Are you sure? Not everyone has seen all the classics. For example, the only part of The Seventh Seal is the part they spoof in the movie The Last action Hero.
Speaking of Casablanca, when I first saw it was when my brother taped it off one of the cable channels back in California when we first got a VCR around 1984 or 5. He didn't seem to understand why I was so incensed mad at him because the tape cut off the last 30 seconds of the movie.

Why would you need to navigate it one handed? There are no picture or video images here that would require special use of the other hand, so I don't see why one handed capability is so important.

I know the answer is "no", because this software is terrible, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

though also inaccurate, I think it depends on the device being used. Though I am speaking from experience posting while in a public place, not while pooping, which, I certainly hope, would be done in private... but knowing some of my fellow JCers... we can't be entirely sure of.
So, I've decided I am going to do this -- convert to phpBB3 -- with one condition.
One of the additional reasons I've never done it is because I suspected that the people that asked for it would never use it. Therefore, I will be counting for 30 days after the switch. If RetroRomper hasn't posted 30 times, I will undo the conversion and put us all on phpBB 1. The original.
RetroRomper has a chance to cure me of cynicism. We'll see how it goes.
