Problem with the SB
« on: February 13, 2008, 12:16:48 PM »
Apparently, when I post in the SB, some of my posts are not visible to me, but they are to others.   :mental:

"write only" mode -- it is a new feature.

 :whatever:

Never mind.  I think the problem was with the particular computer I was using at the library.  :hammer:  It seems to be okay if I switch to another computer.

Is it just my dyslexic self (cross-wired to overcompensate) or does it seem backwards (considering how most of us read from top to bottom) to anyone else that the newest comments in the Shoutbox are on top?

Alternatively, am I missing the means of customizing the display for myself? It just seems very hard to jump into a "conversation" that you're having trouble following in the first place without scrolling in reverse. And then you can't hold on to your place and scroll back up without it refreshing.

Can't really do anything about that as there's no setting to reverse the way it runs. As for keeping up, I always disable refresh until I'm caught up. Once you post, refresh is enabled again.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I wish there was some way to view archive posts for the ShoutBox.

Even just storing a couple of days worth and then "recording over" them.

Thanks-I'll give that a try.
