I am a Mod!

A rocker refrain if ever there was one

[Nb. On a few occasions before, and now when I tried to post this one from the 'quick answer box' on the page, instead of posting as per the button, I have been re-directed to the standard posting page and the text I had typed into the box has dissapeared. Has anyone else reported this glitch? It seems to be a recent phenominum.]

Nope, that's a new one on me. I was gonna ask if you used the preview button by accident, but then your text would still be there.

it's always possible I'm doing something [unconciously] wrong that causes it - but it's definitely happened a few times now.

peter calls the quick reply box the 'quick answer box' ... heh ... like replies are the answer to anything.

Edit: worked for me. (Chrome)

Test the quick answer box! (Yep, like wayfriend, I am using Chrome)

Working for me in FireFox. Peter...you're not using IE are you? :p

I've used the Quick Reply box almost exclusively during my nearly-six years on the Watch...mostly through IE.

Stated merely as a data point; neither proud nor defiant about the browser choice. Just the way it is.

How would I know for sure [but I do believe it's IE]; any way - like all problems, as soon as you look for it, it doesn't happen!

If you don't know, (and you're using a PC), then it's IE.

Go to the Help --> About menu option, and it'll tell you what version.

Look at the top left-hand side of your screen. See the line of words? "File - Edit - View - Favorites - Tools - Help". (Yours may vary slightly.

) Click on Help. Then in the drop-down menu, click on "About Internet Explorer".

I think IE might have that menu bar turned off by default, these days.

Post by **Avatar** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 4:18 am

Alt+H should bring it up if the menu bar isn't visible.

(Not that it matters either way...the Watch software is old enough that even IE6 probably runs it fine.

)

Yeah - I think I'll leave it alone; I hate those menue bar things and once I get them up I have a devils own job getting rid of them

there abouts yes.

on every picture we took with me on a ledge Julie kept telling me I was too far out. and a teen girl on crutches would then go out further than I was. I was actually worried for the girl, as she hopped about, mere inches from certain death. I wonder how many people have actually fallen in?

well that answers that.

Nothing but nothing would have got me that close to the edge Sarge! Me and TC has that at least in common - Vertigo!!!!

Julie is terrified of heights. I have no such phobias. I do hate cockroaches beyond reason though.

this seems a good a place as any. I know the modship has been a ceremonial thing. but I do cherish it. and I have not been on here much as of late. hoping that Julie can fix that.

but I miss you guys when I am not here. I am so very glad that I am a part of this weird, wonderful group of people.

that is it. continue on.

We will.

BTW, null I never congratulated you on becoming a mod.

Mainly because I just didn't notice.

And I didn't have any idea that it would be a big deal since I can't think of one reason why you couldn't be one.

Seriously, when they made me a mod then they proved they'd let anyone do this job.

Anyway its like 3 years late but congrats.
