      Let me guess, Donkey Kong?

  11. ⚠️ Running into more issues with the template not getting along with the recent site update. I know some of you have been experiencing trouble accessing the site. This is not a security issue. It's a conflict between the existing template and the updated software. I am taking out a ticket to get this resolved. The site isn't going anywhere ☺️

      I keep getting "template out of date" errors.  Mostly when attempting to view the YouTube section and trying to start a new topic in there since my old channel no longer exists.

      I copied the error message I keep getting.

      "[[Template core/front/global/globalTemplate is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]"

      I get that, too. Just keep refreshing the browser, and it should go through eventually.

  12. ⚠️ Site update is giving us a bumpy ride. Having theme issues. Temporarily disabling the chat until this is resolved.

      Looking good, Justin.

      One small thing:  The "edit" and "delete" options on forum posts are gone. 

      Thank you for all you do.

    3. HDN

      HDN

      Yes, and that has been tripping me up a little bit! But there are now some dots at the top of the screen you can click to edit and delete, so no biggie.

      A small price to pay for the sleek new design. Thanks, Justin!

    4. RickR

      RickR

      Aha!  There they are.  Thanks, @HDN

      I don't mind a few bites of pizza with pineapple and ham, but I don't think I could eat a full slice of it. It's good, but not that good in my opinion 🤓

      I'm a huge fan of pineapple on pizza.

      I won't eat pizza any other way.  Pepperoni and Pineapple on mine any day.  They really go great together.  Domino's Hawaiian Pizza?  The bomb.

  16.  Highly Recommended: ProtonMail. Free encrypted email w/ Swiss privacy, end-to-end encryption, open source and anonymous. I absolutely love this, thought I'd share. https://protonmail.com

      Great idea. Thanks. :O)

      You're welcome @DegasElite! It's something I really love that I wanted to share with friends in the forums who might be a little more security or encryption-minded. It's exciting to find something that offers a free "Base" tier and have it be truly useful. I've been using ProtonMail for the past few years and have been very happy with it. I've used it for banking, etc. (This isn't a paid promotion of course, but it was something I wanted to share here!)

  17. 😎 AIR ZONK Squad Challenge is now LIVE! 

     

  18. 🍄 Your Atari I/O Profile now lets you share your Nintendo Friend Code, PlayStation Network ID & Xbox Live Id! Add them to your Atari I/O Profile under the "Reach Out" tab on the left. Find your friends from the forums and game with them online!

      The who and the what now?

      I can come over after school with a few Atari carts that I'll hide in my backpack. 

    2. Justin

      That's the way we do it! Nintendo Switch is a fun way to be able to play 2-player 8-bit games online.

    3. RickR

      RickR

      OK, but I want to buy a Jaguar before I buy a Switch!  But probably the Switch is cheaper and easier to find. 

       

  19. 🍳 Scrambled eggs all over my face, what IS a boy to do 

     

  20. 😎 Our TurboGrafx-16 Squad Challenge begins next week! Get those TG systems ready & emulators running! We’ll be playing an incredible HuCard game.

  22. 🧠 PRO-TIP: 2-Player Battles are a fun way for you and a friend to start your own Squad Challenge! 

     

    1. RickR

      RickR

      There's a constant 2-way battle going on in my mind.  There are no winners. 

       

  23. ⏲️ Attack of the Timelord!, our very first Odyssey 2 High Score Squad Challenge is up! Enjoy!

      Playing SQ Fireworld would just make me cold and angry.  No, no, no.
