@soalbundy You need to sign in using your email address and password, not your username and password

I have messaged the member regarding their previous email address. Hopefully this is now sorted.

@Skinman The information was posted: As an announcement, coloured red, at the top of every page and in the sidebar, viewable by all members; As a pinned topic in this forum; In email newsletters

The upgrade is from the forum software provider. All forums have to adopt the change. You are correct, AN isn't a huge target, but the some other sites using the same forum software are. The other issue, of course, is that people do tend to reuse passwords. Gain access to an innocuous forum. Find out the email address. Try the same password on the email account. Hijack the email account. Reset other passwords to the email address. On and on.

AN currently has 8 reactions. This is quite a lot compared to other online platforms. Ultimately AN is a discussion forum, not an emoji forum. If there isn't an emoji that expresses your opinion then feel free to type a reply and tell people what your think.

Perhaps you are thinking about fire recall mode, which requires power. If a lift has no power and no brakes then it will tend to overspeed. What most people don't realise is that in the majority of instances the lift would overspeed upwards, and stop at the top of the lift shaft.

Not much. The lift motor loses power, and the lift slows down to a stop. Lifts have elctro-mechanical brakes. This means that electricity is required to release the brake. If power is lost then the brake instantly applies itself mechanically. This very quickly slows the lift to a stop and holds it securely in place.

I've never been stopped

Sorry, it appears that this is a function reserved for staff use.

It is, "Popular Contributors". As mentioned, it is the total reputation score the member received for the period:

Honestly, I think this is a you thing. Perhaps use a password manager? Chrome will offer to remember your passwords if you are signed in.

I still see a link:

@BillStrangeOgre The three horizontal lines look like this: Unfortunately I can't explain where your posts can be viewed as I can't view your device. However, I can see your posts here: https://aseannow.com/profile/92207-billstrangeogre/content/

@Mutt Daeng If you dig into your browser settings you may find a whitelist option. Using it is optional. You can disable third party cookies but then add a site to the whitelist. Doing this will allow third party cookies from the specified site(s), but will disallow all other third party cookies. Using this option takes a little effort, but it allows you to dictate which third party cookies you allow rather than allowing all third party cookies. I don't like adverts and tracking either, so for me it's a balancing act between being private and being frustrated.

Do you have third party cookies disabled? If you do then Cloudflare will not be able to recognise your repeated actions (such as viewing a new page or trying to post). This is because when you successfully pass Cloudflare security it adds a third party cookie to your device which enables you to bypass any future challenges (normally for 24 hours). Instead Cloudflare will see you as a new (untrusted) visitor and challenge you. Every single time. Just a thought.
