Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Come on, man.

Not all heroes wear capes.

We will not go back.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

“But what about the lurkers?”

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Where’s My Stuff on a Mobile Device?

This post is in: Open Threads

FacebookTweetEmail

I have been getting some questions about how to find things on the mobile device and figured I may as well share the information publicly in case it’s useful.

Where’s my stuff on a mobile device?

When you are in landscape mode on an iPad or tablet, you typically get the whole site looking like it does on desktop.  I say “typically” because the site auto scales based on the screen of the device you are using.

When you are in portrait mode on a an iPad or a tablet, you get the layout for mobile/phones.

In the mobile version, you have nearly all of the same items as the desktop, but you find things in different places.

You have the same navigation items in the white bar at the top that you have on a computer

Most of the right-hand side items on desktop can be found at the bottom of the page on mobile, after the last comment and the comment box.

Items in the category bar are mostly found in the “hamburger”, which is the 3 lines toward the top on the right.

Quick Summary

Between the stuff that’s on the bottom, the stuff that’s in the “hamburger”, and the stuff that’s in the white bar at the top, you have the same capabilities you have on the desktop.

Hot Tip for Navigation on Mobile Devices – White bar at the top

Up Arrow – up to the header at the top

Down Arrow – all the way down to the header

Left Arrow – previous thread (but you don’t see the name of the thread, you just go there when you click)

Right Arrow – next thread (same thing, no thread name; this is transportation to the next newest thread)

COMMENT in the white bar at the top

– takes you directly to the box where you can write a comment.

– it can also be used to take you to all the stuff that’s on the right-hand side on a computer.

REFRESH in the white bar at the top

– this is handy on mobile where you might have to swipe multiple times before you see the browser refresh button

– on a desktop computer, it’s faster if you refresh in the normal way, but this REFRESH still works

Plus a Tweet for Fun!

Here you go

? 3 eggplants peeled and thinly sliced

6 cups of spaghetti sauce is nice

1 package of some shredded mozzarella

Breadcrumbs are an important part

The ingredient love comes from the heart

    de-lurking to comment on Disney + — it’s worth it for the nostalgia factor alone.  I binged watched Darkwing Duck yesterday.  They also have Jeff Goldblum talking about sneakers, so there’s that.

    @rikyrah: I bought in yesterday. Watched the first episode of Mandalorian and Captain Marvel. Both pretty good. In any case, the combination of Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, Nat Geo, plus others looks unavoidable.

    Hey guys, I am going to change the title of this thread.  So this thread will go away in a minute, and will return with a different title.  You’ll be able to find it on the front page.

    BREAKING: In major court victory ahead of 2020, Florida federal court throws out state’s ballot order law that lists candidates of the governor’s party first on every ballot for every office. Finds that it gave GOP candidates a 5% advantage. @AndrewGillum lost in 2018 by .4%

    November 15, 2019 at 2:47 pm

    @WaterGirl:  Me too. I generally get no @reply the first time, but do get it the second time. If I then try ‘reply’ to a different comment, I get both @reply1 and @reply2, which is also wrong. iPad, current OS, Safari.

    @WaterGirl: I am still having the “no @reply in text box” problem. It consistently happens only the FIRST time I hit Reply after going to the comment page for a given post. Every time after that, the nym appears (and I get multiple nyms if I go back and hit Reply on multiple comments without posting the reply).

    I don’t know exactly what you’re asking, but when I switch to Text mode in the comment editor the formatting buttons go away. (Win10, Firefox.) Also have to press Reply twice to get the @Commenter.

    @MattF:

    If I then try ‘reply’ to a different comment, I get both @reply1 and @reply2, which is also wrong.

    I believe that’s how it’s supposed to work; that’s how you reply to several people in the same comment. If you want to start over, use the “Clear Comment” button down by the “Post Comment” button.

    @WaterGirl:

    I have the no @reply situation and it’s quite consistent.

    First time on a page if I hit reply, no @reply. Close box, hit reply and the @reply is there.

    Next reply works normal.

    If I leave the page, or go to another post, the routine starts over again.

    November 15, 2019 at 3:06 pm

    @Steeplejack:

    It occurs to me that I might get the “no @Commenter” Reply thing because I hop around among several open threads and may be repeating the “first time in a thread” thing.

    Although I just commented in another thread, came here and got the @Commenter first time. Go figure.

    @WaterGirl:  Right now, I get a blank text box, with no Visual, Text or formatting buttons. Also, I get your nym in the old a href format.

    Also, most seem to say they have to hit Reply twice to get the @Nym, I think it should be stated, as a few others already have, that this means first pressing Reply, then the X in the upper right to close the window, and then pressing Reply a second time. The X comes in between. / and yes I am a pedant. ;)

    ETA Ruckus just explained the Reply twice thing far better than I am able.

    @jeffreyw:  I believe you are the one who mentioned Zoom Text  Only, which I am now using, and I suspect that it’s messing up the scrolling when the page is refreshed.  I don’ t think I noticed it before installing the addon.

    A tag (is that the right term) for posts like this might be helpful.  I’ve been bombarded with work lately and have to peek in now and again to look for navigation and use related tips.
