As it looks like pressure cooker I would say it is some kind of pressure release valve?

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
I can find nothing wrong at the moment Stanley. Just done a test post and it was instantaneous. Server Stats just now:
CPU 13.74%
Ram 33%
HD used 45GB, Free 65GB
Any particular topic that you are having problems with?

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
I have expanded in the other thread but your experiences with the site are probably due to being active through the night during maintenance at the hosts. I think the problem was probably with a DNS server at IONOS.

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
I think yesterday intermittent site slowdown and other sundry problems are down to a dodgy DNS server at the hosts. The slowdown looked suspiciously like another DDos attack with the server CPU ramped up to 100% and the RAM also at 100% usage. I checked the 8000 line long proxy error log and cloned ...

Northern News tonight quotes over 100 will not be fighting their seats. That's very nearly a third of the Tory seats in the House of Commons.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
You can see the problem in Stanley's posts from Bob in Bobs Bits. Basically its displaying the unicodes for single and double quotes, open and close. Leads me to suspect an incorrect selection in Stanley's editor which he normally uses to edit Bob's emails. Bits of the story in Bobs bits as well Pet...

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
I have just checked in a text editor I use (Notepad++). The settings for toggling unicode and other normally hidden characters is in the View menu.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
Now onto Stanley's Text Editor problems. Peter may come in handy here as he probably uses the same one.
Long story short. Stanleys Text Editor is shoving unicode into his edits for Bobs Bits.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
I dread anything like that where I have to talk to 'an agent' who almost always has an accent and gabbles. I simply can't understand them. (And I don't have Janet to interpret for me.) I hope it has been sorted out Peter. For that reason I always use a chat option if available. You get the added bo...

Re: BOB'S BITS
The codes are unicode for opening and closing single and double quotation marks. Was this received after your Thunderbird upgrade Stanley? If so you need to check on Webmail. If it's right there it's probably your client, if still wrong it must be at Bobs end.

How about this for daftness. Sally is going to meet Ruby from the train up from Stratford in Leeds. As usual she booked her tickets and for times that would get her there before Ruby arrived. We have a couple of deliveries scheduled for this morning that cant be changed so I couldn't run her to Skip...

Re: BOB'S BITS
It could equally be at your end with a setting in your email client. I take it you copy and paste what Bob sends? I think you are with TalkTalk so you have a webmail option to cross check with via the TalkTalk website.

If the Tories keep going like this there will be no one left by the General Election. Is it 69 now who have bailed out?

Re: BOB'S BITS
I looks like they are formatting commands from a WP application which would normally be hidden. Depends what Bob uses I suppose.
