  1. breaking out what follows into multiple segments to make it easier to understand: No, the current restrictions in place don't necessarily impact what I can do and can't do as far as the styling of tables go ; Though I'd need to take another look to see what can be done on a parent-container/sub-container basis (e.g., ||table|header row|normal row|column|cell||, etc. ); That said, I can accomplish what needs to be done table-wise to a large extent using the approach I mentioned earlier (by adding ids/classes via Tablepress and custom css for those ids/classes via the custom css panel in the theme options); But knowing what's up with the entire WordPress instance might would be beneficial, at least to me . As it stands now, it looks like a kluge to me when I view WordPress >> Dashboard >> Appearance >> Themes. Anyway, by 'hands tied,' I was referring more to being able to do things like adding somewhat fancier custom page and/or post templates that help automate things like creating new threads where others could post their comments about specific reviews. That includes keeping in mind that what really powers the forum itself is Invision, not WordPress.
  2. @Mr. Fox@pioneerisloudthank you both for your input! But (there' always a 'but,' eh?) While the issue with the statement that's currently in use at the end of our reviews is a valid concern, the quick (simple) fix for the time being might be to simply make the requested changes to that statement once everyone's in agreement as to how it should be worded; then manually start that new thread in the forum (in the right place) as one of the last actions required by reviewers when the post goes live. But you really don't need my help to do that... (even though I could create a new page template geared strictly toward reviews IF I had the level of access to the site files needed to do so; which I current don't—I'll explain in a bit). I'm also not necessarily crazy about opening such a thread up to guests who are not subscribed to the forum. Mostly because someone would have to moderate and approve or disapprove such posts because of the inherent risks involved with allowing anonymous posts. E ( @ENTERPRISE ) might chime in about that as well. Anyway, the intent of my original post was to toss around the idea of addressing the questions associated with tables; given that, I'm also okay with the fact the thread has morphed into something akin to a site suggestions thread, because of the attention it might now get by our proactive members As for why I'm limited in what I can and can't do, that boils down to: a) I don't have ftp access to the site root files to examine how they're coded (especially the theme files); and given how much they've been changed by what are likely various developers along the way to get where we are today, I'm not even sure I'd want that access (E likely went through a lot of trouble getting the customizations in place done by those developers while the site was being put together, over a longer period of time), and; b) I don't have access to the theme files via the theme file editor in the WordPress dashboard >> Appearance and I suspect that file editor has been disabled in the site root's wp-config.php file to ensure things aren't inadvertently broken by folks who mean well otherwise. So my hands are bit tied at this time as to what I really can do, unfortunately or not. And I'll pause for a breather now because I have to get ready to bloodwork done (there's also that); and give everyone (including E) a chance to digest what's in this post and add comments of your own.
  3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they run the tests using two different 32GB sticks (DDR5 8000, DDR5 7800)? ...those memory timings though Anyway, , while muchos voltas sounds like something you might hear in a sales pitch for a Musk product south of the border at the bottom of the lower 48, it does raise a pertinent question: does HWBOT really care how much voltage you push through anything when competing in any of its competitions? Frying one's daily driver otoh... (...there I go confusing drivers again)
  4. Just inferring I still have a sense of humor
  5. NBCNEWS: Tesla drivers can play video games while driving. Federal safety regulators are asking why.
  6. Thanks E. If you're okay with it, so am I . Also, it might not be a bad idea to toss it by the other regulars since a number of them are fairly well vested in the site's success I'd propose ideas/changes through you for approval first of course; and I'd develop and flush them out in test posts if you're okay with that, before going live with anything. Feel free to modify what I just suggested and we'll come up with a plan. Once this process is established, users could then make (e.g.) 'styling' requests to me for reviews and other pieces they authored; Such requests would have adhere to any digital style guide for the site that's established/maintained of course. Thoughts? Added edit: my apologies if it's the case, but I think I misread your intent earlier. If you meant temporarily giving me administrator access just to determine what's possible as far as tables go, I'm okay with that as well.
  7. yup, after I regroup (it's been a busy day). VideoCardz: G.SKILL showcases DDR5-10000 memory OC on ASUS Z790 ROG Maximus APEX with Core i9-13900K CPU
  8. No self control is what people who buy stuff on credit have.
  9. Maybe we could meet on Discord where I can share my screen and can explain what follows to you in depth? For the time being I'll park a few images that highlight what's going on in the following spoiler:
  10. Thanks, E I can actually make tables used in a web page look just about any way a user wants... That said, I did have a look at what's doable (or not doable) the way things are set up in WordPress now. First the facts: the current WordPress user role restrictions in place for me (example in spoiler) prevent me and anyone assigned the same WordPress role as me from making anything more than rudimentary changes. That's understandable, of course, since we don't want folks breaking things accidentally, especially if they're not overly adept at using WordPress/html/css; I'm also assuming all review authors are assigned the same role; but I'm not entirely sure of what WordPress role/level of access that is. I'll assume Author for the time being, until you tell me otherwise. Anyway, in the theme in use on EHW, css classes and/or ids can indeed be added to the main table element (the table container, if you will); but the actual css code associated with those classes and ids may have to be added/altered by someone with administrative rights (e.g.; someone who could make changes to the theme's stylesheet(s); best done these days using either a) any stylesheet tools/functionality that accompany a specific WordPress theme at the post and/or page level; or, if not available; b) by making such alterations using the theme editor itself that's built into WordPress. Note: I stated 'may have to be' in the previous paragraph because I'm guessing the Total theme that's in use on the site might allow style management at the post/page level if certain theme options are turned on for post/page authors, but you may have disabled them for the same reasons mentioned earlier (to avoid accidental errors on our reviewers' parts that might break other things, etc.). So, as it stands, that really leaves us with only one other option: making such changes at the post/page level using the post editor's html/text view; but I'm fairly certain that would introduce a whole new set of risks if we delved into that. We can discuss more about that later if necessary. I'm going to stop here for the time being to give you time to digest what I've just mentioned as well as time to decide if you would like me to take this further or not. Me, I'm willing to help.
  11. Yeah, the mated pins used in such connectors are typically rated for number of allowable insertions and that number typically varies depending on what materials are used to manufacture/plate these pins (e.g., copper, tin, gold, silver, bronze, etc.). Unfortunately, that number is also typically far less than your usual hardware 'enthusiasts' want/need. Terminal manufacturers really could care squat about an enthusiast's needs to swap cables frequently, and usually (if they want to sell their wares) are focused on long term reliability more than anything else. Which likely should raise some quality related questions about the metal scrapings found in the examples Steve shared in the video...
  12. ^Yup. Anyway, if you haven't watched the following Tech Jesus episode about why any/all of the cables can burn up, it's fairly informative. I cracked a snarky smile when Steve said Igor was wrong about certain things he reported...
  13. Yeah, you were in the right place at the right time when you picked up your 4090, eh? But I'm actually somewhat surprised the scalpers haven't bought out all the high end PSUs yet.
  14. Both, actually (style AND viewport-driven media queries). My post was in response to a question one of our reviewers had on the Discord channel about how to narrow the width of a custom "system requirements" table they were working on for a review they are doing. I do understand your need for caution though and am aware of the caveats that can accompany the sharing of such info; which might be addressed by simply stating "don't add CSS or make changes to the existing CSS for the following tables" to a list of tables review authors shouldn't alter. Ultimately though, it is your web site E and you have the last say (I was just trying to be helpful).
  15. The question (paraphrased) came up in our Discord Channel: how do you customize tables (e.g., how they're displayed in the browser; how they display in full size desktop screens vs. Smart Phone screens, etc. (responsive web design); and so forth)? Here's my initial response to that: Some basic knowledge of CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) code added 'inline' might help; the more standardized approach would be to assign IDs/Classes to block elements (e.g., a major section, paragraph, image, table, table row, etc.--containers, if you will), then add CSS for those unique IDs/Classes to the stylesheet in use for a page. I'll sign into my EHW WordPress account later today to see whether/what option(s) exist(s). If such modifications can be made by our reviewers' at their account levels (e.g. author vs. editor, etc.), I'll work on putting together a cheat sheet with screen snaps that everyone can follow; and post it in this thread.

  17. uh uh, ain't the ban thread, no way, José--I turned the last guy who did that to me into someone who hurts when she pees; why would I wanna risk having that done to me? Frank Zappa- Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? (relevant info) ...all that said, i should be 'fully equipped ' now, eh? anyway, btw, in a similar vein, don't be a
  18. I'll let you know; maybe I'll do a review of the phone/watch combo. Added: ordered additional goodies to go with the phone purchase:
  19. Definitely glad I had a quasi serviceable smart phone the past few weeks. Time to trade it in though and upgrade; ordered a smart watch for additional monitoring purposes to go along with it. Samsung even gave me a military discount (I'm registered with Id.Me).
  20. i beat them (again) this time around... must have been the cowbell:
