Pet Talk is Open

Thanks, Paul will look into that. When I use Safari, it works fine, Firefox does not.

I tried it with IE and it worked.

Something else you may have noticed:

Now, where it listed "the newest user" it is the most recent person I have approved as a member, not the most recent person who has registered, but is not yet approved. This will keep you all from seeing all the drug-name spammers, etc., who register and try to join. You don't "See" anyone until we say they are good to go. So if you have a friend who registers and wonders why they are not showing up yet, urge them to post an intro or comment, so I will know they are a real person!

I found a glitch related to this.........
Under "What's going on/currently active users", I clicked on a couple of unfamiliar names, and they are definitely of the spam variety and just registered today 1/26.
If you want the names I'm referring to, let me know.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but my question is: Who (or what) is Baidu Spider?

Baidu is the Chinese search engine, the equivalent of Google for China. So it is expected, and even good that it is scanning Pet Talk!

So, more changes:

You will notice "Today's Posts" is now in the top green bar, and the "Home" button, that was useless, has disappeared.

All the Google gadgets should be working, progress is being made!

Karen - an FYI. The "top" feature is now working with Firefox.

Hmm, did your Firefox update itself? That's good that it is now working, in any case.

I know there has been at least one update since the original problem - I really pay them no mind since they are automatic.

[Karen]

That would explain it - they fixed a flaw in Firefox! Thanks for letting us know, in any case!
