Hell ye, thanks!

Could do with my old account SatanicSmile if it's not too much trouble (I'm Carlos on discord, username the.salmon)

Either way, great to see the forum back
Temporary forum account of SatanicSmile (my own account is likely locked, can't get pass recovery email for some reason)

Thanks Robocop!

Forum upgrade? I don't know this idea, I hear it 1st time. 8) Okay, actually, one colleague informed me of such news. Thank you, Jens! You are the master of piss walking (and forum administration). :-D

I was able to update my avatar no issue. And posted an image embed no issue in other discussions. Other than that, I am not advanced. Zenith is, though. He may be asleep in New Jersey.

I see Salmon did a comprehensive test. Very good results! I remember, about 5 years ago, it wasn't even possible to post a message without altering some malformed HTML with the browser developer tools (see here). Everything seems to be in working order now.

One major difference between 5 years ago and today is the massive surge of website scrapers for training LLMs and other generative AI. Seems like nearly the entire internet has locked itself down with anti-DDoS services like Cloudflare in order to prevent these scrapers from either bogging down the servers or simply for ideological reasons.

So, with that said, if you notice a lot of unwanted traffic here, it might be worth it to implement such a service here.

what the FUUUUCK :shock: , my childhood dreams have now flown back into my body. They've been floating in spaace since that fateful day when the submit button's value property stopped working even with console tinkering. Now it's all back, vitality, nature-force, living-drive, phallic-destiny.

Oh, thank you master Jens, I will put on Fjäderlösa Tvåfotingar as a silent ode today

And thank you Roboman for the heads-up I would have never known otherwise
