Is it me or are some of these threads messed up?

Like this one - that MattShizzle began.

http://www.rationalresponders.com/forum/14169

 

I can access what seems to be the first page up to entry #27...then nada.  No page forward function.  No access to the hundreds of posts that follow.

 

I tried to alert the 'admin' or 'mod'...no response.  Maybe I went about it incorrectly. 

 

I have to ask myself...WTF is up with that?  I'm actually going to try the 'subscribe' option and see what happens.  Maybe my PC will implode.

"A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes"...James Feibleman (1904-1987)

I know this thread is mainly IE6 vs IE7 vs FireFox and learning how to view the website but I have a question in slightly other vein....

Does anyone know why some of the posting comment features don't work....features like strikethrough etc.

A few days ago there was one day when the spell check didn't work but then the next day it was fine again. Nice to use when I can remember.

Any ideas?

I kind of suspect it's a simple mismatch between what the site reports you can do, and what it actually lets you do. The CSSs may specifically disallow certain text decorations, too, but I've not looked.

That's a very pretty window decoration. Where'd you get it, what's it called? Are you using KDE?

It's the Watercolor Emico

It's the Watercolor Emico Blue Windows theme for the window border of Opera, while Opera is using the Tango Clearlooks skin, hence the reason you thought I was running Linux. I'm not aware of anything like it on Linux.

(I was an Ubuntu user for a few months and it's overall a nice operating system. I liked Gnome more than KDE and the others, having a nice mixture of functionality, intuitiveness, minimalism, and attractiveness. Linux lacks features that Grammar Nazis, like myself, find indispensable though. There's nothing remotely similar to StyleWriter and it won't run under Wine. Unicode characters—like the em dash I'm using to set this statement apart—are unnecessarily difficult to type. OpenOffice does not give readability statistics. All these things added up to a major annoyance. I quickly jumped ship to Windows XP SP3, where I was before. I truly hope Ubuntu stops using the theme in their latest alpha though. Ugh!)

Ahh. Yeah, the Tango icons made me think it was Linux.

I had no idea that folks were making window decorations/themes for Windows. That's nifty, and I know a certain Windows box nearby that'll be getting a pretty new theme in the near future. =^_^=

Have you voiced your concerns on the OOo site? I've been one of many pointing out such shortfalls and I'm hopeful they'll get 'em covered.

I never got around to

I never got around to telling the OpenOffice folk, though I'm sure they've heard the complaint many times by now.
