@Octane You're welcome. If I were you, I'd still use that info and that manual to see if everything is set up as it is supposed to be. You might never know what settings the previous owner has changed or added, which might in hindsight be responsible for your recent issues.
@Delibheel So... you closed down the "As a woman, I don't object to sexy women in video games" thread, but you allowed the republican vs democrat debate to run free in the "How American are" thread? I think the former is more innocent than the latter, and it only got derailed by Charlie the Extremist, as per usual.
If not for him/her, there wouldn't have been any unpleasant part to the discussion.
It was actually interesting and informative, to read about a woman's view on these things for a change, and to see that definitely not all of them agree with the standard, more feminist trope. Instead, I think both threads could have been served with a couple of warnings to the people derailing them, instead of not allowing normal people to discuss it in a friendly and social manner. No offense meant, just my view on things.

@ThanosReXXX I glanced earlier and it seems like the bullhorns left the "How American" thread and it continued on as a normal discussion. Maybe the diff was that both the OP and FP got hung up on disagreement for the sake of it that the sexy lady thread was getting the dumpster fire early?
But yeh, I saw those few posts in "How American" and decided to stay away. I don't like the whole name-calling and hyperbole antics people use, especially for politics but just when coming across different views in general. At the end of the day, I'm gonna be sleeping in my bed and dreaming my dreams, not living someone else's life. So why make things miserable for myself, haha.
Today is a rough day at work. It's just draining with the sheer amount of times I've had to repeat myself. We've got over 500 employees, and I'm quite sure I've repeated things enough for all of them to hear many times over le sigh

@CharlieSmile I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure Thanos said "him/her", as in, "I don't know so I don't want to make assumptions". Nowhere in his post did he refer to you strictly as a "he".
It's worth mentioning I don't mean just that one example, btw.
Anyway, @ThanosReXXX seeing how @Octane has posted in that thread I now declare that thread his and he must keep an eye on it.
@JackEatsSparrows Ah, good to hear that it has normalized. Some people will simply grab any and all opportunities to push whatever agenda or short-sighted idea they have, unfortunately.
As for that work situation: been there, done that, so I feel for you. Even more so, since the amount of people is a bit larger than I used to have to deal with. Regardless, it's one of the reasons why I decided to become an independent contractor. Not enough days in the week left to un-stress after yet another crappy and pressure-filled day working for the boss-man...
@Delibheel Mind you, I have to stress that I don't want you to close that thread, just take a look and see if you agree on certain individuals taking it to the wrong next level. The idea of the thread was decent, and like @JackEatsSparrows says, it seems to have calmed down now, but in general, in several threads and/or comments sections, it's always the same people being the instigators, instead of being more open-minded to other's ideas, something they strangely (and quite often) accuse others of...
By the way, what the heck is a tumblr attitude? And forgive me for apparently being too old and not enough social media engaged to get that one.

@Delibheel You know I only check this site a handful of times a day until I find the time to fix my internet? Don't blame me if it's a dumpster fire next time I take a look!
Some of the earlier comments, well, we can do without the first two pages in that thread. But I'm on my phone, and doing mod stuff is a pain in the butt!
@Delibheel I was just about to say that you were mistaking real kids for virtual pets.
Don't forget to water your plants. Or go for cactusses, erm... cacti.
