Thanks! It really wasn’t terribly time consuming to switch themes.
This one does seem a bit cooler. I have several more to try out on all of you before locking one down.
The previous theme had a few bugs, this one has less but there’s one problem with the Comments, when you reply to one the page jumps around then leaves you at the bottom to comment. It does place your reply in the right place but it needs some fixing.
I’m not going to invest my time (or money) in any big code fixes until we’ve settled on a theme so I hope you can bear with this one’s hiccups.
Ok I’m trying this out and I see what you mean but if this lands under your last comment, then I
don’t see it as a huge deal but as being rather unique. However should this be launched into
outer space, we might have a problem Houston.
It’s not a big thing to fix. For some reason the code is calling for the whole page to reload then pops back down here afterward.
I’ve already emailed the designer and even inquired about his availability and fees to make whatever revisions we might want to customize this site…if we choose to go with this one of course.
Adlib you hit a grand slam! I absolutely love the new theme. It’s unique and very functional at the same time. I also love the colors, very progressive!
I’m going with just KQuark on PlanetPOV (actually that was the original moniker I used on HP and I use for my fantasy teams) but just to remind you I’m still the SuperKollider I’ll test out adding this image.
FYI One thing I noticed is that that the thumbnail ratio for images on the front page are almost exactly 1.75 to 1.00 (very close to 16X9 ratio used for HDTV as well) so if you use images with dimensions close to that ratio they will show up well in the thumbnails and posts. So for articles like my articles on the environmental impact of nonionic surfactants I’ve made my main graphic for “Chemistry” roughly with that same ratio as the thumbnail.
It doesn’t have to be exact and I noticed it’s better to be on the high side of the ratio say even as high as 2:1 without many negative effects. Your pictures will just be automatically cropped to that ratio.
Just a test…you can embed a video in your posts by adding a “v” after the “http” in a YouTube link like this: “https: //www. youtube.com/watch?v=?????” (just don’t put in the spaces I did, had to do so to illustrate).
I really like the way these comment boxes look. I don’t know about you Kalima but they are much easier for me to read and follow. Because my blood pressure gets so low my vision goes in and out quite a bit. I just wish these bloody comment boxes on wordpress were a little wider.
I agree, you know about the problem with my left eye, so this really helps, especially this time in the
afternoon when I’ve been up for 10 hours straight.
My left eyes tends to be my problem eye as well. But some days like this past Tuesday I just could not focus after I woke up for a few hours. Late at night I have the same problem.
The thought of eternal suffering is a significant motivator for those who are strong in their religious beliefs. It is also conducive to those who push various religious doctrines on their congregants to keep them in line.

3 days later, I notice a spelling mistake (quite) not quiet and a comma missing after example.
Don’t drink and write!!
Good Lord, and that was only one sentence. 😆
To think that while I was sleeping like a baby, you were slogging away here creating new novas
for us to enjoy, is inspiring.
I love it, the colours are soothing to my eyes, I feel like a kid with a new set of paints.
Bravo!!

Ok, he goes. 3-2-1!!!
No problem at all, not even a hiccup. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Are you working on it right now because there is no HP button?
Sent a reply to your email.
Wow wow wow!
Adlib you hit a grand slam! I absolutely love the new theme. It’s unique and very functional at the same time. I also love the colors, very progressive!
Thanks! I have a few others that are very cool too!
Still a couple of glitches in this theme but fewer than in the previous one.
I do think it is a bit hipper!
Ok, I’m off!
Have good day now and kevenseven, hope your
exam goes well.
See you!
Oh, just an idea, wouldn’t it be better with the
newer comments on the top?
Otherwise we have to scroll right to the bottom each time as we have no “Back to the top” button.
test.

I wonder why that didn’t work?
Hey, I’m so sorry!
I just wanted to delete one of my comments and
it took a string of replies with it.
So sorry, I didn’t think that this would happen.
Damn and blast it!!!
Premature hysterics, I found them, unless AdLib
saved them from the trash pile?
Nope, I thought I had selected the option that said if a post was deleted, the comments just moved up. Is that what happened?
They moved down. I thought that you were on
your way to bed?
Off you go now! 🙂

Goodnight AdLib, sleep well and see you soon.

Hey what happened I was trying to add and image and the option went bye bye?

Ok, now we’re talking! Yay!
Ok, let’s see if this works.
Nope!
Fixed it! You remembered the “v” below!
Thanks for the info boss!
I’ll give video a test.
Just a test…you can embed a video in your posts by adding a “v” after the “http” in a YouTube link like this: “https: //www. youtube.com/watch?v=?????” (just don’t put in the spaces I did, had to do so to illustrate).
So that was you behind the curtain when I went
back there to fix my tags. LOL!
Sneaky me. I’m going to fix KQuark’s YouTube video above just by adding that “v”.
Well bloody done!!
Hey how the fuck did you do that?
This is like my favorite parody video of all time.

How odd that we are with totally different health
problems but share this double vision problem
and with the same eye.
I can’t watch tv late at night, maybe that’s why I
sleep so early and I haven’t been able to read a
book for two years now. Sad!
Just to make Adlib crazy.

I made Kellygrrrl a custom smiley today. I think I missed my calling as a scientist and should have went into the smiley making business.

I saw that and went green with envy.
Kalima I’ll do much better for you. Just tell me what you want and I’ll make you custom graphics for your columns.
That is so sweet but I don’t want to take advantage
of your kindness.
Just a minute, I do! Sorry, that’s my bad twin!
Ok but there is no rush. Two cats either side by
side or face to face would be great.
I’ll owe you big time. 🙂
No problemo Kalima. Actually making graphics is a good break between when I’m writing posts.
Thanks, I’ll look forward to it. Hugz1
I was only offered 3 stars to chose from, what
a bloody cheek, I wanted to give you 10. 🙁
Well I get to give you 5 stars. 🙂
What’s up with the stars tonight?
When I went to click on, only 3 stars came in to
view.
It’s a bloody conspiracy, run for the hills!!!
Thank you!! 🙂
