[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1073599, member: 99434"] I’m sure Jengo will post his reply, but from my end in why I gave Jengo a hand clap (glitches, bugs, issues): [LIST] [*]The high memory use which has been going on for years, including more recently for some members of it using 1.5 to 5GB of RAM. About 1 month ago it happened to a Mod on a clean install of Windows who was a bit miffed by it (1.5GB on his end) he then took the post down a day later. They had said with the others going through it, that it was probably a Windows update issue, or something else specific to their PCs.

[*]Things come in waves for BD (not saying it doesn’t for others) of Suspicious connections blocked, and the plethora of pop-ups often complained about and cannot be turned off.
