Happy to be moving away from Facebook. A few forums have set up on here recently and it seems a good new home.

Juhu! What an excellent move. For a split second after you announced the Facebook group a while ago I considered resuscitating my facebook account - but only for a split second. But this seems like a good place to interact!

On macOS Safari, and I’m seeing missing image placeholders (blue box with a question mark) for accounts with non-system profile pictures (the colored circle with an initial letter). Except, @MacSparky’s and @RosemaryOrchard’s appear right to me.

Looks like there were some issues with the server. Appears good now!

Great move. Facebook ethics aside, I find a forum the best place for these kinds of discussion - it’s so much easier to find things, follow discussion threads etc.

Sorry about the downtime. You guys overwhelmed the server. I had to throw some money at them and then reboot. Things seem to be working now. :slight_smile:

Just curious - how is this being funded? On Facebook there was no need to worry about server costs so I’m just wondering how this will be sustainable. Did Linode give you a deal through sponsorships? :wink:

Really pleased to have this discussion group - was never a facebook user - but used to get jealous when I heard about the discussions - now I can be part of it. Well done!
