My phone looks the same. Using a Samsung if that makes any difference.
Looks far different on my computer!
Samsung here too. Maybe that's the difference.
i have an i phone
OK WTF it’s back to the way it was . I did nothing on settings
Different for me too. Desktop and laptop. Very bottom bar on the forum use to say Arborist 2.0. Now that option isn't there.

Used to sell firewood for $5 a face cord, deliverd
There used to be 3 grades of Pressure treated lumber, when it was all copper based. (green)
.20. Sold at box stores. Didn't last much more than untreated.
.40 Standard Lumber yard treated lumber. Lasts in most conditions when kept dry
.60 Foundation Grade. can be buried in dirt and kept wet. rot resistant for 50-75 years or more.
Newer chemicals and varying treatments now make it a crap shoot. In IA and WI Foundation grade is available. I've found yellawood to be somewhat between .20 and .40 in the old system.
Even IF the concentration is right in the tank, some operators don't get the time/temp long enough/high enough to get the chemical to the center in strong enough concentration.
I've seen treated lumber with the center rotted out, or eaten out by termites.
Best bet I've seen is to buy only from reputable lumber yards if you really need PT lumber. If you are putting it in walls where you can reasonably expect it to stay dry, then the box store PT will probably do to lessen chances of termite/carpenter ant damage.
The current "ground contact" may be meant to replace foundation grade, but I am not sure it is as good.
If you have a menard store in addition to lowe or home despot, menard has only ground contact the last I checked. (Last summer). I've gotten "ground contact" at lowes and HD at times too. You just have to watch the grade.
For critical stuff, I get the stuff certified foundation grade. That said, I have some foundation grade from a yard that sells a lot oaf wood foundation materials, that has been under the floor of an 8x10 tin shed for ~15 years, and it has either been eaten or rotted. It is in formosa termite country,
Never heard of foundation grade, I'll have to look out for it. Admittedly I'm no carpenter, and don't even like doing carpentry work. I do my best to grab the ground contact rated stuff. Didn't know there wad a superior grade yet. I've been treating the stuff i get with copper green preservative too. Seems to help them last longer.
It’s the same for me, no changes.

For a test I put some .40 on the ground alongside .60, all in a fairly dry place in the shade.
In less than 10 years, the .40 was ate up by black ants and the .60 was untouched.
When I buy PT lumber, I just make sure the little tag stapled on the end of the piece, says .60 treat on it.

Oil pan is in . I hand tightened the bolts till the Right Stuff started to squeeze out. I’m letting it sit a while before torquing the bolts down 
and now for my next trick removing the fill and drain plugs on the differential fill came out easily the drain not so much . Guess I’ll be getting new ones
The 10 mm hex just rounded the hole so I needed the old chisel and and hammer

It was looking good until I read the details, our place is 8 miles North of the fire. North is the only direction without a line.
I believe the forestry I work out of has an engine and crew out on that fire. They go all over .
I just bought a 1905 Savage 1899 in 38-55 as a bear gun. It's also a straight wall case so I can use it in all MD shotgun counties. I'm also having a custom built in 444 Rimless, it should work as a bear gun also. first pic is the 1905 38-55, second is the clip fed 444 Rimless.
I see engines from all over, I saw one from North Fork Idaho less than a week ago. At first I thought it was the North Fork near here, then noticed “Idaho”. It was next to me at the gas station.
Yes it looks a bit different on both my puter and android phone.
I posted this pic a while back. We have property in Hardy County WV, been there over 50 years. Never gave a thought of fires, until it came up through the George Washington National Forest, into Wardensville heading toward our place on 259. My neighbors said we were OK, it was just real smokey. This pic was about 6 miles from my driveway, on the other side of the hi way. I just finished getting the last of the wiring done at camp. Now I have to get our insurance Gal up there to write a policy.

Scary stuff!
This was taken by the neighbor just below us three years ago.
