Well perhaps you are making conjectures about certain people, ie "Person a is totally inept." I wouldn't be surprised if they don't post that kind of thing since they could be liable.

The comments were idiotic. Full stop.

Freedom of speech? Of course he has the right to say what he wants. But we also have the right to label him 1 ignorant, 2 pompous, and 3 not worth our future attention.

Why do only certain comments get posted on articles and more importantly letters to the editor and editorials?

I have commented here on many editorials and OR articles and everyone was posted.

That's because you were respectful, used proper language and didn't launch a person, possibly libelous, attack on someone. Your comments get posted every time because you're a responsible adult.

Auto-refresh is bad when you are in the middle of a comment and *poof* it's gone and you have to start over. (I'm thinking of typing my comments in Word, then copying and pasting.) And, sometimes my lame comments don't get posted either. Rolling Eyes



Don't leave your post to search for spelling, picture, etc., to add, when you return your words may be gone, I type in an e-mail then copy and paste when I want to save something I am writing.

That IS a problem with the comment system. If you're typing out a longer comment, the page will refresh, and you'll lose it. In those cases, it might be better to type the comment on a Word document, then copy and past it into the comment area.

Or in an E-mail, if you don't have the other. When you are done with the E mail, it will ask you to save etc, just click no and its gone. I can't do Power Point, Word etc, so I do the simple thing.

Sounds like the refresh rate on your pages is too fast. You could slow it down. I took a quick look at your page code on your story templates.

Code:
[ meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="600" / ]


That's the line that determines the refresh rate. You could increase the 600 to a larger number to get more time. Or you could just remove the refresh rate altogether if you don't need it; then the page will never refresh.

Edit: Its not letting me drop the code in there without replacing the <and> with [ and ]. In the original code, its <and>.

Yea, like I know what you are talking about Cy, it won't let me post pictures in a post anymore either even though I am doing it all as I did before . I eventually figure it out if I have to, but when it happens again, I forgot what I did to fix it the previous time. Sad, I know

That was directed at Brant, not you bus. I was recommending a change to the OR's site that would remove that refresh problem.
