Marian  Thanks for posting this.  I was having the paragraph problem earlier, but after shutting down my laptop, following a security upgrade, now I have the tool bar again. If I have a problem uploading another poem, I'll try the . Thanks again, Londo

RE: RE: Site Function ProblemsQuote: Originally Posted by Dano i think it does have something to do with my browser...it worked fine this morning and then i did a microsoft update earlier and it now it wont work.. any suggestions There are a couple options... 1. go to tools-internet options-advanced, and click on Restore advanced settings. I'm assuming you've updated to IE 8? 2. Head to www.getfirefox.com and download firefox. Its a good browser as well. I guess a 3rd would be to look into reinstall internet explorer, although MS makes that difficult. You might be able to find some info on their web site about it. -Papa Paczki |

RE: Site Function ProblemsI've been using both Internet Explorer and Firefox to access the OP site... and different computers. |

RE: Site Function ProblemsI know what you mean springsize. A few months back when I had problems accessing a different site, I was given the advice to change browsers. Have found with the sites I frequent, including the OP, if ie doesn't work, then go with firefox and vice versa. It always seems that one or the other will work at different times. |

I will be diving into this after I finish a couple of other things that maintain site up-time. For the time being here is a tip that might work for you: When you are reading the friend activity and want to click a link do this: Hold down the Ctrl key + click the link. That should open a new page/tab in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Thus leaving you at the same spot in recent activity that you were at. Thank you for your patience

This is a comment I left for Marsink that I copied and pasted..... Can somebody fix this please? The quotation marks and apostrophe work fine as I’m writing the comment and then when it posts it shows up like this....really bothersome...”please can you fix it?" Hi Aria, I see do see that you are talking about but I am having a problem trying to pinpoint what is causing it. Do you only notice it when you type in " or a ' ? The strange thing is I just tested by typing a comment with quotes and did not notice the problem. If I can pinpoint exactly what when it happens I will be able to fix it. Please let me know! Thanks for your help. |

RE: Site Function ProblemsThanks, Clips, and yes, it is only “ and ‘. On the old site, this happened only in private messages but now it’s happening on comments, too. |

RE: Site Function ProblemsSpeaking of site function problems, the message I just sent was taking a long time to load so I stopped loading. I tried it again and it would not load again, etc. Finally, I gave up and hit the back button. Now there are 4 or 5 copies of the message. |

RE: Site Function Problemsthat is just how fast you are on the button. great finger work! |
|
RE: Site Function ProblemsThat is comical stuff. It is so embarrassing when one hits the send, submit, or what have you button because it doesn't seem to have gone, but actually did. The other thing I am finding out is when I leave a comment or send a PM it disappears in to neverland........................I wish ol' papa could fix that....but he probably ran off and is hiding in Neverland........................ |

RE: RE: Site Function ProblemsQuote: Originally Posted by knight4696 I am having problems with replying to comments... I can reply only by going to the "My Poem Comments" link.

It's very frustrating - because there is a button to post reply, the comment box opens and allows me to type comment, but when I hit the post reply button ... it deletes everything I just typed.  Thanks for your assistance. I found out that the best thing to do is to copy your comment or reply before you hit submit....if it screws up.....at least you have it copied, so you just paste it, and try again. I do that with everything...always..............................g

RE: Site Function ProblemsThe "I LIKE IT" button. |

This is how we as writers learn and grow. Please, fix this so you have to leave a comment before pushing "I like it". Peace and Light, Dah I can't understand why OP added that "I like it" button, and "I Don't like it" after one clicks the "I like it" button. What if one doesn't like it ? How would one be able to use the "I don't like it" button until after they click the "I like it" button ???   .....................................gogant

The "Like" button was meant to be just a quick tag letting the poet know that you like the poem. Once you click the like button you can unlick a poem for any reason and you will be off the like list for that poem. The reason we did not include a "I do not like this" button is because if someone does not really like the poem I feel if they they should leave a comment and try and help the poet. Our thoughts are when we implemented this is that you can still like a poem and not have to leave a comment on the poem if you do not wish to. Kind of like a way to leave your "mark" if you wish. In the near future we are planning on making more rating and comment changes for the better so we will consider your ideas and what we will do with the likes. Thank you guys for the input. |

RE: Site Function ProblemsOk, so I noticed something. Whenever I go to edit one of my poems, or add or change something, the list of yeses and nos at the bottom all stay where I set them except the weekly contest one. It automatically changes to yes. And it annoys me greatly that it automatically puts it on yes all the time. Several times I have had to go back and pull a poem off the contest. Very annoying indeed.... |
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
