Re: Annoying menu movement

Re: How do I fix faulty Avatar?

At last, thank you Karichen.... A few times I got half way there but did not know the final piece in the puzzle was the word 'submit', which I had not seen & had to go looking for it, right down the very bottom of the page.
Many Thanks.

How do I fix faulty Avatar? SOLVED.

It has been there for a few years now, in my Membership file. I have never found out how it happened or how to fix it, but on the odd occasion that I see it, I fiddle for a while, never managing to correct it. Maybe someone can help here...fingers crossed.

Re: AM4 compatibility?

Mr Kadaitcha very observant. I think that was done when I joined, not by me but somehow in there. Anyway, I have now waited approx 10 years for anyone to notice. Shows what happens when one does not log in for a few years. --Well spotted sir.

Mint 19 V2?? SOLVED

Just downloaded Mint 19 & noticed it was marked V2.-- Is there any significance in the V2? - I also noticed it had a different sha256 sum to another version.
