Technical questions

Wow! this is nice , so springy

Aw, Katiedot, they are lovely! Sooooo much nicer than the incessant wind-driven rain pattering the panes here. Luckily, Irene has been fairly well-behaved, not a lady by any means (no matter how negotiable her affection), but not a vile fury either.
Good wishes for all in her path---

ops

rainbows! ....not flags.... sorry

yes

How pretty...thanks!

Are we keeping these floating things for long? Does anyone else feel motion sickness?

Don't know if anyone else is affected but these beautiful falling images are delaying responses on my computer. I'm not complaining, I am a patient person. LOL

This flotsam is driving me nuts. Is it staying long?

It's very pretty but it drops down too far and it makes it very difficult to read sometimes.

Don't worry, it - like Irene - was a weekend whirl and is now gone. Luckily this site doesn't need the same cleanup that the USA is going to need.

Well Katie, what about when George wins Best Director and/or Best Actor this coming awards season, you could do confetti to celebrate his successes. And the holidays are coming up, so I'm sure there will be occasions to use it then too.

I thought it was a very cute idea to spruce/change things up once in a while but like ello, I don't think I could live with it on a daily basis. Thank you for the rainbows, flowers and butterflies, it did lift the spirits around here I think.

It did for me, I liked it! I agree Lighter, Katie can we have confetti and snowballs and christmas trees and christmas lights, and...?

Sorry I missed it! You did something like that last year - Easter I think.

FYI: FOR EVERYONE. Don't know if anyone else has noticed, but this forum is now pre-set to leave spaces after a quote and paragraphs.

So, no need to add your own.



See the big gap just above when you add a normal space (an extra "enter" that we are all use to doing) between a paragraph.

So, just hit "enter" once to start a new paragraph and the Forum will do the spacing. Will make for easier reading.

Good to know sis. I'll rememer that.

LOL, another thing I noticed is if one makes edits to a comment right after posting, you don't have to give a reason for editing as a "current" edit is not noticed by the Forum and no one will even know. Once I've actually made 3 edits in a row after posting a comment and Forum still didn't notice. However, if after a few minutes one makes edits, the Forum will note in your date line that an edit was made; but, not what the edit was unless one fills in the Reason Box.

Whaaaa!?? I'm still cleaning up bits of broken rainbows and flower petals from my screen and now you ask me this!??

Seriously, yep happy to. But not until December.

I can wait! I found a couple broken rainbows in my coffee cup, but that's okay!

Ha! I just noticed the flotsam has gone. It can't have been driving me that nuts I guess.

Ah, December is so far away! There I was hoping for another surprise... how about something thematic to the forum?

six-foot poles interspersed with the diametrically opposed kissy lips representing those who would never and those who so would?

Cascades of man-bits swinging left... or right?

How about if he wins in Venice, a parade of golden lions? Pretty please with petal parts and rainbow sugar on top?

Aw, seeing as you asked so nicely, maybe I can come up with something if George wins . . .

Happy to decorate the forum on an ad hoc basis but as it slows the site down I promise to take the falling stuff down after about 24 hours when we've all had a chance to ooh and aaah and then get really annoyed by it. Or nauseous.

Boy, I go away for a couple of days and we get butterflies, rainbows and flowers. Well, where are they? I want some too. Tell me how to get some.

Patty, katiedot set them up but she already removed them. They were beautiful, next time!

She had some fun stuff for Easter last year, too. Or, something for Spring. It was funny, though, like bombs dropping out of the sky.

Still can't find a way to log in for chat, went to bottom of home page looked for a log in etc. all that happens for me is a disconnected message appears.

Lucy, I'm at a library computer that won't allow me to copy/paste from websites. But, in Aug Chit Chat, I posted how to log in. Its hard because of the forum coloring.

Hi Katie!
I bought the Brazilian Hola mag with Clooney and Stacy on the cover. Inside there is the pics from "ET online". I made the scans put I don't know how to put the scans here!
Thanks

Hi Marina

You need to save them in an online picture site (such as photobucket) and then follow the instructions how to upload them here, or just email them to me and I'll put them up for you.

My email: clooneysopenhouse at gmail dot com

Thank you, katie!
Sent you an e-mail. It's late so tomorrow I'll find and make an account on a pics site!

Is there a reason why I keep getting logged out? Started yesterday...

Hi Merlin, I have this same problem, if I don't move cursor for some time I am logged out.

It's happening to me also. I have to keep signing in.

Ditto, here, Katie. This is the first time I've gotten on without logging on since yesterday. Hope that means problem is fixed. If so, thank you so much.

Not fixed for me. I have had to log on both days. Freaked me out!!!

I find that if you log on with the drop box when you first enter the site, you get booted off. If you log in under the left hand side and select the log me in box as well, then it seems to stick. Been going on for quite some time, but thought it was just me!!

I'm fine now - came straight in!! YAY!!

Thanks Fluffy, it works

Ok, good to hear it's back up and running properly again.

Katie, when you are here (or anyone here as well)... Is there a place where I can get help about PMs please? I got this message on my email inbox, saying I have a PM here, but I find I really don't have any...
Besides... what is the "outbox" / "sentbox" equation? What is the process...? Sorry about so many questions... I guess I must read up the books someplace
Thanks much in anticipation people

Hi Pari, when I open COH there is a bar on top that says either You Have No Messages or You Have 1 Message, etc. Click on that and it'll get you to the message. Then you go to Inbox. Hope that helps.

Pari, many times I got this same message on my email box, every time was just add like: "you won IPod, congratulations, etc." It just takes a long time before it will open for you. "Sentbox" PMs which you sent, and ''Outbox" holds all your PMs's. I hope I am correct.

Thank you Cindigirl and Zizi
Yes... I got the Inbox part... I see the PMs leave via the Sentbox... but there is an Outbox as well... Is this the one that indicates that the message has REALLY reached the person??? Not sure of it there

Also Zizi... the email I received is about my receiving a PM... but when I looked for it... it was not anywhere to be found in the box/es... Hence was wondering
Thanks to you both again for your help ...

Pari, the Inbox in where you want to read the message(s) sent to you. If the person you sent a PM to responds it will be in the Inbox and the top bar will tell you that you have messages.

Thank you again Cindigirl I guess I will have to wait the next time (I receive a PM) to check this out

What does it mean when you go to post a comment and a red message comes up something to the effect of "road control active on the forum, please wait 60 seconds to post"
What's 'road control' and what does it do? I'm supposing the reference is to heavy traffic on the site?

Road control? It used to say 'flood control'. You can only post once every 60 seconds; it's a safety thing set up to slow down or irritate spammers who can flood a site like this unchecked.

mine still says "flood" control. It's a pain in the butt, but I do understand. Sometimes my fingers are just too fast!!

"Road control" sounds much more interesting though.

this site !

Can someone please tell me how to post a video with the actual video showing on the page instead of just the link name?

Thanks in advance.

CindiGirl, when you go to a video (especially on YouTube), there is a "share" button beneath the video. When you click on that you can email or "embed". Click "embed" and then a bunch of symbols, etc will appear. Right click on that window - copy - then come to your comment and right click - paste. All the garbage stuff will show up on your post until you hit send. When your comment posts, it will show the video. I hope this is clear enough. I think I confused myself...
