The # sign or hashtag can be expressed as shorthand for the word "number". 1 is a number. The forum software recognizes this and substitutes the number 1 for the symbol for number, #. This is a programming error. We should blame on the Red Faced Walrus. Square head, withhold the pickled herring. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfacedwalrus Posted September 13, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 13, 2017 @jsharr Does it show as Old17 in a different browser? If it does, then you're clearly losing your mind. If it doesn't, then you probably need to clean your browser cache. 29 minutes ago, Old#7 said: Square head, withhold the pickled herring. Please don't.

Don't get me wrong, Intel processors perform wonderfully, it's just their price gouging that makes me grumpy. You can get an AMD processor with twice the power for half the cost. There might be some tiny downsides for choosing AMD but the trade-off is incredibly worth it to a gamer like moi.
