It wasn’t me and I’m not sure when I can tweak things today but I will try.
Apparently someone decided to update the theme and plugins and so please bear with the site until I can get to it. Right now, having just woken up, I can barely type much lesss make a plan.
Open thread.
Baud
Thanks, Alain. The mobile site is also still spotty — often won’t load.

Its always something!!!’

I bought a new ssd for my MacBook Pro and I can’t get it to format !
Alain the site fixer
@Raven: yeah been there. Good luck..my issues were pc based but I feel ya pain!
amk
fucking cole. sure it’s him.
Alain the site fixer
@amk: lol likely after moving, late and tired, he clocked the update button. No biggie, just a pain for y’all until I can adjust things.
Elizabelle
Alain, sending you a delicious cup of strong coffee. With croissant.
Thank you, and what a headache to wake up to. On the positive side, no one is taking your earlier work for granted. (Comment numbers rock.)
Baud
@amk: We should organize a protest.
Baud
@Elizabelle: There are still comment numbers on the mobile site.
amk
@Baud:Yes, we should. It’s always
obama’scole’s fault.amk
@Alain the site fixer: sorry you had to always fix a republican’s mess.
what?
Alain the site fixer
@Elizabelle: FYI, a good croissant will get you anything! Now off to make some breakfast. I’ll be back in a bit when more conscious,
Alain the site fixer
@amk: lol

This is why I only read this site on my Kindle. Nothing ever seems messed up?

I will say I like the font. I can read it without embiggening on my phone.

My TV was on C-SPAN when I turned it on this morning and they were doing calls.
Oh my…

@Alain the site fixer: You will do what you can, when you can, as best you can, and when you are done this Luddite will say,
“Wow, it’s like magic.”
Elizabelle
@Baud: you might get me to tune into C-span. Are they whingeing?
Baud
@Elizabelle: I’m no longer watching, but yeah.

I went to the relatively small “rally” here. They had a permit to be there but not to march. It was held at the Athena statue so they tried to “march” around that. It reminded me of Mecca but folks did the best with what they had. The sound was awful even in a really small space and, since we were right next to a busy street, every time someone honked people responded with “whoo hoo’s” that made it even more impossible to hear.
Raven
@Alain the site fixer: yea, I think I’ll wait for OWC’s tech support tomorrow.
Elizabelle
@Raven: Lol. But good on you for showing up.
Baud
@Raven:
Or European Vacation.

John Cole – Making WordPress Grate Again!

My Kingdom for a site fixer.
Alain the site fixer
It wasn’t John, it was Adam. He sent me an email mid-night. Sorry John, didn’t mean to point a finger; I assumed other FPers wouldn’t update things.

I think it was OzarkHillbilly what done it. I think his “what did Alain do NOW?” comment from the thread below was just a smokescreen. And Quinerly was obviously in on it.
Next up: my theory as to how the alleged Russian hacking was a false flag operation by Hitlary.
SFAW
@Alain the site fixer:
Don’t worry, John’s a pretty mellow guy.
Patricia Kayden
@amk: No. It’s “Thanks Obama”. Somehow the Kenyan Socialist POTUS is always to blame.
amk
@Alain the site fixer:
so, putin bought off Adam too?
Alain the site fixer
@amk: through Pootie’s Scottish connections, I believe. My sources indicate he was paid in haggis and scotch.
debbie
@SFAW:
Are you sure this site hasn’t been hacked by the Russians? //
amk
@Alain the site fixer:
So, “Silverman” is just a smokescreen then? I knew it. It’s got false flag psyop written all over it.
debbie
I wonder if the very-larger-than-usual number of photos posted yesterday are part of the mess up?
amk
once a pathetic pos, always a pathetic pos.
amk
And class is always class.
Baud
@Alain the site fixer: Figures it would be the NatSec guy.
rikyrah
thanks for fixing it.
rikyrah
@Baud:
tell us, Baud.
what were folks saying?
Baud
@amk:
@amk:
A picture is worth a 1000 yoooge words.
Baud
@rikyrah: I clicked pretty quickly. The caller I heard was a real misogynist. Women should be grateful their don’t live in Saudi Arabia. Men should be paid more because they are more likely to be killed on the job. Etc.
Morzer
@Alain the site fixer:
If he’d been paid in poutine, he could have been Putin’s poutine putain…. the course of history might have been so very different.
Morzer
@amk:
The genius is that it names the price upfront… silver, man!
OzarkHillbilly
@SFAW: My incompetence knows no bounds.
ThresherK
Thanks Alain. I noticed something overnite and thought it was a browser update. (Yeah,I was sleep deprived then.)
SFAW
@debbie:
Da! I mean, Nyet! uh, … oh hell
SFAW
@OzarkHillbilly:
It’s less than Trump’s.
Hell, it’s less than mine!
OzarkHillbilly
@SFAW: When you die my incompetence will take the blame because it is too incompetent to deny it.
dance around in your bones
I thought I was hallucinating – from one thread to the next everything got tiny (Thanks Cheese Whiz!) and weird-looking (ditto “Prezz*!) …..still looks borked-o-rama today.
???? sigh…..
ETA: Ok, now looks better but things still missing – who stole my cheese?!

Testing comments features here.
Hi Alain, hope you have been well!
Editing.
Second edit:
Alain:
The back button isn’t right anymore.
After posting this comment and then editing it, I went back to your comment about Adam, scrolled to a reply comment, hit the back button and it brought me back to this comment at the bottom, not back to your comment about Adam where I wanted to go.
Another Scott
@amk: Thanks for those pictures.
Trump is such an inhuman monster. :-(
You know he’s counting the days until he divorces her so he can get someone younger; probably someone who looks just like Ivanka…
I think her cribbing of Michelle’s speech shows that she probably has a decent heart, and she really is trapped in a golden cage with him, but everyone makes choices and she’s living with hers…
We really were so lucky that Barack and Michelle were leading us for the last 8 years.
Cheers,
Scott.

Alain – If an update borked the site, I’m assuming you’re not using a child theme to store all the site tweaksand modifications. A child theme is essentially a subfolder in the theme that won’t be wiped clean when the primary theme is updated. Apologies if you’re using one and the update still f’ed things up.
Alain the site fixer
@Petorado: yes we do but we customize the theme’s code beyond the simple stuff.
