That's caught me a couple of times as well since I changed my user name last year.
HOA4EVR always struck me as better suited to a license plate than a user name anyway.

Thanks!!

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Yeah, otherwise all you hear is "Hey stop hitting me with that hammer!  That's my Windex!  You broke my squeegie!"  etc.

Thanks cordex!

I guess I should figure out how to use Brave or some similar browser on my phone to access the alternate site.  Are there any free browsers for that?  Last I remember I?d have to pay for a supported browser.

Brave is free and supports the type of connection you need for the alternate site.  That said, I haven't been to the alternate site in quite a while.  For some reason it doesn't like my password.  It's like it changes the password or loses it between logins.

Thanks!!

Hey Cordex - any input regarding avatars? I don't know if space is an equation here like it was on the old server, but any preference on uploading vs linking avatars (it appears uploaded avatars were left behind in the move (no big deal))?

I don't know what the official answer is, but I uploaded a picture of Seren as my avatar.

I saw that.  =)

I could not bring myself to replace the avatar of old Romy, but now that it has disappeared, I figure it's Steve's turn and it wasn't me that replaced Romy's avatar, so I don't feel as bad.  =)

Not sure about the space issue.  I have avatars turned off so I didn?t even notice.  I?ll see if I can recover the missing avatars but anyone who wants can replace theirs.

Anyone want to volunteer to leave their avatar broken so I can try to fix it?

Sure, if all I need to do is delete my new one.  (I don't like it all that much anyway)

No, my volunteer needs to have never changed it after the rollover.

I haven't messed with mine, feel free to muck around with it.

Okay, looks like character encoding has been fixed.
