I'm here to help :halo:

See Outlander's post above.

Great news! Thanks for trying that, that's good to know. I can't see those images though. "Content not viewable in your region"
February 21, 2026 at 08:56
Unfortunately yes, Windows 7 is too old. Firefox dropped support for Windows 7 in 2023 (I think), and Discourse droppped support for old browsers in 2...
February 21, 2026 at 07:45
Ok, but from my point of view I just want to make sure you successfully sign up on the other site. If you were not able to do that for some reason, I ...
February 20, 2026 at 21:56
As to the practical matter, what was the problem you faced when you tried to sign up?
February 20, 2026 at 20:45
I don't think that's relevant, because I couldn't single-handedly repeal the Online Safety Act even if I wanted to. I've done plenty of examination of...

I'm afraid you have to pay for the privilege. Only subscribers can upload their own avatars.
February 19, 2026 at 20:47
:cool:
February 19, 2026 at 20:16
This might sound like a dumb question but have you signed up?
February 19, 2026 at 20:09
Exactly.
February 19, 2026 at 20:08
Aha. Note the gear icon = "Can be enabled or adjusted by an admin setting". It doesn't appear in the "Post images" or "Post attachments" rows.
February 19, 2026 at 19:55
After looking into it again, yes. Where did you get that image? Could it be that it's not showing anything configurable? Even if some installations al...

Or Inlander? Glad to hear it :up: Who can say?
February 19, 2026 at 12:33
How about you stop blabbering and get over to the new forum? I expect you'll have more trouble than most owing to your paleolithic computer, so I'd li...

You have to create a new account:

I don't think we'll need the Business Plan. Pro Plus should be enough, and it'll be a while before we need that. It's about image storage. 1. There's ...
February 19, 2026 at 10:08
Pro Plus will be £180 (including sales tax) and then the next one up is the Business plan, which is £500/month.
February 19, 2026 at 09:36
That's the spirit!
February 19, 2026 at 09:35
Yeah, it's great. I just mean we're not raking in £255/month.
February 19, 2026 at 08:43
I suspected you'd photoshopped it at first. :grin: Well, that was easier than expected! Useful, because I expect we'll need to upgrade to the Pro Plus...

Helvetica is lovely but I can't get over the following problem. In a font with serifs: Ill In Helvetica: Ill
February 19, 2026 at 02:11
Same thing, yes. There are technical downsides to having single-character usernames. Currently the minimum length is 3. There's a way around it though...
February 19, 2026 at 02:05
It's just the site, but loaded in its own "app" with a stripped down version of Chrome. You can still open it in a regular browser. OK, I said I would...
February 18, 2026 at 19:07
Seems pretty clean to me: /uploads/resized/files/f5/x7fxa26xvkxt1xg2.png
February 18, 2026 at 18:57
Please ask questions about Discourse on the new (Discourse) forum.
February 18, 2026 at 18:49
FYI I won't be staying around here to have a conversation about it though. I'll keep an eye on this thread just to check if people are having problems...
February 18, 2026 at 18:48
I understand that some people prefer the simplicity of PlushForums. I agree, it's great as far as it goes, a very elegant design in terms of functiona...
February 18, 2026 at 18:46
And thank you, BC.
February 18, 2026 at 18:37
It's just a regular design problem. As I explained, it's probably because I'm using more custom fields on the signup form than is normal. No time like...
February 17, 2026 at 17:19
Anthropologists treat it as an empirical question, not a thought experiment. The evidence from many small-scale foraging societies is that they're rel...
February 17, 2026 at 17:06
Ultra-patriarchal ways of life are characteristic primarily of settled, agricultural, and urban societies that have property, inheritance, surplus pro...
February 17, 2026 at 16:26
I'll look into fixing the signup form. The one I set up has two custom fields, which is unusual. That's probably why the button has been pushed down o...
February 17, 2026 at 15:46
Yes, you should see a "Sign up" button. If you can't see it (I think it's hidden on mobile devices), go to Log in and then "I don't have an account" o...
February 17, 2026 at 15:45
I see, yes, good thinking. EDIT: Done.
February 17, 2026 at 15:13
I'll miss that troublesome space. But are you asking me to change your username here, on the old site?
February 17, 2026 at 15:11
That's odd. At least you got there in the end.
February 17, 2026 at 15:00
Ah, I just tried it myself and found the same thing. On my phone, in Firefox, the button is getting hidden behind the "Saved passwords" thing at the b...
February 17, 2026 at 14:59
Can you remember what the problem was exactly?
February 17, 2026 at 14:45
This winter... one forum faces its greatest migration yet.
February 16, 2026 at 20:24
It's always good to announce every forthcoming announcement. :chin:
February 16, 2026 at 19:24
An announcement about the TPF migration will be posted tomorrow or the day after. In a nutshell, this site will be closed in about 10-12 days, if all ...
February 16, 2026 at 18:04
I was in an Airbnb for a week recently and every morning I found trails of shimmering slime all over the lounge and kitchen. Finally I found the culpr...
February 16, 2026 at 17:55
They say it gets easier after page 50 or 100, can't remember. I've read others of his: Mason & Dixon, Inherent Vice, and Against the Day. All good, es...
February 16, 2026 at 12:25
Mine too.
February 15, 2026 at 17:54
My own antipathy, actually :grin:

Sorry, Steely Dan is banned where I live.
