I wonder if they have/will fix the download limit from the de facto 2MB limit back to its 3MB advertised limit size or even go higher since they are supposedly going/have gone to new servers ?  ???

I see the system already failing again; avatars show up sporadically, pictures sporadically; refreshing the page over and over does little, some things will appear, some won't.  Noticed this starting a few days ago, only getting worse, don't think I have ever seen a more problematic platform, it's like 1990s technology still in use today for all those remembering the internet at the time and Windows 95 software.

I miss it too, and Kithara misses Windows ME.

Windows ME was the worst version of the OS until Windows 8 showed up :D

Weird: I recently was subjected to an extended rant from someone who thought Windows 8 was when MS finally got the operating system right, and every iteration of Windows 10 just made things worse and worse and worse. I don't happen to agree with that, but I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore."

I agree, Windows 8 was the worst for a desktop

In my opinion, they should never had changed from Windows 7. That was the best consumer Windows OS they'd produced.

My progression through windows has been 3.1, 95, 98, XP, 7, and then 10.
Kithara's progression has been 3.0, 3.1, 95, ME, 7, and now 10.
Her statement about ME was half in jest and part out of nostalgia.
Still have her old ME machine to run ancient DOS games emulated on an XP OS. (with no internet connection)

She is a major gamer gal and has a nice custom built machine now.
I have 3 machines I use for various tasks depending on processing power.

Will stick with 10 till we either have to change or something better than it actually comes out.
So far the site has been limping along and sort of works currently, except for the odd file name saving.
