[elevated_u2_fan]

must be something they just did then...

those sneaky rat bastards!

will Firefox fix this?

 

[martha]

Photobucket is blocked by my work's internet policy.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

so... is that a no for Firefox then?

I use Firefox and have no problems.

I really dont think it matters what browser you use, if your work has blocked photobucket or similar sites, its not going to show up regardless.

that's what i was thinking. my work blocks quite a few sites, and photobucket used to be one of them.

elfa, try going to photobucket's website or pasting a link to an image in your browser at work. it should give you some error saying that domain is blocked for whatever reason.

i hate work firewalls

I have red x's in the smilies too. (IE, home) It's happened periodically just haven't said anything. It's not exclusive to work or home, and not all the time.
When I click on a smilie - such as the drool button (that is showing) the box pops up with all the others red x'ed. When I submit my reply the smilie box doesn't stay open. I have to open it each time I reply or post.
(except for the one's showing below the reply box.

I also noticed tonight - for the first time, I'm "invisible". What does that littl red dot mean? (besides invisible) All the thing's I could have been doing, being invisible.
(Please don't make me look it up, dial up takes so long.)

ETS: Never mind about the invisible thing. I found it.

Is the time going to be fixed? Interference is running about 4 minutes behind....I keep thinking I've been lost in a time warp when I've posted....

Are you serious

 

[Thora]

Yup, the Interference clock is definitely 5 minutes slow.

 

[Sicy]

Ok so maybe I'm just cranky, but I meant, are you serious, as in, are you that sad/upset/concerned about the interference clock being 4 minutes off?

Like, there are worse things in life. I don't even pay attention to the clock at all.

 

[bonocomet]

Yes Sicy, I think you are just cranky.

 

[Bonochick]

I don't even pay attention to the clock at all.

Me neither.

 

[Sicy]

The clock should be fixed. Is your life now complete?

Sorry, that was awesome. No, I didn't care, I just noticed it once it was mentioned.

 

[bonocomet]

Really cranky.

 

[Sicy]

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Besides... have you guys ever considered it's your clocks that are off?

 

[Zoots]

I don't even pay attention to the damn time! especially not when I'm posting. The only time I may take a look at it is if I'm reading old posts that I have missed say, at the Temple bar. It's sometimes cool to know what time they were posted. And at that point, being a few min off hardly makes any difference to me.

no, wasn't THAT sad/upset/concerned! But I had noticed a lot of people mentioning it in the forums, and once it had been pointed out, I simply became aware of it. I only noticed it when there was rampant posting in the superthread and it wasn't a problem - just gave the time warp sensation in a funny way Don't shoot the messenger

Smile Sicy....

Well, in my opinion Clocks is a blatant rip-off of U2!111!11

The bastards!!11

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

LOL!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

at this convo...


yeah, so maybe the clocks are off.. I don't even notice either.. but yeah some people have been mentioning it in the forums..

 

[Galeongirl]

Still when I receive PM's the smileys are red Xes, and in the reply box half of them are, and the other half are shown... wth?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

^ i have a similar problem when I am replying/quoting to a post and click the link to more smilies all i get is red x's when that box comes up with all the smilies in it.

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah when I receive pm's from people sometimes the smilies are just red x's, which can sometimes make it hard to know exactly what the person is meaning. Amazingly smilies can really tell alot about what someone's actually saying

[bonocomet]

I've cleared my cookies lots of times, still didn't work for me, oh well! (And sometimes the smilies do all work!) I'm not worried about it. Eventually it will probably work.
