There's that, as well. That'll enable notifications. If you hadn't had that ticked, you can do the full reply and, under attachments and options, tick the box to turn on notifications for this *specific* thread.

And, I have a sleeping baby. We had a great early dinner with just EH, my daughter, the baby, and myself. Then I purloined the baby! She's sleeping. This baby sleeps too much, and too well. She's got wigglin' figured out. She wiggles and flails about like a pro. Even when she's sleepin', she's got her legs moving sometimes.

Also, say you want to get notifications for EVERY new topic in General Discussion. This image will show you how to do that.
http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1568145229.png
That's in General Discussion (as you can see from the text on the left). That same option is available for every board, and sub-board.
In fact, if you were going to enable such, I'd suggest you do so for the hidden admin board that only you and I can see. Then, should I make a post in there you will automatically get a notification. I should also click that button, and indeed I shall go do so right this minute.
(Yup, I still have no baby)
Also, there are now *three* replies.

@COF
Root around in profile, under Modify Profile, and you'll find tons of options.
If required, I can probably write up some sort of FAQ, but I'm not sure I want to devote time to that. That's a block of time that I don't have. Just poke around in your profile and there's a lot of choices.
Also, note that there are two replies to this, So, scroll up and you'll see my other reply.
If it doesn't inline the image, see here:

VIR = Virginia International Raceway.
Quick reply may require enabling it in your profile settings, but it's at the bottom of every thread (assuming it's enabled). It lets you reply without going to a new page first, thus a quick reply. It also doesn't list the full bevy of bbcode/markdown options.
Everyone can set various notifications.
At the top of your page, there's a link for new comments or new threads. That's handy.
https://fngt.gq/unreadreplies/
https://fngt.gq/unread/
In your profile, or under "attachments and other options" for each reply, you can enable automatic notifications of new replies. On top of that, you can subscribe. Say in "General Discussion" you want notifications of all new threads in that board, just click the "notify" up near the top, listed above the different topics submitted. You may need to mouse-over it, to read the text, depending on the theme you're using.
You can adjust some settings here:
https://fngt.gq/profile/?area=notification (I think that'll work for you. Profile > Notifications is where it should take you.)
I still have no baby. My daughter is running late.

Well, that appears to work. If I knew my FTP password, I'd go fix the content blocked thing. It's loading http instead of https. I found it!
I suppose I can find said password, but I don't see me doing that today.

@crazy_eyes
Why are you editing posts instead of responding to them?
LOL You left your questions as edits to mine and COF's post. (I just noticed it in the moderation logs.)

What type of museum are you considering? Art, music, science, history?
There's a naval museum not far away, so that's a probable destination for tomorrow. I'll probably also take the baby toy shopping, but that needn't be in the same day. I don't have to be back in Maine for almost two weeks, so we've got a little bit of time to play with. I'm not going to VIR until later this week.
I also just enabled FNGT to show 'insecure' content and, amazingly enough, the quote and quick reply are now working properly again!
I'm willing to bet there's an "http" instead of an "https" somewhere in there. I don't see me downloading and fixing it, but you never know. 'Snot like I've got tons of things to do that preclude that. It just requires sufficient motivation and a whole lot of searching/time.
And, I shall let EH know - but I'm guessing she already knows. She's all the way across the room, engrossed in some movie or television show. We don't actually get television where I live, so it's abnormal to be able to just use a remote and watch regular television.
Oh, wait... She says she's channel surfing and not watching anything.

I also have a bowl of fruit. They 'membered from last time that I want a bowl of fruit every day.
Also, when I look out the window, I am looking down on the pedestrians!
We ordered lunch. I followed EH's lead and we ordered 'comfort foods'. I ordered grilled ham and cheese, tomato soup with saltines, potato wedges, and a side salad.
None of those are on the menu, but they'll make 'em. My cheese better be provolone!
Yup, peak luxury and we ordered comfort foods. She ordered a burger and stuff.
Be safe up on that ladder. You don't want to fall and smash a femur, trust me.
Around 15:00, I'll be gone for a couple of hours and then I will be back (as time allows). I'm going to give my daughter a break and babysit for the night. I think tomorrow I'll take her out to a museum and regale her with stories of my misspent youth, even though she won't understand.

I am not experiencing the error, so far today.
If you get the error, please do let me know some details such as time and error message.
I suspect it wasn't us, but a DB connection issue with the hosting company. That's not entirely unexpected and hosts have downtime. This company is exceptionally good and we have very little downtime.
This won't catch downtime for the DB connection, but is pretty accurate regarding the http server.

I should probably, someday, work on figuring out how to make the images all the same dimensions.
To save space and speed, I just plug my phone in and browse it as an MPT. I open it with my handy dandy gpicview on my laptop and grab a 'selection' with Shutter.
This is actually pretty speedy and it leaves me with the higher resolution files for posterity (or, more probable, eventual deletion when I've become frustrated with the quantity of pictures on there). This is all well and good, but they end up with rather varied dimensions.
I am not OCD, or anything. I just figure someone else probably is and eventually they're gonna be like, "Why the fuck can't you be consistent!?!"

Yesterday, I showed off my "luxurious" travel. I did, too. I contacted both @Nadeshda and @crazy_eyes off site and said that I was on here showing off.
In my defense, it was a successful gambit! Both of 'em came over and said hello.
This morning, we acquired a car (specifically a loaner from a nearby dealership) and ate a delicious, hearty breakfast. We had our breakfast delivered right to this hotel room.
Except, well, it's a bit of a misnomer to call it a "hotel room." If it were strictly up to me, I'd be in a cheap Econo Lodge. However, the missus will be along in 'a few days.' She'll be along largely because I bribed her with food and creature comforts. Do note that she hasn't actually reserved a specific flight time, or anything like that. The company we've been using prefers a 24 hour notice, and can't commit to anything with less than 24 hour notice. Well, they can, but boy don't they raise the price!
Anyhow, we are in a fancy hotel room. Wanna see? Open the first attachment!
The bathroom is even kinda fancy. I have a choice of a bidet or a regular toilet, for starters. But, it also includes fancy boxes for the various toiletries you might see at other hotels.
See the second attachment! (I'm not sure the picture will be clear enough to read them all, but you can get the general idea.)
And, the last attachment is my bed. The couch pulls out, if you move stuff around. But, this is the bed where I sleep. It's pretty comfy!
For reasons too mundane to get into, I don't get baby-time until like 15:00. So, we jammed for a while and we're just going to let room service feed us lunch. But, now you can see a bit of what we see when we look around. It's pretty fancy. There's even a kitchenette, but it's not like the kitchenette you get in a cheap hotel. It's got like a dishwasher, real stove, etc..
It also has bottles of water, just tiny 12 oz bottles, for $2 each. It's not even fancy water. It's like cheap spring water, Dasani stuff I think it's spelled.

Being logged in doesn't matter, as their browser has to then open the page (which may be the case, but logged in isn't enough).
I have no idea why commercial flights do that. Well, the excuse is that it's a safety issue. That's patently absurd, but that's the excuse.
@the rest:
We're here. We're going to go get food. We'll probably not be back later. It seems REALLY unlikely that we'll be back. These old bones are tired and sore.
Sleep well, everyone. I'll try to sorta keep touch, but posting in here saves me TONS of time. ;-)

I dont recognize any of those places
The first was the first plane to Logan, Mass. I'm now underway to Virginia. I'm actually on a second plane, 'cause the charter company doesn't (usually) come up that far. So, I gotta hitch a ride down to Logan.
I'm on my way to spoil the baby. I have a mission!

Thanks. I still suspect it's probably them, but I think I'll have just (maybe) fixed that - if it's not a dropped DB connection for any number of reasons I can't fix.
Has this been going on long? If not, it's probably temporary.
Also, I'll attach an image I should have attached earlier. I'm getting faster (sorta) at getting the images scaled down. I still haven't figured out how to make 'em a uniform size, but that's okay.
The image is no longer new. We're well out of that airspace now. I'm not taking you a current pic!
Also, this wine is terrible.

I'm not 100% certain, but I have removed "location" as a profile field entry. As it was looking for "countries", that's probably a good place to start.
Alternatively, it's just the hosting company having issues with DB connectivity at an untimely point. Or it's a country flags type of mod, but I'm not seeing one installed.
