Displaying 1,321 To 1,350 Of 1,384 Comments I just cut the chord over there this morning. I went on and reviewed what comments were being posted, and just couldn’t read any more. Even a post I made to a friend to say I was leaving (didn’t say where, even) was deleted. Sad beyond belief. 8) » Posted By PocketWatch On February 10, 2011 @ 10:41 am See above… 8) » Posted By PocketWatch On February 9, 2011 @ 5:13 pm A rant of mine from HP: It never ceases to amaze me to hear that tired old meme about the “left wing media”. It IS true that many individual reporters in the dim, dark past had personal political leanings to the left. They did not hide it. How that translates to what they reported on remains unclear. It seems to be the opinion of the right and conservatives and modern naziesque citizens that ANYONE that criticizes them or thier heroes, or anyone that uses documented facts are “lefties.” Ok. However, it has been YEARS, since there have been actual reporters working for the main stream media. What the right wingers either fail to realize or ignore is that ALL media is owned, operated, and completely managed, top to bottom, by only 4 or 5 very large, and VERY CONSERVATIVE corporate conglomerates. Are those Socialists that own and run Time Warner, GE, CBS, Disney, Viacom, or other corporations? https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/woodsa/www/chart.html I rather doubt it. Does anyone seriously think that they would allow ANYONE on air criticize a corporation in any serious way more than once, or seriously attack a conservative politician that the owners have supported? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! » Posted By PocketWatch On February 9, 2011 @ 5:12 pm I have links if anyone wants them, and they aren’t from JimmyDean.com, either… 😆 8) » Posted By PocketWatch On February 9, 2011 @ 5:06 pm There are no real journalists in the MSM any more. And if there are, they cannot do any real stoies. Why? Five (5) corporations own over 90% of all media in the US. Those companies have absolutely no interest in rocking the boat or reporting against themselves. They are interested in one thing only, profits, of course, and that is generated by ‘news as entertainment.’ 8) » Posted By PocketWatch On February 9, 2011 @ 4:44 pm http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/02/08/congress.abortion/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn House GOP pushes abortion restrictions Washington (CNN) — House Republicans are set to hold hearings this week on legislation restricting federal support for abortion, a move that has little support in the Democratic-controlled Senate or White House but one of enormous importance to the GOP’s socially conservative base. The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday on a bill that would make the restrictions in the Hyde Amendment permanent. ———– And here we go again. These guys were elected on what? Jobs and the economy. What are they actually doing? Reverting to wedge issues of God, Guns, and Gays. They’ve had 30 years or more on and off to “fix” these issues to thier heart’s content, and yet they only bring them up when there’s no hope of passing legislation. When will the Dems learn that this is nothing more than putting something up to a vote so the Republicans can use those votes next election cycle? God, I’m so disgusted with these retarded imbiciles! » Posted By PocketWatch On February 8, 2011 @ 10:35 am Sally, I certainly don’t want to either confuse anyone or anything, but I just wanted to say what I saw just now. When I first went to Sunday Funnies just now, I saw some images mashed as we described. I didn’t count them, so I can’t verify your findings. However, there were quite a few, starting some way down the scroll. I hit the refresh button on the Navigation Toolbar of my browser (Firefox) to reload the link. After I did that, all cartoons were fine. This is from the end user interface, not trying to compose a post or edit one. Just trying to add to the information available to see if the problem can be fixed. No need to reply. » Posted By PocketWatch On December 29, 2013 @ 10:40 am Absolutely agree and understand. This was/is not a real issue with me, and my past as a hardware/software troubleshooting guy sort of took over. Sally’s a better man than me for doing what she does! » Posted By PocketWatch On December 29, 2013 @ 7:09 am I thought SallyT was talking about how the Sunday Funnies look onscreen from the users’ end. My bad. Sorry. However, it is true that when I open Sunday Funnies, many of the cartoons are the proper width, but have been reduced vertically by maybe 90%. Looks like a fat colored horizontal bar. Refreshing the page seems to take care of it most of the time. Maybe a symptom of the same problem Sally’s talking about? Anyway, sorry for the mistake. I’m good either way. » Posted By PocketWatch On December 29, 2013 @ 6:08 am To Kalima and/or AdLib: I have this problem too. I didn’t think anything of it, really, until I saw the question above. I saw it as an issue of native formatting, possibly. Could it be that when you capture the cartoon image, it is being saved or rendered in a different format somehow? That might why some show up and others don’t. JPG versus, say PNG images? Just guessing here…. I know nothing about WordPress or building a web site, but I do know these cranky thingies we all type on and communicate with, and there is one truism that’s been around since the damned things were invented: “When you fix one bug, you create two more.” Totally appreciate the effort it must take to run this thing. I’d rather shove hot needles into my eyes than try and deal with tech issues, of all things. And I cannot imagine what software developers go through when they update, upgrade, or simply change or design a new product. Trying to make sure it all works and interfaces properly with all other software and machines. LOL Ain’t never gonna happen! Anyway, I’m seeing the same thing as Sally, so I’m guessing it’s a software issue, or maybe a setting somewhere related to how they are rendered? Got WordPress on speed dial I’m guessin’! PS: If you want/need my system specs (a nothing-special laptop), I’d be happy to post them for you. » Posted By PocketWatch On December 29, 2013 @ 5:04 am AdLib, how do I change my Profile picture? I’d like to make it the same as I’ve been using elsewhere as a kind of tag, so anyone familiar with me knows who I am (or used to be). No big deal either way. » Posted By PocketWatch On December 16, 2013 @ 11:22 am Test » Posted By PocketWatch On March 25, 2011 @ 6:35 pm AdLib – no sweat. You guys are busy, and some of this stuff is fairly easy, and I have LOTS of practice in explaining computer stuff to people. No reason for someone to wait. » Posted By PocketWatch On March 18, 2011 @ 11:52 am bito – no prob! » Posted By PocketWatch On March 17, 2011 @ 8:14 pm foxims – no sweat… took me a while to get it right. Give it a test here. I always forget to use the Insert Image click, or sometimes I forget to copy the URL before I come back and paste it in the popup box. I have a good memory, just very, very short. » Posted By PocketWatch On March 17, 2011 @ 7:49 pm foxisms – you have to upload the image from your drive to the PPOV media library first. When you do that, you will have a URL that can be used when you use the Insert Image click when composing your comment. Go to your Dashboard, look on the left side, and see Media, Add New. Once the image is uploaded and crunched, you’ll see all kinds of info for it. At the bottom of that info is the URL to use in your comment. » Posted By PocketWatch On March 17, 2011 @ 7:36 pm AdLib – Can’t change the location of the check box to nearer the Submit Button? » Posted By PocketWatch On March 2, 2011 @ 10:34 am chase – I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email accounts, and I just set up a filter that sees any emails from or to PPOV and it tosses them in a folder I made just for those emails, all automagically. Ain’t technology wunnerful? » Posted By PocketWatch On March 2, 2011 @ 9:03 am chase … per what AdLib was saying below, you need to go to your Account preferences for PPOV and change it there. All email from PPOV will go to that, including informational stuff from PPOV. That’s my understanding. » Posted By PocketWatch On March 2, 2011 @ 8:44 am chase… SMACK! (the good kind!) » Posted By PocketWatch On March 2, 2011 @ 8:32 am AdLib: Is it possible to add this check box to the Edit function so that if one forgets to check it, they can revisit their comment and check it at that time? Also, I’d suggest, again if possible, to have the check box close to the Submit Button on the screen. I’d imagine it will be used more than the Add Image click. » Posted By PocketWatch On March 2, 2011 @ 8:14 am Test (Oh, I see where the check box is… LOL One more thing to remember before clicking send!) I prefer “Opt In” systems like this rather than “Opt Out” systems. » Posted By PocketWatch On March 2, 2011 @ 8:05 am AdLib – Re: Email, AOL and Thunderbird Just an FYI. I DL’ed Thunderbird and it’s wizard pulled my account info for all three AOL email accounts and set up with no effort on my part. Totally automagically. Thanks for your info. All that POP and STMP stuff has always confused the crap out of me, especially in Outlook and Outlook Express. Thunderbird rocks! Just something to keep in mind. » Posted By PocketWatch On February 25, 2011 @ 6:22 pm What is the loneliest number? » Posted By PocketWatch On February 23, 2011 @ 9:18 pm Kali – it must be counting something. It went from 2 to 197 and now back to 2… LOL Kinda like pinball! » Posted By PocketWatch On February 23, 2011 @ 8:54 pm Something slipped… Just observing & reporting… » Posted By PocketWatch On February 23, 2011 @ 8:31 pm Kali – no excitement here! Just an FYI. I know how it goes… you do one thing, something else happens… unless you have a mirrored server, doing changes or maintenance live and in color can be challenging. Putter away! » Posted By PocketWatch On February 23, 2011 @ 6:04 pm Um… Edit Comment is down again. Just get a greyed out background, and the box never pops up. PS: How do you use a “Shortlink”? » Posted By PocketWatch On February 23, 2011 @ 5:36 pm Kali – no sweat… my typo demon is a nasty little shit whom I swat away all the time. Just mentioning it in case no one else did. » Posted By PocketWatch On February 22, 2011 @ 7:47 pm The Comment Editor seems to be hanging up… just sits there “Loading…” forever. » Posted By PocketWatch On February 22, 2011 @ 7:35 pmComments Posted By PocketWatch

The roll-down arrow(?) for the Comments tab in the new toolbar now has the character “1”. Functionality is fine.
