Trusty, do you see the strip of advertising at the top of our front page? Not what it links to, but the ad itself? Watch it for a couple of seconds, and check out the figure apparently lying on her back.

booklady,
The ads at the top of the home page come and go, with random abandon.
I had to refresh several times until I was able to enjoy the .... whoops ... until I was able to be offended by the IMVU ad.
Upon further reveiw and closer inspection, there does seem to be some, er, supporting structure that maintains the anti-gravity appearance. Not that I spent a lot of time examining these types of things.
And it is anime, where anything is possible ... so I am told.
_E_

I suppose the fake ones behave differently than the real ones, too. Mine are real, and spectacular. Well, they were. See Trusty's comment re: gravity.  |

Your what are real and spectacular, books??!
I mean, did you mean what I thought you meant?

slb, it's a joke, a line from Seinfeld. (You don't think I would post anything like that and seriously mean it, do you? ) |

It's late at night. I'm going to bed. With "real and spectacular" thoughts in my head. I'll dream of the anti-gravity tart And the mighty mounds close to her heart.  |

Hey Trusty,
What's with the silly question mark that appears on the top left of each forum page? Like this:
?
prairieCHATTER is an unofficial forum/message board for fans, interested parties and uninterested parties of "A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor".This board is in no way a product of or affiliated with "A Prairie Home Companion", Garrison Keillor, American Public Media or Minnesota Public Radio.
Are you able to get rid of it? I guess it's starting to bug me... Maybe I should sue!
;-)

It was part of a program (extra header) that I had put in just for me only. Apparently a question mark showed up on everyone's board. I just eliminated the extra header, and the ? was eliminated, too. Hmmmmmmm... You can cancel the meeting with your lawyer. |

It's nice to know that there's a reason for things, even if it's just a miscue in the program.

is that a slam against the French? I'm hoping to have improved my French enough that by this fall I can interview musicians from West Africa in French. You think? or rather, Vous pense que? Okay, to further crow like a morning rooster, I only started to be conversational in French this year. As in, this past January. Last night, while at the Walker brainstorming on some program they have scheduled to install in November, we viewed several clips all in French. They actually made sense to me. |

Is anyone else having trouble getting the pages to load? I mean taking a long time. The google ads seem to be the problem. The page begins to load, and then freezes while google hiccups for a while.

At times it takes a lot longer that the instantaneous loading to which I have become accustomed. Objectively, it's not too bad — under a minute, probably around twenty seconds at most.

This is infuriating, BL. Let's face it: We've been spoiled with broadband and cable. The current state of this page elicits memories from the dial-up era. Not knowing of an applicable thread, I PM'd Trusty this AM, asking him to peek into this situation. Granted, it's only 20-30 seconds for each page to materialize, but... |

I think we should try to get Trusty's home phone number and call him up repeatedly at all hours of the day and night until he fixes it and the pages load at the speed we've become accustomed to. ;D And to heck with the preposition at the end of the sentence. |

Yeah, RIGHT!  Booklady. You ought to be ashamed to even think of such a thing! Oh, I wouldn't mind the phone calls; it's just that damn preposition at the end of the sentence. You KNOW you could do better! ;D |

Well, Trusty, you must have done something. The site now is as fast as ever.
Thanks, good man.

Thank you, Trusty. It does seem to be faster, and no longer freezing in mid-load.  |

I've been having some weird things happen here in the past couple of weeks.
Today I tried repeatedly to sign in, and couldn't do it. I was using the correct password, but after signing in I kept getting the normal home page as it looks when one visits as a guest. At one point, it showed (at the bottom of the page) that I was online, but what I was seeing was not the page one sees when one is logged in.
It's hard to explain!!
Last week on several occasions I logged out, closed the browser, went off for a number of hours, and came back to find that I was still logged in.
Weird!
Anybody else?
