Hi Chris,

 

Have you ever considered having another forum category that is all things power supply related. 

 

I know I would like it....

 

Thanks,

Christopher

Just heard back from the developer of this plugin and unfortunately the bookmarks are gone :~(

 

This is a third party add-on I installed and it was coded badly.

 

So sorry for the troubles. Thanks for your patronage of CA. 

 

Oh man, what a bummer. I had quite a collection of them that was immensely useful.

 

Is it possible to retrieve the bookmarks themselves from backup, even if the feature is gone going forward?

Great idea. Let me load a backup on the staging site and see how to get people their bookmarks.

Is there a way to block these annoying flashing/moving gif's people are selecting as their user pic?

No

Some browsers have an option to stop animated gifs.

For Firefox, you have a choice of "normal", "once" or "none".

In the URL field, enter about:config

In the search box above the list, search for image.animation_mode

Change the value to one of the above.

I hate the distraction of even the ones I like.

While I avoid most social media like the plague , I can tolerate all the little round icons in a row at the bottom.  But why are the Facebook and Twitter icons repeated again at the very bottom of the page, separate from the main row where they already appear?

Different functions. The ones at the bottom link to the CA accounts on FB and Twitter.

Ah, makes sense, thanks.  So the long row of 9 icons are just free advertising links.

Those are for sharing the current page on the various sites.

Thanks for trying. Only one of my bookmarks was important to me: Charles Hansen on DAC design. I'm having trouble finding that post again now, and it's not like I can ask him about it. At least not for a while anyway.

Haven’t read all this tread. And search is horrible. 

 

But all all my bookmarks is gone. 

 

Anyone else same problem.

The new search uses Elasticsearch technology and its far better than the native search for this platform. Can you give an example of what’s so horrible?

 

i can get your bookmarks from backup.

I've seen it too. Firefox/Linux and Chrome/Android.

[The Computer Audiophile]

Ok thanks. Trying to figure out if it’s a recent update to php 7.2 or a CMS platform update.
