Anyone else being redirected to the error page upon logging in? Or does it redirect right to the forum index?

Takes a second, but redirects to the forum.

Developers and QA engineers who BOTH miss an entire piece of the acceptance criteria, leaving the FE dev (namely, me) to do it myself.

Ahh, I missed that check box for allowing user to select their own themes. Yous should be good to go now.

I'll check out the shot box issues... thanks for the heads up!

Edit: I think we're good on the shot box issue, too.

Thanks, Chris. Truth be told, these are all terrible themes, but at least the blue ones don't make me want to rip out my eyes.

Honestly, I hate the theme and want the option to change it back. I understand the appeal of dark themes, but black & yellow? What is this, a construction company?

The sidebars bug the shit out of me - but those I can hide.

And unless I'm blind, I don't see a way to participate in the shout box. Must be an admin-only thing.

Friends who make short-sighted decisions.

I'm going to have to tell my father about this - he's all about his Chrome extensions. Guy is still using an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of all his passwords. Unencrypted, too!  :roll:

Can't decide if that's better or worse than a stack of Post-Its.

1Password is a stand-alone app with browser extensions for (at least) Chrome, Firefox and Safari, along with an iOS app. I've been using it for a few years and highly recommend.

hackess.slack.com didn't work so I gambled on geekery.slack.com and won, but I'm too much of a coward to sign in without being sure it's you guys.

In case anyone else is hunting for it, it's neither of those. Send myself or Demo a message if you want to be invited.

... my first experience was Symphony of the Night on PlayStation ...

Hard to improve from there, IMO. The only reason I still have an original PlayStation console.

I still dabble in WoW, and am occasionally on Diablo 3. I was addicted to Darkest Dungeon for a while, but I borrow the game through library sharing with my just-as-addicted partner, so...

Mersault just mentioned Tyranny on FB, so I might need to spend some money.

What a freggin' roller coaster. Facebook has blown up with people outraged that their candidate didn't win. It's alright though... once Sunday rolls around everyone will forget about this when their precious football team plays.

Y'know, if people remembered that we have commonalities - even those as superficial as which sports teams we follow - maybe we wouldn't be such a divided country. I want to believe that, anyway.

The real question is... are you rocking an Android phone or an Apple?

Been on iPhones since the 3S. :)

- My neighbors who have been running a leaf  blower for about two hours now, yet only have about 200 square feet of grass to tend to. How is this even possible?!

It's a dirt blower.

Inspired by a meme making the rounds on various social media whatwhozits, I'm starting our own thread. Every day you remember to read this forum, let alone be motivated to post something (you lazy selfish bastards), list the 3 things for which you are at least somewhat OR not at all grateful. Might as well throw in the fun of guessing which way you lean.

*BUMP*

NP, Anytime!

I think you should even be able to change your user name back if you wanted to. Who was it that deleted your user account in the first place? LOL!

Some guy (:w: BizB :w:)

WB WK!

In odd hybrid news, I seem to have merged with myself. Chris did some kind of Dr. Frankenstein magicks on that. THANKS MANG!
