Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I'm a little helpless on how to go about debugging for that combo, since I don't have any of it. Maybe one of the apple-oid Buffistas can recommend a different browser. I don't even know if you have to be OSX to use Safari
Don't feel helpless. I've actually found that bug to be amusing. I will try Safari if that'll make you feel better.
eta Safari is slow, but it works.
I can duplicate aurelia's issue with 5.2 for Mac OSX, and with 5.1 for OS9.
I also notice it basically sends all Buffistas on an outbound migration ever to the northwest.
First click, Northwest states, from the edge of North and South Dakota on.
Second click, almost everyone is in the state of Washington. Laura may be sitting on Mt. St Helens in Oregon.
Third click moves all Buffistas to the ocean off the Olympic Coast.
Fourth click moves the Buffistas far into the ocean, heading, presumably, for Siberia.
Fifth? Gone.....
Any further clicks have no visible effect, but finding a Fuffista produces a red blinking pin in the left top corner.
How many quotations are in rotation for the RQG in the upper right hand corner?
I've been noticing a larger-than-usual number of repeats today. Some have popped up ten times.
There used to be a bug where the first quote in the file would turn up like 40% of the time, but I haven't noticed it since we relaunched the RQG here.
I'm not completely convinced that the quotes are random (yes, I know that technically they are not. eta - nothing in computers is). But the code that produces the quote is using the standard method to produce a random record in MySQL.
(aurelia: Google research shows that the solution to the problem is to use any other Mac browser. The problem you are experiencing has to do with a bug in IE that I cannot fix from here. Luckily, better browsers are available and free.)
Ah, the gentle chiding instead of a scolding. Thank you Gus. I have no such problem with Safari so I'll only use IE if I feel like watching the Buffistas flee across the map.
Too bad we can't follow them as they migrate.
Yikes. When I hit message center, all I get is the Refresh option from the very bottom of the page.
ETA, I'm logged in and my subscriptions seem to be working properly.
Same here. The main message center area is blank.
