Well, it's weird. I don't seem to have access to the copy or paste buttons, and there doesn't seem to be any way to add undo or redo. And I logged into the support site and they don't have any of those buttons, so this is part of the extension that is written by a private individual who is unpaid. For this, anyway, I'm sure he gets paid for something, he's a wizard.

Anyway, on the bright side, I learned something new, we have copy and paste buttons.

Glad I could help!

I WANT MY ICONS

and it was on the internet so it must be true

I actually did see a pic of my wishes when looking thru some threads at phpbb. Could not locate it again but it may have been about the inclusion of the CEDITOR or the CKEDITOR editors, they have functionality going further than the standard editor.

Would be on my holidays wishlist, cause I just happened to disappear a complete prepared and edited post just before submitting, cause the touchscreen detected my touching the virtual keyboard with the side of my hand. happened several times lately

[northland10]

There are copy and paste buttons?

WHO KNEW?

I never noticed them before. I always did the press and hold thing on my Android to do that.

I also never noticed or took a look at what the "float text" does, until now.

Any idea why the board has been timing out the last 3 days?

Any idea why the board has been timing out the last 3 days?

yeah, same Q. I thought it might be on my end, but everything else still worked.

[Foggy]

I rebooted the server. Let me know if there are still any issues.

Doing it again this morning.

Had a couple of dropouts over the last few hours, TFB "not reachable".

Had a couple of dropouts over the last few hours, TFB "not reachable".

[Foggy]

I think it's fixed.

[sugar magnolia]

I think it's fixed.

The last time it happened for me was about an hour ago.

[Foggy]

Yeah, and it happened to me (finally) so I was able to get a tech to track it down.

We think.

Hi Master! Would you please check the status of the Twitter embed extension. On my end in the Chrome broswer in Windows it cannot load the tweets, says it is not available / deleted. But when I follow the link to Twitter I get to see it. On the Android tablet shows just fine. Note: it may be that Twitter changed some things on their side cause when I try to look at a tweet it often also says notfound until I reset my AdBlock options for the site.

[scirreeve]

FWIW I am Chrome/Windows too and can see the embedded tweets just fine.

[RTH10260]

hmm - AdBlock too effective?

[scirreeve]

I also use AdBlock on the tweeter.

[Foggy]

Yeah, well, lo and behold.

'Course, I can't fix that thing, I have no idea how it even works. But I can check for a new version of the extension, and install it if'n there is one.

So I checked.

There's a new version.

I'll install it later on today.

[Foggy]

Done, but not promising any particular improvements.

[RTH10260]

Thanks for the effort, but sadly no improvement on my end.

And direct Twitter links continue to behave flaky, show sometimes but mostly need repeated reload or toggling of the AdBlock option.
Challenging my brain cells.

I had a major problem with seeing tweets on Oldbow. It was intermittent. I could go weeks seeing them, then weeks not seeing them. I just got used to it. I'm on Firefox. On the Fogbow reincarnation, I have only once, recently, had a problem seeing them, and that lasted only a few hours.

I can never see anything that anyone posts from Facebook, but I'm pretty sure that's because I keep my account on a really tight leash. I just scroll on by.

I think phpBB and Android Firefox have a love-hate relationship.

On my Android tablet with Firefox, for the most part, Fogbow works OK, but occasionally part of the text message is blanked out in some iteration of a rectangle. If I do a 'two finger stretch' to change the font size, the 'hidden' text reappears, or if I do a message quote it appears in the new post preview window. I have been attributing this behaviour to my tablets low memory condition - I may get a new tablet or try a factory reset to see if that restored memory that the OS has allocated and lost.

Tweets usually appear as a hot spot text label that says 'loading tweet'. Then if I click on that label, the tweet loads in the Twitter App. That is acceptable behaviour as far as I'm concerned because it prevents loading tweets that I don't care about (which is most of them actually).

However, on another phpBB based forum I read, tweets just don't appear at all (still Android Firefox). The posts containing the tweet are empty of content other than the standard author name and date and such like. I can only get to the tweet if I quote the post and then copy the http code from the text in the preview window and paste it into the address bar. And that is a pain in the backside. (I got called a 'boomer' for complaining about this in the other forum! )

My thinking is currently that this is not a memory problem, since it is fine in one forum and not the other. Rather, I suspect that the underlying 'theme' is broken in the non-Fogbow forum.

Also I haven't checked if any of this happens with Chrome.

We've had a really big problem at The Fogbow for a long time. People always ask, "Why doesn't The Fogbow have a Theme Song?" It's been a huge issue. But...

Found it! This is perfection, wait till you hear it -- it's just what Foggy always wanted The Fogow to represent. It's the one and only Edith Massey, John Waters' muse in Pink Flamingos, Polyester and so many more films. Check out the awesome DRAGNET sample! Delighted to have found it to share with y'all. Presenting...

I GOT THE EVIDENCE! · Edith Massey & The Evidence

Edith Massey Live on the Sunset Strip
℗ 2009 Longderson Publishing ASCAP
Released on: 2009-03-09

"You bastard, I'm gonna put you AGAINST the wall!" "I've got more information than the FBI!"




The legal sounds and lyrics of the Evidence track were the decider, but it was really, really hard -- Edie's version of FEVER blows Peggy Lee and Eartha Kitt out of the water! If you think Sinatra and Tony Bennett are masters of phrasing, think again: Edie tops them. "I'm better in my 50's than I ever was at Sweet 16!" "I'm a bouncing ball of fire... never idle, never low." "You don't have to be a blabberpuss or a beauty queen" "Whip it out and go to town -- this Red Hot Mama needs coolin down!" "Hi, you Cocktail Cowboys from the Dive Corral"

Edie's inimitable version of FEVER:

Bonus: Here's the FULL 27 MINUTE LIVE SET! And it kicks off with Edie's classic dialogue from the movie Pink Flamingos with the Egg Man! This has her biggest hit: "Hey Punks, Get Off The Grass!"

Actress Edith Massey, scene stealer from film director John Waters' movies such as "Pink Flamingos" and "Polyester," is in fine form on this wonderful 'EP.' "Fever" is great fun [Peggy Lee, eat your heart out] and the legenday "Punks, Get Off The Grass" sounds,to me, way better here than it did on the studio cut. I especially enjoyed Edie bantering with the audience, though brief, it brought to mind some of the moments that are in the Edith Massey DVD 'A Love Story.' This woman was so REAL, even in a setting like the Whiskey A Go-Go, she comes across as that 'favorite relative' most of us wish we knew back in the day. Five Stars on this one, folks.

I love Edith Massey! To the point that I wish she was alive and was my aunt or something! I mostly love the way she talks! Her intonation and stresses are all over the shop in such a joyously delightful way, that it's always a pleasure to listen to. Of course her strained tones aren't going to be to everyones taste. I bought this CD without even hesitating to look at it properly, and my only disapointment upon receiving it was that it only has four songs. Did she really only perform four? The CD insert has no information. Obviously I could do a google search, but I cant be bothered, also I like to wonder about some things. All in all a great CD to buy for Edith Massey fans, (her verson of Fever is worth the asking price alone) even though it leaves me wanting so much more!
Eggs eggs eggs!!!

It's free on Amazon Music too also.

Abbondanza! You all are most welcome!

Yeah, "I've got the evidence" is great.

"Fever" not so much but maybe that's just me.

If there is one thing that John Waters can teach us is that taste is in the mouth of the eater.

Chrome seems to be just fine. I may have just been turned to the 'dark side'.

I have always been a fan of Firefox, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
