Yes - but The Don is the real Enforcer. I only have a Naked Gun.

When we get to 1,000,000 posts does it just call us losers like on Southpark?

A few more smilies/emoticons have been added:

JoeGlow suggested adding the first one. If you have other suggestion let me know.

I can use that one when I blow people's minds by how right I am.

Just a reminder a few weeks late - to keep the correct time you need to compensate for daylights savings time again by going to your profile and changing the GMT from -6 to -5.

Did you delete your cookies?

Post by **Admin** » Sun May 04, 2008 1:28 pm

We are sorry about the inconvenience of the forum being down yesterday. I did not see the error until this morning - having been away from the desk this weekend. So please post away again! Let us know what is going on around town.

For some reason the site is no longer working for me with Firefox.

Again we are sorry for the inconvenience of the forum being down. I believe it happened around noon today and was back up at 6. Something happened to our host's network:

Again we apologize for the site being down last night. Our host was having 'issues with our core router.' All seems to be well now.

I'm still having trouble getting in by simply typing in "eomahaforums.com". I had to search for the site in google, go to a page other than the home page (or else it says 'page cannot be displayed'), then click on a user, go to all the posts they've made and click on the section to read the topics. I use internet explorer, but i used to use firefox and I'm thinking about flipping back. Anyone have any other ideas on how i can resolve this so i don't have to go to such lengths to get in here? Sure it's a means-to-an-end for me to get my fix, but it's a huge pain in the |expletive| nonetheless.

Deleting the site's cookies seems to work for me. As a web developer, I don't have a clue how my cookies all of a sudden "go bad", but it's the only solution that I know of at this point.

Post by **nebugeater** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 7:23 pm

Does anyone else ever experience all the text you have typed just up and disappearing when you add an Emoticon after typing everything. The cursor for the emoticon is after the text added. I know that for sure. This has happened to me many times, and just happened again on a reply post I did in the parallel parking thread. It has happened on more than on computer too. It seems to be random to some extent. The only consistency is that I am using IE on all the PC's.

Post by **Admin** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 7:27 pm

This all started after the Spell Checker was added. I have found that it does appear to be random.

I learned some of the code for the popular emoticons otherwise I just copy the text before I add the emoticon then I can just paste it back.

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 1:04 pm

is there any way to disable the spell check upon clicking submit? I know you can disable as you type, but is there any way to avoid the final check?

I keep getting an error that will not allow me to post anything that has a non-recognized word....

Shut it off in your profile. They yellow will stay on, but the final check will shut off.

Why do we even have it? It doesn't help anything. We're not writing a thesis and it's more trouble than it's worth so lets can it.

I love it. It works awesome for me with just the yellow boxes and the pop up turned off.

Before I would have to cut and paste my posts in to word and then back in to the forum...

Big E · Post by **Big E** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 1:24 pm

Anyone ever consider learning how to |expletive| spell?

DTO Luv · Post by **DTO Luv** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 1:26 pm

We don't care that you can't spell or have bad grahmer Brad.

The site already has problems with the deleting cookies thing so I think it would make the site more user friendly to do away with it.

You only have to shut it off one time and its off forever!

Then why have you tossed |expletive| my way on spelling in a post or two?

Here is why we need spell check:

I'd pay to see the reaction from the neighbors as he drug his wife along the ground by her shirt collar because he couldn't spell the street name that all his bills, cards, checks, etc, had on them.

thenewguy · Post by **thenewguy** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 10:37 am

...or do you think the dispatcher could tell he was a 'neck and probably couldn't spell it in the first place? Like some sort of self gratification by knowing how to spell it, and the caller didn't?
