content: Oh, a drive time rant again! I had forgotten that 'straigha drives on the left side.As for the forum layout... I'd like to suggest a members-only forum which offers some privacy. Mainly so that search engines can't see it.And also, I was thinking, maybe a forum dedicated to discussing other EE video blogs. I've noticed there's quite a few, and I'm sure some of them hang around here. Certainly Mike does, at least. I think it would have great community building potential.

content: Dave, peel it off and use a can of spray adhesive on both sides, leave for the flash time, then press back into place. Windows open during this in a dust free place. Tip to prevent it recurring is a carport and not parking in the sun.

content: @EEVBlog: Since you asked, I'm not really a big fan of the "child" boards stuff ... I preferred the old way.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on August 19, 2012, 12:34:08 amI believe you can reactivate the glue by using steam. If you have any way to steam it and then press it back into place it might work.I am still enjoying your blog Dave btw. Keep the "annoying" voice going!

content: Quote from: Ed.Kloonk on August 19, 2012, 01:19:39 amYou are genious! I love drive time rants, but every time I watch one something just feels wrong.And they should stay on the main YouTube channel, they absolutely are on topic for me as Dave mostly talks about electronics anyway.
