El LoroWhether the BBC will reply to me is a different matter as it reflects poorly on them. It may be down to the government restricting the BBC's income by freezing the licence fee which people have to pay so there is a political aspect to this. In the UK people have to pay a licence fee to watch television and that fee goes to the BBC as its main source of income. Although the BBC isn't directly controlled by the government, the government does control it to some extent by "negotiating" a... [ more ]
LoriOK, sprout: I can't find anything specific to that issue, but I do wonder if it's an extension on your Chrome. I found this list of troubleshooting steps to take: https://productforums.google.c...c/chrome/626aIaLs2Nw You would start at #4, because you've done everything before that, already. An easy way to see if you even HAVE any extensions is to go here (apologies if you already know this...) [ more ]

LoriI'm sorry I've not responded sooner, but we were on break for the holiday, and I didn't want to bug anyone about this until we all came back, I wanted to confirm my suspicion about this issue: you won't see the editing toolbar on your phone - it doesn't fit very well, without wrapping. Sweet, do you have a 6+ (the larger size) phone? That's the only explanation I can think of for you being able to get the toolbar when you turn it to landscape. [ more ]
El LoroLori, I haven't noticed anything but I'll let moonie know that you've posted, thanks [ more ]
LoriSorry, all, I've been traveling. There were no reports of server issues...although it could have coincided with a brief update or something. Anyone still having issues? [ more ]
El LoroLori, it was Baz who noticed cogs besides moonie. https://www.gagajoyjoy.com/topi...0#459827542068150530 That might help pin down the timimg. [ more ]
El LoroOriginally Posted by Lori: Wow, I didn't even know you could DO that! In iphone/ipad: Select the Settings application/icon on the iPhone home screen. Select Safari on the following screen. Select Advanced , located near the bottom of the following screen. Move the JavaScript toggle to the left to enable (opposite way to disable) [ more ]

El LoroOriginally Posted by Lori: Well, I can't get the error to happen no matter what I do... But I'll take your word for it. If you want to get an error just select a non-graphics file such as a word document though you have to choose all files from the file selector. I've also just made a false graphics file by changing the suffix on a word document file to jpg to make it look as if it's a graphics file. Not surprsingly that produced an error with the popup message Bad Request but as before no link. [ more ]
LoriWell, I can't get the error to happen no matter what I do... But I'll take your word for it. [ more ]
El LoroLori, as EC says when you hover over the error a pop up screen message appears which you could screen shot but it didn't seem to be a link (the message vanished as soon as I moved the pointer away from Error). [ more ]
El LoroThank you Brian. I've just posted at 8.23.00 UK time and it went through without any delays. [ more ]
BrianHi all, This issue should be fixed now! Please let us know if you continue to experience further issues. Thanks for the information and for your patience while we got it sorted Brian [ more ]
TriggersHi El Loro. I have followed your instructions and hopefully won't receive any more email notifications from this site. Thank you ever so much, your help is very much appreciated. [ more ]
El LoroTriggers, I don't think maccihinamak is a member of the Goagajoyjoy forum or of the Hoo.do site (which is where our old dialogs and blogs were in the early days of this forum). If you are able to identify which forum the email notifications are coming from, you should log on to that forum, edit profile (from the little cog icon at the top right next to your avatar, select Your notifications,. You should then see a screen listing various types of notifications and I'm guessing that there will... [ more ]
LoriYeah, that's what I'm thinking. Do you have any add-ons, erin (that you know of)? Seems like this might be a fairly recent issue, although I'm aware that you've just come back to us after being gone for awhile. Have you done anything with your browser to add any capabilities to it? [ more ]
El LoroIt could be something like an add on which is causing the problem. That would explain why erinp has this problem and others don't, [ more ]
LoriI wonder what all this means? I have to think it's a setting in your browser, erin, or something like that. [ more ]
~Sparkling Summer~Thanks Lori as long as there's nothing sinister lurking in there, that's all that matters I'll miss the app but will switch to the mobile version on safari, I'm just happy to still be here [ more ]
LoriI deleted the app from my phone last night--it's only a matter of days, probably, before it quits working completely, Summer. So, yes, we're unlikely to try to fix something on it. [ more ]
LoriHi, Sweet: I'm not sure which you are talking about, since you've mentioned the app: is it the app, or the mobile version on Safari to which you are referring? [ more ]

scatterbyOriginally Posted by ~Sweet Summer~: *resists the urge* Noooo - you dare [ more ]
El LoroSounds like there is a faulty driver or device which is malfunctioning. System restore may sort the problem out if it's caused by a faulty driver but not if it's a device. Almost certainly something which needs the laptop being checked by a computer technician. The standard method of working out what the problem is to run the laptop in safe mode to see if it works OK. Then each device is disabled in turn to check if it's that which is causing the problem. I found this on a microsoft page... [ more ]

El LoroI have discovered that clearing my browser cache seems to have sorted out the problem. I also reset my browser to its default state (I use Firefox). [ more ]
El LoroTed has confirmed on the Social Strata help forum they are looking into this. It is probable that it is the activity streaming widget which is causing the problem. [ more ]
El LoroI have just tried this again on the first 2 links and was able to get through though it took longer than normal. Still error message on the activity stream one. I have created a thread on the Social Strata help forum for this. I think the problem may be with the activity stream as the first 2 pages (which are the same) now includes a summary of the stream. [ more ]
El LoroIf the administrators here that this is a good idea, people would need to have some idea as to height and width limits as some graemlins/gremlins/smileys/emoticons are rather large. Also there is a potential copyright issue on some of these - we mustn't build into the available pool of graemlins here any which are copyrighted to another website or owner. [ more ]
LoriOK, thanks, El Loro. I'll pass it on. [ more ]
El LoroLori, after several days where there hasn't been a problem, I have noticed myself that the slow connection to some threads such as the Buddies has reappeared over the past few hours. I'm still able to get through but it is taking much longer than normal. [ more ]
El LoroThanks, Lori - it just seems as if it's got a lot worse for Sweet today. [ more ]
LoriAs I said in the other thread, El Loro's post enabled me to find the bug report in our system, and I've added these issues to that report. Still would like to know which version of IE Aquarius and cologne are using. [ more ]

LoriHow weird. That one browser won't let you in, and another will. Makes me think it's something to do with the browser itself (although that doesn't explain the TV, does it? ) I can tell you that the changes we made the other day had nothing to do with logins or passwords. I'll ask around, though. Maybe someone here has an idea.... [ more ]
LoriI think it'd be great if folks started using it again. It's not connected to Gaga, though, so might not be top of mind. It was so fun when you guys discovered it! [ more ]
TriggersAww thanks Lori! I was remembering how we all started our lives here. It was a wonderful time as we regrouped, bonded and got to know new people and those already in Livecloud's wider community. How cute was it to ask a friend to be a buddy or be invited to be someone else's?! Thanks for my link - it was nice to go back - and how brilliant that I can visit my buddies' sites as well through my own page! I hope all is well with you and your loved ones, take care, and thanks again. x [ more ]

XochiI've just re-read and now realise that my issue was about that site listed at the beginning of my topic. However, I do remember I'd had a problem with the in-house smileys before. So that problem's deffo fixed! But just trying that link I posted to the other smiley site doesn't work now, so I guess it was in the middle of a computer tail-spin when I had that problem. I'm tooo scared to go delving into other smiley sites as I guess they're all phishing type ones? Any recommended ones would be... [ more ]
XochiHello again! You can't believe how the evil Aztec God of Computer Crap has struck me recently! My MacBook Air also crashed!

BazI am on a Mac Airbook right this minute Xochi, and it is working fine.... but like El Loro says it could be that you need to update either your operating system, or your Safari As for everything else, I have been using mine (well catually it's Mr Baz's ) for about a year and have no probs with either the forum, or the battery life Hope you can sort it out [ more ]
El LoroI hear from Zaphod that you have been having problems with being able to post at all. It may be that you need to update your Mac operating system and your Safari browser. I have found these links for recent versions which may help. Mac OS X v.10.6.6 Safari 5.0.3 [ more ]
El LoroAs another member and I don't have a MAC I can't help that much, but as far as the plugin for embedded videos are concerned this refers to the need to have Flash Player installed. This is a link to the Adobe download page for Flash Player . On my computer it automatically recognises which computer system I use, so hopefully this will be the same for you. Manually you can select MAC operating system OS X v 10.4-10.6, so provided a MAC Airbook uses this, it should work. I think Seattle are... [ more ]
Former MemberThanks Loro. Yes, I've had a look in my settings but as you say can't find anything either [ more ]
El Lorosprout, I am not aware of a way of going this, but the people at Seattle may know of a way. On the Social Strata help forum there is a post which indicates that it is possible to do what you want via your Profile settings, but I've had a look at my Profile settings and can't see such an option. It may be they were talking about your own avatar which you can delete, but that's not what you mean. [ more ]
El LoroIt looks according to the Social Strata help forum that work is continuing on this search facility. They hope to have something in place in the next but one update sometime at the end of February/beginning of March. The search parameters will look something like the advanced search facility in Google and this picture has been posted there. I do not know if this will be the same for Gagajoyjoy - but it could well be similar. [ more ]
El LoroTooth Fairy, I posted my suggestion over on the Social Strata help forum and have had this reply from Brian Lenz, one of their software engineers. The current behavior that you describe of only original posts being searched when using refine list is correct and intentional. Since all the feature does is refine the list of topics/blogs, if we included replies in that search, it wouldn't be useful to include replies since the replies would not be highlighted in the list in any manner. We do... [ more ]
Tooth FairyEl Loro - what you are proposing then is a search facility that works? That seems sensible. [ more ]
El Lorobrisket, I did see on the Social Strata technical forum that the next update is expected to be rolled out in the week starting 7 February. As another user I have no knowledge as to what will be included in this update, but I am hoping that the proposed changes to the quoting function will be in this. The only info I have is as per my post of 16 December as above. If Seattle are looking in, perhaps they could give us some details as to what to expect. [ more ]
brisketJust wondering if there is any news of the new release which may correct the inability to quote on IE. Is it imminent? Many thanks. [ more ]

LoriOK. They've found the error, but it won't be fixed until the next release (not very long now until that happens--maybe a couple of weeks?) Sorry about that! [ more ]

LoriHi, onetoo: I see a LOT of tweets by a new user, but they don't look like spam (although I understand that is a matter of perspective. ) If you see one that looks like real spam (out-and-out commercial advertising, or pornography), go to the blog.

Former MemberI am most disappointed with the latest upgrade. The tweets have taken over the entire blog list. Instead of a section with the latest posts (which we can see while in the forum) why couldn't that section have been used for tweets? I thought it was just me that was annoyed with the tweets, but I did a poll http://talk.gagajoyjoy.com/dis...t/127522186362392581 and the vast majority of respondents agree that the tweets are annoying. [ more ]
KayteeI agree with I like to follow members' blogs and am finding it virtually impossible [ more ]
Former MemberIt's not so much the alerts and ticker, but the endless display of tweeter blog posts that are on the main page. Is there a way to have those in a seperate place? Sometimes I want to read a blog and it disappears from the main page almost soon as it's written, only to be replaced by twitter posts. [ more ]
littleleicesterfoxSpot on, Do you know I've been through that thread so many times looking for them! *blushes furiously* [ more ]
Former MemberLLF, I did a bit of looking around, and I *think* I see the "invisible posts" you are referring to. (linked below) I think what is happening is that while you are typing your reply, other people are doing the same. When you post your reply several others come in before yours. So, when you refresh the page the original reply you are referring to has pushed up the page (or possibly to the previous page) in relation to yours. So it looks like they've disappeared. Here's the permalink to the... [ more ]
CroctacusI can't find a way of doing it....but I know something is coming so you can filter out the Twitter stuff so maybe when it does the blogs will stay on the page longer...but if its a blog you have already posted in the any subsequent posts should bring it up on your ticker. Other that that I dunno... [ more ]
