No clue why (and to be honest, not even interested in knowing why), but it seems to work,

It is a shame that such notorious board is neglected like that.

Even as a mod I have lost access to most mod functions.

This is typical offtopcthority

Nice pics indeed.
[Hi µ]

Best vintage keyboard? I would opt for a Cherry keyboard with a model number starting with G80
You'll never have to fix anything yourself.

You can now edit your first post (locking new users' first posts is a precautionary antispam measure).

Except, of course, for the built-in "broken rivets" issue

Sorry, that mod function is (also) broken, I would suggest you open a new thread there (and perhaps link to here).

Really nice stuff, and well presented.

I was trying to answer idollar via PM regarding an FEXT PCB the last couple of days but DT always gives me "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource." when I try to send a PM. I tried it with different browsers on different devices and networks. Does anyone else have this ...

PMs remain in the sender's outbox until they are retrieved by the recipient.

Still looking for a Portuguese «» keycap (Cherry MX mount), now lasered would also be OK.

Why does it say "added spam link removed by mod, user banned" up there? I didn't put in a link there in my original post? […]


The poster quoted you, but edited the quote by adding a spam link to lure readers as if it were your link..
So the mod removed the spam link and banned the spammer.

Whoever that was, thanks

Under ‚Private Messages‘, all old PM are under ‚Sent messages‘ whereas newer ones are under ‚Outbox‘. Do they not even get sent any more?


This is normal.
When you send a PM, it is first stored in "Outbox" until the recipient (who receives a notification) fetches it, and is then automatically ...

Same here, but removing the "s" from "https" in the URL opens the wiki for me.
