Same here, been trying to see active topics
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

I'll let Troy know. I know I've been hitting some real slow spots off and on today!

Re: Gremlins
I have been noticing something that has been different in recent months. For years when I received an e-mail about a new post, the link used to take me to 'that' post. Now, it takes me to posts much earlier in the thread instead of the post that triggered the notification. I thought maybe it was a thing that only affected mobile devices or iOS, but the same thing happens on a PC.
I sure wish the Forum had an app.

Can you provide me with a copy of a link you're clicking on that isn't taking you to the spot you're expecting? Feel free to forward the message to my email or PM it to me.
Thanks,

Re: Gremlins
I have another gremlin to report. :-( when on a PC, I like to type longer posts in MS Word, and then paste them into the box. Today, however, when I hit 'preview' or 'submit', it tells me there are too few characters and all my pasted text is gone.
I hope this is not permanent, I would really miss being able to use word processing to put my posts together.

Re: Gremlins
We haven't changed anything at all on this end. If this problem just started all of a sudden for you today, then it seems like it could be a bug in your web browser. I would suggest closing it down and running it again to see if that helps.

Nope, no dice. Even using a different browser, tried pasting from notepad and sticky too.

Just tried copy 'n paste and it works fine. Windows 10 with latest update.

Maybe it got a VIRUS ? It seems to be the thing of the time.

Look into downloading Grammarly, it's what I use. It auto checks everything and the working page is browser based.
