    ps - you couldn't PAY ME to install POSReady... "to each their own"
  3. NotHereToPlayGames
    It's not that simple. Making IE changes directly from the registry via Default or All Users profile hive as opposed to your Current User hive (which POSReady updates will do) is all it takes for the GUI to throw that "managed by your system admin" message. It's much worse in Win7 with the POS (I use this term in a totally different sense!, aka, the 'polite form' is translated as "Piece of Stuff") "TrustedInstaller".

    I pulled the old score sheets and my memory wasn't as good as I thought. My record game is 454, not 504. Not exactly "dyslexic", but anywhoo. And the neighbor also reminded me that my "famous comeback win" when her very last word was a 7-letter word, she wasn't concerned with opening the Triple Word because I had already emptied the upside-down tiles the turn before. She put down her 7-letter word, was up by 54 points, and I only had six tiles so no way for me to put down a 7-letter word.

    We pretty much always break 300 points each every game. Sometimes break 400 points. I hit 504 once and so far that's the only time either of us broke 500 points.

    Me and a neighbor are HUGE into Scrabble! We play equal turns meaning that when all tiles are empty and we empty our tray, if we went FIRST then the other person gets another turn. She put down a 7-letter word for her very last word to take the lead by 54 points and there's no tiles left. She went FIRST so I get one more turn. She even starts "celebrating" and proclaims, "I know it opens up a Triple Word but you can only put two letters there because of surrounding tiles!" I "paralleled" a five-letter word where three of the five letters literally ran parallel with another word. Scored 62 points but still had two one-pointer tiles in my tray. We play where the person that emptied their tray adds the other person's remaining tiles and they also subtract from that person's score. I won by ONE POINT and that last turn took TWENTY MINUTES. I don't give up easily

    Part of the problem here are Cloudflare servers for .css content.
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    The easiest route would be to visit the website via Wayback Machine, save the three .css files locally, then have Proxomitron inject your locally-stored .css instead of the server-served "modern" .css. edit - but it may require "transpiling" the modern .css, save that locally, and inject it via Proxomitron.
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    Proxomitron to the rescue!

    Bingo! I'm just now catching up. Definitely a .css issue. Yahoo websites used to do that all the time. Back then it was a known Firefox FLAW that web designers would utilize ON PURPOSE to force their userbase to use Firefox!
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Does not look like a JavaScript problem. You have one (maybe three, based on error console) .css files not being loaded.

    I site the forum rules and view your mentioning of me directly as your "reason" for editing a post a VIOLATION of this rule. 7.b This community is built upon mutual respect.

    Agreed! I see "consumerism" and "insurance" as very closely related, though not in a way that most people think. For "insurance", HIGH RISK clients pay a HIGHER PREMIUM - as they should! Smokers should pay more than non-smokers. Reckless drivers should pay more than safe drivers. For me, "consumerism" should be no different - the more you CONSUME, the MORE YOU SHOULD PAY. I'm no global economist, but I always felt that we should "tax" CONSUMPTION, *not* INCOME.

    Would seem "low IQ" to protest, in my opinion! I am speaking as a US Citizen - we are spoiled ROTTEN BRATS when it comes to gasoline prices! maybe we SHOULD be taking it on the chin! You have to look at the "whole picture". Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Hong Kong are all well over $10 (US Dollars) per gallon. The US has the HIGHEST AVERAGE ANNUAL WAGE -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_wage So if you ask me, we are NOT paying "our fair share" - because we are spoiled rotten brats that cry the loudest so the "global burden" gets shifted to Canada, Iceland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Brazil, et cetera. The US pays a teeny tiny 1.0% of monthly income on gasoline yet "we" are the ones that cry and whine and start FALSE AND FICTITIOUS "price gouging" PROPAGANDA bullcr#p in the media and by "politicians" in the guise of "buying votes". https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/shopping/cars/604410/gas-prices-around-the-world But I digress...

    Firefox Mozilla has been on a steady decline since v31.7 (May 12, 2015!) from my benchmarks over the years !!! Scores improved with v68 and v78.
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed!

    Because I had already gotten as far as changing my UA in NM to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/101.0.4951.54 Safari/537.36 before we discovered the site is looking for Chrome 80 and non-XP/Vista.

    Thanks. My reply above was alluding to this "combination" but I was reading one post at a time and didn't get this far yet.

    I've seen this at least a dozen times over the last year. Not with that water bill site, per se, but on the modern web in general. I read somewhere that the "future" will not have User Agents, MOST web designers KNOW that a CRAPLOAD of users FAKE their User Agents so MOST web designers DO NOT USE THEM, they use "combinations" of things to TRULY know what browser/platform you are using. I've seen users here at MSFN "fake" a CELL PHONE user agent but then not even bother "faking" their display resolution. Any 5th grader working on a school project can tell you the user agent is FAKED because no cell phone built in the next 10 years has a 4K screen resolution! So it's about a "combination" of detected metrics, not just one simplistic User Agent string that "we" have been FAKING for the last TWENTY PLUS YEARS.

    I keep hoping that "amy" can code a fix into Proxomitron Reborn. Cloudflare has become a nightmare

    Thanks! That did the trick. I was experimenting with NM28 and St52, javascript and e10s and other miscellaneous settings, and holy crap, I kept wanting to smack the side of the computer to dislodge whatever was slowing it down in contrast to performance I've become used to with 360Chrome.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    The uphill battle continues I migrated from NM28 to 360Chrome about a year and a half or so ago - and today, I migrate back to NM28. Here's what I got hit with just this morning (this web site worked last weekend!) -- But perfect timing with NM now natively capable of polyfill --
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Can you explain further? I thought that the latest Serpent 52.9 already included the polyfill coalesc (?) and chaining (?) polyfills? Does this userscript add coalesc (?) and chaining (?) polyfills to NM28? To 360Chrome v11?

    Um, that has kind of ALWAYS been the atmosphere for pretty much ALL "tweaks" for Windows. You've only been here a week or so, but look around at other "tweak" web sites, that's just how this atmosphere works. There has always been a very fine line in the end user wanting their LEGAL copy of Windows to perform the way it SHOULD HAVE BEEN designed and performing "tweaks" that don't adhere 100% to the Windows "license" that most of us never read in the first place.
