Q&A about TC and GR and Such

[janine]

Have you checked your e-mail settings on GR?

Umm. Be right back.........

[Angela~twistedmind~]

Janine, my settings are all set the way they should be. I've also checked my spam folder daily to see if it was going there all of the sudden. I don't know what the hell else to do other than ask GR for help.

[janine]

Hm, that's where my GR expertise ends. You could try the feedback group.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Lots of people are having this problem.

"We've been doing some database maintenance over the past week. We hope to get the digests back up by Friday. I'll post here again if there's an update."

[Félix]

Who wants all those emails, anyway?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I can't deal with that much email. I'm already drowning in GR emails.

[janine]

I have most updates turned off. I don't like drowning in e-mail.

*?Glug, Glug* someone toss me a floatation device.

[Cynthia]

Oh good a inflatable boy. My dream date! Thanks Janine!

[janine]

You must've been in the water for too long Cynthia because I most certainly did not throw you a blow-up doll. Let's get you out of there and to a hospital.

[Cynthia]

Aw, shoot. He was such a good listener, too.

[janine]

I'm sure he was, but now you can talk to the nice doctor, see?

[Angela~twistedmind~]

Phones, computers and other devices have been going wonky since the solar flare. I am sadly out of touch but my little brother watched a program and NASA was explaining it all.
It actually saves time for me to skim through the threads and new posts in a single e-mail. When I log on I spend way more time nosing in threads that I don't usually pay attention to & before I know it, a couple of hours have passed.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Did you know you can buy an inflatable Barack Obama doll?

::regrets blow up doll search very much::

[janine]

I could have told you you'd regret that.

[Félix]

But you don't blow it all out of proportion.

[Sally, la reina]

I love that it is all going wonky. Finally.

[Scout]

Serious question: Why is it that some stagnant threads are indelible? Why don't they go away like other threads do?

[janine]

Are you referring to any threads in particular? The ones with stars in front of the title are marked so they always stay at the top of their folder.

[Scout]

Ah, now I know what the asterisks mean. Thanks for the info.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Um, not a fan of the new front page set-up. Just saying. It's HUGE. F--ing HUGE. Maybe even too big.

I miss the CTA-stop-fungus-foot photo, you know, the one that was so small.

I am also getting the "Group Rules" pop-up every time I post a comment, which is beyond annoying. Anyone else getting this?

[Félix]

I get it, too.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Did a mod change the group settings? Help says this is probably why we're getting the pop-up.

[evie]

I get the "Group Rules" thing too.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Is it possible for a mod to change the settings? So we don't have to get this pop-up constantly?

FYI sometimes the pop-up blocks out other text on the page.

[Félix]

I'm starting to me memorize the rules. Maybe that's what Sally had in mind.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Sorry.....but the new group pic could not be more banal.

I wish we could find a photo that shows our distinctiveness and eccentricity, not our banality.

The foot/train station photo did that.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm opinionated because I care. (Seriously.)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I wouldn't mind having this as group photo.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Or this.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

YES! Fungal foot is back!!!

I have to say that I'm happier about the return of the potted plant than I am about the fungus.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Coffee mug?

::disappointed::

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Creepy > banal.

[Sally, la reina]

Be nice.

I think the current mug is a Ko mug, which I enjoy.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I hate the group "photo". Which is really more of a placard, but one we can't read because it's so tiny. Don't get me wrong: I'm glad it's really tiny, because otherwise I'd have to look at something large that I hated. I just wish it could be something nice, something not banal, and something representative of us. Surely we're not that banal. Are we?

[[deleted user]]

The group photo blows chunks. Bring back RA's dogs!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Thank you!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Never works - I'm encased in protective booger shield at all times.

[Scout]

What happens when you sneeze?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

This needs to be our official GIF.

[Sally, la reina]

I have a super cool group photo in the works. Don't get your communal panties in a wad.

Wait. Don't tell me. Another fucking cat.
