    SERVER MIGRATION

    Another special character. This frenchman's name "Sauve" ends with an "e" with an acute accent. It comes out as Sauv? .

    SERVER MIGRATION

    I'm not getting that. About 1 in 20 posts, particularly long complicated ones, I get a "leave site" message followed by cloudflare asking me to "Verify that you are human". Usually it works out fine. Every couple of days when cloudflare asks if I'm human, it ends up losing the post. Sometimes...

    POSTING PICTURES NOW ENABLED

    It's probably in the EXIF Data. Some programs obey the EXIF "Orientation" value, and others do not. On average, newer software tends to obey, and older software tends not to. There are EXIF editors. I don't think Orientation shows up in the file metadata in Windows Explorer Properties Details...

    COMING SITE UPGRADES

    Foxer used to reflect that he was once over ~200,000 posts on CGN, then during a site upgrade suddenly he was down under ~30,000.

    COMING SITE UPGRADES

    On CGN, the only characters that are allowed in titles are : ([a-zA-Z0-9:.,$%!?'-+/ ]) By way of example ' is fine, but ‘ and ’ are not. Lots of newspaper article titles contain such characters. When I copy/paste those titles here at GoC they copy just fine. When I copy/paste those titles at...

    COMING SITE UPGRADES

    [humor] Is Ninja Bot surveying GunOwnersOfCanada for ideas? Years ago BlackSmithDen posted that in a pinch he turned his toaster on the side to re-heat pizza. And now it's a thing... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08QZYYR27

    COMING SITE UPGRADES

    I thought it was simply having a logon required for most forums, to prevent search bots (google) from scanning them, and evil bots hitting them. (and unlike Off Topics, they must still be searchable) That's not human beings doing that. That's bots. The idea is that in addition to increased...

    Web site slow again and getting error messages

    Don't you need a copper coin and a galvanized nail to make that work? (potato battery)

    Can’t access GOC from my house down south

    Try using a VPN -- then you can pretend to be from anywhere. i.e. hopscotch. If you're already on a VPN, then Cloudfare may be blocking you. Try another VPN server until you find one that works.

    Posting pictures

    Every day when I dump CGN's "laugh threads" over here, there are CGN uploaded attachments that normally I would have used GoC's upload attachment feature to handle. Sometimes if there are a bunch, or if they're exceptional, I upload them to my website. But the ones that are timely thus only...

    website slow

    It has been a week of "get it right the first time." When I post to the laugh thread this week, I pause before pushing the POST QUICK REPLY button to ensure I haven't made any bbcode grammatical mistakes. Because EDIT then SAVE takes forever. When posting videos this week, I no longer use the...
