    Give me the names of the men and women who oversee this server. Then prepare that many graves. Possibly less, I may emulsify some.

    Isn't it weird that humanity loses any sense of history in Asimov's long arc from the robot novels to the end of Foundation, but they still have blasters and neuronic whips the whole time?

    whois is where you start your search. Now you can do your own homework.

    I know it is a joke, but in case anyone needs to know where to start their research, that is the place.

    Honesty I'm glad this happened because I finally switched over to Opera on my phone. Chrome was becoming increasingly shitty with how much it lagged and prioritized ads. Opera has built in ad block and seems to otherwise load sites well.

    The only downside is that I need to transfer over my saved passwords for all of my Wordforge duals.

    Incognito mode in Chrome works for me. (I know I could clear my cache and cookies, but frankly I hate doing that because of how many other things it makes harder.)

    Question for @Order2Chaos or whoever else may be handling things ... should we continue to tell you about links that don't work because they direct to an https, or not bother because an overall fix is imminent anyway?

    BTW, if there ends up being a collection to pay for whatever needs to be done, I'm happy to chip in.

    copy and paste this link (don't just click it. That will transfer your bank balance to me.) to your chrome browser address bar and it will allow you to exorcise just the WF cookies.

    The "New Posts" button in the secondary nav bar works; the one in the primary nav bar doesn't.

    Jeez I go away for a few days and the board tanks.

    Still can't get it to work on my Chrome browser, even after doing all the magical cache clearing and DNS releasing and cookie eating.

    Your absence caused a glitch in the Unimatrix.

    Just so you know my tldr rep bot is again functioning properly with the new stealth shielding up. I was worried he might have been lost but he has found his way through the distortion again.

    Should we leave some sort of coded probe around to inform any entities who might be looking for the moon of WF and not know we have cloaked it for certain browsers? Or perhaps there should be some form of communication made on the major channels of TrekBBS so no one misses us or crashes into us while cloaked? I am not saying we should inform something like TK or ED or anything. Best if they are not informed.

    Well this thread is helpful. I finally was able to log in on my phone. And I see that from my chromebook I have not been able to log in.

    I don't know what I ever did to Lanzman, but they were no help to me from TK. So thank you for that.

    All they did was insult me and say "its working" when clearly there was a whole thread dedicated to the very issue I was having.

    Oh THAT New Posts. I thought y'all were talking about the secondary nav bar vs the footer bar (and I've apparently been blind to the fact that we had a new posts link in the primary nav bar). Fixed.

    I'm able to access Wrodforge through Firefox, but for some reason I can longer see Tweets embedded in the threads.

    @steve2^4 is overjoyed. :garamet:
