i note Micro$oft Edge is busy updating
very annoying as i rarely use it , AND i didn't ask it to update ( but it is anyway ) ( and i am using two different browsers to do my normal stuff )
so check if Edge decided to update itself ( when you would rather it hadn't )
( and YES .. automatic updates are turned OFF )
Divs was just saying that users with issues with ASF might be getting behind the scene updates and installation conflicts from edge, not impossibleI'm sure Joe will be able to fix this for you Divs.

LOL
unfortunately Joe won't be able to change the culture at Micro$oft
my better option is to abandon Micro$oft
i use Edge as a last resort ( and for testing ) the issue is all at Micro$oft which decides to update certain things seemingly at whim despite automatic updates disabled ,Use Firefox browser is my suggestion.
As for ASF being slow tonight, it was likely some kind of random bot attack. They happen from time to time for reasons unknown. Either that or aliens. It could always be aliens.
Thanks @Dona Ferentes I am sure @Joe Blow can sort that out. The imposter has no capital and no space in between. Likely someone could register as donaferentes (no capitals, no space) which the system would accept same as my "shadow". Could become confusing.
if having imposter issues watch out for relatively close avatars as well say a square avatar where the long-term member has a round one ( but the same picture )Interesting one @Joe Blow The system cannot be expected to see the difference with no space or capitals. I wonder if there are any others.
Too many lads from the country on ASF?Interesting one @Joe Blow The system cannot be expected to see the difference with no space or capitals. I wonder if there are any others.
yep .. low profile has it's advantagesImposters usually only do their thing with important people like @Country Lad .
Most of us should have no issues.

I continuously worry that someone will impersonate me by using an approximate name and make some outrageous post.Yes, it's possible to have variations of the same name. You can have a space between words, or no space. It's also possible to have a variation like "Country Lad1" with numbers added.
In this case I don't believe there is any confusion. The other "countrylad" has six posts and a default avatar, while your avatar is very distinctive. It is clear who is who and this is my litmus test for confusion. If there is any confusion about who is who then changes need to be made.
Australia is a a big country so it's hardly surprising that ASF has more than one country lad. We may get even more at some point.

he's touched, or, as qldfrog would say, touchéWe may get several country lads but something tells me that we are unlikely to get another Garpal Gumnut.
It's end of April as I trying to catch up my reading.Good morning everyone.
I am trying to diagnose a Chrome-related ASF login issue that a forum user is experiencing.
When the user tries to log into ASF using Chrome browser on a laptop running Windows 10 Professional, an error message is received that says:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access this resource
Is anyone out there experiencing a similar issue while attempting to log in to ASF?
If you are, please let me know in this thread.
Thank you.
easy fix !! ... put bottom dwellers at top and relegate top performers to basement.Monthly competition page is currently down. I tried to change something but messed it up and now I can't figure out how to fix it.
It may be down for some time now. Apologies for the inconvenience.
I will post an update when it's fixed.
