Computer techs would've probably done the same thing you did anyway, Brian. Back up and reinstall is generally the first step computer techs do when it comes to any issues with software that cannot be solved with the help of google or would take more than 30 minutes of their time to resolve. Cynically speaking from experience.

Do you mean to say that JavaScript programmers (front-end developers) are not real programmers? In my opinion, good front-end is more important than a good back-end. Would you rather submit a form on a slow website but which has a good user interface, or a fast "website" which requires you to submit JSON using CURL?

Have no fear.  He's in Croatia and we aren't sure that is a place that even exists.
