Hi :) Don't worry! We have known and intermittent Trolls here. I think pretty much everyone else knows the score and just follows the mantra "don't feed the Trolls"! I think almost everyone can see how hollow and brittle their arguments are = so we mostly just sit back and laugh at them. On the

Hi :) That is one reason why it is best to avoid putting spaces in url names. Anyone who does use a space in a url looks like a clueless moron because it fails so often. CamelCase works far more often. Spaces don't. You can see the space has to be replaced by a %20 (coding = space) and that mak

Hi :) %25 is the code for a % symbol so the 'wrong' link is not really wrong after all.  It's just a bit odd and unnecessary.  In the 'wrong' link replace all the %25s with % so that %2520 becomes %20 and then the apparently 'wrong' link looks right.  It's a good reason for avoiding spaces and n

interested in Base, they're welcome. But you won't force anyone (and TDF does not force anyone) to work on something it does not want or does not need. However, you might want to step up and start to raise funds to have developers work on Base. The doors of opportunity are wide open. best, Ch
