It's the Cloudflare stuff. Apparently, VBF doesn't work from Chrome or Brave for me but it will work from Edge.

I don't have an issue with it on Chrome.
I use chrome also. No problems lately except for cloudflare always verifying I'm human.
Are you a human???
I asked ChatGPT:
It responded:Quote:
Can you generate an image of Bender from Futurama with a speech bubble saying "Yes"?
After I responded with "Yes" it generated the above "non-Bender" image.Quote:
Sorry, I can’t create an image of Bender from Futurama because that’s copyrighted material.
But I can help you in a couple of other ways:
I could make a generic cartoon robot in a similar style (metallic body, antenna, big eyes) with a speech bubble that says “Yes.”
Or, if you want something closer, I could guide you through generating it yourself with a free image model (like Stable Diffusion) where you’d use prompts such as “cartoon robot with a cylindrical body, antenna on head, holding a beer, with a speech bubble that says YES, in Futurama-inspired style”.
Would you like me to generate a generic robot image with “Yes” in the bubble, or do you prefer the prompt-writing approach so you can get something closer to Bender?
Hands are always difficult for artists. It's funny that they are so difficult for AI, as well.
Someone should give Bender the finger. Also, give him a hand.
He'd appreciate both, I'm sure.
I'm headed to a meeting with a federal agency. It has not been cancelled.
There are a variety of groups involved, so the meeting can go on...just perhaps without the people who organized it.
I already paid for my room, though, so we are going to MEET, by God!
That sounds like a terrible time.
Did y'all have the meeting?
You got the stuff?
Yeah, I got the stuff. You got the money?
I'm not showing you the money until I see the stuff.
That sort of meeting :afrog:
I'm so sad that our spam emoji broke :spam:
I used to use it all the time.
Especially when handling reports.
Then again, we really don't have much spam anymore.
Not since CloudFlare was introduced
Pretty wild how effective it seems to be.
Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if spammers figured out a way around it.
Like the bad kid in class: will put in so much work just to not do any schoolwork.
Of course I was that bad kid in class a couple of years/classes.
I'm working on an HTML tutorial.
It's going to be in the same style/format as my VbLessons tutorial in my signature.
Take a wild guess at what it'll be called.
HtmlLessons
Go figure, huh?

It doesn't get into CSS at all.
Basically, I'm teaching people how to build boring documents.
Which is why Tim Berners-Lee originally developed HTML in the first place.
By the way, I consistently wrap abbreviations in the abbr tag.
I think it would've been quicker for me to develop a macro that automatically typed out
Then me manually typing it out every time (or copying/pasting).Code:<abbr title="Hypertext Markup Langauge">HTML</abbr>
Wow. The Post Race has over 70k replies, averaging about 230 a month.
About 10 more years we might hit 100k.
Once those three or four bots get the hang of posting we should see good numbers...
These are bad numbers?
Well, I suppose they aren't the best, but they aren't bad.
The meeting is today. Thus far, it has been quite nice. Too much eating, but good weather and good company.
Yesterday was just driving.
And eating.
We were a bit worried about the weather, considering we were driving in a truck without a shell. Only one person had some luggage that might have been waterproof, and the forecast was for rain. As it turned out, we did get a few drops, but were mostly all in the hotel by the time the rain really got going. The luggage was all in the hotel.
I don't care if my laundry gets washed on the drive home, but I don't really want it getting washed on the way out. Then you have to hang it out to dry everywhere.
Poor man's mocha, today.
Makes me wonder how jmc has racked up over 111,000 posts. That's just one person.
Brilliance never sleeps
Well, he certainly doesn't. I've gotten after him about that in the past when I saw him posting at a time that appeared to be around 2 AM.
He also is good about one point per post, so if he has something to say on two topics, such as a note on how to get a better answer as well as an answer, then he'll separate them into two different posts. This is pretty minor, of course. Compared to the fact that he can answer any question, that is quite small.
He also doesn't waste a whole lot of time in the Post Race.
Chaw, imagine if posts in the chit-chat counted.
