TTAC Switches to New WordPress Platform
Well, here we are, sitting on the latest WP platform. So far, so good. Well, except for the problem with the podcast and the numerous New Content Notifications sent out for same. And yes, we know that the podcast's iTunes listing falls off the proverbial table after two days. Rest assured, as I do, that our highly capable technical staff are on the case. There's a lot of custom code within this sucker, so they've done well to get us this far. While they sort that out, if you experience any other glitches, please note them below. Hopefully, the new WP platform will solve the problems with the comment edit functions and, get this, offer some advantages. Like… a gallery! Yes, an honest-to-God photo gallery function with thumbnails and all. The new platform is also a first step towards our totally rad web 2.0 site. But, for the time being, thanks again for your patience, understanding and participation.

If I click on the pictures on the Auto News Blog items, to see them bigger, I get two different responses. 1. GOOD. A white field opens on a black background, the picture appears with a caption and a CLOSE X button. I click on the X and I return to the news article. 2. BAD. A white field opens on a black background, a rotating icon appears and just keeps rotating. No picture, no caption. To get back to the news item I have to press ESC and click on the RELOAD icon.

Can this be... If I write a comment offline and paste it into the comment box and submit it, it doesn't show up, but if I type it directly into the comment box, it does?
Can this be… If I write a comment offline and paste it into the comment box and submit it, it doesn’t show up, but if I type it directly into the comment box, it does? EDIT. I copied and pasted the above comment from my previous post. This worked fine. But I have attempted to copy and paste a relevant comment from a WordPad document, no dice. Will keep trying. (Maybe copy first to plain text file, thence to TTAC?)
OK, it is working now. Here's an additional comment: 3. Also, the caption doesn't always show up when the cursor hovers over the picture.
