New Contact

Our former ‘contact us’ page was hammered lately by spammers, so we’re trying something new. Each member (not just admins) now has the capability of allowing people to contact them via email, through their user page (by default, it is off for everyone). If you would like to enable it, go into ‘My Account’ in your user menu (left-hand column), and then click the ‘Edit’ tab and scroll down.

On the flipside, if you want to contact me or someone else here at TDG, click on their username (which appears next to posts and comments), and then the ‘Contact’ tab – note that this function is only available if that person has allowed contact via the email form (I have). Hopefully the other TDG admins will do so as well – let me know of any problems or comments you may have.

  1. Can’t log in
    Hello Greg, I am havin gproblems logging in. I tried many times with my name and password and it did not work, I tired some more and it did not work and now it worked, butnow I am typing in a little box thatis onlu an inch big, with my reding and writing disabiltity this makes it hard for me to see my spelling.SO,what is up?I can not even see what I am writing, and I do not want to have ot always write on MS word to post spontaneuosly when I see somet hing. I read and saw the post on DaVinci and wanted to thank that person forthose wonderful links, but I could not get on, now I am on, but I only have a little box and can not see what I am typing. SO I amsorry if you can not red hit s if my spelling is off and all, but I am not on MS right now and this little window make sit very difficult for me to se the words, and then see them if I am even coming close to spelling correctly . I got real nervous justnow and emailed a friend to see what is up on teh Grail. It is changing very mcuh and I don’t know whatis going on. I feel liek if I write osmthing and just want to writ about a thought or a question or my feelings and asd is goingot come on and see the words I tped and searhc for ads to match what I wrote. What if I am writing a question or a thought and it just starts advertising things that are tryeing to be sold around key words that are in my wiritng of a question or thought? Tha t kin d of makes me feel very exposed, and liek and idiot now as ci an not even see only a few words when I type. I need to be able to se at least theamount of page that i ad before to write it. Is thisnew? Is this how it is going to b ow? I waneted to place some private links for people to go see sone phots with out really putting htem up on the iste. Like they were of the flying books and thing s and sme stuff RObert and I did here last week. I have the picuters now of the glass shelf with the art piece knowcked form that kinetic energy things or waht ever ti si and then picutres of the flying books, but, I did not really want to place them on teh site, just put a post up and ask people if they wouel liekto see thepicures of what iwas talking aobut before and if enough people said yes, then I would make a link and put pictures in there and people coud go see them, but I did not think I was ready to mkae a page yet on teh site with ehm as I woudl ro should I guess write and article aobu twhat we have ben doinga dnI am not ready to do that yet. well, so, I guess that is all, I can’t see what I am writing too good so I hope you underst and what I am tryng ot sya. Sorry aobut the wriign, but i am not on MS and I am nervous right now with what is going on at the Grail here. It is probaly my aoraphobia type stuff geting triggerd because of I ffeel liek I amexpoed in som ewied way or soemthing, I cna’ texplainit.

    Ok, well if you read htis, can you please reply to me and let me know what is going on?

    Thank ou very mch, Colette

      I second – or 3rd, 4th, 5th, whatever – your request to go back to the larger comments box.

      Take heart – others have also complained, so you and I aren’t the only ones annoyed by this tiny little space.

      Greg, please! This thing is a misery to type in.

        One thing to note…I didn’t change the comments box. It has changed because of incompatibilities between certain browsers and the new code (e.g. new PHP etc) we have had to implement because of security vulnerabilities. It isn’t exactly easy to “go back” to the old box, because I have to track down what is causing it, and to make things harder, everything is fine for me and I can’t reproduce it on any of my operating systems and browsers. Rest assured I am trying to figure things out though.

        Perhaps I’ll have to sign up for an AOL account…
        😉

        Peace and Respect,
        Greg

        1. Bummer Greg about the incompatibilities
          Hello, well it is good to now that I amnot the only person who feels squished and uncomfroatbel with this new littel box, it does make it very fiddicult for me as I need to see the srpead of worsd sot see if I am writing backwrds or to see if the leters are rignthnest to each other and the twords are gut in half. SO, heck, I fhope you can figure osnthgoout out Grag, I dinot know that is was amajor invomptiblitiyt problewm. Also, this may sound sick and wid, bu t I am glad to know others are freaking out oo, not that I wan then to be miserabel, just that it helps me feel not so alone.

          Ok then, well, I don’t know, I am not so nervous nowe as I ead what whatas going on, but, I red hat I wrote agrtt I posited it and, no, I will be limited not as I can write Ok at times if i see what I am writring. On the site it ealks me foreer to get thigns right, but I keep woring onit and alot of RObert’s articled got corupted when the last wemb master guy destoyed the site, so, it just talkes time, but, if I have a wheustion or something i really want to sya I have learned to use my MS progrman and copyu it over and paste it into the box here at the Grail. Other times, Ijust write, but I see what i am writrign and I can go back and reread and reread and catch most of the poroblmens. wWerll, sorryry, I had some truam to ny head and i made part of my brain not be able to write aor see words probperyl. I know what I am thingking, i just can’t get the letters with the thoughts i n ordre, but, i am doing better, some days are better thenothers, but Ireally do need to see the eords spreadout. If this continues, I do not want to be a nuisnace to the Grail or feel liekI have to alawy open the MS program to write a littel line her ena dhtenet, so, pardon me if I get embarrassed and shy awya fro ahwil until this gets wroked out, i hope it does, but if it doesn’t, may bbe eventually I get use to it and I will ever y day get better with seeing worda any way. It is a terrbilbe injury to have had happned to me when I am a writer, WEll, I will gonow and thnk you for ecplaingin thins to me, sorry I had to ask and i got all nerbous.

          Thanks every one.

          1. You might try this…
            Instead of trying to type your comments in the tiny box, you might try this instead…

            Open a new email form or notepad, and first type your comment there. Then after you’ve checked it for spelling mistakes, etc., you can just copy the whole thing and paste it into the tiny TDG comments box.

            Kat

        2. does that mean…?
          As soon as I spend a few marathon sessions converting my AOL-based files to a format I can save to My Documents, I’m planning to ditch AOL for Firefox 1.5.

          So, does your reply mean that when I switch to using Firefox, the TDG comments box will appear to be back to it’s normal size?

          Kat

          1. WEll Heck
            I THink I am just on MS Expoler. So I see a little itsy bitsy box. Yes, Kat, I wil have to do that, but it is not spontaneius, and I cannot leeo back up at the thing I am lookin gat, but it will be something I have to do. I don toknow aobut fierball and suchthnins. I wills tya s I am, but, I think it will hanper me, if people will just forgive me at times and mywriting. I do the best IC an. Like noe, I realized I didn’t log off , so I can just wirte, otherwise in order to get everything OK, I will have to open up myemail then try to remember what i just read, Iknwo, dub, dubm, dumb, but that is what happned to my brain. Hey, but I am a lot better. SO, I will improve even more tih time.I will get over being embarrssed and then heck, people will get used ot reading this this anyway, I think I will post this thing on Cambrige again. I saved it as my frined long ago encourages me to keep trying to write and recoer my bbrain so he sent this to me. I wil lhave to find it, very funny actually but true. WEll it is to be truwe if Cambrige says so, how is that!

            Oh heck, Ok, I am trying to paste it in here….shoot little,,,,I do not need a girdle. I am trying to make fun of thisnand have agood attitude .

            Ok here goes.

          2. the easy way
            >>I cannot leap back up at the thing I am looking at

            You can also copy and paste the thing you’re looking at into your notepad page, so you can reread it as you’re typing your reply. I don’t remember whether notepad has a spell check, but my AOL email form – which I’m typing on at the moment – has a spell check function. So maybe your email forms have a spell check too. With mine, I access spell check with one of the buttons just under the subject box – in my case the button that has ‘ABC’ on it. All I have to do is click on that button, and a window pops up, with a list of the words that are misspelled.

          3. Oh thank the Lord /or Greg / or who ever
            Hello Greg, it is OK now on my side, I am on MS Browser, Kat, yes, thanks, I am on MS Outlook for my mail and it does have spell check. Boy just having this box back I can see, and I feel much better as I can see now what I am writing and I will not have the problem I was having. SO, thank you very much Kat for the suggetions, and Greg, thank you for the efforts in fixing it so some of us can see now.

            Yes, this makes a big difference for me to be able to see the spread of words as I can SEE them and the letters better and when I look up and down and then up and down again, I can see the spread of letters and the sentence and then what word is wrong and what is what and now I am OK and not paranoid so much and my life has just improved tremendously!!!!!! Ha ! Funny how things like this can freak a person out.

            So, thanks , a whole bunch.

            Can someone let me know if this issue is fixed? I seem to have found a source of a problem in the input boxes, just need someone to tell me if it’s working ok again (please, please).

            Peace and Respect
