The only way I found around the problem was to get a new password every time and to re-log in, and that was not reliable. About a week ago the problem vanished. I do not know if the computer had a belch and removed an internal blockage or if someone here fixed something but, anyway, thanks. I had that same problem, but I emailed steve and, presumably, he fixed it for me because the problem went away. -------------- Evolander in training

On one of the occasions when I was able to get on I posted here but I never saw a response so I assumed it was unfixable. (But thanks to composing this, I've found out why the http key was not working.) -------------- All sweeping statements are wrong.

Richard Simons Posts: 425 Joined: Oct. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Sep. 29 2007,17:58    Steve - I tried e-mailing Wesley but I couldn't do it through this site as it was always insisting I was not logged on. As I recall, at the time getting a new password was not working either. It never allowed me to make more than a single post at the best of times. I found another email address for Wes somewhere but it could easily have been defunct as I got no reply. Although it was frustrating at times, especially when someone was posting idiotic statements, I don't feel upset with anyone as I've done some programming and I know how difficult it can be to sort out problems. -------------- All sweeping statements are wrong.

If anyone else has those kind of problems contact Wesley through his other website http://austringer.net/ A friend of mine had a problem where his account wasn't approved for a month or so. It would be nice if everything worked automatically but bugs and spammers create problems. BTW, has anyone noticed that you no longer get that "You are posting too soon" message? We used to enforce a 2-minute waiting period between comments to hinder spammers, but that's been turned off for a while now.

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Sep. 30 2007,22:49    No idea what made it go up so fast. It was such an inferno that it melted the fronts of 8 nearby cars.

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 01 2007,00:04    There's a little row of trees obscuring the view from my apartment. On the other side is a near building, and a far building where my friend lived. My phone is down momentarily while VirginMobile's customer support fixes a glitch in my account, so last night when I saw the raging fire I was sure it was in the near building because the flames were so huge, it couldn't possibly be at the far building, and there was no phone call to indicate trouble. I was horror-struck today to casually mosey over to her place to take back Harry Potter 7 to her, to find her building a pile of ashes. I found out she was okay, her dad drove here from Ohio, but it was disconcerting to know that at 2 am, while i casually had a cigarette and watched the flames, she was out behind the building with broken ankles and then getting wheeled into an ambulance. We're going to take her some teriyaki Beef Jerkey --her favorite comfort food-- at UNC hospital tomorrow.

Ftk Posts: 2239 Joined: Mar. 2007 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 01 2007,20:54    I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, Steve.  The whole thing sounds awful.  Hopefully she'll heal quickly, and it's nice that you live close by in case she needs anything. -------------- "Evolution is a creationism and just as illogical [as] the other pantheistic creation myths"  -forastero

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 01 2007,21:22    Thanks. The whole thing's just cruel. This happened shortly after she got back into town Saturday from some 5 mile race somewhere. After several more surgeries this week she's going to have to move back to Ohio and learn to walk again. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have some selfish grief that I won't see her for quite a while after that. And now I'll stop hijacking the Board Mechanics thread.

Wes is still monkeying around trying to figure out what's up with me and the BW button, so he may have changed something that caused the re-breakage of your Sexi Hawt Thang.  You may find it rights itself as time wears on and adjustments are made. In the meantime, I'd be happy to copy and paste that to a new thread for you, if you'd care to give me a title/subtitle.  You can feel free to PM me as well, with new threads/comment edits/whatever until you're all straightened out. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas?

Or at least that's what I see from here, so the question mark isn't replacing the button. Henry I can vouch for that, although now my question mark is between the BW button and the delete button. I just ignore it, although in a perfect world it shouldn't be there.  It's probably just a stray character at the beginning of the code that adds those standard buttons.  I'm assuming that the BW button is custom code that appears before the standard buttons code. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas?
