hootowl

Try again.....
The BF mother doed in july. We went for a memorial service. We wound up clearing out her house. Had freedom to keep what we wished.
I was planning on getting my own apt so we set aside a lot of stuff for that and he took a lot of his father stuff. We left it there because we didn't have time or money to bring it. Now we will be going back and since we are living together...I don't need half of it!
12:04 am
helenkeller

leigh -is that your problem too?
12:04 am
stidmama

I actually now buy new tubers from "Dan's Dahlias" he was the age of my boys when he started selling flowers at the farmer's market to finance his college education... and now that he's all growed up, he and his wife still sell tubers and flowers. It's nice to support nice people like that.
12:04 am

12:12 am

12:12 am
licketySplitAUS

scatty - sorry to hear that! No fair!
12:12 am
scatty

daisy bells, look like wild daisys with blue flowers instead of yellow

Good stuff! I see the 4 letter non vowel word for cold has shown itself again and I have found a fish too
2:52 am
Haz1558

I couldn't remember whether the 'cold' word had been acceptable, but yes, it is. And I've found the fish as well as our old friend the Greek cheese.
2:55 am
Haz1558

The dictionary is being uncharacteristically straitlaced. It won't accept mo4/5 as a verb, hence mo**er isn't any good.....
2:56 am
sukinainu

What out for the offensive slang! (b5/18) It's been nice "listening" in tonight. I'm off to try and get some shuteye.

3:05 am
FMitch

Well done for getting that far snowy, I didn't even attempt yesterday's.
Did you finish Haz?
3:06 am

Hi everyone. What a relief to be back to the original version. I don't understand how Dr God is going to work out the problem with not being able to scroll through the entire log at the same time as entering words, but what I understand about creating such systems could fit in a thimble. Anyway, I'm going to stay here until we get evicted.
4:58 am
gramma

I'm w/you,sister! Eva you and I will be sitting here staring long after the page is closed!
4:59 am

makes me feel very ancient and inflexible. Is this a men with toys thing-the having to always tinker?
5:00 am

god I sound curmudgeonly! Who ever would have thunk it.

Eva, if he didn't TOY with this in the first place, we wouldn't be here... it is a living, growing entity... no one likes it when their baby becomes a man!! LOL

Innocently scrolling down the log.......not looking at any thing in particular...this clue jumps out at me. It's from saffire and says ai7 ai plus what you throw a puppy. Well for the life of me, I can't find kitty.

weee i was meant to leave for the shops an hour ago!!! got waylaid by the grid again!! gotta really go now! bye all!!!
5:18 am
gramma

Bye, saffire! Have a good day.
5:20 am
Eva

saffire, what beautiful mushrooms!

About half of the icons are blank...is anyone else having that problem? At least its letting me enter words, which it usually doesn't when the icons aren't all filled it.

mrp, I know you're right about the tinkering. Have you found things about the beta page that you prefer? How are you getting around the problem of not being able to access the whole chat log at the same time as entering words? I really want to learn how to do it all, but need very sinple, stupid instructions.
5:22 am
mrpresident

Eva, you are neither simple or stupid! It is possible to veiw the entire log at any time! Before, you could only see the previous 50, so it is nothing different about that
5:25 am
Eva

I know you can see it by clicking on the "view entire log" button-but that flips you to another page where you can't also enter words. How do you deal with that? I hear people talking about keeping 2 windows open at the same time, but have no idea how to do that although I know that someone showed it to me once when I got my new Mac iBook. Do you know how? And yes, although I don't think that overall I am simple and stupid, when it comes to computers i am for sure. Can manage email, but not much more.
5:26 am
Eva

mrp, did you ever get the Buffy piece I sent you?
5:27 am
mrpresident

I actually like to have the stats and the words on the one page
It is so refreshing to scroll the list and still have the grid in view!
I also really like FIREWORKS!
and the chat log is kind of getting to the end of my list of things to consider, so I guess priority is another thing when considering the puzzle in a whole as being user-friendly.
I will find out more about the opening two windows at once... that is the thing I find difficult as I can't have my a2z source open and visible (easily anyway)
5:28 am
mrpresident

Oh eva! I LOVE your Buffy piece! It is the most inspirational piece of writing I have read in a long time!! Very heart-felt and emotional!
5:29 am
mrpresident

I told Lickety about it and we both looked at eachother and realised how much it meant to us too!
5:30 am
Eva

Thank you. Glad you got it. In terms of the new format, I guess it depends on how one plays the game. For me, after I make the first run through, going through the entire log and attempting to understand the clues and enter them is a major part of the game.
5:32 am
gramma

I'm trying to reroot my plant and the stats won't take it.
5:35 am
mrpresident

Can you please use that in a sentence gramma??
5:36 am

oh, I see.... reroot hair! yeah, what is with that??
5:38 am

Morning again, all! It was so nice outside & sat in the yard & read for awhile. But now back to the grid (where are my priorities?)!

Good morning cliff. The blackflies are here with a vengeance! Have to go for a walk before they wake up.
5:39 am

Hello Jera... oh my house and garden went to pot at least 6 months ago due to babble! :))
I have widowed my husband and orphaned my children too!

Oh my, yes, those poor Babble orphans. They will probably form a support group soon...

it's not the past tense, but the person who does it, I think?

Thanks so much mrp for all the 7's! NOW I can go for a walk.

I have the 9, but can't see that I can make an 8 out of it.
6:11 am

no 8 from that dog toy! it is a he8 you need
6:12 am
mrpresident

he8 - body cavity through which blood circulates. gggrrrrr word!
6:17 am
Eva

Okay, it's not going to come to me easily,although the prefix is likely, so I'll save it for apres walk.
6:38 am

Did I lose connection or did everyone just get really quiet??

Still noodling over the he8... can't make it happen. Prolly could have found 20 smaller words the amount of time I've spent on one big one!

how come "mooner" isnt a word? Ive been "mooning" at the traffic all day, so how come I cant be a "mooner"?

Oh what a shame Jera, I guess an indoor one would be impractical.

She's very understanding about it. No room insde for a group of kids! We were gonna barbecue.

At her age, actually birthday parties are less common. We already had a nice day out on her actual day to go to the mall (got our ears pierced).
6:50 am

Maybe that's why she's being so good about the party.

Yup, the party is already a month late, porr thing. But she took cupcakes to school on her day, that was special

It was a very good clue, MrP!

Yes, Saint, I was just trying to remember my login--since it wants me to sign in! Glad to see it is still the same Dr_God puzzle, and it looks easier to read/chat in. Except I haven't gotten over there yet!...
6:58 am
Jera

It's nice to have everything on one page, even if it's a bit smaller...
6:58 am

ok. yes, it's all on one screen now - word lists, stats, chat - Wicked cool

I don't know what else is in store. But there are fireworks when you finish (by popular request).

It will happen eventually if you want to persist. But if you're happy just entering as many words as you can, that's fine. Enjoyment is the main thing.
7:03 am

Yeah, my days are getting too busy to spend enough time babbling. I'll have to drop something from the schedule....lesseee, laundry, lawn-care, {snickers}

is Lickety the best site for clues?
7:04 am

saintfranny, is there a spider solitaire site too?
7:04 am

um, no, not a site book. just a game option on my computer, like freecell, etc
7:04 am
EvaNadine

i gotta say, TGI almost F !!
7:05 am
Haz1558

It's the site I prefer for the 2 letter list because you can enter the words and keep track. It's especially useful for big grids like yesterday's.
7:05 am

Ahh, yes I have that too.

I'm back, my husband wanted to talk before he went to work...

Time for the list anyway, I've stalled with 59 to go...
7:19 am

Uh-oh. Problem. The way I have my screen arranged usually, with the clue window to the side, now covers up the chat!

I always get stumped at sudoku... never finished one in my life! But I find great peace in trying...
7:35 am

ive been doing pretty well...but lately theyve been ones where you HAVE to fill in possibilities + that ends up confusingme cause the grid looks so messy!

Ooh, lag is getting bad...
7:40 am
EvaNadine

just wondering if Dr God is working on that....im entering words faster than the puzzle can take them
7:41 am
Jera

Yes, I'll enter a word & it clears the input box... so I try another & things get confusing... especially when it takes a while to show up on the list...
7:41 am

Must be getting busy, even if not many are talking...

Good morning -- I'm currently writing this on the old site, because on the new site the page loads as usual, but no chat showing (only the space), and when I enter a word on the grid box, it just disappears but doesn't show up on the list. Is everyone having this problem? I already logged in and out, refreshed, etc.

basically, your computer "saves" the old version to refer back to so things load faster...
sometimes you hafta throw out the old info to accept the new stuff

well, your statement does hold much wisdom. we do tend to 'save' our old experiences and patterns and seek out similar 'versions' of the same man or woman ... until we have to let go of the old in order to make room for new growth in ourselves... okay, enough psycho babble :D

the worst of it is that neither one of us really wanted to split up.

I hate to start out the morning complaining...but I noticed that my ranking went DOWN from the day before...and I played my heart out yesterday, even tho I didn't finish...can anybody explain to this mathematically impaired blonde here?
8:37 am
ch1212

tndaisy, I had that same experience. Nice people here explained to my math challenged brain that simple points will rack up your overall score, but you have to finish a grid for the other two to change, otherwise you lose points. That explains why you see people in the log write "not going to start today"...

This is the second time I've played on the new one, no hitches here.

bunnyvicious

The archives, are they new? Nothing happens when I click the link.
11:33 am
Dr_God

caitlyn & leigh-
You both got the fireforks even though the stats panel showed that there were still words not found? Was the stats panel wrong? Or did you, in fact, have more words to find?
11:34 am
bunnyvicious

Never mind, I'm a dolt, have to click to WORD. if you finish an archived puzzle, does it change your stats?
11:35 am
hurshy

wait, what?? we CAN do archived puzzles now??
11:35 am

I have gone back to the old site for now,when i do use the other one where is my profile? Im probably being really stupid!
11:35 am

I never got to finish the puzzle last night. But yesterday afternoon my word stats + my word list = 1 more than the total words of the day. When I came back last night, it seemed to be fixed.
11:36 am

Archived puzzles can not be played. Have no fear.

Dr_God

caitlyn-
The profile is in the same place on both sites.

yeah i was starting to rethink my casual statement of yesterday that if we could, i would just play one a day until done - fear gripped my heart when it seemed to be a real possibility

Well darn, you can play them in Sudoku! It's ok, I don't need to go back and do them, I'd be forever on my computer!

Dr_God

caitlyn-
Did you try to enter the mysterious missing word?
11:38 am
caitlyn

No i didnt know there was one
11:38 am
hurshy

it seems to me the difference is, with sudoku it is either done or not done. with babble, the number of words you have at midnight can be anywhere from zero to the total. so would you then play one over multiple days? how would you store it? it would be a mess. i can see why doc g isn't doing it :)
11:39 am
Dr_God

caitlyn-
I thought you said the beta sites said you needed one more word.
11:40 am

Good point, I'm just being greedy.... I feel a deep loss when I complete a puzzle.
11:40 am
caitlyn

It did I dont know what it says now
11:42 am

cait - what he wants to know is, what did you do when it said that? did you try to enter another word as a guess? or did you not bother bc you knew you were really done?
11:43 am
hurshy

(sorry to be a buttinski, doc)
11:43 am
caitlyn

I didnt try to enter any more words because i Knew i had finished so i came back to old site which showed me i had
11:46 am

i am kind of thinking that if it happens again today, cait, doc will want you to try entering a word, or a fake word, and let him know what happens when you do that
11:47 am

Yes. Please let me know if it happens again.

hurshy-
People will get used to the new site, and it won't happen anymore.
12:20 pm

I've lost the scroll bar again...
12:20 pm

the emergency room is not very easy to chat in like the with the babies
12:21 pm

I LOVE the fireworks!
12:21 pm
hurshy

ok doc, but if they don't and it keeps happening, then can we have a button? :)
12:21 pm
baggo

and there's no time to babble, cept on paper...then i usually am so tire that i forget to put them it
12:21 pm
bookwyrmish

It would be cool if you could switch the functions of the switchPLUSenter with the enter--then people would have to mean to send in the chat?
12:21 pm
hurshy

ah, book the wise
12:22 pm
bookwyrmish

Hi, hurshy!

book, playing with the enter key

i mean, the shift/enter
12:23 pm
bookwyrmish

Dr. God, do you know that I have the Tile stats and word stats now (me, a lowly unsubscribed)?
12:23 pm
hurshy

hi book - your idea may be just the compromise doc and i needed :) :) (although doc is israel and i am palestine...only without terrorists...)
12:24 pm
Dr_God

The stats will be free while the beta site is running
12:24 pm
hurshy

"doc, what do you think of book's idea?", pleads the powerless palestine
12:25 pm
bookwyrmish

Cool, it gives me a glimpse of what others have. OF course, I'm still trying to decide if I like them/can get used to them. Maybe it would be good advertising to offer them free for a day once in a while...
12:25 pm
Douglas

blech is in the grid, but not accepted...
12:25 pm
bookgrrl

Dr. God--Love the changes. My only problem has been w/ the script that's running the word list. The stats are correct for what I've entered, but the word list doesn't always display correctly. For instance, it's off by 30 words or so right now.
12:25 pm
Dr_God

book's idea would solve the problem, but then no one would know how to enter a chat post.
12:26 pm
Dr_God

Off by 30 words??
12:26 pm
hurshy

easy, doc, you just put instructions at the top - "Hit Shift+Enter to enter your chat"
12:26 pm
bookgrrl

Yep...the word list shows 94 words, but I really only have 47 left to find.
12:26 pm
bookwyrmish

To quote Dr. God, people would get used to it! You could change the Chatterbox tab to read Chat--ShiftPLUSenter to send!
12:26 pm
caitlyn

Same sort of thing that happenend to me
12:26 pm

12:27 pm
Dr_God

bookgrrl-
Do random words not get added to the list, or does it stop working at some point?
12:27 pm
bookgrrl

Random words aren't add, Dr. G.
12:27 pm
hurshy

:) book - now doc is not even going to be paying attention to us though cause there is a bug to fix
12:27 pm
bookgrrl

Seems to be a problem if I close out of Babble and come back.
12:28 pm
bookgrrl

Sorry, hurshy! 8^)
12:28 pm
Dr_God

Are you seeing delays when entering words, bookgrrl?
12:28 pm
bookgrrl

Again, the stats are right; it's just the list that's problematic.
12:28 pm
hurshy

:) 'sok bookgrrl
12:29 pm
bookgrrl

Nope, no delays in entering words (well, just a second or so).
12:29 pm
bookwyrmish

Well, first things first, I suppose. We'll just have to re-nag, beg, and plead again later!

Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?
12:31 pm
sherb

Dr-G - I was having the same problem as bookgrrl yesterday... it happened when I looked at Rankings, or at somebody's profile and then came back to the Babble screen...kept having to hit 'Continue' when I got the error message, and after about 10 hits it finally reloaded the whole word list...
12:31 pm
hurshy

the puzzle is easy. convincing you of perfection of bookwyrm's solution, now that's hard
12:32 pm
bookgrrl

I tried that for a while, sherb--I got bored after the first 4 or 5 times, though.
12:32 pm
caitlyn

bookgrrl when I knew i had finished it decided to tell me I hadnt!!
12:32 pm
sherb

I gave up and went back to the old site...
12:33 pm
bookgrrl

eek! that's not good, caitlyn; i didn't get close to finished yesterday though.
12:33 pm
Dr_God

I have to go eat some lunch. I'll tackle all this when I get back. :)

I haven't been playing babble all that long but todays is soooo familiar. Do the puzzles ever repeat?
1:11 pm
bendamalina

well, lynxxx, there's only 26 letters in the alphabet
1:12 pm
hurshy

don't think so, lynxxx, the puzzles are, i believe, computer generated, though presumably with some built in safeguards to make sure we get SOME vowels, so i think the odds of a repeat would be on the order of one in 20^25
1:13 pm
hurshy

although obviously the odds get better each day :)
1:14 pm
bendamalina

ok, i'm going to go make a bit of lunch. see you later! (and those fireworks sure are satisfying)

1:16 pm

i thought the theme was forms of transportation?

Hmmm, now it wants me to upgrade again before I can change an icon. I think I had best log out and wait a bit for the upgrade to go through?

Ok, Explorer users. I've solved the mystery of the growing chat log, but in doing so I've caused a few other display issues. I'm in the middle of fixing them. So if things looks funky for a bit, you'll know why.

really now, how can you have your cursor in the wrong box boreetos?
2:31 pm
oggy

on the new site, but it looks a bit crowded.
2:31 pm
Dr_God

Switching Enter and Shift-Enter is a veeery bad idea. As you can see, most people instinctively know to hit "Enter" to add chat messages. If I switched it to Shift-Enter, no one would figure that out instinctively. So in answer to your question, there is a 0% chance I will be making that switch. ;)
2:31 pm
boreetos

well, maybe just block one word responses that are in the grid then?

My husband was in Leicester for a couple of days, finding out even more about cattle (how much more can he learn) and he made a point of phoning to say how beautiful it was.
2:39 pm
sherb

I expect Coventry RI is more attractive than Coventry, England,,, which has never really recovered from the Blitz...
2:40 pm
hurshy

coventry RI is quite large and spread out, the rural western half is nice, the eastern half is just your average suburb.
2:41 pm

don't think I've ever been to Leicester, Haz... one of those places...
2:42 pm

2:43 pm
cybernan

did you mean 5/14 ch1212?
2:43 pm
Haz1558

It was a course being held at the University - he was quite impressed with the older buildings. In true style he had imagined that there was a zoo in Leicester to visit. Turns out he was thinking of Chester Zoo. His brain is wired differently to most people!
2:43 pm
stidmama

are you sure that's a 5/16? I thought it was a 4/5 followed by a 6/21...
2:44 pm
stidmama

well, chester, leister, worchester... don't they all kinda sound similar? (they do in american english)
2:44 pm

Actually, the only co 5's following Haley's are 12's
2:44 pm

I cannot think of another word for stone that starts with co, any other clues?

Since we are on the co's, any clues for co 6/21 and co 6/27???
2:46 pm
hurshy

doc, bex is experiencing a problem that she doesn't feel she can explain to you clearly. basically, she added a word, then attempted to add a word based on that ending with an r, but left the r off. it told her the word added both times, rather than saying it was already in the second time, or invalid one of the times (as it would be if she spelled it wrong). but it only appears in her list once, so that is good.
2:46 pm

hurshy, are u saying dont give clues to players final words.
3:33 pm
hurshy

only if they are fishy words, oggy. if it was he8, no problem. but easy words - i just think people will feel annoyed with themselves afterwards if they find out their last word was something they could have gotten themselves
3:33 pm
sandr

please dont say that - i'm stuck on the ma6/21 (i have the one to make bad) please help\me
3:33 pm
inge

i think it is more honorable to discover your last word yourself, especially when it is as common as mine was. Some players may not own up to the fact that it is their last word, though.
3:33 pm
hurshy

change the last two letters, sandr, to a preposition
3:34 pm
sherb

personally, I only ask for a clue of I really need one... in which case I'm grateful for the responses, even if it's an obvious word...
3:36 pm
hurshy

well here is my thought - if i stop people from giving a clue, and then the person says i don't mind if it's fishy, i want it anyway, then fine. but at least i will save the people who want saving. :)
3:36 pm
sandr

i dont know what a prepsoition is. Also re the clueing - i think if you stuck your stuck (and i'm often stuck!) any help is always gratefully recieved - specially by me

it's only a game...
3:37 pm

i just know if my last word had been inge's mo, i would actually have been mad at anyone who gave me a clue instead of saying, no hurshy, that is easy, find it yourself
3:37 pm

I ask for clues only when I havent figured out the word on at least two passes. I agree with hurshy, since she advises yuo taht it is an easy word.

4:16 pm

4:16 pm
movieman

4:21 pm
bendamalina

i'm just back from cleaning my bathroom (today was floors and baseboards), but I never logged out, so if anyone needs clues...
4:21 pm
ch1212

"Slither" I hear is a delightfully wicked satire on the old 1950's sci-fi movies ... what say you, our resident critic?
4:21 pm
bendamalina

mo5/14: there are 12 of them in a year
4:21 pm
hurshy

abe - like a place you stay when travelling but change middle letter to the first letter of the other (rhyming!) place you stay when travelling
4:21 pm
movieman

And I thought both films were pretty good, and if you happen to catch "Slither", be sure to stay until the end of the end credits to see an extra scene....
4:21 pm
KatieMcG

I've saw the trailer to slither and wasn't sure it was my thing
4:22 pm
stidmama

bendamalina, thanks for asking! I just got to 48, would like to pare it down to 45 before I go dig up more weeds and switch the laundry.. the first three mo words, please?

Hursh, just made a wee foray into the former site (inadvertantly--whenever I refresh through lickety I'm always zapped back into the original window...why, Dr. God?) and there I see a spanking new non-logos icon. Strange.
4:25 pm
cliffopa

my little 1 pound kitten is currently terrorizing my 17 pound himalayan. what a riot!
4:26 pm
lola100

Hey punster! How've you been?? : )

Hursh! You been good while I was away?? ; )
4:26 pm
stidmama

hetty -- the why is because Lickety's link goes to the old site, not this one... :-)
4:26 pm
hurshy

yes, hetty - that is my "forms of transportation" icon - i can't access the beta site - firewall - so it just shows one of my old icons i guess
4:26 pm
evanonut

lol cliff - dontcha love it? my boys are set to go to the vet next month.

monkeytyping is when you type letters just to see if they are a word - cause a monkey could do it!

Big changes, Lola. Unless you'd rather keep some semblance of privacy, which would be completely understandable.
4:32 pm
lola100

4:32 pm
stidmama

Oh do! That would be so much fun, katiew.
4:42 pm
Punster

Of course! I'd get it in Cambridge and get into King's Cross an hour later. My only problem is where to go from there :)

4:48 pm

Kettering on the A14 before Northampton about 7 miles from Corby (we don't have a train station in Corby yet)
4:56 pm
lola100

katie, is there a london train from kettering or would you have to get to p'borough and onto that route? Very new to this whole train catching business, but I have made it to bristol and back a few times (by myself!) : )
4:56 pm
evanonut

okay cliffie, they're on the way. don't know how fast that program delivers though
4:56 pm
hetty

Katie W I live on the biggest of the Gulf Islands, a heavenly 90 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. Why don't you pop over for a weekend? I love large families (and I also was a girl guide, and a Ranger,in my time)
4:57 pm
KatieMcG

Lola, no it's a different route so it's either one or the other. I can get a bus to kettering but would have to drive to Peterborough. I go to London with work quite alot so know where offices and conference centres are but have no idea on pubs!!
4:58 pm

That sounds lovely, hetty.
4:58 pm

Hetty that would be really good. We'll sort something out nearer the time but it would be lovely to meet up :)

Hello All. Does anyone have the TO5/12 or the TO7/32?
4:59 pm
KatieMcG

I went out to Canada for Christmas and had a fantastic time, it was my first Christmas on my own and everyone made me so welcome I didn't have time to dwell on the past. I can't recommend Canada enough. If I was ever to emigrate anywhere it would be to there.
5:00 pm
lola100

hurshy??
5:00 pm
hetty

so, mab, you come too. But Snowyowl, Canada is a BIG country. Bigger than the U.S, in fact. Yor visitor to Canada will probably go to the East. Where is your emigrant family going to be, do you know?

there are two no 5/14... one means aristocratic, like a knight and his lady
10:26 pm

<waiting for an answer to kristinc's query for the no5/14>
10:26 pm
jeffer

no 5/14 reminds me of chef emeril
10:26 pm
JBsAnno

Got that one, stid!
10:26 pm
stidmama

the other no 5/14: is to cut a small "v" out of something
10:27 pm
JBsAnno

Thanks, jeffer! (do I have to do the kick thing, too?)
10:27 pm
cybernan

no 5/14: what gunslingers put on their gun after every kill
10:27 pm

jbsAnno how many words you need - you may not have time!!
10:28 pm
kristinc

ah...duh! Thanks! (I needed the "easier" of the 2)
10:28 pm
stidmama

sorry mam20... that le 4/5 is German for "learn"
10:28 pm
faeriekae

Yeah - No problems there. But he had to MSN me first.
10:28 pm

Meaning I wasn't able to add him until I recieved an IM from him

JB can do it! specially with the *magic chocolates*
10:29 pm
stidmama

jeffer, assuming you're not done yet?
10:29 pm
JBsAnno

Thanks, jeffer, I have 75 to go, but the operative words are "to go" as in "to go to bed, now!" I've gotten 7 hours sleep in the last 3 days, so no way am I finishing tonight.
10:29 pm
JBsAnno

Only if the magic is lots and lots of caffeine, stid!
10:29 pm

I'm just tired tonight I think. Lets try it tomorrow what do ya say..
10:29 pm
mam20

Thank you Stidmama....I got it!
10:30 pm
cybernan

I don't think dr. god is listening to us --- he only seems to be interested in bugs, not what we actually think of the site. There are quite a few still at the old site because of things like the type being too small to read on this one, the page is too busy, stats box hard to read, non-scrolling chat log, etc. etc.
10:30 pm
stidmama

oooh JB! that's not good... nope, the magic only works if you are basically okay -- and that's not enough sleep even for a mochajavacocoalatte!
10:30 pm
jeffer

JBsAnno then you may kick it up a ***** !
10:30 pm

Now...I need en6,24 and 6,18 please. almost done.

I'm on the old site! I much prefer it.
any help on the mo 5/14 (both puleez)
10:31 pm

Darn, stid, I was pinning my hopes on that magic potion-atta!
10:31 pm
cybernan

oh jeffer good clue *bam*
10:31 pm
faeriekae

Great clue Jeffer :)
10:31 pm
stidmama

I think Dr_G is listening, just trying to see how things run before tweaking things... or something like that. It takes time to get used to the change.
10:31 pm

(sorry, couldn't resist. Chalk it up to sleep deprivation...)
10:33 pm
cybernan

Whoever commented on the size of the type is correct -- it is smaller in the word list and as a result, the list is much harder to the read and hard on the eyes.
10:34 pm
Minski

It looks the same to me.
10:34 pm
bendamalina

If you are using Firefox, you can increase the text size, cybernan
10:35 pm
cybernan

let me go back to the old site (where I was working) -- not all of the words transferred over.
10:35 pm
mam20

I'm sorry Stidmama...maybe the day has gotten too long, but I am not getting your clue.
10:35 pm

time for bed even though not done yet. see you all tomorrow. nighty-night all

yes, in Firefox, go to the View menu and highlight text size, then click on increase text size

I know you can also increase text size in Safari (Apple's web browser), and I suspect you can increase text size in IE, but i'm not positive

sorry, Dr. God, but you've taken a wonderful game that I've hardly missed a day on since October/05 and ruined it!

I don't think it's just text size --- the overall clutter and the colour scheme is also causing eye strain for me

hmm helen, that's odd...what version of Firefox are you using?

I wonder -- if Dr_God made the boxes with the same two colors (instead of peach, green, lime green.... etc) that would cut down on some of the visual stimulation.
10:41 pm

I'm at 98 words, I'm going for an even 100, then gotta go to bed (yawn)

10:41 pm
helenkeller

bend - i don't know - my job is to play & use the computer, my neighbor sets everything up - but this is his line of work & he gives me the same stuff he uses, so i'm thinking whatever the lastest is, that's probably what i have
10:41 pm
bendamalina

I like the new site because I get to see tile stats and word stats even though I'm not a pro :) But I know that will change once the new site is no longer beta
10:42 pm
JBsAnno

helen, count your blessings! That's almost better than having a neighbor with a snowplow!
10:42 pm
helenkeller

i'm with you on that one bend :)))
10:42 pm
renfield

working kris....working, working , working!!!!!
10:42 pm
cybernan

I know -- I just feel so frustrated and sad, because I don't enjoy the game in the new format, and probably won't be playing much anymore when it becomes permanent. I will miss the fun, the chat and all of you.
10:42 pm
bendamalina

ok helen. it doesn't matter, cause I'm running an older version of Firefox and this feature was available with that version. I actually don't usually use firefox, but I was having trouble with beta babble crashing Safari
10:42 pm
helenkeller

JB he has a snowplow too !!!!!!
10:43 pm
helenkeller

and he actually likes to do plumbing !!!!!
10:43 pm
stidmama

yesterday Dr. God said that people would get all the stats for the first 14 days and then have to be pro to see them...
10:43 pm
JBsAnno

ren, I got cut off from Babble at work, so I can only play for a couple of hours on the site.
10:43 pm
helenkeller

i am very blessed -they are the best neighbors ever
10:43 pm
kristinc

ren...well good to see you anyhow (work sucks)
10:43 pm
JBsAnno

helen, if he isn't married (and if you aren't married already, LOL) propose to him. He probably cooks and does his own laundry, too! SNATCH HIM!!!
10:43 pm
bendamalina

hmm, cybernan...I think someone was talking earlier about opening chat in a separate tab in firefox, but I don't remember who that was, and I don't know if that meant that it didn't show up in the playing page as well
10:43 pm
renfield

oh jb...what happened??? it????
10:44 pm
bendamalina

helen...i'm curious about the text resizing not working...
10:45 pm
cybernan

One of my main objections to the new site is all the flipping -- that would just be one more, bend!
10:45 pm
helenkeller

jb - that's where the magic ends - he does hardly any womanly stuff, but has a wife who does all that for him - and she's a sweetheart too, bakes for us all the time & we are exactly the same age, lol
10:45 pm
JBsAnno

Yup, ren, the evil IT people think I should WORK when I'm at work! They've really cut down on what sites are allowable. Still, I can print off a grid at home before work, and write down words during the day.
10:45 pm
bendamalina

what flipping, cybernan?
10:46 pm
cybernan

Any way, I will leave you all now -- apologize for being such a downer --- really am upset by this. Good night all :)
10:46 pm
JBsAnno

ah, well, helen, you are counting your blessings, and I'm happy for you - it does sound like an ideal situation.
10:46 pm

good night nan -- see you tomorrow.
10:47 pm
kristinc

nite Nan, hang in there!
10:47 pm
helenkeller

nite nan
10:47 pm
bendamalina

I wonder if Dr. God got rid of the fancy border and made the whole thing white, and gave more space between everything, if that would make the site less visually cluttered
10:47 pm
renfield

i do that for lunch sometimes jb....we sit in the lunch room working on babble
10:47 pm
cybernan

You have to flip to see the whole log, flip to use a stats list,
and now flip to see larger type? -- no thanks
10:47 pm
bendamalina

well, good night cybernan...hope to see you again soon
10:48 pm
cybernan

It would certainly help as would a light grey background instead of white.
10:48 pm
bendamalina

oh...you don't like all the scroll windows. I see! okay, I understand now.
10:48 pm
helenkeller

yeah jb - i'm always worried they may move - i know he wants to, but she doesn't & they are going to wait until their youngest finished high school - only 2 more years - we have been neighbors (eeeek) over 25 years
10:48 pm
kristinc

ce7?
10:48 pm
bendamalina

I kind of like the scroll lists being separate because I don't have to scroll away from the board to look at my lists, or the chat log
10:49 pm
cybernan

Not the scroll windows --- the fact that the chat log doesn't scroll is what I don't like -- I think the scrolling word list is a great addition.
10:49 pm

one br 6/30 has double vowel inthe middle, the other has only one in the middle and the second vowel
10:55 pm
kristinc

stid...I have the double vowel one, what is the other? (confused and watchng the driveway)
10:56 pm
bendamalina

hrm, i think i still don't understand what cybernan means by flipping...but i think she's gone now...my chat window has a scroll bar?
10:56 pm
helenkeller

i dont get the flipping thing either (us amateurs!)
10:57 pm
stidmama

in order to see the entire chat for the day, you have to open a new tab or window and "flip" back and forth between that one and this.
10:58 pm
bendamalina

hey helen...if you want to know what version of a program you have, you can go up to the menu and there should be a selection that says 'about mozilla firefox', which, if you select it, should bring up a little box that says the version you've got. On my apple, there's a menu entitled "firefox", but I don't know how it is on a windows computer...
10:58 pm
stidmama

br + round vowel + clearing throat letters + second vowel...
10:58 pm
bendamalina

oh. why do you need to see the entire chat for the day? and also, on the old site it only kept the last 50 chat entries on display...?
10:59 pm
kristinc

thank you Stid...one more please?
bo 6/24?
11:00 pm
stidmama

when you want to get clues but not bother other folks who are chatting, it's nice to have the whole list available. On the old site, you could choose to have the entire log available on the same page.
11:00 pm
bendamalina

kristin...bo6/24 is the thing you put on a baby's foot
11:00 pm
bendamalina

ah, i see

can anyone give me a clue for the he8?
11:01 pm

oh, i'd forgotten that things are very different on windows computers. I didnt mean that you had to go looking through your programs
11:01 pm
stidmama

that is also an option on the old site that isn't here...
11:02 pm
bendamalina

when you have firefox in front, what are the menu titles?

11:07 pm
bendamalina

yeah, stid. i am curious as to why helen's text enlargement isn't working
11:08 pm
stidmama

my version uses <control>++ to get bigger
11:08 pm
bendamalina

helen...were you able to find the text resizing option in the view menu?
11:09 pm
bendamalina

yes, that's the quick key, stidmama. but if you aren't good at remembering quick keys, you can always go up to the menu to change the size of the text
11:09 pm
stidmama

right. that's true.
11:09 pm
helenkeller

yes bend it is there, but does nothing as far as i can see
11:10 pm
helenkeller

i have 3 words left, i will screw with the text when i'm done, just in case i do something stupid like ERASE ALL MY WORDS, LOL
11:10 pm
stidmama

hm. there is no reason it shouldn't... I think you may have to ask that nice neighbor...
11:10 pm
bendamalina

helen, what about if, as stidmama suggests, you try pressing the cntrl key at the same time as the + (aka =) key
11:11 pm
stidmama

you have to press the + twice in a row
11:11 pm
helenkeller

ok then i will let you guys help me with these last 3 - co 5/12

11:13 pm

k, ty stid
11:13 pm

ma 6/21 is another word for chestnut (looks like the word for a burgandy/red color)
11:13 pm

duhhhhhhh -thanks stid
11:14 pm
bendamalina

:D I saw that you already wrote yours, but I couldn't resist adding mine stid
11:14 pm
stidmama

:-) I figured -- never know which one's gonna work, anyway!
11:14 pm
helenkeller

so much easier when stid just gives me the clues
11:14 pm

life is easier when the answers are readily available... but maybe not as much fun?

11:26 pm

11:34 pm
bendamalina

well, you aren't using the browser that i thought you were using. so the options availble in your browser will be different, and even if similar, the commands you type to use them will probably be a little different, or work a little differently
11:34 pm
stidmama

can you tell us what browser you are using helen?
11:35 pm
helenkeller

ok, but why would the zoom work on the lickety page & not on this one?
11:35 pm
stidmama

there should be an icon and or a name at the top of the open window.
11:35 pm
helenkeller

sure, avant browser

helenkeller

just repeat
11:40 pm
bendamalina

helen, i've been looking for info on avant, but not finding any. i think stid's idea is best, but i have a feeling that your particular web browser has a way of viewing pages that have scroll areas in a way that won't allow it to resize the text.
11:40 pm
helenkeller

but it changes the lickety text

lickety's page is much simpler that babble's page. there is much less going on...i'm just guessing here
11:41 pm
bendamalina

we'll see what stid comes up with
11:42 pm
helenkeller

ok
11:42 pm
stidmama

bendamalina, I think you are correct. I see the text size options under the "zoom" helen mentioned, but it doesn't affect the font size. i'll look some more.
11:42 pm

bo 6/24 is what you put on a baby's foot

oops, sorry helen, i didn't see that
11:44 pm
helenkeller

np :)
11:44 pm
stidmama

hmm this is apparently a fairly new freeware, the help is minimal. Helen, for now I think you have to just live with what you see. If you want to use Firefox which is just as good for most applications (and the one Dr_G write for), then perhaps your neighbor can install it for you. It wouldn't be hard to do if you want to try though.
