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 ]

~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 ]
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!

I've read there are other issues that have arisen in my absence, some of which I think I was experiencing before my Air failed, but won't judge until I tried. (I do remember I... [ more ]

CheekyPixieI noticed that !!! LOL It may have been better to call it the 'flaming arguments' board; anyone going on there to argue is effectively admitting they are a troll, and as you implied, no-one is going to admit to that Ergo: I don't see many people 'using' it.

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 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.

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 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 ]
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 ]
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.

It was a wonderful time as we regrouped, bonded and got to know new people and those already in Livecloud's wider community.

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.

We do... [ more ]
Tooth FairyEl Loro - what you are proposing then is a search facility that works? That seems sensible. [ more ]

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingSorry if I've confused the issue.

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 ]

LoriHow weird. That one browser won't let you in, and another will.

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 ]

Stevenmirageuk: No, we don't have a tech solution in place to limit the number of times someone can post to a topic. That's not a feature that would get much use on many communities. Regarding post counts, I don't believe that we will be removing the display of them anytime soon. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

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 ]

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 ]
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 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 ]
Former MemberOh right. Thankyou will do in the future [ 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. Underneath the entry, under that box that has tags, posted to, and ratings, there is a link to forward or report the blog. Just click the report link, and put in a reason for reporting. [ 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 ]
LoriHi, Kaytee: I was hoping it was a momentary thing. You might have tried to log in while backups were running on that machine. Sometimes that results in a problem. [ more ]
KayteeHi Lori...the browsers simply wouldn't connect, no matter how I tried. However, when I tried LC a few minutes ago, I sailed straight in. The only difference being I didn't have Gaga open at the same time. The solution seems to be to open LC first......just some sort of glitch, but it seems OK now thank youxx [ more ]
LoriHi, Kaytee: LiveCloud hasn't had any issues, as far as I can tell. I see people posting away over there... Can you tell me what happens, specifically? Do you get an error message, or what? [ more ]
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
