  3. Run 3 – The Tunnel That Breathes

    The tunnels in run 3 feel alive — shifting, pulsing, waiting. They test your reflexes and your rhythm. Each run feels like entering a living organism, and every escape feels like a heartbeat that almost stopped.

  4. Geometry Dash Lite – Jump to the Beat and Conquer Every Challenge

    If rhythm and reflex are your thing, Geometry Dash Lite is a must-play. Developed by RobTop Games, this free version of the popular platformer offers a thrilling experience that combines music, motion, and precision into one unstoppable rhythm adventure. With simple one-tap controls and fast-paced gameplay, it’s easy to start — but nearly impossible to master.

    Simple Controls, Infinite Challenge

    The concept is straightforward: guide your cube through a series of colorful, trap-filled levels where every jump must match the beat. Timing is everything. Miss a jump or hit a spike, and you’ll start all over again — but that’s…

  5. OCR and the performance of websites

    Steal Brainrot is a fast-paced meme-collecting and looting game where players compete to obtain rare Brainrots like Tralalero Tralala or Cappuccino Assassino. You can buy Brainrots, raid other people's bases to steal them, or protect your own treasure with traps and locks. Each successful steal will make you richer, but also make you the next target. Steal Brainrot is not only a fun game but also a strategic battle between greed and defense.

  7. Enlarge image area and remove distractions

    Please enlarge the image area and remove the tools that sit on top. The image area is really small as it is. Also, please gray background. There are too many distractions in viewing the images.

  8. How to Search for Obituaries with Limited Information?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some advice. I'm trying to locate an obituary for a distant relative who I believe passed away in the late 1950s or early 1960s, likely in the Manchester area. Unfortunately, I only have a rough estimate of the time period and a partial name — I know the surname (Thompson), and possibly the first initial (J or G).

    I've tried some keyword combinations in the search bar, but I'm struggling to narrow it down without hundreds of unrelated results. Are there any tips or tricks for refining obituary searches…

  10. Web Site performance and OCR

    Firstly I think you are doing a great thing with this archive; good job!
    However my experience of trying to contribute to your project in a small way and correct the plethora of errors which your very basic OCR generates in the articles I am researching has been very frustrating. Reviewing and correcting a few thousand words is taking hours when it should take maybe only an hour if the performance of the website was quicker and if the user interface for editing had been better designed. In Microsoft Word or some similar software I can see all the errors…

  11. Save a single article

    I have been reading for a couple of years that you hope to make it possible to save a single article instead of a whole page but I haven’t seen any progress in providing this, are you actually going to provide this option? it is why I let my subscription lapse, I would rejoin if this was sorted.

  13. Search for a phrase is often ignored

    When I search for a phrase, for example "W. Hunter" to get only hits for "W. Hunter" it is very annoying that I get endless hits for just "W." Can the search engine not be taught to ONLY look for "W. Hunter" ?

  14. Exact searching

    Because words like "and", "of" etc. seem to be used as operators, I often can't use them in the way I'd like. For example, I want to search for the EXACT phrase "The Horse and Hounds". At the moment, I can't see how to do it.
    I would like to be able to search for an EXACT phrase , e.g. "The Horse and Hounds" without

  17. A Timeline, simple base line of world/UK event dates occurring at, or near the atricle date

    Place the articles in some kind of timeline, a simple baseline graph idea would help I suppose. I don't have a plan but whenever I find an article concerning an ancestor it would help to picture the time he was living in - who was on the throne, world action concerning Britain etc.
