Lock Out Test

[georged]

Can't comment in threads, so seeing if I can start one

 

[georged]

Apparently I can.

Houston, you've got a problem...

You also commented in this thread, proving that your privileges have not been revoked (presumably some good will towards a very very very old man trying to use the internet?).

 

[georged]

Now I'm guessing that threads can be selectively "soft locked" by mods.

Sneaky, if so... lol

Sas, try commenting in that auction thread and report back.

 

[jpberg]

Too little too late. The damage has been done.

 

[georged]

Yup.

It looks like when the comments drifted toward unfavorable territory regarding the specimens up for auction, the thread was shut down "invisibly".

 

[georged]

This keeps getting weirder.

A comment was finally added, but the following msg keeps blocking me no matter what I do, how I format, who I quote, or etc.

But ONLY on that thread.

 

[trouttimes]

Control !

 

[didimauw]

Not sure what's happening. But @admin may know.

 

[ssjones]

George, I don't think what you are suggesting is even possible.
Try opening a different browser and see what happens.
What thread are you referencing?

I did a test post (and deleted it) no problem in that thread George.

Also try removing the tinfoil hat. It doesn’t work, and it just pisses off the Proxima Centaurians. Try plasmaspheric hiss; that’s what I use.

 

[georged]

Logged out, restarted computer, cleared cache, all that stuff.

No change.

 

[yohanan]

Try Parseltongue and see if that works, That has always worked out for me.

 

[ssjones]

I also suggested you try an alternate browser. This issue seems isolated to you.

There is no feature to "soft lock" a thread, or "invisibly" close it.

Whatever is happening, George, is on your end. Sorry I can't be of more help. I did look inside the backend to double check, and there are no restrictions on your account.

Ixnay ona aa uthtra,eedna ota eepka oerGa ina heta arkda.

I'm hoping George lost his Star Trek Universal Translator.


Seriously, George try another browser

It's probably because you use a Radio Shack TRS80, George. :D

George now an Apple and upgraded to a Mac Classic in 1990, so with 4 mb of RAM, he's ready to rock the internet. I think his dial-up AOL service might also be a problem.
(I actually bought one of these in 1990!)

Was that an SE?

Got a Mac Plus ca 1986 when floppies were on the way out, and the hard disk that held a few Kb's were on their way in. Not long after, they doubled the capacity of those disks.
