Best luck to you, carol jane. The wind is howling here on Delmarva but my cat Precious is in for the night after I called her two times. Am I really that old? Guess so. We have one of those door bell cameras and when I see myself in the front or the back door on replay, I think, am I really that old fart? Stand up Straight, dumkoff!

Peter Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I lie in bed beside you and watch you while you sleep And wonder who I was before I loved you Lying here beside you feeling so complete Thinking how I love and need and trust you Because I love you I'm a brand new person now because you love me I can face the world and have the cause I love you Because you love me because I love you Sweeter even still is knowing that you're lying there And let you soon awake and reach to hold me And anyway you want me that's the way that I am yours Love as strong as this lets you control me Because I love you.. Because I love you... and . . . I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you each step of the way And I will always love you I will always love you Bittersweet memories That's all I'm taking with me Goodbye, please don't cry We both know that I'm not what you need But I will always love you I will always love you I hope life treats you kind And I hope that you have all That you ever dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all of this, I wish you love And I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are presumably in your home in Canada looking at an electronic screen. I am in my home in Illinois looking at a different electronic screen. My screen does not display your screen and vice-versa. So even if I wanted to see what you mean, I can't. Hope that helps. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last forum software update resulted in mobile/smartphone and tablet OL displays that do not show all the options available when this site is viewed with a full-width browser. For an OL member viewing the main "All Activity" page (in a full-width browser on a desktop or laptop computer) ... the full set of links to such "backstage" places as Messenger/Inbox are available. Once the "viewport" shrinks past a breakpoint (~1200 pixels) the full set of links and options disappear from view. I've sent you a workaround, Caroljane. Basically, it's using the Messenger/Inbox URL as a bookmark. Hope that helps. https://www.objectivistliving.com/forums/messenger/ -- a video capture of what happens in a full-width browser once it 'shrinks' past the breakpoint: Edited March 2, 2021 by william.scherk Orthography, added video capture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 William, Thanks for the video. Now I see what you guys are getting at. This happens to me on a desktop when I zoom too far in. Here is my screen when zoomed in at 175%. (Circles in red added.) All the parts circled in red disappear when I bump up the zoom to 200%. Poof. All gone. And no way to get them back without zooming out. Also, notice that topics (first thread only shown--"Purpose of Objectivist Living...") are different in both versions, on the left and right. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I am messing around with WordPress and some other site-making platform. Where there is an option to change visual details for Desktop, Tablet and Smartphone views, this kind of disappearance thing happens, especially when Desktop view gets chopped down to Smartphone view. But then, the options are in hamburger menus and so on. With zoom, I've seen things disappear just like in the screenshots above with no shifting of the missing options to hidden menus. I don't think there is a fix for this. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there is a fix for this foible. In the video below I show what I found when checking the Invision "Community" forum and a couple of others. I am not a client, so can't log in and bitch, but I did get Invision to give me two weeks of a Test Forum. Michael, I haven't yet managed to reproduce the mystery of a Missing Hamburger Menu as administrator of the Invision test bed. I need the codenerd version of Poirot.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 William, Too much mystery. Out of respect for your effort, I watched the video. Didn't understand it and the music was annoying. So out of respect for the unrepeatable minutes of my life, I put it out of my mind. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william.scherk Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I believe the mystery of OL's missing Hamburger Menu can be solved. The Invision Community forum, Objectivism Online's forum, and the virgin Invision forum demo -- all three instances have no missing "mobile menu" issue when their viewports shrink. Why there but not here? The Invision community forum may have a useful answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 William, We have to choose our battles. I don't have the hours and hours I would need to haunt the material written by and for geeks on the Invision forum to resolve a small detail where a workaround is available (btw - hat tip to you for working it out ). As to a support ticket, I have asked for similar things before and the answer has generally been the equivalent of, "We can't do that at this time." My latest was about embedded social media posts and embedded videos. Since I agreed with them to cut off HTML in user posts for security reasons, I have had to rely on what the software allows to be embedded. The IPB people did some extra coding, presumably by popular demand, and made a list of social media and video sites where posts and videos could be embedded on IPB forums by simple URL. Unfortunately, this meant Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and, if I remember correctly, a couple of others. Then those social media giant jerks started censoring pro-Trump people and even President Trump. So I made a ticket asking if it were possible to include sites like BitChute, Parler, etc., or let me know a way I could do that and I got the answer that this can't be done under the software's current configuration. I could use HTML for my own posts, but since users can't, I believe doing so would not be fair. As a poster, my value is to keep myself to the same restrictions as everybody else. (I only use my superpowers as traffic cop or to fix some forum problem. ) From my view right now, this fickle hamburger is a thankless battle that will take a lot of time and effort and with very little return. Sorry... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to join the Invision Community forum, and am trying to understand the admin-side of my Invision Test forum -- if I am able to find a straightforward solution to the Hamburger Menu Mystery, I'll share it with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Peter, I got an update from IPB earlier today and applied it. There was a cookie problem on the IPB side. They sent a patch and I ran it the moment I received it. Since you never see this, let me give you a peek backstage. Here is what the notice looks like to me. It's even worse on my Administrator dashboard. (I did the screenshots for IPB since there was an issue when they sent this to me. They fixed it right away.) Since I applied the patch about 6 hours ago (about 2 hours from when you posted), that might be related to the problem you had. Maybe your cookies did not like the IPB cookies or browser or maybe they thought you were ugly or something. On my end, nothing changed, but different machines and configurations respond to coding differently. Hell, maybe it was the Russians or Ukrainians or Chinese...

I saw they were going to have an ABBA tribute band locally, but I probably won't go. My wife and family recently saw a Marty Stuart show, but I doubt anyone in Canada knows who he is, plus you spell favorite with a "u." joke.
