Newsvine Information for Newsviners

I have no problem seeing his avatar on Firefox, Darrah--it says "let's be civil".:-)

I didn't mean his avatar, dear Proglib. :-)

I meant the pic for his article. Now I see it. LOL

Oh--sorry, Darrah...I thought of that part as a graphic rather than a picture--I'm SO not technical!;-)

Yes, Proglib. I couldn't think of the proper term. In this case,"graphic" fits. Since neither of us are "so not technical", maybe you and I can have McSpocky as a personal "tutor."

You can sit at the front of the class. I'll take the back where I can chew gum and throw spitballs--or vice versa. I might not be able to do both at the same time though. ;-)

You have a song to seed tomorrow, don't you? LOL

I've already prevailed upon McSpocky to help me find my way around here. One strange thing I still can't figure out is why all of his seeds appear in larger type than anyone else's on my PC, while still appearing the same size as everyone else's when I access Newsvine from my laptop. It's been baffling me for weeks!...but then, I can't even chew gum and throw spitballs at the same time.

Can't you just see me at the back of the class in a "Joan Jett" sort of way?

Don't even think about giving me any homework. :-)

Lots of times I click on an article, usually from MSNBC and it has the comments, but no article. I just says permalink. A recent one is about the 4 year old who died from alcohol poisoning.

O I hate that. You have to figure out what category the article should be in, go to that category on MSNBC, & find it to read, then click back to the comments. It's a stupid setup & it just makes ppl comment on the 1-2 line summary w/ no clue what they're talking about. This is why I have tried to resolve to keep out of those threads so my brain won't skid to a halt & forget to start up again.

Also thought I was going to be stuck w/ an Xmas avatar for life; it just would not change. There was that little yellow ! triangle down in the L that said "error on page" & apparently that was the error. Finally I had the brainfart to adjust something else in the settings & then it allowed me to change the avatar. Unfortunately it also reset everything to default settings. I wanna see the cuss words, dammit LOL There's some weird glitch in there.

TYVM for the linkage :-)

PS>O duhhh...clipping beats bookmarking LOL Like paper v scissors.

Yknow, it IS the cuss words....I cannot change anything in my profile if I have the profanity filter off. As soon as I turn it on, it lets me do whatever I please in the way of changes. I reset it back to off when I'm done, & everything sticks again.

What is up w/ that? Why would it be set up like this? What's it to Newsvine what individual settings are that one of them should freeze everything else in place? Can someone go poke a coder to squint at this? It shouldn't matter.

Thank you McSpocky for getting us info on this. I'm the webmaster where I work, so I'm a bit intrigued by the new NV format.

.....you would mention "shopping"......

*sticks tongue out*

Lol..... Sore subject, indeed.... Here it is 6 days later, and I still haven't even been to the grocery store. Business is really booming in my little corner of the country !!
