Re: Having problems getting photos to display and links to work
Added by edit - I have the same problems with IE (9.0.etc), except at least a little box with a red x does show up. But with Firefox and IE, most of the photos do show up fine.
I cannot see the images using Chrome either. Just l'il boxes...

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Re: Having problems getting photos to display and links to work
It's a "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" sort of thing.
I looked into a couple of those. I got:
  • chzlolcats.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  • icanhascheezburger.wordpress.com is no longer available.
It looks as if those sites have been taken down. Perhaps the copyright police have been at work.
So maybe "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" translates to "sometimes the image is in cache and sometimes it isn't".

I posted twice to a thread in summation mode
The stuff in the top-right of the page says this:
quote:
Thread Info
Originated: 10-10-2012 2:27 PM
Total Participants: 23
Total Posts: 310
Summation Mode: On
Started at: 300 Messages
Who: Participants Only
I posted once in Message 302 and again in Message 310.
Both after Summation Mode was "started at: 300 Messages."
I don't think I did anything weird. If it helps at all, this is what I remember doing:
I did have 2 tabs open, though (Internet Explorer 11).
Tab A was open to make a reply that eventually was posted here: Message 33
Tab B was open to make the reply into the Summation Mode thread: Message 310
I would have posted the reply in Tab B first, then copied the "mid" number that created into the reply in Tab A... and then posted the reply from Tab A.
But... the software should have blocked my msg 310 (Tab B), right?
I don't remember seeing any warnings or popups or blocks at all. Everything just worked "normal" as if the thread wasn't in summation mode. I only noticed the summation mode when I attempted to make another reply to that same thread...
That makes me think... maybe it didn't block me from my 2nd post in Summation Mode because my first post (msg 302) was a normal specifically-linked-to-another-message reply, but my second post (msg 310) was just a "general reply" to the thread?
I dunno... have fun debugging!
I'm just going to go play over here.... weeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I can't see any doors I've left open - can you try to do it again?

Re: I posted twice to a thread in summation mode
No, sorry.
I retried just posting a General Reply... and that was blocked.
I retried opening a reply to something else, then opening another tab and doing a General Reply that way... and that was blocked as well.
I retried replying to a specific message... but that was also blocked.
Looks good now?

Re: I posted twice to a thread in summation mode
I didn't fix anything - if you can reconstruct your original approach it should still work.

Re: I posted twice to a thread in summation mode
I've tried, but I'm unable to replicate posting to that particular thread again.
I also tried looking through my post history to see if I could find something similar for me to test with, but I don't have any old threads with the following characteristics:
-last post to thread is before May, 2012
-thread is currently in summation mode (but not yet fully closed)
-"Stile" has already posted a summary message
I only found two threads that meet these criteria:
-last post to thread is before May, 2012
-thread is currently in summation mode (but not yet fully closed)
(Who can be saved? A Christian perspective and I Am Not An Atheist!)
-(the problem is I never posted a "first" summary message to either of these threads before May, 2012)
Maybe someone else who already has a normal-summation-mode message in those can attempt a "General Reply" and see if they can post again?

Re: I posted twice to a thread in summation mode
Couldn't it just be due to internet hysteresis? 302 might have snuck in because the shutoff signal hadn't arrived at Stile's ISP yet.

Hey Percy, in your vast abount of spare time ...
Would it be possible ...
when a post is off-topic to have the reply button disabled or re-routed (say to a coffehouse topic that can then be moved if it gets traction\good discussion.
Could you copy the post to coffee house and link reply button to that post?
Or disable the reply button/s and edit the post with the "OFF TOPIC" notice and a link to the new location?

Re: Hey Percy, in your vast abount of spare time ...
You're requesting some automation that makes a lot of sense, and I like automation. In this case I'd provide administrative buttons (means visible only to admins) to carry out functions like this with a single click.
As to when, that depends. My reserves of spare time may be increasing soon. Stay tuned.

Re: Hey Percy, in your vast abount of spare time ...
the thing is...if 5 people were off topic, would 5 new coffee house topics be started?

When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to meannothing more nor less.

That would work for those of us with short attention spans.

Forum seems to be running kind of slow
Slow responses in loading pages with occasional time-out problems. Currently about 11:30pm eastern time, although slowness have been happening earlier also.

Re: Forum seems to be running kind of slow
Anyone else having slowness problems? It might be something wacked with my computer. But other sites seems to work fine. Although I do seem to have problems with Shockwave Flash crashing a lot.
