QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SITE - Page 71

I'm having a weird problem with some aspects of posting to the Cellar. When I create a new thread or reply to a post, none of the buttons seem to work on the form for creating a post. You click on them and they do nothing. I can't insert image links, do youtube embedding, insert one of the smilies, etc. And in the "attach files" box, the button to click to attach files doesn't even exist.

This is in Firefox 3.6.3 on my work computer. My home PC works fine and I think it's got the same version of Firefox.

If I switch over to Chrome on my work PC, everything works fine.

Any idea what is going on? I let the computer update Shockwave in the last few days. That's the only thing different I can think of.

Does this mean anything obvious? These are the errors I found when I open a Cellar reply window. I don't understand any of this stuff. I may have to switch to Chrome for the Cellar.

How long are post stored?

Undertoad · 05-27-2010, 01:54 PM

I'd love to say forever, but once I die, there'll be about three months of unanswered invoices until they pull the plug on the cage.

Oh come on, surely you have the datacenter information and account number written into your will? Someone would take care of it.

They would have to figure out how the tip jar works, otherwise my assets won't cover the bill.

Since that thread is linked from the current IotD it may be spiders indexing.

I have a question...

... How long has this website been running? (Or, rather; How old is the oldest post on this forum?)

Also - Did the forum come, before the IotD? Or after?

So many questions.

I love this forum, and the IotD... Been browsing both, for years, 'til I finally took the plunge, and became a member. Y'all were very intimidating, somewhat like an elitist "old boys" club... Some of you still seem that way, but, for the most part, you're all very kind, incredibly weird individuals.

I think, what I love most about this place... Is that you'll let just about anyone have whatever opinion they want. Everyone has a home, and no one is left out, or even (fully) shunned, by the community.

... 'cept Republicans... But, then, that's their fault, isn't it?

God-damn... It's been on-line as long as I have.

... and it's almost as old as me!

Cellar, I salute you.
