LikeRa...I have come several times lately, and on a Page where a YouTube video is, the Browser shows Youtube cucling and cycling trying to Link to YouTube, and finally my Computer Freezes, & I have to Reboot. I tried Firefox Help, Ubuntu Help, it seems I do not now how to frame my problem.

If I open a Forum where a Video is, ir starts Cycling in the Left Corner Fifefox ....until it eats up a ll my memoty. I am running a olf ThinkPad X201.

I never had to enable DRM on my computers, but you can try. You can also try Chrome.

We've got a free upgrade to 160GB storage space (from 90) and 5TB traffic (from 4TB). I'm going to split 160GB in two 80GB parts and use one of them for backup. The question is about the best way to make backups/restores. I do not want mirroring.

OTOH, it might make no sense, because both "disks" most likely are located within one file... And it's better to use one big 160GB partition and make backups to my home computer, as I do now.

Thoughts?

Backing up to the same machine is no backup so backups to your home computer is better.

Yes, exactly. What means we have 160GB of disk space now 😁

The following has been upgraded:

o- The forum siftware
o- ThankYou plugin (The TY alerts are reset)
o- View Unread posts plugin

As always a lot of bugs were fixed, but possibly new bugs were introduced (I hope they are not too annoying 😉 )

Yeeaaahhh!!! The latest upgrade fixed some nasty bugs! The Game section is back! And I see the statistics graphs in the Admin panel! Both were broken for at least half a year.

My fix (the bug reported by @MadJack) is also incorporated into this version.

Ahhhh…. I may have found a new bug in the latest software

When using Private Messages the screen 'tiles' all seem to go wrong when you open up 'more' of the emoticons - see image below:

   

Although I can still type a message and select an emoticon I can't scroll up/down to access any of the Preview/Send/Save buttons 

Suspect its just a screen layout issue, but..... ?
