Cleared forum caches again. It definitely wouldn't hurt. Thanks! -

I tried again. Does anything change for you @shapeshifter (meaning, do the issues stay the same or does one get resolved and a new one pops up)? -

I had an issue myself this time around. Cleared the forum caches, now it's back to normal. Clearing forum caches is all I can do on my end. The last time we had issues, it took three or four tries until all issues had been resolved. -

I cleared the forum's caches, so it should be back to normal. However, for a reason that has not yet been discovered, the site sometimes has the hiccups when rebuilding. If you encounter any further issues, that's likely why. It'll possibly get resolved over time or, if not, I'll have to clear the forum's caches again. Again, I'm sorry about it. -

First of all, I'm sorry for the issues. A certificate/license was up for renewal this past week. It was renewed but, apparently, it wasn't imported to the server (per AllAstronauts). We're working on it and hope to have it resolved as soon as possible. -

Everything is fine on my end at the moment. Are the problems persisting? -
Hi everyone, how’s everyone doing? Just dropping in to leave a quick reminder… Kindly keep in mind that our posts have an impact an everyone who frequents the community and that it can be helpful to take a moment before posting to consider how a post impacts everyone around us. What message does it send and is it the message that I want it to send? How would I feel if I read my post as the individual I'm talking about or as someone who is of a different opinion? How does how I'm saying swhat I'm saying affect a post’s contents? Might it distract from the actual issue that I want to address? (Think violence that breaks out at protests, for example. 99% of protests can be peaceful but violence can become a story and distract from the message of the protests). As you continue to discuss, please remember to keep the focus on facts and actions and not on the individual. A focus on facts and actions can hold individuals responsible without shaming their identity and helps us be critical without making community members feel judged. Thank you.

Thread in question: Wham!: Last Christmas Unwrapped (BBC) Issue reported by @AnimeMania Looks like that's connected to the topic having been moved, having been indexed and that I chose to leave a link to the new location in its old location. For me, it's now marked read, so the issue should have been resolved.

Hi everyone, just a quick note to address the use of the term “illegal” to describe an individual. As no individual is inherently illegal and no individual’s existence is illegal, using the term “illegal” to describe an individual is considered dehumanizing language. (It’s considered that as it classifies individuals as something other than a human-being). When discussing immigrants present in the US without proper documentation, please use any of the following alternatives: - undocumented immigrants - unauthorized immigrants - immigrants without status - unlawfully present immigrants Please note that the term “illegal immigrant” also has its problems. While it’s not dehumanizing per se, it does label the individual rather than their action even though it’s their action that’s illegal and not the immigrant themselves. Additionally, we tend to associate the word “illegal” with having committed a crime. However, crossing the border unlawfully and being present in the US without proper documentation isn’t a criminal but a civil offense. Furthermore, immigration status is fluid and anyone has the right to request asylum regardless of how they entered a country. So, someone who crossed the border without authorization can become an immigrant with legal status. On a related note, while I get the motivation behind the use of nicknames, please be so kind and refer to any individual you discuss by their name. Lastly, kindly remember that the feelings and opinions expressed are equally valid. When responding, please respect the opinion of the individual you’re responding to. Thank you.

While the anticipation from when I was a child is gone and instead of too many days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, there never seem to be enough of them anymore, I still love the holiday season: the decorations, the traditions, the tree, the food, the time spent with family and friends. But as much as it’s a season of joy, it can be a challenging time for others. During those weeks when the long nights in the Northern hemisphere might make us feel the most lonely, when the getting together of families and friends might make the empty chairs that were previously occupied the most obvious, when the bare trees and naked bushes might make things look bleak and devoid of color, what I love most then are the holiday lights. To me, they bring light into darkness, warmth to those gathered inside, to those who might be hurrying by, color to where it may be missing, a moment of calm when we pause to enjoy their beauty. And when it snows, the fallen crystals sparkle in the light to sprinkle a little more magic into this most magical of seasons. So, let’s be each other’s light this holiday season and bring warmth, color and a sprinkle of magic to anyone who might be in need of it this year. Whether it’s your favorite tradition or recipe, a fun memory or what you love most about the holidays, a New Year’s resolution or something else entirely like a quote that you think may inspire or make one smile, share it below to help spread the beauty and cheer of the season.
