Memos for MentalBlock (our tech)

Can't get the shout box to display stuff I type in without refreshing.

I had this problem when I hadn't got flash installed. Then it was fine after flash installed. Now it isn't although flash is still installed. I have flash "permitted" in my firewall but my firewall has been playing up so I can't tell if there's a problem here or there.

Anyone else having to refresh?

Edit:  aha! it did display my message immediately just then. I wonder if the ten second refresh is too slow?  But I need to investigate more at my end. I think my browser refresh is playing up (or rather down) and also I'm not getting the sound when someone shouts. Tedioso.

[Opsa]

I've never been able to get the sound going. Any suggestions?

So many people are having problems with the shout box I am looking at other shout boxes.

The sound requires flash. 

Doing anything in AJAX, as the shout box does, requires Java.

Tell me what your browser, Java version and OS is and I will see what I can do.

Let me know if you see any Java errors on the site.

Thanks,
MB

Hi,

Is there anyway of checking who sends you a smite or applaud?

Someone has sent me a smite, but I have no idea why or from who. 

[ivor]

I don't think there is.

Bad luck Dave. Wasn't me, I'd have sent you ten

YArrrrr...

That's what I'd expect from a fellow pirate.

I thought it was my 'Cats that look like Hitler Thread' I posted. Obviously

a) Someone doesn't like cats;
b) Someone doesn't like Hitler (wow that's gonna narrow it );
c) Both

Well as the recipient of the first negative Karma, all I can say is "Wow, that hurt"

You aren't.
You weren't.
Not by a long shot.

If you move down a few posts on the first page of the Haiku thread (for example) you may see something that might amuse you...

Blessings Sibling Quasimodo,

Thanks for that. I've never seen so much smiting as that particular sibling.

I shall accept my single smite with much humility.
