Re: "Https" Banner still not showing

Normally it should work on most web hosting plans, but I guess yours blocks hot linking. I'm surprised imgur does not work, I just tested it and it works. Make sure that you use the url to the image file directly though, and not just the page that shows the image. Been meaning to revamp the site tho...

Re: "Https" Banner still not showing

It looks like your web host is not allowing hot linking. Maybe it's a setting somewhere in your control panel.

Re: UOGateway

Hope you're feeling better, I see things work now, but let me know if there's still an issue. If there's still a password issue you can PM me the email you used and I can reset manually then send you it to that email.

Re: Wood stove install

Yeah the fact that it went up that high, and will probably keep going up, is what made me give in. The wood is going to be relatively free other than gas for my truck to go get it. My next step is to start incorporating solar more into my house as well, since hydro is another cost that I could work ...

Re: Wood stove install

According to the Enbridge site it's 13.6488 cents/cubic metre but there's a bunch of extra fees and taxes as well so it's hard to tell for sure what it comes up to or if those are included, they're not really clear. My typical bill last year was $170/mo, this year it's been adjusted down to $100 and...

Wood stove install

Couple years back my Embridge gas bill skyrocketed and I decided to get a wood stove. Trudeau's carbon tax sure doesn't help either. After not being able to find anyone to install it and just being given the run around I decided to do it myself. Figured I'd share the process. IMG_20221113_141835.jpg...

Re: Offgrid Homestead Build

Grass is starting to grow in already which will help make the ground more stable. Also brought in a small shelter so I don't have to pack so much stuff when I go there. Can leave camping chairs and stuff behind now.

Yeah this would probably be the a stable place as I have no intention of ending it. I have posts going back to the early 2000's on here.

I just issued a password reset. It's odd it was not letting you though, as the shard is still in the database.

You should be able to initiate a password reset on it, and it will send you an email. If that doesn't work let me know the name of the shard.
