HmCody Commented on Dems Gain Major Momentum In Battle For House by Eric Kleefeld

Unfortunately, the Sun has decided to become a New York Post wanna-be, so they don't do actual news anymore. Though you can find out anything you want about Michael Phelps...

I hope Kratovil can pull it off. One thing that he may have going for him over past Democratic candidates is that Gilcrest is a pretty decent guy and a lot of Dems were willing to vote for him. Harris hails from the Looney Toons wing of the Republican party and isn't likely to pick up much Democratic support, if any.

I'm so confused. I thought Barak Obama was the Democratic candidate, but from this ad I guess it is really John McCain. Who would have known?

I suspect it IS the preview. I posted the second comment without previewing and all is as it should be.

Another wrinkle.

When I posted the above comment (I don't know if it matters, but I also previewed the comment before submitting) I used the link on the page that comes up to indicate that the post is complete to return to this page . "Hi HmCody" is now at the top, there is no Follow me, but it looks as if the page is stuck loading something. All the ads look like they are there. And the comment box is odd, it wants my name and email address (not a request to sign in) even though the top of the page indicates that I'm logged in.

Don't you just love computers? ;)

The Follow me seems to be showing up OK if I am logged in. The system still seems to be confused about when I am logged in. If I log in at the top of TMPCafe it lets me look at my dashboard OK, but then when I click a link to go to a thread I seem to be semi-logged out, i.e. "Log in" appears at the top of the page and I am asked to sign in if I want to make a comment. When I click on "Log in" or "Sign in" I don't have to re-enter my User name and password, but I get the Hi HmCody message at the top, Follow Me appears and I can make comments. I can live with this, I just don't think it is the way you intead for it to work?

P.S. I think the preview feature is FANTASTIC! I am forever messing up my tags (backslash/frontslash dyslexia) and now I can check before I post.

I actually read it when it came out; my poor brain just doesn't seem to retain all the details anymore :( On the upside, this could cut down on my book purchase costs, as I could just keep re-reading books that I liked but can't quite remember!

OK, I tried loging out, clearing everything (cookies and temporary internet files) close the browser, open and logged in. I went to my dashboard, clicked on your comment and when I got to your blog entry there was no Follow Me. Scrolled down to comment and noticed that it was saying I needed to sign in to comment. Checked the top of the page and it had the Login link. Clicked that and was automatically logged in without reentering my info. Now there is a Follow Me.

I know that others have reported similar login/logout problems, but I don't recall the solution. Could you remind me? Thanks!

Well, after clearing, a Follow Me showed up for you so I clicked it. Now they all seem to be gone again. I also tried rebooting and turning off the phishing filter. No good.

I just noticed that there is a Waiting for http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/agolis/2008/10/tpmtv-explains-mytpm.php..." messsage in the IE7 status bar. Maybe the page isn't loading fully?

Just to make you even more nuts, a Follow Me showed up long enough for me to Follow Deanie Mills, then went away again. I'll try clearing the cookies and let you know.

Thanks, Deanie. Well thought out as always.

Back when I was deciding who to support in the Democratic primaries, one of the things which convinced me not to vote for Hillary, who I had long liked and admired, was the fact that she seemed too ready to get into a fight at the first sign of opposition. I don't believe that our current problems will be best solved by that approach. And John McCain is even more inclined towards it. One of the things I like about Obama is that he is good at laying out the problems. He may not always immediately have the solutions, but he attracts bright, capable people who help him think through the right approach. And if fighting ends up being the right answer for a particular problem, I think Barak will fight as hard as anyone. But only after he has thought about it first. I agree, he is capable of thinking the revolution, not just fighting it.

I'm not big on TV these days, but I may have to go watch John Adams.

The vid was very helpful. I've been looking for the "Follow me" button since the beta went up and thought I was being dense. I may still be dense but now that I know where to look, I can see that "Follow me" is not appearing under anyone's profile when I am signed in.

Any suggestions?

Having spent the day working out the kinks on a web site I am redesigning for a club I belong to (thank the maker, not online yet), I feel your pain and really don't think the TPM upgrade is going badly. Keep up the good work!
