    back hurts.

    Hope that gets better soonest. Have you tried putting an ehating pad on it?

    I took my brain out  to see if I could figure out why it was hurting. Now I can't get it back in my head. It's just one **** thing after another. frown

    I do not have an ehating pad so no.

    Hey! Whatever kept me from getting in here seems to have put my avatar where it belongs rather than sticking my name in there! Yay!

    ETA: Still not seeing all those editing tools for posting that Ann has shown screenshots of but this is an improvement.

    They said they would stop spidering sites that weren't "mobile ready". A lot of places like this rely on people stumbling across them while using Google so Daz need Google to continue spidering them even though it can slow the forums and store to a crawl when the spiders swarm in.

    It's been said that during our whole lives we're never more than 5 feet away from a spider.  Google just moved them to our pockets. 

    ...glad I don't have a Google compatible phone.

    It looks like I am stuck in source view, at least for the time being.

    That may be solvable as well with some poking around. The funny part is the spell check is working even though paragraphs don't do so automatically.

    ...for me it's the opposite,  Paragraphs work (and I'm on an older version of FF as the newer ones bloat in memory on my notebook to the point the browser stalls then crashes), but FF's auto spell doesn't unless I toggle to "soruce".

    ...and I have to do so each time I write a new comment.

    The one issue with the source mode is any word that is a contraction or a possessive which uses the ' character gets a code of "#39;" so the entire word shows as a spelling error.

    Oh and another new annoyance I just discovered, when I attempt to cut or copy text (using the icons in the window banner) I now get a stupid error popup that says my browser security settings "don't permit the editor to automatically execute cutting (or copying) functions".  Say what? this wasn't an issue yesterday and I haven't changed any FF security settings.

    No, but the site has been updated. Now I can see both my avatar and your flutterbys. I couldn't see either earlier.

    ...sounds like once again what should be a simple task is now buggered by an update.

    This whole change has been so inconsistent across the board between different users. For some this works but that doesn't while for others that works but this doesn't. When the store site was moved to Magento it was said that there were things the software couldn't handle the the old PHP software could. Now the same is occurring here in the forums. Far more hoops to jump through than I've seen in any other forum.

    It's getting to the point that pretty soon I feel I'm going to have to just give in and write all my responses in Word and then block copy/paste them to the forum, thus adding yet another extra layer to a process that which used to be so bleedin' simple.

    Again I ask how is all this an "improvement" to the "User Experience".  I would think you want to make things simpler for your users, not more difficult, time consuming, and troublesome.

    I think in some ways they don't have much of a choice. What I'd prefer to see is a dual use setup like some sites have where people using actual computers instead of internet toys can opt out of the mobile ready format and get a standard computer one. I;ve seen several like that.

    Perhaps we'll get lucky and when they've got the problems mostly taken care of they can work on implementing that type of arrangement. We'll just have to wait and see.

    ...I'd be for that.

    Magento was a bad mistake from the get go three years ago (I have a number of friends in the web development business that said it was the worst choice in website software a company like Daz could ever have chosen, in one case, likening it to choosing a Yugo over a Honda).

    The internet toys have made life a total pain for those of us who use "real" computers. I've seen so many sites change to a more "mobile friendly" UI without thinking about those who still use notebooks and desktops.  I'd rather spend the cost of a tablet on upgrades for my current system and would like to see a Surface or iPad try and render a complex scene in Iray without being reduced to a puddle of plastic and silicon goo.

    ...bugger, I want my FF spellcheck to work without any extra clicking each time I write a new comment.

    Not a complaint: I have lemon sorbet.

    Even less of a complaint: I'm having lemon sorbet and raspberry sorbet in a same bowl and eating them.

  • AmaltheaAmalthea Posts: 224
    Good morning. :)

    Lemon and raspberry sound like a great combo.

    In and out at random, that's how it goes. A bit like a cat by the door.

    Possibly least complain-y thing ever: I just had a bowl of fresh strawberries, right off the field, ripe and tender. Y'all may envy me now.

    Ooh  yes.  I heartstrawberries.  Luckily our local village shop stocks locally grown strawberries so I don't have to rely on the ones from supermarkets.  We normally have them with some local Welsh/Italian icecream, made with real welsh milk and Welsh cream, not the dried stuff most icecream makers use.

    Rumours of snow in the suburbs here. Iz quite cool for us but can't see any snow, just the odd star or two peeking thru overcast.

    And I'll bet the Welsh word for ice cream has 20 consonants and 2 vowels. devil

    A lot of Italians came here and settled, they are Welsh Italians, and still make traditional ice cream, (well some of them do)  Ice cream made the proper way with real ingedients instead of dehydrated stuff.  Expensive, but delicious.   http://www.mariosicecream.com/    and yes we do have some cows as well as sheep and welsh ponies wandering around on the Mountains and down into the valleys.
