Yup, Verizon does nothing but lie, cheat, and steal.  I've been with them for many years and was so glad to find the Moxee. I can on my terms, which I prefer. I am currently looking to upgrade my device, just to see if there's something better that I might like...AFTER doing some research first.

But I am happy with it and it suits my purposes.

I had not noticed that no. What do you mean the alerts you get for replying to a topic ?

Got it, thanks, lol.

Well here is the Current status of My New  Fiber Provider's
suppose to be installed March 6th.
 Ain't Gonna Happen .
 Turns out and I KNEW IT Dammit would be this way .
  Suppose to Get Free Modem, Free Install ,Guaranteed 200MBPS or more 5G unlimited Connect Speed , BLAH,BLAH,BLAH, BLAH No Fee if I decide to cancel at ANY TIME,100 Dollar Credit Card within 90 Days if I keep service. 29.95 per month TOTAL COSTas long as I keep service.
 ( FOUND OUT FROM NEIGHBOR DOWN THE ROAD  it would increase to 69.95  in 60 days )
On or about March 1st they contacted me and said their Monkee would be out next day to install . I said it was scheduled on the 6th . They said needed to be the 2nd. Me being the Trusting Soul I am ; then  asked them to go over just WTF they were going to do and what Charges . Turns out QUITE A DIFFERENT STORY and PRICE because they did not install within a certain Time Period . I told them THEY SET THE DAMN INSTALL TIME and I had PAID UP FRONT and asked them to send me in writing or by e-mail the current offer and or charges which the zibberish speaking girl as I understood it said she could not to which I suggested a spot on her Body Cavity that has Very Little or No LUMINESCENCE to insert their offer.
  I did spend several hours at Wally World talking to a Young English Understandable Lady about their alternative internet and phones however after all the talk and BS she was not even with Wal Mart but Wal Mart had allowed her to set up shop there under another internet/phone company that did NOT even SERVICE MY AREA YET ....... The people in Charge of the MOXEE service were not in that Day .
 Still with FUR RIZIN for Now at the Blazing Speed currently of 53.27 a increase of 19.45 from when I started this thread and after my Lecture of common and uncommon Curse Words I gave them a few weeks ago . BTW Moxee uses Straight Talk in my area for their service and just found out FUR RIZIN NOW OWNS STRAIGHT TALK. I just can't seem to WIN .
I did get a Refund from the Fiber company after a Short Verbal Battle and them offering various NEW Plans and the the first 3 months would be free  that were probably a Bold ARSE LIE  as well so that's just PEACHY KEEN.

My custom forms mod leverages that task to ping the json file on my site to check for updates. I haven't seen any other mods do that...

Has anyone noticed the system alerts thingy from this site vanish too quickly? I turn my head to read it and poof, gone.

I usually use MDN. It basically became a one stop docs site for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I once found a typo and submitted a pull request to their github repository; once they merged it, my fix was automatically deployed.

The admin panel notification shows up after the weekly maint runs, specifically, the Fetch SimpleMachines Files.  Those files include all the announcements & current versions.

It would have popped upon its own.

You can force it by selecting Fetch SMF Files & pressing Run Now over on Scheduled Tasks.

However, I did disable Secure Boot about 2 months ago because I was trying to dual boot Linux Mint from a portable ssd. It worked but wouldn't save any changes I would make. Then, the Holidays came and I've been a bit busy ever since and haven't tried it again...but will eventually.
