That was an interesting thought...

I've now run the posting through a Base64 extractor which reports.

"This file does not appear to contain any base64 data."

Having also looked at the raw data in an advanced text editor, the
thing/table/whatever (above) appears within the data exactly as it
presents in the viewed posting.

The only thing of note within is a URL, https://i.imgur.com/ssZlgNm.png 
which displays the real purpose of the posting...

The window display you get from "Help-Trouble shooting information"
hilighting the path to the profile.

So still no idea what the above thing is...  ;-)

Dave
