Thank you!

When does printout capability appear?

Sometimes Spelling eras are intentional. Like that one (which occurs in elementary school).

@MaryfromMarin, I imagine that spelling of error is how Fur would say it.

Watching the edit timer countdown is like watching the debt clock in reverse. Except slower.

+5

I can change it to 2 minutes if you want.
Or how about 15 seconds, to make it really challenging?

+8

Their

Know
No
15 would bee better

+4

Or how about 24 hours?

One thing I most certainly did NOT ask for is my computer processor over-heating because of the “Traveling JPEGs” in the “iOTW Illustrations” section. This is the main reason I cannot stay on iOTW long enough to read the posts, let alone comment, most times.

I know, sour grapes. Tell ya what. I’ll use my browser spell checker so I don’t over-tax yours!

+5

Why did I get a thumb-up on my editing? Is that like positive reinforcement for dummies?

+4

Wow! I”ll lock smart know!

+5

Beat the Clock

+4

In reality, I put it in so people can edit their comments and not have youtube videos embed!

+3

Dok, if that widget is overheating your processor you might want to get a new computer. Each image is less than 20k.

+5

New iOTW game: “Beat the Edit Timer!”

24 hours is way too long. The interval should be long enough for regular posters to catch things, and too short for the remedial trolls.

+1

Mine is running a 21% and I have two pages up.

+1

actually, having a spell check makes me a worse speller ’cause I don’t have to go look that word up.

+2

What does the ABC with a green check mean, above the comment box? And the grey square with a diagonal double-ended arrow?

Pinning you down like a butterfly, BFH.

+1

I gotta go. We got snow coming and the wife forgot the bread….

Removed by Author
I always wondered who this Author person is and why he is removing so many comments

+7

Spellcheck should be most most helpful for the “educated” liberals who sometimes comment here.
As far as rethinking…when do they ever think for themselves in the first place?

+2

I’m on a Macbook and my typical routine is to have
iOTW open with at least 6 or 7 tabs open.
Photoshop is open and I’m working on something, sometimes 500mb files.
I’m also listening to Spotify or watching a movie and I have gmail chat open, or maybe skype.

I never dreamed that the AJAX slide show loaded with 15 20-25k images was putting people’s computers into convulsions.

+4

Comments I would like to remove. Did not quite make my point.
Or,to much babbaling and still no point.
Still don’t see a clock damn iPhone

+2

BFH–

Ipse dixit.

+1

I like to listen to RadioReference.com. NY fire and PD. scanner feed.
Unf-ckin believeable.

+3

When I said “slower” I meant slower than the debt clock. But perhaps 5 minutes IS a tad too long. Adrenaline rushes are good for you, they say.

+2

Thank you BFH for the spell check. It will save having to put separate comment corrections out there and keep me from creating an indentation in my forehead from slapping it so often.

+8

Maybe we should chip in and buy Kenny a Mac book Pro.

+5

I approve your spellchecker. It accepted “KKK” and didn’t call it a spelling error.
(Not that I frequently use KKK in any of my writings…..)

+2

Thank you!

+1

Is anyone else getting an issue with the spellcheck?
I’m hearing it is locking up some computers.

+2

For this website. It’s the only one I’ve seen that seems to run 24/7. Always something to read and think about.
The Ron Paul bashing is the best. What a nut case.

re: spellcheck. I’ll check.

Wow, another question answered! Mirabile dictu!

+2

Testing, testing one two three (from my mobile).

Thanks so much, BFH. You’re the. Well the guy with the big fur hat

..and the deiting works fine. Didn’t try the spleer chkr yet.

+2

Test
Now I see the clock. Had to turn on cookies.

+1

Spellcheck isn’t functional in the BlackBerry. I can live with that if y’all can.

+2

Dump it.
It fun to see who the stupid or hurried or tired people are.

+2

@BFH, in answer to your question…
I just tried the spell check feature by posting a YouTube link without the period at the end.

I got a small box saying ‘no spelling errors’.
- it said nothing about forgetting the period to prevent embedding
- it froze Firefox. Had to “force quit”.

Thanks for trying.

+1

EINSTEIN!!!

+5

Ya. It’s giving Firefox problems.
Dammit.
I have to keep searching.

+2

I have Firefox, and don’t seem to have any problems. But is that just with video posting?

Looks like he removed previous plug-in.

Not working
But who cares

Never had a problem with spellchecker…but that floating ad box is a pain in the ass…It fuxupmy Droid now.

+5

I hate that thing also. Very annoying

+3

Doc, you are correct. BFH and I discussed this days ago because I frequently access the site in the morning on my iPod. The floating ad box that pops up and hijacks the screen is EXTREMELY annoying on a small device. Some modifications were made but it still seems to be a bit of a problem. We’ll see what can be done.

+7

So you can edit your comment for up to 5 minutes after you post it?

+1

It does the same on my iPhone.

+3

tist

+1

no moer speeelin errrorrs. woo!

+1

That floating ad box. Glad I’m not the only one frustrated by it. Thanks IronyCurtain for working to fix it.

+2

I guess you have to wait 5 minutes for an answer too? Can others see your crapily worded comment before you edit it???

+1

Thats the best part. Make an outrageous statement then wipe it out in 5 min.
Did anyone else see the comment where someone was going to buy us a Mac Book Pro. I don’t see it anymore. It was there for like 5 min.

+4

Like disappearing ink?

+1

I’m not seeing any way to edit my comments.

+1

I have to give this BigFurMatch.com thing a try…

+4

I updated this post.Im looking for a different plugin. It crashes Firefox.

+1

I think the hood is open and the mechanic is still fiddling with the doohickey.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.

+5

I have some real humdingers that have been stinkin for a couple months, how much to fix those?

+1

Also, we’re trying to write a script where the ad gets blocked on mobile devices. It’s being tested right now.

We’re always trying to improve things. We appreciate the respectful comments and patience regarding this from the people who trust that we will get it worked out.

F.D.R. that looks like Reverse Russian Hexadecimal translated from Chinese.
Which reminds me, every time I try to update my email client the spellchecker gets all wacky and starts picking part of words that are spelled correctly. So I end up using an older version that has a working spell checker.

+1

Okay. I’m using Google Chrome with AdBlock but I allow the ads on IOTW. I cannot edit my replies. Yes I closed and restarted Chrome. No change.

+1

It does work when I use Internet Explorer.

+1

Now it’s working in Chrome!!!

+1

“I gotta go. We got snow coming and the wife forgot the bread….”

One word. Bread maker. Or is that two words? Spell Check says two words.

+1

I think I was able to disable spellcheck. I think.
Le me know. I don’t see it.
But let me know if you have spellcheck and if it crashes your browser if you use it.

+1

Let’s see how this works not logged in

+1

BFH, Firefox has a built in spell checker.

+1

Gotta tell you, from a guy who is not a little tech savy, are you gonna make me “appear” smarter than I am or not?
If so, I appreciate your hurculean effort and wish for your success where my parents, numerous teachers and professors failed.
God Love you !

Thanks Fur,

It’s been a long time coming..

@BillyShaft–

What a great avatar.

BFH–

I don’t recognize you without your hat. Great disguise.

That countdown thing is freakin me out!
OK to lose the splecheck, the edit feature id enuf.

+2

Dear God! If you do away with spell check the stuff I say will make even less sense.

+2

I went to the website. I got “Firefox can’t find the server at http://www.bigfurmatch.com.”

Dammit. Talk about your money-making opportunity there.

And the editing box works fine. Spell check gone now.

+1

Spellchecker? Let’s see if I can find it. Testing.

Negatory. And what’s the box with arrows in it?

Ohhhhh. I seeeee. Thought it may have been a full-framer for embedded YouTubes.

She no go. Ahh, you X it away by hand…

Thank you for acknowledging the complaint from a decades-long IT Manager and sometime web coder. Plus, one of my sons works with Ajax and we discussed this just last week.

Whatever you have done to CHANGE the “traveling JPEGs” (now just alternately fading in and out) has worked. Thank GOD I don’t have to “get a new computer” because of ONE SITE’S coding problems!!

Thanks again.
