Not quite sure where to post this…
The ‘FORUM’ button has disappeared off my video feed screen.
Anyone else got the problem?
Temporarily the button is no longer at my main page feature. So I can not access it directly from there either. For now. 
The same goes for my video archive feed. For now. I reckon it will be back at some point. Hopefully.

Human memory is far more complex than RAM, and computers are light years away from functioning like the human brain. Only the speed of computation is now greater than that of humans. 
Ata. Mas na sacada (varanda), deve fazer ainda mais frio, ou não ?
