There is definitely something weird going on.

The post above this I just posted it would not post. I hit the submit button and it says “ERROR: Are you sure you want to do that?”

I don’t know what that means.

So I decided to just make a short post saying “test” and it got posted. Then I edit the post and replace the word “test” with the…[Read more]

I am on Android. This happens on HTC 11 on Android 8, Pixel 3A on Android 10, and Samsung Note 9 on Android 9.

You don’t see it on short posts. You need to type a long sentence so it hits the right edge of the screen for things to act up.

That’s always been an issue. The reply window is wider than the actual phone screen. Actually as you type, t…[Read more]

I have no performance issue with any other web site, other sites load in a fraction of a second, BTP takes half a minute or more to load, reload, etc…

Tried it on chrome, firefox, same issue.

On the phone it loads faster (still much slower than other web sites, that’s tested on WIFI or 4G LTE), but on the phone it is using the mobile skin…[Read more]

Kurt, this is because you included information so that your company can be looked up and contacted?

This can be a good thing or not so good thing.

I personally have not experienced it because I do not provide full contact information and prefer participation at a personal level. However I do know people who had some negative experiences on…[Read more]

You can always try emailing them to ask if it’s possible to get it with the hard case , or like Bill mentioned you might be able to buy it , maybe even Craigslist or Kijiji might have them cheap

I did, but they don’t reply to emails LOL.

I had a new thread disappeared a few days ago. Before all the threads returned.

I started a thread, and it got posted. This is unlike other disappearing posts because those would just disappear upon hitting the submit button. This one got posted, and appeared on the forum index as new post. But after an hour or so, it disappeared. I thought…[Read more]

I’ve tried it on three different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Puffin) with similar results. Not sure why, but it has always been slow to do the initial page load, but then every other link performs just fine after that initial l…

Anyone having a real hard time loading this web site?

To go to any forum here it takes about 30 seconds for me. This seems to be the same on Firefox or Chrome, on desktop (Windows) or mobile (Android 9). No such issue with other web sites at all.

@RonW, that’s OK. I guess if it disappeared then if I do it again it will have the same result.

I’ll just wait till the dust settles here in the next week or month and see what happens then.

I have a question about Bosch concrete core bits, started a new thread in the power tools forum, then the thread posted but disappeared an hour later. Not sure if it’s another bug or whether it was removed by moderators. No idea. May be related to the coronavirus in Asia.

well at least this topic is visible. It’s probably visible because it was newly created after the software update.

I would compare the attributes of this topic/post vs any other hidden topics/posts and see what the difference is. The issue could be a topic issue or a post issue. There has to be an attribute that caused this topic to be visible…[Read more]

I see nothing when logged in or out.

If you see all posts while logged in then perhaps the issue is permissions related. Certain posts are hidden some are ghosted some may be set aside for premoderation yet some may be…[Read more]

I tested on chrome, firefox, Internet explorer on the desktop. Also tested on Android with Firefox and Opera Mini, with mobile and desktop skins, same behavior.

May be this is the internet version of “THE PURGE” LOL.

No it won’t fit on other brands. Actually it would only fit on some Bosch 4.5/5 grinders not all. It listed what models it’s compatible with. Bosch makes a bunch of shrouds some for cutting some for grinding, and they all have certain model compatibility.

I think one issue is the only real connection between the shroud and the grinder is the…[Read more]

I decided to give the Bosch GA50DC cutting dust shroud a try this week having to cut a recessed trench along a concrete wall and a bunch of angled cuts on old Chicago bricks.

So here are the pros and cons:

PROS:

There is basically only one pro, it does cut down on the dust significantly, BUT it depends on how and what you are cutting. For…[Read more]
