What have I done? I hit something on my screen (bumped the touchpad, I assume) and suddenly that’s what my screen read. What does this mean? Should I “unsubscribe?” Thoughts? Info? Cookies?

Go in your user control panel (user cp button at the top of the page) and unsubscribe from the forum. And then stop playing around with all those big buttons attached to the computing device on your desk. Perhaps you could hire an engineer in a white lab coat to operate the electronic thinking machine for you.

The flashing lights and noises frighten and confuse me!

Thanks for the tip 🙂
