jkkFL – I have the same thing. I thought it may be because of Vox populi? Every time a new message goes through it plops, I guess.

Abby, and all of you: ๐Ÿ™‚

There are no hearts and thumbs up – icons available, otherwise I would have added them too….

But our coming together here could happen only because of you, the people who created Planet POV in the first place. So again, thanks a million times!

Thanks AdLib, mine is working too now. I had written an email to you about the very same thing, so you have one less to answer….

Ok, thanks Kalima. Thanks to all of you for working so hard, we all appreciate it a lot.

I thought I don’t want to bother everyone else with this issue, since it seemed to have to do with my computer. But now that Pundit has the same problem, I suspect it may be an issue due to the new server.

Hi there, yes. exactly the same issue, I sent an email with PW’s and my screenshot to AdLib (admin email).
I thought it may have to do with the fact that I’m on a Mac or with some firewall/security settings?
No idea. I empty my cache every time I shut down my computer and there was never a change so far. In fact, since I came to the Planet about 2 weeks ago I never saw the media tab in the dashboard. I surely would have tried what I can do with it if it had been there.

I never thought of that, but I think I still would have to scroll through the pages. I can get only to the front page of the comments in this way. But wait, you said permalink: which one is the permalink?

I also admit, Huffy spoiled us regarding the comments’ system quite a bit.
However if all the replies could be collected in one place, like my own comments in Planetpov stats are, it would be excellent.

ghsts, AdLib, still my fervent wish too not to miss any reply…..

Is there a way to do that? ๐Ÿ™‚

Dear PW, thank you so much. My screen does in fact look a little bit different, I have no Media button and no WP-Stats and no Mail-Subscribers. Maybe it’s because I’m on a Mac? No idea. I’ll send a mail with a screenshot to AdLib. If it can get sorted out I let you know how.

Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated. You’re a marvelous teacher. Greetings to Maggie!

Thank you PW. I could follow again up to the dashboard part. But in there, I don’t see a “media” button. On the left side of the screen there is: Dashboard, Posts, Profile, Tools. Am I looking in the right place? Or do I see something else on my screen than anybody else? No idea.
I hope you or one of the administrators can help me out??? โ“ ๐Ÿ˜• โ“

PW! How sweet she is! And you found out, how to upload a picture! I tried to follow AdLib’s instructions, but to no avail. Now pretty please, can you make a manual for dummies how to upload a picture from the own hard disk??? (And all the other stuff that you’re already adept at?) I know there are many manuals around, but honestly, they are too complicated for someone like me who never bothered to mess around with stuff like that so far. And, you are an excellent teacher! No worries, I find other ways to keep AdLib and the other administrators busy… Since I’m inspired by this site my ideas are flowing in abundance… ๐Ÿ˜‰

Cher – I was very curious about your art work – can you please tell your husband that it’s spring now? ๐Ÿ˜€

There is so much talent on this site!!! My suggestion is to create a new sub-section in the Arts section to exhibit these wonderful pieces. Buddy McCue’s excellent drawings come to mind, zootliberal’s graphics (the “Mass Exodus” -one would also be a match in the humor section) – and that’s just what I gleaned so far.

I know pictures take a lot of space, but do you think there is a way to do that?

KQuark, ๐Ÿ™ …. too many dollars….. too bad!
However AdLib asked me to specify what I meant and is looking into it soon. So let’s see what happens….

» Posted By Truth On February 15, 2011 @ 3:44 am

Yes I know AdLib, and thanks again for your excellent work.

» Posted By Truth On February 15, 2011 @ 3:41 am

Thanks, this is helpful to me too.

***Edit: At least that’s what I hoped…. couldn’t figure it out yet. Sigh!

Hi AdLIb, glad you checked in on the help desk. I know you are very busy and I can’t thank you enough for your excellent work.

I don’t know if you were still at Huff when they invented the inbox for every user. In that inbox appears every reply to one’s own comments (and even if the reply gets deleted it mostly stayed there). But of course this feature is a luxury that’s not essential. However I would like to access the ANSWERS to my posts in one place in order not to miss valuable answers. At Huff we had the comment’s history in the profile and the answers would (mostly) appear there too. I wouldn’t mind if the replies would appear in a separate place, but right now I’m scrolling my way through the pages in order not to miss out on answers and this takes up too much time.
And yes, the way the comments appear here in the thread is a bit confusing, but it has the advantage, that every poster has to be addressed personally….. Still if there was a less confusing solution I wouldn’t mind.

Another feature I would like to suggest is to have page numbers in the threads. If one goes back in a thread and answers to someone, one is catapulted to the first page every time, and no chance to jump right in where we’ve been before. That means sometimes to scroll again back through 4 or 5 pages…

I hope this clarifies what I meant and that there are some technical solutions to it. Thanks for listening.

KQuark: that’s of course true – there ARE advantages to this comment system. Sure enough I meant to say: how can we get these advantages as well as those from Huff???

» Posted By Truth On February 15, 2011 @ 1:00 am

Ring -ring- ring….. my request is below, but I may have dropped it not during working hours…

» Posted By Truth On February 15, 2011 @ 12:51 am

Assuming that this is the place to bring this up, I have another question/suggestion: being spoiled by the one excellent thing the Huff has โ€“ the organization of the comments โ€“ I wondered if it would be possible to implement a similar comment system here. I assume that this may be a very costly affair.
Now we can simply wait for about 2 years. At that time the AOL post, as it will be named by then, and after Ms H has fled the sinking ship, will most certainly go bankrupt and they may be happy to sell as much as they canโ€ฆ..

But on a more serious note: what exactly would be the cost for a comment system like that? I have no idea, but maybe it could be done by collecting donations for it? After all since there are more users there’s also more money… (And I very much plan to figure out that paypal thingy, since I have no credit cards).
For: yes, I would really appreciate it. With the current system, I am going to miss some replies, and I would extremely regret that, but I canโ€™t spend 18 or so hours on the computer every dayโ€ฆ. Or do I miss something how else I can see my comments as well as the replies?

Bito, how good that chase was testing the waters – being spoiled by the one excellent thing the Huff has – the organization of the comments – I wondered if it would be possible to implement a similar comment system here.
But I also seemed to be right with my assumption that it would be costly. Now we can simply wait for about 2 years. At that time the AOL post, as it will be named by then, and after Ms H has fled the sinking ship, will most certainly go bankrupt and they may be happy to sell as much as they can…..

But on a more serious note: what would be the cost for a comment system like that? I have no idea, but maybe it could be done by collecting donations for it? Remember, now there are more users. (And I very much plan to figure out that paypal thingy, since I have no credit cards).

An Open Letter to Arianna, With Deep Sincerity

Excellent letter, Corgi Lover/Felonious Monk. I hope you agree that I use parts of it – while referencing to you – for our planned Emerald series on the HP.

Arianna Huffington Responds

Oh AdLib. How history has proven you to be right!
