So, we had another kind of technical problem. Whole different one this time, to keep things exciting!

Since the new Header, I keep thinking to myself "2 games enter, 1 game leaves."

Mad Jeb and the Crashing Dome!

Am I the only one who has a shrinking header?

It got smaller than original and now it got smaller again.

Some were complaining about the large header. So, I baked it in the oven on 375 until it shrank. 

I liked the larger header. But...

Ahh, so it is made of a chip packet. We used to shrink those in school on the gas heaters on cold wet winter days.

So the banner is just a shrinky-dink then?

That's the second time it shrunk. See you in two days when it looks like this:

Ewwww, apparently, in different themes, it ignores the size settings? This is what I see in the standard theme view:

Hello , is there any backup file or a "archive" for the forum? 

@Lisias has one.

I reckon if I used that forum theme I would be angry all the time.

I thought the whole site was down for weeks until I just happened to try on my phone.

Now to figure out why I can reach the site on my phone but not my computer, on the same network and before you suggest troubleshooting 101 things yes I tried that.

Um, thanks! I really have been meaning to get rid of the KSP2 banner for quite a while, especially since KSP2 died. I made the banner smaller when folks wanted the new banner to be smaller.  It's been a learning experience because sometimes the forum software behaves in a way that's not expected.

Yeah, because it behaves in a way that I did not expect. Apparently, when images are resized, the "dark theme" is sarcastic and will do its own thing. It wasn't supposed to downsize the image in what appears to be a percentage but in pixel count. And you're right - the color scheme makes me angry (besides what it did to the image size).

Oh dear. When things are going alright, we have nothing to talk about. ;.;

Sure we do. We can talk about how we appreciate it when (the bad thing that happened before) is not currently happening! Be creative!

I had the reverse of your problem in January, where my PC was ok yet phone wouldn't connect to these forums. In my case I found that old bookmarks or cached links saved as "http" were no longer working. I redid them as "https" to get things working again.

You remember the old days, when you would brew yourself a cup of 502, go over to the old wireless and attempt to tune in on the latest Forum Space Opera?

I remember Orson Welles and his "War of the Worlds". How everybody thought we were really getting KSP2 invaded by Mars.

Such memories. :)

Besides my big, wide mouth complaining all the time, I'm really grateful for still having a Forum - the reason I complain so much sometimes it's because I want to see Forum still relevant, and so any perceivable problems should be tackled down - ideally before causing too much damage.

But, still, I am very grateful for it. Perhaps I should externalize it a bit more.

RealLife™ is not helping, as usual - I did a somewhat interesting (well... perhaps not that much) mission in early January that I'm still trying to proper format and diagram to be published on "what did you did today" thread - 3 or 4 days playing, 6 weeks trying to write the damn post. :D

We quickly lose a bit of perspective when we are overloaded. :/
