A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Cartoonist’s update: apparently all comments still go to moderation, and I don’t know why. At no point did I knowingly instruct the WordPress software to do this, and I’ve gone back through settings repeatedly trying to right things, and I don’t seem to have any affect. I don’t have a lot of time to deal with this at this time; all I know to do is come back every couple of hours during the day and approve your comments. It’s the only solution I can think of at the moment. I’m sorry for this annoyance.

Good morning! I am aware the discussion function of this page, which is a large part of its reason for being, has been a mess of date. I’m not sure what has changed in WordPress World. I have looked over the settings and everything seems to be usual. I’ve reset some things, so… be the first to try again today!

    Good morning. Arlo, you have to listen closely enough to satisfy Janis.

    Ghost, I hope you were able to see the real-time comic yesterday (Janis in her nightie) on a large screen monitor. Besides the very faint pink shading below her arms, there was a faint, but visible dark spot a little higher up. I noticed it after I figured out there was faint pink showing. It would have never worked if JJ wasn’t doing the colorization!

    As long as the comments are getting accepted, I can put up with entering my data for every post. And, on my browser, at least, there’s a drop down box once I start typing to make things easier. I’m guessing, JJ, that this isn’t the only site affected and your hosting company’s getting lots and lots of complaints. If I’m right, this won’t last very long.

    Here’s a screenshot of (one version of) a WordPress management screen, for “Discussion Settings”.
    If the checkbox where I’ve put a biig red arrow gets checked, that would make every comment require approval.

    Cheers,

      I appreciate your interest, but I’ve been using WordPress for over 10 years. I’m aware of the box. Problem is, checked or not, nothing matters in this latest version of WP. And I’ve reinstalled it and done everything else I can think of. — JJ

    hello there and thank you for your information – I’ve
    definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise some technical
    points using this website, since I experienced to reload the web site lots of times
    previous to I could get it to load properly.
    I had been wondering if your hosting is OK?
    Not that I’m complaining, but slow loading instances times will often affect
    your placement in google and could damage your high quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords.
    Anyway I’m adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out
    for a lot more of your respective exciting content. Ensure
    that you update this again soon.
