There is a known problem with logging in with Firefox.

If SM is using Firefox, suggest he try Chrome, Vivaldi, or MS Edge.

In the meantime, I'll see what I can do.

Sorry about this, SM.

CS here. Sorry about the log-in inconvenience. What forum time I have has recently been spent trying to solve an upgrade problem. Unfortunately the phpBB support forum has proven to be less than useless. However, I think I've located the source of the problem. Is anyone [noddy?] familiar with SQL, ...

Forum backup done.

Very overdue backup done.

As there are quite a number of threads now, it's a bit difficult for the mods to monitor all of them. So some assistance from the community of posters is kindly requested. At the top right side of each post are a set of buttons: [Edit] [Delete] [Report] . . . [Quote] If posters encounter a post they...

Full backup done today.

From the hosting company We're pleased to inform you that the server hosting your onthenatureofthings.net website will be undergoing a major software upgrade, from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6, within the next 48 hours. This upgrade includes newer software packages (including Python, Perl and gcc), as well ...

Some of the personal comments on this thread were over-the-top rude.

A reminder

Nov 2012 is not so far away.

Still, a lot can change between now and then.

Poster feck a.k.a. Odin! has been banned for sending e-mail to the admin [mistakenly to the wrong person -> forwarded] consisting of curses and threats if admin does not do x.

Copy of e-mail is available upon request.

The petty name calling in this thread has gotten out of hand. Yes, I know who started it, but I would simply ask that everyone stop continuing with it. Indonesia is a very interesting topic and the personal histrionics diminishes this thread. Ideally, posters would take it upon themselves to clean a...

Words of wisdom and otherwise from our own Iranian expat.

A reminder to several posters in this thread:

Sparky wrote:How many threads in which Azari spunks off about Iran does this forum actually need?

Indeed. However, we did lack a Latin America thread.

If the posts here persist in being only Iran related, they will be moved to the Iran thread.

Interesting topic moved from a superfluous biomed thread. . Compared with the real cadavers in the lab next door, the virtual one seemed as dynamic as Imax . . . a group of students wearing 3-D glasses made by Nvidia, a graphics processing firm, dissected a virtual cadaver projected on a screen. Usi...

I suggest we be made able to nest more than three quotes. Though I don't like deep nesting of quotes, I have run into the three barrier twice already in the course of fairly routine quoted replies. It seems too low. I don't know what a good limit would be, perhaps five or six? Good point. The quote...

This distinct important topic should have it's own forum, I think.

I'm no fan of our elite overlords but I think the Occupy movement has mostly itself to blame for this. They haven't even generated any ideas yet! Every now and then I still see self-proclaimed Occupy emissaries invited to talk about the "working groups" they're involved with and which the...

All the news about Iran.

Facebook "Like" has been added.

If someone with a Facebook page would please test it and let me know if it works or not.

Thanks for the info.

Logging out and back on appears to have little or no effect. Can edit the last post in Current Events: Gadaffy's Daughter, test post. Can edit some of the posts in this thread: the most recent ones: First editable post is : http://www.onthenatureofthings.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=32#p431 C...
