Hi can I ask what hardware, operating system and browser you are using to cut and paste/post to the forum?
I use roundo dark to view the forum nowadays, and for some reason many of your pasted quotes on your posts are preformated in some html type of thing, with text set in some black or dark grey that makes them invisible in roundo dark.
You're the only member of the site this frequently occurs with... the only browser I vaguely remember that had such weird behaviour was Microsoft's old Internet Explorer (IE)...? Just wondering what is causing it to happen so often on your posts... and wondered if it was IE you were using?

Of course, Microsoft Edge, Max.

That's not good, but I have no idea why. I have had several problems with the forum which I just put up with because I can't do anything about them (I'm not complaining BTW). One is..when I post any text, the writing is microscopic, so I have to turn it blue and go to the font size to make it larger.
Another is I have to keep signing in, the 'remember me' function doesn't work for me. I also can't access the portal anymore, I just get a 'page not found'.

A box computer ? A genius key board and a neovo monitor. Basically cr*p... but I don't like technology much. Oh and virgin provider.

You know, Max, I was much happier with black and white telly even radio with diodes and two tin cans with a piece of string between them. You can blame Woerlee for my presence/activity on the net. Without him, I never would have bothered.

You would have gone on the net anyway.
I bought mum (80+) a little
chromebox, with a
big monitor around 4 years ago, to replace her knackered and virus ridden laptop. Plugged it in for her, and away she went. It's limited, but allows her to browse the web and get email, and she's never had a problem with it.

No, I wouldn't Max, honestly. I'm glad your mum is enjoying it, though !

Unfortunately, I don't know why this happens, but have experienced it a few times myself. The issue is probably deep in the depths of the editor that MyBB uses - an editor that is known to have a few quirks. If I ever figure it out, I'll fix it and let you know.

Hmm. That's not good. Sometimes, session issues like that are caused by some sort of problem (I'm not sure exactly what) with browser cookies. Can you please try clearing your browser cookies for psiencequest.net and then logging in again and letting us know whether that solves the problem?

I think I've fixed this problem - please let me know whether it's fixed for you too.

Oh I'm not shy, Laird, don't you worry about that ! Rather, I don't like giving people work. I was brought up with something of a "make do and mend" principle, a bit like you tough old Aussies in the outback. Never throw away a bucket with a hole in it, just tilt it to one side and use a bit less water. Works, doesn't it.

Thanks and no worries ! It's only a few seconds more work.

I think I'll just leave it as it is (bucket with a hole in it)

Thanks ! I'll just try when I've posted this and then edit it. Edit : You cracked it, Laird ! Not the bucket !
