This was a Test, but is actually a cry for help

So, I was trying to update information on this website just now, and for some reason it didn't work. I'm going to blame Tim. The site looks great now, though. So I guess I can't blame him too much. Tim makes things happen. In fact, I wish I could just be incredibly proficient with computer stuff and make things work like he does. But I can't.

I blame Internet Explorer

I (and 4 out of 5 IT managers) recommend using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer. You won't have problems like these and you'll have a much smaller chance of downloading viruses, malware, etc. Firefox has gained about 5% of the market share (up to about 10%) in the past year so it's obviously doing something right.
I fixed it for IE users though. Because they won't change.

Well, I don't know about Internet Explorer

Actually, Tim, I've been using Safari, Apple's proprietary browser. I'll give FireFox a try, if I can, but the tabbed browsing and robust pop-up control that's integrated into Safari has made me a very happy camper so far, until the LGT site started telling me that it might not be able to perform the edits I wanted to do because I had less than Mozilla 1.3!

Still trying

Ok, so here's this for you Tim... when I choose "edit page" on the main sites pages and when I choose "add comment" in the diaries I get the same error message:
"Mozilla <1.3 beta is not supported! I'll try, though, but it might not work"
It then goes on to give me the editing boxes. In the main page view I get boxes for title, who can view, type, link and summary, whereas in the diary I get "title,' "posted by," and most importantly a text box, which the main page thing doesn't seem to do. When I click "save comment" in the diaries to post my update it takes like normal, but when I do "update" in the main page absolutely nothing seems to happen.

Go to Bed!

Ian, You should not still be up at 4:09am! I hope the clock is wrong because you should be sleeping, dreaming of platform wrangling and Rock n' Roll Groupies. Get your 40 winks, cause this week is going to be killer!

I tried....

I tried to make this work with Safari this weekend, but alack, I could not figure out what the heck it's doing. You're getting the editor it's just deciding not to show it for whatever reason. I still recommend Firefox. They released their preview release of 1.0 today so you might try downloading and installing it again. It has all the features that safari has I believe (like tab browsing).

Victim of bad influence?

You said it yourself, "Tim makes things happen." That's because Tim is a winner; he hangs out with winners. You, on the other hand, hang out with losers, like that weird woman who writes Asian plays. Get a life!
