Re: Today in 1934: ‘It Happened One Night’ arrives in theaters.

This was the movie that really turned me into a fan of the old classics. I'd already watched and enjoyed a few here and there, but this was how my obsession started. It still holds up so well.

Re: THANKS, LOMM!

I have now used the "like" button for the first time. :lol: Thanks for the appreciation. As to locking that topic, it was only because it had run its course, nobody was arguing (yet).

Re: Like Button

That's great however I don't have the Like icon on my posts in the right corner. There are 4 icons but no thumbs up. I did get a pm saying you liked 2 of my posts and then 2 pms saying they were removed. This is correct, you won't see the button on your own posts. The reason you got the PMs is beca...

Like Button

There is now a "Like" button on the forum. It's not the one I was going to add, because that one is now abandoned (risking no updates or breaking the forum if we update to a new version and it's not compatible). HOWEVER...it is a working "Like" button. You can see the thumb on th...

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

Skeptical or no, this thread has run its course and devolved into bickering as well. I will implement a like button, as I’ve said many times before. I’m sure you can understand that my weekend does not revolve around the SSO, and I’ll squeeze it in when I can. Believe it… or not. Hope that helps. Th...

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

EP is right...I DON'T want to do it. However, that has no bearing on the fact that I AM GOING TO DO IT. :lol: My weekends are busy right now. That is the ONLY time I have to spend working on this site. When I have some free time, you will find a like button here on SSO, just as I said I would do. Ha...

For DVD I use Handbrake. Nothing beats it.

Re: DVD Conversion Software-what do you use?

I rip the discs, add them to my home server so we can stream them anywhere we want, then put the disc back in the box in a closet, never to see the light of day again...unless something happens where I have to rip it again. :)

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

I am curious. This forum doesn't have ads. My home PC has ad blocking but my mobile devices don't. How does this forum keep running? This forum keeps running because the owner of the site keeps paying out of her own pocket! :) It's not terribly expensive to own a domain, and this one is relatively ...

Re: Roman Holiday

This was my introduction to Audrey Hepburn and I instantly fell in love with her. Immediately put all the rest of her available movies in my Netflix DVD queue (this was some time ago as you can see lol). I now have almost all of her major performances and adore most of them. https://i.imgur.com/J94g...

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

That is correct. I need some time on a weekend to sit down and set it all up. My issue is that I'm seldom online much at all on the weekends lol. Rest assured that it will happen, eventually. During the week I'm not using my home PC to access the forum often, and I can't do it from a tablet or my wo...

Re: Our New Moderator

Well, I’m not so sure about that. Since when did these people ever give anybody a helping hand? We all need someone we can bleed on? Am I right? Or am I way off base again? Off topic again? Lomm is the tech?? But he has a say in the threads? I’ll leave it to Millstone to figure out. I’m drunk and I...
