    Ewoks aren't cannibals if they eat humans... it's a different species. :-B

    I have to ask...when you dance with an Ewok, who leads? :p

    You can dance with an Ewok
    You can leave your troops behind
    'Cause your troops don't dance
    And if they don't dance
    Well, they're fodder for mine

    "Details Here" for the forums... with a large "F"... seems right to me.

    But seriously, how do I fix this? It's only happening on Firefox, and not always consistently. Clearing cookies and cache has not helped.

    If it's still happening and only on Firefox you can try the following:
    If you aren't on the latest release try updating to it.
    If the above doesn't work or isn't applicable, try disabling any addons/extensions one at a time to see if that makes a difference. If it does, you've found the culprit. If there's an option to whitelist a site, add boards.theforce.net and re-enable the addon to see if that's fixed the problem.

    I'm on the latest Firefox version and haven't had the problem yet. Addons I have are Ad Block Plus, Disable Autoplay, and I Don't Care About Cookies.

    No luck after disabling all my extensions. The only one that would potentially affect it is Ublock, but I've had that for years with no issue, and I have it on Chrome where I'm posting from now yet no issue here.

    Lame question alert (and lament): My 11 year old Kindle died. I used to read PDF or Mobi files on it (stories:cool:) but especially rtf's, and it seems likely I can use my Android 4G phone for reading, but what is the procedure? Send stuff from Amazon to my phone #? Some intermediary app thingy? I'm taking a long bus trip soon.[face_hypnotized] Thanks for any info.

    There is a Kindle app for Android that you can use. :)

    Thanks. I'll play with it. It'll likely do books and I hope it does docs as well. :)

    iPhones can inherently read .pdfs and .rtfs. in their documents app, so I imagine androids have something similar.

    But yes, pretty much anything you can read on a Kindle you can read on the Kindle apps.
    This didn't work, but I might have found my own workaround by deleting individual history items (I had a lot for this domain). Fingers crossed but the issue has been gone since I did that.

    The Kindle app works well, thanks to everyone for the information. I'm back in the market for a Kindle, though, because 50 percent of the time I read outdoors, which means too much glare on the phone to make out the words. I'll likely wait for Black Friday.

    I bought a Kindle Paperwhite back in 2018 and I've had good luck with it. However if you read a lot of digital magazines or comics you might want something like a Fire tablet as they are color.

    Lamest question ever department: upon visiting TFN this morning, surprisingly the borders are each black and 1.5 inches wide and the print is tiny. I cleared the cache, signed out and signed in again and it's still like this in Chrome, latest version; I've not tried Edge. Without needing to use + each time, how can I fix this to my normal viewing mode? No other site such as Gmail, tumblr, twitter, LiveJournal or Dreamwidth displayed any changes this morning. :(
