Someone got hold of my password and installed a fake package (addon) through the admin center which replaced the main file of the forum. Oddly enough the IP address traces back to a company that's only an hour or so from here. That IP has since been banned at the server level and I changed my password.

General Discussion / Re: What have you done today?
April 17, 2016, 01:53:52 PM
I was pretty busy the past two days. I took Friday night off at work and went up to Kings Island for their passholder preview night (passholders who renewed by a certain date get to visit the park the night before it opens for the season). Since I don't work til 4 most days I also went back up there Saturday morning for about 5 hours, then stopped by to visit my grandpa before work because it was his 91st birthday, then I went to work from 4 til 12:15. I was so tired by the time I got home but it was well worth it.
#124
I'll have to check those links out when I have time.
#125
I'm aware of that issue. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with it but will talk with the developer when I get a chance and see if we can get it fixed.
#126
I'm watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Saw it in the theater and recently bought the Blu Ray. There's an entire disc of bonus content.
#127
There's a story somewhere where Archie and his parents are going to an Andrews family reunion. Lots of relatives show up in that story and are never seen/heard from again.

Not sure where they're coming from. Probably cached versions of things.

I'm still working on trying to get that data back too. I'm in the process of downloading the disk image from my old host (which, at 100GB in size, is taking a while), and a friend is going to look at it and see if he can fix it so we can get the data.

If by any chance I'm able to get the data back I'll see about merging it in with the new data as well (which is a royal pain but still possible).

On the subject of used bookstore chains, the only one I know of here in the states (or at least in my part of the country) is Half Price Books, and I've only found Archie Comics there once (I bought a bunch of digests for $1 a pop the one time I did find them there). Most of the time they just have back issues of various DC and Marvel titles (and the like) - all the "popular" titles that people supposedly want to buy these days (I've never gotten into Marvel or DC and don't understand why those have so much more of a following than Archie does).
#131
I'm actually a bit surprised at all the hype this pilot is getting because The CW isn't a big network, nor has it ever been. They've had some hits over the years, but it's been a while to my knowledge.
#132
Mine refers to my love of Oldies music. The extra "n" on the end is a bit of creativity on my part. When I came up with this name in high school, I wanted something I could use across the net without there being any chance that someone else had already taken it. "Oldiesman" and similar nicknames are quite popular, and I was taking German in high school at the time, so I changed "man" to its German equivalent.

Sorry for not responding sooner. I've been busy the past couple days.

The maximum file size is 1000x1000 or 5MB, whichever comes first.

"See Albums" shows all the members who have created albums along with how many they've created. If you click on your name you'll see the three you've made. You can also hover over "My Media" in the menu and click "My Albums" to see all of them.

Everything should be fixed now. I forgot to give the appropriate permissions to the groups above "newbie".
