whats with the 'please proof you're not a robot' that I mow have to fill in before posting a comment.....is the site trying to get rid of all commenters????

It signed me out when I didn't sign out or close my email window. Hmm.

The source jpeg also needs to be embedded for those who still can't see the Instagram embed.

Regarding the sign in issues:

This problem was also being discussed/addressed in another thread that has gone to the second page, but is still an active thread, with new comments having been posted.. Here's the link to that thread:

In brief, the blog Administrator has been made aware of the problem (as of yesterday).

She said, when advised of the problem (people being unexpectedly logged out and required to log back in again) that NO additional steps or security measures have been put in place by Admin to require anyone to sign in each time or to fill in the "captcha" aka "robot box" aka "word recognition" test. She went into the program and made sure it had not accidentally been turned "on" as a security feature.. It was indeed turned off so we aren't sure why it's happening.. Google Blogger occasionally has issues, as some may remember a while back, the entire blog was suspended by mistake.. Not a happy moment for any of us! This blog wasn't the only one.. So it seems something is going on again...

So anyway, right now, we're thinking it may be a glitch in the Google Blogger program.. If it continues, she will investigate further... Apparently the program will occasionally throw out the "captcha box" if it somehow feels that the blog is being spammed etc. by "anonymous" or "robots"., which is what the "captcha" word recognition box is there to prevent. Obviously, none of you here who are reporting the issue to us are spammers! Even one of the Admins had it happen without warning this week...

So in other words, we are aware of the problem, we apologize, and please let us know if it continues.. I'll alert the Blog Owner again that it is an ongoing problem...

Thanks!!!

And while we're on the subject of problems/issues with the 24/7 site, just a question:

How many are unable to see the Instagram pictures?? We went through this a while back and it seemed that most are able to view the pictures as posted.. They are embedded and should theoretically be viewable to all.. But when it was discussed previously, it seemed to be a problem with some web browsers occasionally..

I have a Mac, and run Safari, and can view Instagram pics, vids, etc.. with no issues... I also have an Instagram acct. but those who do not have accounts generally are able to view them with no problems.. So that isn't the issue..

Some people can view them here on another "device" ie iPad or smart phones even if they cannot view on their computer.. or vice versa...

The recommendation and general resolve has been to try (download) another browser, for instance instead of Internet Explorer, try Firefox or Google Chrome.. Both are compatible with PC's and Macs..

I will also ask the other admins to embed a link for the instagram picture from the original source..ie Adam's instagram acct, or other sources, as they come up.. For a while, I was screen capturing the picture and posting it, which solved the problem.. But to be honest, it's quicker to embed the Instagram code into the thread.. The majority can see it just fine, thankfully! And Instagram recently made it possible to include the caption along with the picture.. It used to be a two step process, with an embedded picture and then a screen shot of the caption.. Or a screen shot of the entire page, which while it solves the problem of being able to view it, in one fell swoop, also makes the picture itself smaller.. And we know we would prefer to see the pictures of Adam BIGGER!!! I know I would :))))

Feedback would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

Glitzylady, thanks for checking into the captcha problem. It does not affect me personally, but I know how frustrating those things can be. I've sometimes had issues on AO, and it dries me nuts. Hope it can be resolved soon.

Now in regard to this thread about meeting Adam. I have NEVER met Adam or even seen him in person up close, just from afar. I love to hear how beautiful he is in person and how he just has a "presence" about him, a kind of aura. I'm sure that whenever he enters room, heads turn. He was a star from the moment of his conception. LOL. BTW, I love the little shock of hair on his forehead. Cute as can be.

Hi Glitzy...
I have an HP laptop and a mac main computer. I can see the instagrams pics on both, use chrome....
Can't always see instagram vids though.

I have a question....as a non-twitterer. What the heck are the purpose of # hash tags? They are part of the message, why aren't they just included?

Hi, using Google chrome. Thanks for the help. If majority do not have a problem I will just let my imagination run wild! :)
