Title: UNDER ATTACK

Well, you've read the notes, the board is under attack, and now it is time for you to post until the under attack cows come home.

From the notes: "Today’s topic of discussion: Have we all just about had it with this here site or should we continue having them fix it once and for all?"

It's a surprising question, in that I don't see any indication that anyone who's a regular on the site now has had it with the HHW site.  It's a community based in this HHW site being here, and if the HHW site were to go, the HHW community would go.   People go away for a while and come back, and drop by when their schedules allow; that couldn't happen at all if the HHW site were gone.


But then, a lot has been discussed about the avatars - I'm genuinely confused about why the avatars appearing and disappearing has anything to do with anyone feeling like part if the community here and certainly not the site continuing.  The New York Times comments area basically has no avatars at all, and that's going on.  Facebook has the profile photos, but they're so tiny that no one seems to see them as a dealbreaker.

Good morning, all.

Last night we were vegging out in front of the tube, watching the NBC highlights (we got Peacock for the duration of the Olympics, but were just in the mood to be spoonfed the goodies last night). I'd been ketchuping on the site fine for a while, but at some point HHW literally dropped off the internet ... and it stayed gone. When I went to bed and eventually gave up my losing battle with Mr. Sandman, it was still toast. Checked first thing this morning, and was glad to see that BK was able to post the notes. I think keeping the historic uninterrupted streak of HHW notes going is a priority in these unsettled times.

This is so odd: 

On my iPad and iPhone, I now can't log in here using Chrome. I get into a loop of putting in the name and password and watching the password blank out as I hit "submit" ... so it's like HHW never gets the password. (That's a layman's description, who in the HELL knows what is actually happening.) But somehow HHW works with Safari on those two devices, at least this past week, so at least I can get in. This morning, however, on the laptop where I use Safari every day for HHW, it just started doing the same thing. The login never completes. So I went to Chrome on the laptop, and it's working fine. Absolutely the opposite situation. I'm sure this will change yet again before all is said and done, because it's all so random.

BK, we all appreciate this board so much. So many friendships have been made here.

The avatars make it easier to see who's posting. But it's not a dealbreaker for me.

My life is so boring I really have nothing to say. And that's not a bad thing, really.
