Does a **BigT** post echo? Apparently it does! Who knew?

I had noticed early this morning that the [+] menu item pop-up seems to be working again on my Win10-Edge tablet. I didn’t reboot or clear cache or anything. Browser had been restarted a few times to no effect then suddenly “Poof; we’re back in business.”

Update: the plus sign stopped working on my iPad again. Rebooting isn’t helping this time, either.

ETA: FWIW, my iPad storage is only at 50%, with over 230 GB free. I do have a lot of tabs open in Safari, though.

> Glad to hear your problem is fixed! There’s a recurring meme on the British sitcom _The IT Crowd_ where every time Roy gets an IT support call on the phone, his standard line is “have you tried turning it off and on again?” It’s amazing how successful you can be in IT support with just that one remedy

As a USPS electronics technician, I can tell you that it’s pretty frequently the solution to computer issues on our sorting systems (the problems aren’t frequent, but that solution has about an 85% success rate). So it’s a useful tool, but even when it works, it means fifteen minutes of downtime.

AND MINIMIZING DOWNTIME IS HOW WE JUSTIFY OUR $35 PER HOUR WAGE!
