I did miss the community of this board – large platforms like Twitter can not replace small communities. ---

Seems okay at the moment. But last night our time, about 10 hours ago, I kept getting server errors, so many that I finally gave up and just closed the window. Couldn’t even log out properly. Hope all really is well now. ---

The good news is that many of us realized that we can not live without virtual community. I like this board and several boards in Russian. ---

They fixed the clock? Hoo-boy, can’t wait to hit the submit now now to see if they fixed the trailing double period in the “Reason for editing” box! Ready? 1, 2, ETA: Hoo-ah! Clean and neat like just hopped off the barber’s chair. - off to go resurrect the thread where I raise this horrible scar on the old, unimproved (? too soon?) SD \* ETA2: They got rid of the "reasoning :(. So many good funnies never to be written! ETA3: But instead of the trailing double periods typo, there’s a semicolon, which is equally a typo. SD, you still are scarred! ---

Yes, I see we’re back to normal. Once again, I must go into certain threads two or three times before they’re marked as Read, just like before. ---

Wow, I glad I’m not proofreading anymore. Since you know I didn’t edit it at 12:15 AM my time, I’ll just say that makes a big difference, and claim it as my excuse. And now I’m up, posting away. Sheesh. ---

Everything is copacetic on my end, even in Tapatalk. I have one question though; is creating a sock an appropriate reaction when encountering a login problem such as what happened Thursday? Judging by the lack of condemnation by, well, by anybody, I am assuming it is.
