Update. Was able to register with gmail account. Confirmation email goes to spam folder as mentioned earlier. New users should be made aware of this otherwise they will just give it up for a bad job.

I can confirm that I do receive notifications for new private messages (inbox) from the forum to my gmail account. Listed in gmail's spam folder. Get nothing when trying to register as new user though.

When I tried to register with the gmail account the registration process didn't seem to finish at all nevermind anything about a confirmation message. Does the registration finish by confirming that a confirmation message is being sent (which is normally the case)? If so, my registration process did...

I registered with a gmail account in 2011. Tried again to register with a new gmail account, no go. Now I wonder how many new users we are losing who can't register with a gmail account? Seeing that gmail must be the most popular, it must be plenty. BTW - I've registered with a few other forums late...

So what's Flash's viewpoint on this? We are just talking and nothing seems to happen. What exactly are we waiting for? We can't wait for Murga. Simple really. It has nothing to do with the moderators. If you want to move, then move. If you want to stay, then stay. But apart from John Murga himself ...

Look, I'm willing to start to post on the new forum only but it won't serve any purpose if most posters/all posters do not follow. I don't think it's necessary to get all the post contents over to the new forum, a selected few stickies is what I would suggest. Start anew. The old site can always sti...

I don't have this delay with Xenial 32 and older Puppys. All newer kernels after that of Xenial does this prolonged delay on my laptop. If I remember correctly (I don't use it anymore) the real-time kernels are even worse in this regard. I have an old HP laptop from 2007. PS: To test, I made a kerne...

Hi, peebee. Is this "big" delay at bootup (just before desktop is loaded) a common thing with the new kernels? I've noticed this from the release of Bionic and also newer kernels after that. Quite annoying and irritating.

Some feedback. I've continued the baking soda treatment of dissolving two teaspoons (rounded but not heaped up) of baking soda in a two litre container of water, drinking one glass every night just before going to bed. It's been over a year now and no attacks at all, no swellings or other signs of i...

Can the contents on this server (the puppy forum) be backed up and stored somewhere else and/or carried over (with permission) to a new forum like rockedge's?

You will have much better results using torrent sites (although this has also gone downhill lately). I wouldn't bother with emule, the glory days of peer to peer sharing are long gone. Users make use of usenet groups, etc. these days for sharing and downloading. Is there something specific you are l...

A note - If you use an old Puppy like Racy some applications of this new suite may not work properly because of an older bash executable. If this is the case, you can replace the bash executable in /bin with a newer version from a more recent Puppy. I replaced that of Racy with that of Precise 5.7.1.
