... and everything is all huge-like. See recent threads re: the spam filter for screenshots.
The stylesheet borked again
Yeah, it's a mess, and I'm still getting the CAPTCHA nonsense with every post I make - it's ridiculous.
When you press the "edit" button, however, you get the tools.
I'm leaving for an overnight visit to the hospital now, hope it's all fixed when I get back.
Thanks for the heads up. I've contacted tech support and it should be fixed soon. Could you let me know when it's fixed?
Again: this has nothing to do with CAPTCHA or the spam filter, it has to do with regular site maitenence.
It's back to normal.
Great, thanks.
Over the last half-hour, I tried unsuccessfully to load the site a dozen times or so. However, it seems to be back. Was it an actual service disruption, or just dead-slow during that time?
Seemed dead (like outage dead) to me too LTJ
Bonus points for successful use of 'borked' in thread title
this is a test.
yes!
The board looks good again, and I haven't been CAPTCHA'd today. Is the spam filter turned off, or has it finally learned who the bona fide babblers are?
I clicked on Catchfire's new live-blog English debate thread, and the style sheet just broke. So much for the "Harper is not all-powerful" agnostics around here!!
Borked again!!!!
Yeah, that was quite something. It also happened to coincide with my first ever staff blog. The two were unrelated as it turned out, but that didn't stop me from packing my bags and leaving trace evidence pointing the finger at Rebecca as I skeedadled out of the country.
@Catchfire:
Seems okay now.
Sounds like the ol' I fled the country and left Rebecca holding the bag excuse. We know.
this is a test...

The formatting is fucked again.
it's okay here
It was fixed quickly.
testing
Strange - I upgraded to IE9 and every time I tried to post to babble I kept getting "comment field required" messages. I uninstalled and went backk to IE8 - and everything's okay again.
IE9 looked awful - it might be faster, but the appearance is lousy. I'm staying with IE8.
I guess a lot of people are not happy with IE9 already. And then there's this...

Those guys suck.
Truly, I have never seen anything as bad as IE9.
Testing. Posting has been hard on my upgraded device. Goin old school here.
It Bjorked again?
POSITIVELY ICELANDIC!
It seems the majority of this thread has disappeared: http://rabble.ca/babble/aboriginal-issues-and-culture/bmxing-burial-grounds-high-park
Is this a technical issue?
not cool
Will it be restored?
Seems not, at least at the moment, and no interest in even responding about its being missing, but google has caches of it all.....
Would a moderator care to comment on this question?
Bump-Is it possible to get an answer from someone in the Rabbleverse to this query or is it an unknown known?
A bit late to the party, but it looks like someone with admin powers accidentally clicked a button which erases all the comments to the original post. I think we've said before that this is incredibly easy to do and not realize it. I've restored the thread, but kept it closed, since despite the numerous excellent posts, was laced with vitriol and was already at 80+ posts. If babblers strongly want the discussion reopened, I'll do it.
Thanks Catchfire. My curiosity is sated.
Thanks, Catchfire. No need to re-open it, but there are some valuable thoughts amongst the vitriol that are worth preserving.
I concur, thanks catchfire...
babble's been acting weird for me the last couple of days. Text just disappears from the text field when I'm pasting, and sometimes the buttons (bold, italics, link, etc) aren't anywhere to be found.

And I thought that was just my 'puter playing tricks on me!

I've been having this same problem for a few days, but right now it seems okay. Usually if I refresh the formatting buttons reappear.
