Great image. There was a movie that came out in 1958 called “The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”.

  Yes, I know the movie. Though I didn’t really see her as a giant woman attacking a city. 🙂

    I learned something by accident. I had to go back to using an old Mac Pro at work. It cannot be updated beyond El Capitan, so the browsers are older versions. I discovered that everything in WordPress works great in those older browsers. I can like an dpost directly on posts. plus post and the Reader load really quickly. That means that WordPress is having compatibility issues with new browsers in the latest versions of OS X. That includes Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. I don’t know if browsers in Windows have the same issues.

    Not generally. I only have the problem with Firefox, since they introduced all the security features. I probably made it too secure. 🙂
    Maybe there was a recent update by Apple and some sites still need to adapt.
