I keep randomly receiving the error only when accessing HTF: “Load cannot follow more than 20 redirections”. Ideas or thoughts?

It’s my sad duty this morning to report the passing of one of our longtime members, Johnny Angell. I noticed yesterday that I had not seen a new post from Johnny in over three months, which was uncharacteristic of him. Johnny had openly posted here over the past few years about his medical...

So my dad called today to tell me that he and my mom are getting to the point where they can no longer take care of their home and property (he’s 75, she’s 74 and they’re both in bad health) and are thinking about selling and getting a small apartment somewhere. After looking at apartment prices...

I am assuming quite a few forum members are using Marantz or Denon receivers that use a form of Audyssey MultiEQ. From all my research, the XT32 flavor is better, but is it worth the extra money over just MultiEQ XT? I can get a decent receiver that does everything I need it to but only has...

Hey gang! For a number of years, I was using our living room as a 5.1 HT with a pair of Paradigm Monitor 9s (v1), a Paradigm CC-350 center channel, a pair of Paradigm ADP-170 surrounds, and a Paradigm Servo-15 (1st gen) sub. About 10 years ago, my wife decided she wanted to rearrange the...

Insomnia is gripping me again so I have nothing better to do while lying in bed than to write. My wife’s mother was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia last Monday and is currently in intensive care at the hospital and undergoing chemotherapy. My wife is alternating 24-hour shifts at the...

His name was Scott and he was 46. He suffered a heart attack at work. He called our parents and told them he was having chest pains and drove himself to the hospital a few blocks away before going into full cardiac arrest in the emergency room. Death doesn’t descriminate but 46 is too young. I...

After 15 years, we are replacing our mattress. My wife wants to replace our headboard as well and the question came up: Do we want to just replace the headboard and mattress or replace our frame and box springs and get a platform bed that doesn’t require box springs instead. Thoughts one way or...

After 18 years and 400,000 miles, it’s time I finally retire my daily driver, a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S. After spending the past few months doing online research of different cars and taking test drives, I ordered one of these yesterday: 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport in rallye red...

With almost 375,000 miles on my Celica, I have finally begun to experience mechanical issues. I replaced the alternator a few years ago and have had a small oil leak for a while. I just had to replace the power steering pump and I have to let the car warm up a good 10 minutes before I drive it...

This morning I have been seeing quite a few random page reloads with the error message: "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded". It sometimes occurs as the page is loading but usually while I'm typing a thread post, causing me to have to go back to the thread. Luckily the auto...

I spend almost my entire day at work on my feet standing and walking on a concrete floor. For the past few months I have had a dull ache in my left foot which went away at night while I was asleep. I chalked it up to walking two to three miles a day after work and went on about my business. Over...

I've had my mid-2012 MacBook Pro since, well... 2012 and have always had either a bootcamp partition or a parallels vm running Windows because some of the software I use isn't made for a Mac. I have been slowly whittling away at software I actually use and some that devs have finally rewritten...

I just opened the HTF app on my iPhone and was greeted with a message saying the app would be discontinued at the end of November and to download Tapatalk. Is this so?

Has anyone bought an Oppo BDP-103 or 103D and if so, what are your thoughts on it? Thanks. Clint

With Apple Pay scheduled for rollout as soon as this week, I have to ask: Does anyone here actually use Passbook? When it first came out, it seemed like a good idea but so few businesses supported it, I stuck it in a folder with other core apps I never used but couldn't delete. Any thoughts...

My wife is going back to school this fall to get her LPN license. Right now, she has a late 2011 15" MacBook Pro with an i7 processor. She likes it but often complains that it's too big and she wishes she had bought a 13" like mine instead. She's by no means a super user and her Pro is mostly...

Over the holiday break I replaced my Linksys WRT-54GS2 with an Airport Extreme Base Station. Holy smokes! I absolutely love this router. My download speed actually increased by .5 Mbps. After getting the AEBS I changed my backup strategy and now have my SuperDuper backups and music/photo data on...

Is anyone else having sudden and constant crashes using the iPhone HTF app in iOS 7? It was very stable in iOS 6 but since upgrading to iOS 7, it is now broken and unusable. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped.

In a week or so, my wife will be receiving a 15" Macbook Pro. Currently, all of our iPhones and iPods are synched with my MBP and I have my iPhone doing nightly backups to iCloud. I would like to have my wife's iPhone start backing up to iCloud (notes, calendar and photostream) and synching...

Our 8 year old pomeranian, Daisy, passed away this afternoon. My wife and I got her about a year after getting married. This is the first pet I have lost in over 20 years and I had quite frankly forgotten how much it hurts. I have grieved more for her in the last 4 hours than for friends and...

Last night, my Dish DVR (ViP-622) started doing something bizarre. When I turned on my plasma, the entire screen was covered with red and blue vertical lines and rows of pixels. The satellite image comes through too, but it is covered with red and blue. I checked the wiring and everything was ok...

I have a 7 year old eMachines T2240 pc running XP Home Edition SP3 (which over the years has been upgraded with a new video card, sound card and RAM) which recently started experiencing HDD trouble. A co-worker had two Western Digital 7200 rpm, 120g HDDs which he had used a couple times for...

My wife and I have decided to finally upgrade to a king size bed. We are currently looking looking at getting a Durango mattress from Denver Mattress. We tried it out in the store and both really liked it. At $800 it isn't the most expensive mattress by any stretch but it isn't the cheapest...

For years, every time I clean the windshield in my car, it streaks and or leaves a haze. I've tried windex, a turtle wax glass cleaner, a Meguire's glass cleaner, a silicone cleaner from a glass tinting place (which works remarkably well on tinted glass as it should but sucks on non-tinted...

Due to an unexpected windfall, I may be in the market for a new display for my HT within the next few weeks. Currently, I have a Toshiba TW40x81 which has performed flawlessly since I bought it, but I want to upgrade to a new display for a few reasons. 1. No more convergence drift, focus and...

Why do people feel compelled to scream obscenities and lean on their horn while waiting in the drive-thru? I'm sitting 4 cars back at Taco Bell as I type this and the guy in front of me is really making an ass out of himself. It would really surprise me if his food doesn't contain a little floor...

Is it just me or has there been a surge of trolling on the HTF as of late?

Over the past three years, my wife and I have done okay income-wise. We don't make a bundle of money but we make enough that we don't go hungry. We've tried to be smart about our spending and budget for what we can. We try to stick some money back but something always seems to come up (car or...

For the past 6 months, in my spare time after work, I have been studying for my 301 and 302 exams. Monday evening I got online to find a local testing center and low and behold, the 301 and 302 are no longer given. Instead there is now an Essentials exam followed by a 602, 603 or 604 depending...
