They needed this user script: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/page/203/#findComment-1258499 but until yesterday they worked just fine with it. Maybe there is another (new) userscript needed. Will try supermium.

It seems that - starting today - Discourse based forums are not anymore accessible (with Palemoon/Newmoon 27.9.6). Is there a (new) version (of NewMoon/Serpent/whatever) that still works (running on XP 32 bit)?

You seem like assigning a value to the DRIVE variable, but later you use the USBDRIVE one. Also, you have bo provision should the file/folder be not found (empty variable). Besides that, depending on the OS and machine, the "IF EXIST" may be not the right way, see starting from here:

Let's first thing remove some basic conceptual errors. 1. there is no such thing as relative physical sector, a physical sector is always absolute, its LBA is the number of sectors before it from the start of the disk, there is very little so absolute as the first sector of a disk. 2. a logical volume inside extended partition is in NO way different from a primary volume (ONLY the way it is addressed, in the chain of EMBR's (sometimes called EPBR's) vs. directly in the MBR is different, which implies that the Sectors Before in the VBR are relative to the EMBR and not to the MBR, but it can be corrected and have a logical volume be bootable), see the usual: https://www.goodells.net/multiboot/index.shtml (i.e. transforming a relative address to its absolute one) 3. alignment: there are only two main types of alignment (in MS world, Linux - generally speaking - does *whatever*), the 63 (actually last sector of cylinder/head, so if the device has CHS of X/Y/63 it is 63, if the device is X/Y/32 it is 32, etc.) and the Megabyte one, which is a (wrong) implementation of the actual new approach (offset being a multiple of sector size, page size and cluster of the filesystem) to all practical effects this could have been done on 128 sectors or less (128 sectors is multiple of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 sectors) , for whatever reason Microsoft decided that 1 MiB 1024*1024=1048576 bytes was a "better" multiple, this creates the now common initial CHS of the first partition of 0/33/32 or LBA 2048. 4. the gap between partitions. Most if not all partitioning programs leave no gap between partitions, which if you think about it is automatic, the first partition needs a gap to be aligned to the desired standard, then it is created with a size aligned to the same standard, so next partition will necessarily be aligned, and so on. The EMBR chain, of course creates before each logical volume a gap, the same size of the first one. Until you will have fully and completely learned and understood the information on the given goodells.net page you will only get confused, everyone uses a slightly different terminology to call the same things and some concepts need to be digested. jaclaz

It all revolves around the same project by ChrisR, Win10pese that evolved into Win10xpe, now on github: https://github.com/ChrisRfr/Win10XPE

I thought that was SPECTRE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECTRE "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion" jaclaz

What we, highly specialized technicians, call "sweeping the dirt under the rug".

Only for the record, it wasn't stolen, and it doesn't mean letter. Telegramma means telegramma, NOT lettera. Telegram is an English word alright, and means, like in Italian, a message (a letter if you like, but usually telegrams were way shorter than a letter or would have costed an arm and a leg) sent through the telegraph: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/telegram#English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegraphy#Telegram_services of course the root is the same of telegraph, from Greek tele (distant) and graph-ma (letter/written message from graphein to write). Telegraph is the method technology, telegram is the message delivered through that technology. Of course the English don't use it, replacing it with wire or cable. Curiously enough, the Russian word for it - besides cyrillic transliteration - is телеграмма more similar to the Italian, or to the French télégramme.

For a francophone, you have a good example in Maurice Leblanc re-known character: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsène_Lupin Arsenio in italian.

Maybe it depends on transliteration, I can find quite a few people with that name on wikipedia, so probably not that much rare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arseny It derives from Arsenius (Latin, arsenikos in Greek): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenius that actually derives from arsenikos, which is the same root from which the chemical element and the poison are commonly named but that means mainly "male" or "virile": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic#History and the whole stuff comes from Persia via Syria ...

When I posted here, I could not find a way to send the message, so I posted its contents, later, after having pruned the second instance of the 4.3 word, it was finally accepted. So the user will likely reply, the risk is that he will accidentally use the by now famous 4.3 word and get a 403 forbidden when replying. Since Karla posted here, this thread is visible to all members and they can post on it (i.e. it is not read-only). jaclaz

I received a PM by a fellow member and - for whatever reason - I cannot reply to it, nor I can start a new conversation/ send a new message. In both cases I got code 403 forbidden. In the remote case the user (Bacho) happens to read this (there is nothing personal in the message, he was asking about an issue he has with booting an XP installation booting only from a USB stick and failing when the USB stick is removed), the reply would have been: After the usual zillion tests, it is not the known BOOT.INI issue alone, it is the link to the other thread in the form of a preview that triggers the behaviour, the text only link allows it BUT this worked on this post (the 4.3 word is present alright), but not on the PM, where I had to remove all occurrences . jaclaz

Well, even if your program is nice and all, it will take time to get it known. You could try submitting a link to it at tinyapps: https://tinyapps.org/faq.html your thingy seems like just the right kind of tool for there. jaclaz
