    Ok, so it seems we were still on ReCaptcha v1, and Google is getting rid of that in March anyway, so I've upgraded to v2....hopefully that will fix it for you.

    I don't have a copy of the image west setup for them...so I'll have to come up with something to replace it.

    Alright, this should be resolved now.
    Here is a report showing the current status of our server's HTTPS support for those that are interested.

    As the forum uses a mobile first theme now, if you have the window too narrow (not sure the exact cutoff as I didn't build the theme) it will change to the mobile layout...Try maximizing your window? And...what resolution do you run your monitor at?
     
    Cutoff seems to be about 950px wide...

    Don't know how he managed it, but he had the indent set with a -100px offset on his first paragraph...I've edited it to fix it.

    Winnipeg got a reaction from North Pacific Spy in I don't really have a title sorry   
    I'm not sure if there even is a memberlist outside the admin panel anymore...
    Although I was able to cheat by using the search system... over over the search box and then click on the drop down (left side of the box) and select members....don't fill in the keyword box and then click search...it should return all members.

    Sorry about that bit of downtime, but the database server was just about to imploded itself again, much like last December.
    You may notice the forums are a bit different looking....by product of the upgrade, so here we are on Invision Power Board 4.1.xx...
     
    Additionally we're now running on new hardware, and on a 1GBit connection instead of the old 100Mbit connection, so hopefully things seem a bit faster.
     
    If you find you are getting odd pages (like no formating) try doing a forced refresh of the page (Press CTRL+F5 together on your keyboard).  This should force the page cache to refresh.

    Found the issue, you didn't close one of your [ nation ] tags (Servus Domini) and having the extra open tag was causing it to do some pretty neat duplication loops.

    Underneath it's all the same hardware these days, so when you buy an Apple you're paying for the design and name as well.  Personally I am still a Windows guy for my workstations/laptops, but most of my servers when I have a choice are Linux (usually Ubuntu Server these days).
    If you're going for an HP, I would have a look at their Business lineup rather than their consumer if you can...the HP ProBooks (yeah, I know, basically rifting off the Mac Book name) are quite good...we brought in about 400 of them last year at my office and I've only had to do warranty on maybe 4 of them...  and so far only one kid has managed to actually damage the case so bad that we had to order new parts, so they seem fairly durable.  And they're light weight.
     
    Personally I'm a sucker for the Dell XPS 15 that they showed off this year, but I'm not in the market for a new laptop for a while...plus I don't think the School Board is going to buy me a top end model like that without some questions....... lol

    Just so people are aware, I've seen a huge increase in the number of IPs harvesting html data from the site in the last few days.  Some are listed on blacklists for being "Website Harvesters" so it's completely possible that they may try setting up some form of phishing site related to our forums.
     
    I and the other Admins will never ask for your password in an email, and if you do get a message claiming to be from me or anyone else here at TWP Forums, make sure that any links they send you to are actually going to www.westpacific.org or westpacific.org.  Accept no substitute!
