Good Morning

I couldn’t seem to comment even on my own blog! I have banned myself without knowing it. But here was yesterday, and it went surprisingly well.

And here she is, from the patio of the club house.

What a nice change. In many ways.

    And after I click on the little edit button, and then close the window that opens, having edited or not edited the comment, the bigger buttons at the bottom do appear. But look for the little Edit in parentheses.

    And good morning. Having another computer battle trying to rename files and have other programmes respect the program that I used to rename the files and not strip them off and replace them with original crappy file names. So a good but frustrating morning to all.

    The symbols are showing up okay for me in Safari and Opera, but for a few weeks they had gone wonky – things are looking okay from this end, but if WP can’t edit his comments or post pictures then I will be back to the drawing board. I did manage to rename my pictures of mu, escaping from Steve Job’s bubble-wrap as me brother put it, but there are a lot of different systems competing to get from my computer to yours …

    And good morning, and let’s try and slow that time back down!

    Those guys had such a cheerful way of looking at the passage of time …

    the emoticons do show for me now. i have no new computer art to post, so i will post an old one for a test. very glad to see you back posting 44.

  8. Dryocopus pileatus says:

    i still see no edit option, and i tried posting a picture saved to my computer using the browse feature. also i now don’t see the emoticon options above the comment box.

  9. xty says:

    DP what browser are you using? Let me know and I will see what it looks like from my end. Both Safari and Opera are showing up fine. Pete do you have an edit button or the word edit in parentheses after the date and time?

    And good morning.

  10. xty says:

    Now I am mystified. I opened the blog in Firefox, which an internet fairy whispered might be the right browser to try, and all the emoticons are there and both edit buttons, top and bottom.

  11. xty says:

    And once posted just the top little edit button …

    and once edited?

    The bottom buttons appear.

  12. Dryocopus pileatus says:

    i use Firefox. i do at no point see an edit option. i do initially see the emoticons above the comment box.

  13. Dryocopus pileatus says:

    now that i have already posted i no longer see the row of emoticons above the comment box. i see no edit option on my last post.

  14. xty says:

    I fiddled around a bit … not sure where comment preview went but things are displaying fine in Firefox from my end.  I don’t know what else to try.

     

  15. xty says:

    :mrgreen: these are not functioning, but there is a certain comic appropriateness to the size of monsieur vert! But this is me using Firefox and editing the comment. Hmnnn. I have checked the settings and upped the edit time to two hours. But I will keep fiddling with plugins for a bit so things might look odd.

  16. xty says:

    :mrgreen: 💡 👿 ❓

  17. xty says:

    💡 sure looks different on the Firefox screen, but the emoticons seem to be working.

  18. xty says:

    And then once I posted that they all vanished from the next reply form. In Firefox. Let me bore you all silly by seeing if they also vanish in Safari and Opera.

  19. xty says:

    The mystery of the vanishing emoticons!

  20. xty says:

    They come back with a reload, but my angry red guy turned into a flat monster!

    I don’t think the point of getting the boat was to turn us into alcoholics … but it sure was nice last night to chill in the bar and chat with our new boat-like-minded folks. We think we found the leak that was getting into the floor of the “head” which is actually more of a port-middle. The captain cut a hole (yes, with a terrifying circular drill saw head thing that cut a perfect circle about four inches in diameter) into the strange raised floor in there and the foulest odour – and I think as a mum I have really smelt a lot of foul odours – rose up and as the brave captain shopvaced the space I actually had to flee. I cannot believe the boat didn’t smell horrible before … and soon it will be fine. But it was most astonishing and drove us to drink. At least that is my excuse. And now we are going to go and tidy up and get it re-folded so we can get put wherever we are meant to get put for the season, but I think we might be able to get a water spot which would be super cool. The goal is in the water by the weekend of June 13th. 😎

    maybe the problem is with my computer. the trouble is that i don’t post at any other sites anymore so i have no logical process of elimination to try.

    i just noticed the song of the day though. now that i can dig. :mrgreen:

  24. Dryocopus pileatus says:
