Hi, both my computers and my phone are on dark mode, they have to be for my eyes.

Thanks anyway.

As suggested yesterday I cleared the cookies from Firefox just for five minutes of joy on this forum. A remarkably silly thing to do. I lost ease of access to a lot of important websites. I have just accessed the forum through the Microsoft Edge which I never use.

I could make many comments. But why?

As the poet said “The pump don’t work because the vandals took the handle”. So I will be drinking Burgundy until this hiatus is will and truly cleared.

Having used the Internet from the days when you had to compile gcc (24 hours) with the (limited) installed C compiler. Then  glib C (24 more hours) with  gcc. Then X (yet another 24 hours). Then compile Mosaic (another, further 24 hours), then use altavista.digital.com as the (only) search engine, I can’t be bothered about the odd second or five when loading a web page.

PS:- All times relevant to Sun 360 and Hewlett Packard 320 computers.

 

We’re really quite spoiled about what we can do on the Interwebs these days. Just think back to the times when one sent a postcard to a supplier that one had read about in ME, requesting a catalogue! 😀

Don’t really get your point, Mark. It’s simple progress which goes on in all walks of life. We are not “quite spoiled”.

If you click on the annoying Warco pop up ad it still doesn’t work (on my iPad).  I hope they are not paying for it.

Warco works on my Android phone, rather too well with my clumsy fingers.

You will be lucky!

Which is why I asked how Maurice used his 12 year old iPad. My present understanding its that its only use nowadays is as an ornament (I did a factory reset so dont have any of my old apps on it).

Which version of iOS do you have on that iPad, Ian ?

Just to add to the pool of evidence:

 

I logged-in, easily and quickly, this morning whilst out for my walk in the rain. … using DuckDuckGo on an iPhone

Your Honour following my learned friend’s recent disclosure above I just logged out and tried to get back in.

At least there is a message there now saying there are problems which there indeed are as I was once again in the loop not knowing if I was in or out and had to again resort to logging in via WordPress.

So on that evidence I would say it is still Fooked.

As I said early on it does not look like Darren has been able to sort it so will have to wait for Andy to return on Wednesday as it was obviously not thought urgent enough to call him in from stand by. They have not even bothered to lift the “accidental” ban on pour old Frances yet which is a couple of clicks for those with the access level.

Just a bit more fettling and she’ll run like a nut

The various monster banners when you first arrive are kinda irritating though

At least we can all get together and have a good moan now, so things are definitely improving

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

It was still the red notice when I posted earlier, still did not get in with the green until I deleted ME cookies but then got in.
