temporary downtime: site IP switching
Gord Barentsen posted a Blog entry in Fractal Points: News & Information
Hi everyone, Just a quick message to let you know that there might be some very temporary downtime on the site. Apparently, the last owner of the site's current IP address was something of a spammer, so the site's IP address is listed on some anti-spam databases. I've applied to have the IP delisted since it's now in good hands, but given that some of these people aren't exactly interested in talking to humans(!), I'm moving the site over to a clean IP. What does all this mean? It means that you may not be able to see the site for a short time while the change propagates across the Intertubes. Apologies for the inconvenience, but I don't want anybody thinking LiquidFractal is a spam site of any kind. cheers, Gord. -
Well, I originally had the site configured to do just that, but it created problems with the footnote functionality of the editor (every time you click a footnote it's a link, so a new browser window would open). So I had to disable it. I find that once you get into the habit of right-clicking a link and selecting Open in new tab or whatever, you hardly notice it.

Yeah, I don't currently have the expertise to change that - I think it would involve creating another CSS style, when all I'm really doing right now is changing colors around.

Please comment and/or vote here to let me know if you like the LiquidFractal_SkyBlue theme. This poll will be open until the end of February 2017.

Either that or some death metal album title! -
Yeah, what Kaitlyn said. For some strange reason, Status updates are not enable by default - if they're enabled for your member Group (which they are) you have to go into your Profile and turn it on.

BANNED FROM THE SITE That pun actually hurt! -
Is glad to see some new faces on the site (not that there's anything wrong with the old ones
)

Soooo, you're saying that the frog, as amphibious, is a symbol of the primordial waters of the unconscious relative to the...ummm...spinach of reflexive consciousness?

Someone asked me about this bookshop so I thought I'd add this: the bookshop doesn't have a storefront on Swanston, so you have to go into the building and up the stairs. Here's the entrance: The stairs are right on the left, and the bookstore is on the first floor up.

How....did that little frog survive so long in a sealed bag??

Many people have reported issues with Wifi in Windows 10 (both fresh and upgraded versions) where one can connect to a Wifi network but cannot access the Internet. Typically, the network will show a yellow caution sign in the system tray and be described as "secure, no internet" or something like that. If this happens to you, try this fix: Right-click the Windows button and open the Command Prompt in Admin mode. At the command prompt, enter the following commands in order: netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log Restart your computer. If this doesn't work, try the following (these are older methods) Open the Command Prompt in Admin mode, then enter the following command: netsh int ip reset Alternatively, try these: netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled netsh int tcp show global Whatever commands you use, be sure to restart your computer to apply the changes.

The Editor Buttons: An Overview
Gord Barentsen posted a Blog entry in Fractal Points: News & Information
Embarrassingly late reply to Tegan's request for some information on the writing buttons . I think most of them are self-explanatory, but AB2 is for inserting footnotes, and the notepad icon inserts a page break (although I haven't really experimented with it). The magnifying glass is a Post Preview function (which I admittedly forgot was there until now!), which will show you how your post will look in desktop, tablet and mobile views. The Tx button removes all formatting from your (selected) content, which is useful when you copy/paste from a word processor or webpage.[1] The eye is for Spoiler content; so Hope this (finally) helps! And remember - there's a Sandbox forum where you can mess around with any and all functions. Footnotes ^ PS when in the editor, hold CTRL and right-click for formatting options with pasted text. -
What does this say about our culture, I wonder...?

mmmm, tastes....sleepy! -
I needed to include this here as this is one of the most spectacular use of fractals I have ever seen http://www.creativeapplications.net/js/the-imaginary-kingdom-of-aurullia/

The Collected Works Bookshop was a surprising find, and perhaps one of the last bastions of intellectual bookshops left in the digital age. I'd say it's well worth checking out for this reason alone, but I have to give respect to anyone who stocks a hardbound volume of Novalis' Notes for a Romantic Encyclopedia! Support your local booksellers whenever possible! The address is: Level 1, Nicholas Building, 37 Swanston Street, Melbourne their Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/Collected-Works-Bookshop-175023895845165/
