Rig redirect is still happening for me personally. Cleared ALL history on my browser on desktop, closed it, re-signed in, same thing. It seems to be hit and miss. If I click a thread enough times, somewhere between 5-10 times it'll eventually get me where I'm trying to go. Other times, it goes where I want it to the first time. Definitely a random bug, because its not constant. I PM'd it to ya, but figured I'd update here now that I could get back to the thread again. The other bugs, quote and notifications seem to be fixed though. Just for giggles, I tried turning off signatures, rigs, everything I could think of in user settings. Nothing seemed to do the trick on my end, so it doesn't seem to be a setting issue from user CP.

Edited out, oops, wrong place for this.

UPDATE!: No picture update yet, although I do have some messy pictures I COULD in theory share with ya'll if you wanted to see....... The second Socket 939 is alive and........well, its alive. Kinda...... My A8N32 SLI Deluxe motherboard wasn't happy at all in the system, and I really needed that board to utilize the full 8GB of ECC DDR400 I had on hand for it. For some odd reason, I couldn't get my Xigmatek S1283 to mount properly on it, as such the CPU kept overheating and the whole system would shut off. On top of that.....it absolutely REFUSED to retain BIOS settings, even with a new CR2032 battery installed. I did try a new jumper for the CLRTC jumper, but that didn't seem to help any either. The RAID card I was intending on using, was also not found. So I do, unfortunately, think that board is not 100% functional. I could be wrong, it could've been a number of other things. It DOES turn on, and it does sit in BIOS just fine. It also recognized all drives except the 2 that I found dead. HOWEVER....... My A8NSLI Premium board actually IS working, although its got some kinks to work out on it still as well. Unfortunately, I cannot do HD5770 crossfire as I wanted in either board. I forgot.....NF4 SLI chipset, they do NOT like having an HD5000 series GPU installed in the primary x16 slot. Period. Not sure why, but I recall having this same issue trying to get my HD5870 to work in the last one with these boards. The CPU is still running hot, but its running and currently installing Windows 7 x64 to it. The RAID card is working. I assume the sound card is working (its still installing ATM). The GPU in the bottom slot (GTS 250 1GB for now) is working, although I do think I'm going to trade it out for the Sapphire HD5770. This isn't necessarily a negative, as the 5770 crossfire would've been way too much GPU power for a Skt 939 dual core anyway, even overclocked stupid high. I figure HD5770 should dump less heat than my HD4890 I have sitting around, so that might help keep the system a TAD cooler anyway. This will also free up a few more PCIe slots, a 1x and the top 16x....I could in theory toss in a wifi card in the 1x, and use the top slot for my Hauppage 2250 TV tuner card. The goal of THIS build was to make a 100% usable old rig, so I don't have to bust out the "museum" pieces. I did find a DVD Burner that has failed, so that's a sad face. I'll have to order another of those, but I'm kinda holding off on orders until I find out exactly what all parts are dead. So far, one SSD and one DVDRW drive. I do believe I'll need to get some more MX-4 or maybe MX-5 in, and try a reseat.....as stock voltage, the CPU is still overheating and failing, and that just shouldn't be happening. I've had this same CPU and board at 3.1GHz, 1.50v before stable. The RAM.......the RAM isn't happy either, its at DDR200 speeds right now, 2x2GB of ECC. So.....I'm going to have to find somebody to trade 4x1GB of DDR400 with for these 4x2GB sticks (and maybe my A8N32 / Opteron 165?)...hint hint, anybody reading. Or, I might have to eventually buy a 4x1 kit off ebay or something. Either way, wanted to give ya'll an update. I'm making progress. The second 939 rig WILL live 100% very soon! Once I have this one dialed in, it'll be down to one Ryzen 1000 series system (the one I have isn't mine), MAYBE a Skt 754 if I get a little squirrely, two Socket A's (next on the chopping block since I have everything), and my Socket 7. If I get squirrely enough to do the 754, I'll probably toss in a K5 build too. I'm working on a few deals for some other cases, just in case.....since my Chieftec I'm not sure what to do with it as the front panel is still broken. My K6 case isn't the prettiest, but really just needs paint. Hmmmm, lots to think about. If anybody wants to see the messy progress, or a small preview of what this rig might end up looking like, please let me know. I'll be happy to post a few teasers up. I just don't have my phone on me right now, I snapped a few.....but its charging right now and I'm absolutely exhausted. Did grandpa's truck today too. -_- ~pio

I'm on mobile at the moment. The rig redirect is still happening but I haven't tried incognito or clearing cache yet. I will do so on my rig when I get home and browse around. Too much of a pain on mobile, and I had some new pictures to upload, which I'm more comfortable on desktop anyway. Quotes seem to be fixed and the black notifications at the bottom have stopped popping up. Not sure if they're permanently off or just the bug, since again was just checking in. If I see any of these again tonight on desktop I'll let you know. Others are saying it's fixed above, so I probably just need to clear cache.

Yeah, once we got to page 2, somehow page 1 got all screwed up. I thought it was just me.

Didn't bother taking pictures, but I found some more thrift store scores if anybody is interested. Boxed Sims 4 Boxed Sim City Boxed Meavis Beacon DOS / Win95 games (2 of them forget exactly the titles) Boxed CIV V Logitech Dual Action USB controller (old PS1 style I think it was, no full analogue buttons at all) Total haul was about $25 or so. Only missing 1 disc out of all of those, disc 1 out of the Sim City I think it was, might've been Sims 4. Either way, its abandonware at this point, so no harm in scoring it off the archives. I'm just happy to be finding the complete boxes with artwork. Never intended on collecting boxed games, but oops.....another collection I suppose.

I'm happy to see the thread cleaned and re-opened. While yes, I said I'm not all that into CGI art......its still an interesting news topic. Some of those images its spitting out really are kind of interesting in how its interpreting the text inputted. @bonami2.......what have you done there????

Quotes aren't working for me now. Second thread I've noticed it in. I've also noticed notification pop ups on the bottom that are old and I've already paid attention to in just about every thread I click in. Glad you're doing the diagnostics first, I'm sure we all love rig builder and would hate to see it disabled. Seems like the move wasn't 100% smooth this go around, but hey...the site is mostly functional still at least.

Update: (Sorry for double posting) Molex extensions should be arriving later today, so hopefully with any luck I'll have an update soonish, later today or tomorrow (haven't slept yet, was gaming lol). I'm hoping to have the second Skt 939 build with 5770 crossfire up and running later today (7-18), and with any luck by 7-19 I should have a damage report on the "newer" Skt A build that I already sent power through those faulty molex splitters. We'll see how it goes, I have two vehicles that I need to be tuning up this week too, my own Jeep and my grandpa's truck. Probably going to skip mine for now, his needs it more. Anyway, just wanted to at least update ya'll with what's going on over here.

Glad I wasn't the only one seeing it. I tried to update earlier this morning, it was doing it on mobile too this morning. Seems like disabling rigs fixed it. Hopefully a proper fix can be found soon. I'll have several new rigs in the next few weeks, hopefully months at the latest.

I've sent you both a PM. I don't want to leave, nor do I have any intention of actually leaving. I love this site and everybody on it. Even the guy I'm having an issue with, I don't have hard feelings with. He's a good guy, and he posts some great stuff here. With that said, I'm dropping this part of the conversation in the thread. Avacado made a good point, should be via PM.

Also, if you actually knew computer history ultramega, you wouldn't be quite so smug with your comebacks because yet again you're wrong on history. We had these same chatbots in IRC 20 ish years ago, which was free for anyone to use (still is actually). They drew more ascii art, but I do believe later on they started finding images from search engines. These are just the examples I personally remember, I'm sure it changed further after I had stopped using IRC. This is simply the latest advancement of the same tech we've had. As I said earlier, it's nothing new, nothing THAT great. The advancement is neat, which I SAID EARLIER. Yes, it's interesting. Yes, it's a pretty cool new bot for discord. But to claim it's new, that's far fetched. You're clearly new to the internet.

Edited out, issue has been resolved. With the above said, I'm not hard to find if anyone wants updates. I expect the rest of the builds to finally be coming to a finish soon after 2 long years of hard work and thousands of dollars. After that, benching!

Example: If I click on my thread here: https://forums.extremehw.net/topic/1008-pios-new-lol-projects/page/11/#comment-27996 It redirects me immediately to here: https://forums.extremehw.net/rigs/view/55/?display=brief&csrfKey=45b896a48ae8be73631887ee30c922e6 Every topic I click on just about these days, it does this lately. I've tried going to "private mode" on my browser (Brave browser), and that used to work the last time this bug popped up. However its not working this time. Not sure if its a setting, like in the comment view behavior maybe? I have mine set to "Take me to comments I haven't read". Just figured I'd submit the bug. I have not tried another browser as this is my main browser I use. It does NOT seem to do this behavior on mobile. Any other testing I can do, I'd be happy to oblige.

Edited.

Well see, the reason being its AI. It's a computer program that's making those images. I'm just not all that impressed, of course computers have that ability, they have since the 1950's or 60's ish, its just gotten more advanced is all. Yes, advancement is cool, but its still just a computer generated image. Had YOU PERSONALLY drawn those images or painted them, then I'd say that's really something and pretty neat. I just don't get all that impressed with things that we already know computers can do. Some of those look like they'd be pretty neat backgrounds and such, sure. It's just.....meh. I prefer human created art, that's all. Even photographs, if a human took the photograph, generally there's some perspective or personality to the photo. I don't know how to really describe it. I feel like they're missing personality or something. Don't misunderstand me, its amazing that AI programs have advanced this far. But they still don't stack up to actual art created by people.....at least in my opinion.

Personally, I'm just not interested in AI at all. I'm just posting to say, I still have no life so I'm here.

I wonder if its a similar issue that I had. Check your dimmer settings if it has any. Also, check to see if you're in a "pure / direct" sound mode. Both of those can cause the display to shut off.

Yeah, I'll be ordering a few tubes of MX-4 on payday, I've got quite a few older cards that desperately need a re-paste, those 5770's included. My poor 2900XT gets dangerously hot, to the point I went ahead and shelved it. Same with my 3870 and 4890. 5870, 6970, 7970 all probably need it too, but they were at least under 90*C loads lol. I've yet to properly test anything older than those yet, but my older cards than those listed PROBABLY need a re-paste too lol.

Yeah, see I'm weird.....I install the driver and call it a day usually for GPU's. With the invent of RSR and FSR, framerate caps in the drivers, and things like that....I'll now go in and mess around in the driver. But I always try my hardest to steer clear of external apps. It's been playing games all day today in kiddo's rig, no problems so far. He really appreciates it. It does seem to make the difference on some games between playable and not playable at 1080p (on his TV) with higher settings. He's 7, so he doesn't fully understand the settings and stuff, but he goes, "Wow dad, that looks a LOT better!" when I fired up his Slime Rancher and ESO earlier showing him the higher settings.

Why are we the only 2 that seem to be excited about this on EHW? It'd be really cool to see RDR2 with it, but sadly I cannot use any of the scaling functions until Rockstar fixes the fullscreen bug I experience, which they probably will never do. As is, the only way I can play RDR2 is in Borderless Window mode due to being Ultrawide. If I go fullscreen mode, the map gets all screwy and I use the map a TON when I play. -_- Not too terribly big of a deal, my rig handles it at the preset maximum on the slider at native res borderless windowed. It'd be nice to be able to crank up ALL of the pretties though and use RSR or FSR 2.0 on it though, it definitely looks better with everything all the way up. Probably very useful for people on 16:9 though. I still need to try it out on Cyberpunk too myself, FSR and RSR both work fine in that title for me (only way I CAN play it with RTX on).

Well, the "proper" card for his build in my opinion would be a Vega64. Unfortunately, prices are still a tad too high for my taste to pull the trigger on one of those yet. Worst case, if it doesn't work, I still have his old GTX 960 I can pop back in there no problem. I just figured, hey.....GTX 970 is an upgrade, and if it works, then it works.

As far as I can tell, the GTX 970 is functional (so far anyway). Ran 10 runs of Valley, peak temps of about 80*C. So, probably needs a re-grease, but....that can wait till I get more MX-4 in. Not going to put liquid metal on it...... Kiddo's rig (Ryzen 2600, 16GB B-die, and now that GTX 970) is back in his room, hopefully without issue until I get the grease in. We'll see.

Turns out, the molex extensions I ordered won't be here till next week. Not a big deal, ordered from modmymods, so I trust they'll actually be wired correctly. So....next week I can start on the old ones again. UPDATE: Absolutely HUGE thank you to @Sir Beregond!!!!! Got a huge box in the mail today. Out came 2x HD5770's that I'll use on the second Socket 939 rig for crossfire....instead of using my precious G92 cards. Also, his old possibly broken GTX 970, which if that works is an okay upgrade for my kiddo's rig (part of the collection too, but wrong GPU still). Right now I'm running DDU to get kiddo's old drivers out of there, and going to run some serious stress tests on the GTX 970 to see how it's doing. Re-paste if needed. We'll see how broken it really was, if any at all. He did mention possibly just a driver problem..... *shrugs If not, I can always put his old GTX 960 4GB back in his rig.

I've actually got one of every size of those Silicon Power drives, except the 2TB one (do they even make a 2TB one?). 256, 512, and a 1TB. Absolutely solid enough drives for the cost honestly. They're not super fast, but they beat 2.5" drives no problem.
