This is a HANG IN THERE from MMM…

In short, it’s a royal pain in the arse, but it will work.  :light:

I know it’s frustrating, but we’ll get there. Have patience people. We are are stronger when we stick together, and if a glitchy new website is causing people to lose it, then we’ve got bigger problems.

Yay!

in there.

Debugging a large unfamiliar code base can be a nightmare.

There should be a Word Press support forum for those that have to wrangle their software.

“Hi, I’m xxxx, and I work at jackpineradicals.com”

“Hello xxxx!”

“My troubles started when I began to saw the hue and cry from those not able to post”

<heads nod>

” I hear that!”

“Preach it baby!”

….In the event your brain starts to go

Since day one or two (of 3.0) but from where I’m at place looks a lot different from that and as always great stuff from the members.

Good back on.

Patience is a virtue,

possess it if you can,

seldom found in women,

and never in a man!

to the sound of drumming fingers on the desk….

Yep, still here.

never been able to incorporate a item into my original post but that is because at the age of 77 I do not know how and think I am too old to learn. So you are fine by me.

Does the a reply driven by two boxes, go?  Can the program be confused by the two boxes and begin to circle in the hamsters wheel?  Are some of my replies still circling there?

No need to reply as I should take this to Q & A.

Then there is the emoji issue.  If I post an emoji from below the text box, the reply goes through.  My emoji selection is somehow connected to the text box and drives the reply through another carrier pathway that is not stopped by a middleman.

I am choosing an emoji that is represented by :yes:  Lets see if two emojis appear in the posted reply.  By the way, this text box has no cancel button below the text box.

:yes:

and sending positive vibes!

I need this place.

It’s certainly loading faster!

OK I’m in.  Fortunately my lover has been teaching me the value of patience .. can you imagine ..  at the ripe old age of 75, still needing to learn to value patience.

One thing at a time has to be changed and then tested. The IT types have to figure out which plug-ins do exactly what, for example, and the only way to do that is to thoroughly and painstakingly test one at a time. It’s kind of like those chemistry experiments I hated doing back in the day because I’ve never been a scientist.

I did take Philosophy of Science, though, starting with the ancient Greeks and going all the way through the manned space program, so I at least understand the concept of the scientific method. We now have what they call a control group and a test, or experimental group.

None of us know how long it will take before we get a site that works for everyone like we want it to, but we will get there.

Still unable to create an original topic.

Perhaps it is because I put a picture or a twitter link.

Not quite sure what is going on.  Either way, I am mostly lurking till things settle.  Hopefully by mid-year?

I can see the progress you have made. Having taken a time out I have recovered from my frustration. Keep up the good work!
