    Avatars are for kids and my userstyle sheets block them without prejudice.

    A s s . . . I'm moving on, your arrogance does not equate to confidence, it's just arrogance, "nothing more, nothing less". But yeah, IN CLOSING, "you win", you have isolated something that affects YOU and ONLY you. Congratulations. Here's your trophy.

    I don't think you understood me. I was not claiming it was Android-related. It's all tied to logged in or not FOR YOU and whether you (and you alone) see yourself listed in Recently Browsing but ONLY in the browser/device that you are logged into MSFN. The REST OF US (whether logged in or not) DO NOT see you listed in Recently Browsing.
  5. NotHereToPlayGames
    Perhaps it is only showing you TO YOU. What happens if you log in on one machine, but then browse on ANOTHER DEVICE (ie, your beloved Android) but DO NOT LOG IN ??? My guess (strictly just a guess) is that your Androind (not logged in) will NOT reveal "to you yourself" that you are logged in and on MSFN *on a different device*.
  6. NotHereToPlayGames
    Strictly my opinion, but I kind of *fail* to understand why "upgrade path" is even a topic of discussion. To ME, if "upgrade path" is that vital here at MSFN, then any-and-all XP users that are running POSReady2009 would be *banned* for publicly admitting violation of terms on their XP. Sorry, it really all boils down to that as far as *I* am concerned.

    Well, there "is" political meaning behind it whether intended or not, lol. I see "both sides" of that unintended political meaning. Very strange job market, kind of a "once in a lifetime" type of job market. But definitely depends on your locale and type of career.
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    Actually, I had to look it up. I don't watch "cartoons" (ie, "animated tv series") so your reference was completely foreign. Just seemed "best" to comment on that aspect of your post as opposed to the political nature of the "no job crisis" comment.

    I wondered why it said "we", lol Congrats on finding a fix! I honestly was trying to find a hosts-file-only type of fix, but every time I fire up a UXP browser these days has me wanting to pinch my nipples with battery cables. Much LESS pain than the "experience" UXP provides. I really don't know how you guys (without Android backups) "survive" in this day and age.

    Browsing without uBO: sitting in a damp medieval dungeon no food or drink for three days ankles chained to the legs of the chair wrists duct-taped to the arms of the chair battery cables attached to my nipples, 100-volt electroshocks overy 10 seconds Browsing with uBO: sitting in a hammock at the beach on a cool evening with a slight breeze while enjoying the sunset
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    On second thought... We will always have "naysayers" that will NEVER use uBO. They will *always* run their browser their way, without uBO, no matter how often we suggest to them that they need to "let go" of the old-school thinking. No skin off our backs, it is their computer, let them "suffer" by sticking to their not wanting to use uBO, be it modified or as-is, old or new.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    I guess I agree and disagree both at the same time. I use uBO. Can't live without it! And that goes for XP or 10 or anything in between. And that goes for slow-as-sh#t UXP to fast-as-H#ll way better options available to those that "let go" of XP. BUT... I *hate* uBO in its current evolution. I prefer the older versions. But I *hate* them also. I **LOVE** the MODIFIED version that I can not live without. I see the side of anybody that doesn't want to use the current evolution !!! And I don't expect them to be able to MODIFY it into something that the DO like. We can't "force" them to use it if they have their own reasons, legit or not, to NOT use it. BUT... If they could at least tell us WHY, maybe we could "teach them" how to modify what they don't like 'out of it' and create something that they DO like.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    "Good luck with that."
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    And you don't need something "heavy" like uBO to block. Just a lightweight custom userstyle does the trick.

    1) posting on MSFN today is an outright NIGHTMARE 2) I spoke too soon, I logged back in and NOW (but not earlier) there is an EHARMONY ad at the very top and a banner on the right that rotates between a few different ads. 3) but even if I could paste a screencap, I kinda CAN'T because the eHarmony ad reveals my city (I wouldn't say I "hide", per se, but I prefer to limit my location to "midwest USA", not to my CITY).
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    Yes. New Moon. XP x86 VM (being a VM should *make no difference* in this discussion). I can no longer "paste" screencaps into the post editor (this has been mentioned in other threads, directed at @xp... @trip... @dave-h).
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    His screencap of it working is in 64bit XP. Your screencap of it failing is in 32bit XP (I think).
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    I created a new Yahoo account (via a throwaway Gmail account and not via a phone number). Without any extensions whatsoever, I'm not seeing any ads. None. Can you screencap the ads on your end? Why would you have ads but none for me with ZERO extensions installed?
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Nothing is "unblockable". Just need to use more creative methods. I would love to assist further, but my three "throwaway" Yahoo accounts no longer allow me to log in and trying to create a new Yahoo account is asking for a phone number (which I will not provide).
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Define "properly"? XP (ie, most of you) has different "smooth edges" font settings and not all of you are using the same OS SETTINGS. Are you smoothing the edges of fonts? If so, are you using Standard or ClearType? Even if the browser is denied that "Bitter" font, it still has to fall back to something, and if that font isn't even installed, then it falls back to something else entirely. Then there is also GDI versus DirectWrite. There are a lot of factors at play here.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed !!! I'm only pointing out that the "discussion" here probably should be about "tuning" cleartype font rendering on the machines that display such UGLY A$$ fonts. Mypal isn't really doing the font rendering, the OS is, and how that OS is "tuned" will have a HUGE difference in what fonts "look like".
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    These types of "issues" can **ALWAYS** be fixed by the end user !!! Just replace the "Bitter" font defined by that page's CSS to a different font, whoala, problem solved. ie, the below is from that page, just replace Bitter with the font of your liking. body, .small-title, .widget-title, .tv-featured-title { font-family: Bitter;
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Serious question - are SUBPIXEL RENDERINGS "captured" differently via bmp, jpg, png? And are SUBPIXEL RENDERINGS screencaps rendered differently from one computer to the next? ALL of the font ugliness in this discussion all seems tied to SUBPIXEL RENDERINGS and "antialias fonts". Edit: every OS and every graphics card and every driver for that graphics card will effect the rendering differently. So maybe, just maybe, this isn't really a Mypal discussion but a graphics card and/or driver problem. I know some people go through GREAT LENGTHS to find "exact" drivers for SUBPIXEL FONT problems. The way that Mypal uses DIRECTWRITE or GDI in XP will vary greatly from one XP setup to the next. Not all XP machines will render them the same.
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    Zero problems here. "Bias" against me aside. @genieautravail's is definitely the UGLIEST. But then @AstroSkipper's. And @Skorpios's being the least ugliest. Okay, those two are close enough to be a tie. But here on Win7 strictly for testing, all three are UGLY. This thread and Mypal is NOT strictly for XP. But no, even the author's Github cites "Win10 never checked, its specific bugs wont fix.", so I did test in Win7. Sometimes I forget how 80% of MSFN is all XP users and the rest of us aren't really supposed to be here. So carry on, I simply thought screencapping could be PART OF the problem.
