One More Reason To Switch uBlock
iVerge – Adblock Plus now sells ads.
Yeah, I know sites need ads to make money. I have ads on this site to try and break even. Last I checked 40% of you were blocking ads. Many of you have contributed through buying a Tweak Guide or donating. I use an ad blocker. uBlock Origin in Firefox (both phone and desktop) and the Samsung Browser on my phone. Ironically enough the Samsung Browser uses Adblock. And yes, I whitelist sites.
Download and info for uBlock Origin.

Windows 10 may freeze after installing the Anniversary Update – Updated 8-31-16
“The Windows Update released on August 31st for Windows 10 includes a fix for this issue.”
NOPE. All updates applied. Still freezing.

Neowin – Microsoft has finally fixed the freezing issue in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update
“Microsoft stated that this occurred due to the apps and operating system being installed on separate drives.”
NOPE. Apps in default location.

Paul Thurrott – Microsoft Fixes the Windows 10 Freezing Issues
“And if for some reason you’re still experiencing freezing problems after all this, Microsoft recommends creating a second administrator account on your PC, and signing in to that account. Once you do so, your regular account should work fine again. Why? Because Windows 10, that’s why.”
NOPE. Didn’t work. All workarounds attempted.

PC World – Microsoft fixes Windows 10’s Anniversary Update freezing
“Once that’s done, reboot your PC and you should be able to login to your original account with no problems. If it doesn’t, you can roll back your PC to vanilla Windows 10 and reinstall the Anniversary Update once again.”
NOPE. See: Infinite Loop or HCF or “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Win10 still unusable…

Thank you all for your feedback and patience while I changed the sites theme!

Welcome To The New Theme

Update…Tried new plugin. Broke site. No time to fix. Will fix later…
Thanks to everyone who gave their feedback!
This is the sites new theme. It is using Genesis Framework and I’ve customized the Sample Child Theme to suit my needs.

One thing remains under testing and I would like your feedback. I’m trying to max out the size of this theme under it’s responsive, content / sidebar design.
So I’ve set the deminsions to this:
/* Primary Sidebar */
.sidebar-primary {
float: right;
width: 240px;
}

/* Content */
.content {
float: right;
width:1000px;
}

Now obviously this may cause issues with smaller screens on desktops but it should not affect mobile devices as I use WPtouch Pro for that.
What I need to know is if you are having layout issues. See pic below:

Any other suggestions welcome!
