Whew! I'm back up and better than ever. 24 hours later... two new internal drives and they were able to clone Everything from the old ones to the new ones. Things are now exactly as they were, but on brand new drives. :)
At this point, though it was tempting, I no longer suspect the Win updates per se. One drive was 'almost' dead (and rendered the computer unbootable) and the other drive was headed towards failing, but was not a boot drive, just for daily data backups. We've had quite a few sudden power outages lately, which may have speeded the demise.

Things are good now, but will need tomorrow to catch up with work before I get back to this thread. Needless to say, will delay those win updates for a couple weeks now and meanwhile am running lots of external backups as well (like I usually do).
Thanks!

Michael, sorry for the delays.
I've had sitebuilder installed on my inactive pennywhistle site for a while now, but not activated. That's where I'll be doing this testing.
Unfortunately BOTH my drives inside my main work desktop computer started dying this morning and my computer was unbootable...its in for repairs right now and perhaps tomorrow I can get back in action. Not sure why. Both the main SSD and ALSO the daily backup drive... ugh!
Right now I'm just on my little laptop which is not set up to do much except browse and check email. Horrible feeling to have all my (dayjob) work from the past two weeks hanging by a thread. (my latest externa backup is 2 wks old) Keeping my fingers crossed they can clone from one of the two internal drives. All this happened right after I applied the newest Windows updates this morning... but impossible to tell if that was a coincidence or not. GRRR
Anyhoo, I'm currently grounded.

PJ, I may be selling things on other sites, or Craigslist, etc. With a high cost item, I can easily exceed the limits for attachments on various sites. Last year I sold a valuable mandolin on a Mandolin social network, and I had to create a separate page with many photos, a video, attached original receipts/documentation, and descriptions. Even my own ForSale forum on my JR music site does not allow that many attachments... lol.
Thus I need to occasionally create some temporary pages just for such disposable page use. In the past I've done this on my (non-JR) hosted domain/web package, but I'm giving that space up since for my purposes it's not worth the premium cost they charge me.

Send Me a Private Note Button
Design and Skin Customization

I keep adding... border: none: ...and border="0" code bits to both my skin profile_sidebar.tpl and my profile.css files, in the places where the envelope sprite/icon is described, but I can't seem to remove the annoying thin grey border from around my 'envelope' email icon for this feature. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Yes, thank you!- now it's at least centered.

1) Now how do I get rid of that ugly little BORDER/SHADOW around the envelope image?
I've already got this "no border/no boxshadow" specified in the profile.css file:

/* @message this member envelope icon */
#profile_contact {
text-align: center;
}
#profile_contact .sprite_con {
display: inline;
border: none;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow:none;
}
...is my code there faulty for having no shadow or border?

ALSO-
2) as you noted, the envelope icon gets cut off if I try to make it larger- right now I have it at 35px in the skin sidebar template and that at least fits, but I'd like to make it sized 45 ...but when I do the image starts getting cut off. Is it the sidebar container that is not expanding to accommodate the image at a larger size, maybe?

It's all so close I can taste it! ;D

nate:
There is a div with no class that wraps the icon and anchor. That div needs to have a rule text-align: center; You can add it inline or give it a class and make it a property of the class.
Do you mean in my profile_sidebar.tpl or in my profile.css file?

Nate I will open a ticket so you can log in as that Master Admin... thanks!

p.s. whatever you wind up figuring out, I'll need to know so I can add this feature on my main (more active) JR site, FOTMD.com

So, now i am back to this envelope icon, which functions perfectly as I want it to... but still it's not centered and has the ugly little line border around it, like before (see screenshot)

I'm thinking that there's something not jiving between the .css style code i added and the actual icon button I've got showing there....since the button appearance did not change when I added the css code to the profile.css file? Or maybe I put the css style code into the wrong css file? (I did integ checks and cache etc after making the changes)

Ok, I'm back to trying to adjust this 'send message' icon's appearance.
Thanks Michael... I removed that section of styling code from my profile sidebar template, and I put it above the 'status box' within my skin's profile.css file... here is how that section looks now in my profile.css file:
/* @title Profile Image Hover */
/* @help When Hovering over the Profile Image, the Change Profile Image hover box will appear */
.profile_hoverimage {
    background-color: #333333;
    position: absolute;
    top: 15px;
    left: 15px;
    padding: 3px;
    display: none;
    opacity: 0.8;
    border-radius: 3px;
}

.profile_hoverimage a {
    text-decoration: none;
}

.profile_hoverimage a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
}

.profile_image:hover .profile_hoverimage {
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
}

/* @message this member envelope icon */
#profile_contact {
text-align: center;
}
#profile_contact .sprite_con {
display: inline;
border: none;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow:none;
}

.stat_entry_box {
    float: left;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-color: #999999;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 3px;
    padding: 3px 9px;
    margin: 6px 6px 0 0;
    font-size: 12px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

In my ACP, my profile.css layout NOW looks like this:

Is it possible to use the Mailgun list of "Bounces and Failures" to move unused accounts offline, or out?
Using Jamroom

That's a real nice idea that would be very useful to many.

I would add one addition to it- to also include a column showing the disk space that account uses on your site... the same disk space info we can currently see in our 'Profile Browser'. That way, we could investigate before deleting a member that had contributed a lot of valuable site content that we might not want to inadvertently remove even though they are no longer active. If the disk space for that member is 0 kb, we know we'll not be losing any good site content when deleting them.

As things are currently set up, it's annoying and time consuming to 1) Check the quota we've setup to automatically isolate kickbox email 'fails' into a to-be-deleted quota, then 2) have to go to the User Browser to see the last log in date, and 3) go to the Profile Browser (or the profile page itself) to check if the member has a lot of site content I might not want to delete.... before actually deleting the account. Steps 2 and 3 require copy/paste search for the member in each profile and user Browser.
I've been following all these steps for years now when I periodically go check my 'kickbox fail' Quota.
