Title: Problem with the SB
Post by: Chris_ 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.

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.

Next time clear cache.

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.

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.
