    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone Else Seeing This??

Just curious if anyone else is seeing some "different than usual" screens? I took this screen shot of the BP Forum to show an example. This screen seemed to be the best representative, as I think it helps pinpoint when this (whatever it is) happened. You can see that the last post in my screenshot--created at 9:02) is normal, but from the post created at 9:12 and later has the same pic. Everything below it is normal and this seems to be about the time that I noticed something change last night (a few minutes after 9PM EST).

This same image is all over the BOI, too, but I didn't want to bring (show) names from there, here.

Just checked some more pages, and I think the BP classifieds helped to narrow down the time of this happening. The last "normal" ad was placed at 9:02 PM. The next ad, placed at 9:05, has this same albino BP, as does every single post made after that time, regardless of which page you go to (forums, classifieds, BOI, etc).
 
I don't see any preview pics at all when I look at the discussion forums. Right now, the preview pics in the classified forums are OK from where I'm sitting.

That's bizarre. I'm seeing this same albino BP on EVERY single post that has been made, or posted on, after 9:02 PM. Each classified ad has this pic on the post with the actual pic of the ad to the left of it. And it's in the same place on every BOI thread that's been posted on after that time. :shrug01:

I'm using Firefox, but I'll go to IE and see if it's the same.
 
Okay. IE shows things like I'm used to seeing while Firefox is showing it all screwed up.

I guess my next question is, does anyone using Firefox see what I am? If not, there's something wrong with my system. I'm posting another pic of the top of the main screen. IE is the normal one (shown first), followed by how Firefox has it jumbled.

Never mind. With the exception of a couple of less noticeable quirks, everything looks to be back to normal. Had I not taken screenshots, I'd swear that my level of "crazy" had shot through the roof! Carry on. LOL
