I did some more investigation and found that it's the LastPass Chrome Extension that's breaking it. Hopefully they'll fix it soon, because I kinda need that one. https://community.logmein.com/t5/LastPa ... m-p/291536
Really? That seems odd, but I'm definitely not getting rid of LastPass.

Are we good on funds?
I might need to pass the hat in late 2023, pending on whether or not the last increase was a one-time bump our not. But, we're more than good for a while unless something unforeseen happens.

Board looks drunk, by the way. So... apt.

Things you learn when you switch browsers....the Swamp 404s when by default the browser goes to https:// ....which can be confusing when not paying attention.

Backing up the DB is taking longer than I thought. I'll do the update later today when it's done. I'll update our extensions as well, including the media extension.

Just switch "x" to "twitter."

I bet that it's the site itself that won't let you because when I copy the link to share, it still says "twitter."

Exactly. I'm more than a little surprised that they haven't fixed that since it's been x.com for quite a while now. Just goes to show that phpbb ain't exactly the most popular of boards these days.
