Morning. Where is everybody? What's happened? Everybody go back to Daily Kos?
I tried going back to Firedoglake but that site is having serious problems. Have hardly been able to post
at all for a couple weeks and about every time I try to go there it's down. I think the site owner, Jane,
had some health problems and it's been neglected.
Not sure what people want.

we've had some issues changing the site over to the new domain and some folks have been having problems logging in. I think the problem is fixed now. Did you have any problems logging in the last week or so?

I still don't even know how to bookmark, so I've just been clicking the same link and I end up here eventually.

I think. I was going to google bookmarking later.
I'm also a member of Procrastinator's Anonymous, or at least I'm trying to become a member.
I usually figure things out in the end. Notice my nice pictures with my diaries. Smile

the caucus99percent home page and then click the "Favorites" button, then click "Add to Favorites" and when the box comes up click "Add" and that's it. After that any time you want to come to the site click the "Favorites" button and then click the "caucus99percent" link. You can do that for any site.

I think I finally resolved the log in issues we've been having, it's been driving me up a wall for a week. Did you notice the Facebook and Twitter widgets installed as of yesterday? There at the bottom of diary entries.

And yes I can see the FB and Twitter icons.

Thanks JtC

And I had problems logging in, and have to log in every time I come to this site. Is that a bug?

I fixed it only a couple of hours ago. Folks, you need to let me know the if you're having any problems, otherwise i don't know about it and can't fix it.

Last week, several days went by without any new content appearing. On Saturday, diaries date-stamped Wednesday were on the front page.

The problems began shortly after Jane Hamsher said that she had to step aside because of her health problems. I'm not blaming Jane--she has no obligation to keep the site up--but the site really misses her involvement.
