In reply to: Archive of all postsThe link given by Moshu is no longer working and the plugin is not available or supported. Does anyone know of another plugin that will do the same thing. (different number of posts displayed on index, on archives, category, search etc…)
Thanks!

In reply to: Remember me in comment form?I think if you (or others in your family) have logged on to a WP site from the same computer using more than one login, then there are two different cookies for the same site and it is left blank as the computer does not know which one to fill in. Clearing out ALL cookies seems to fix this at least until you re-create the problem again by using two different logins to the same site.

In reply to: Remember me in comment form?Maybe I need to try a different title for this question, but I am still trying to figure out why my site won’t remember that commenters have commented before and fill in the info boxes automatically.
Can anyone help out with this?
Thanks!

In reply to: Question re: step 7 of backing up dbMaybe I’ll try this plugin again. I had it a while ago, but it caused trouble that I could not resolve, or remember now.

In reply to: Remember me in comment form?This form is automatically filled in on most WP sites. I still can’t figure out why mine will not do it.

In reply to: Question re: step 7 of backing up dbWow! I forgot about this until doing another backup. No answers, but I still wonder.
Also, I find the “complete inserts” and “extended inserts” boxes ticked by default. Is this correct?

In reply to: Can anyone see the error in this code?Thanks syncbox. What are you meaning, diffentiating between line breaks and <br>? I thought <br> was a line break?
Except for some of the br’s, the things you bring up are part of the authors original code. I probably am not good enough at this to make the changes you suggest, but I’ll post the suggestions for the theme’s author.

In reply to: Can anyone see the error in this code?Thanks for the heads up on the IE7 vs 6. I still use 6, just to view my site in situations like this, and should change that right away.
I will spend some time working through your other suggestions. It’s a bit above my proficiency and I will probably stumble a bit, but that is how I learn best.
Thanks again for the help and I’ll post back with any further questions or, hopefully, news of success.

on edit: Your suggestion for using CSS to handle the first letter of the post works perfectly!

In reply to: Can anyone see the error in this code?Thanks! Here is a link to one page. Viewed in ff, it is fine, in IE, the date does not display. I also just noticed that the html I am using to change the initial letter of each post works fine in ff, but messes up the spacing of the first 2 lines in IE. But… that is another issue.
I am starting to hate IE!!
Thanks very much for your help.

btw: One of the attempts I just made to change from span to div in the single.php file DID allow the date to start displaying in IE. But it messed up the font size, formatting and bumped my sidebars to the bottom. I could not overcome those results, so it is now back to the original code.

In reply to: Can anyone see the error in this code?Thanks Aleister – I just tried a couple of ways to do what you suggest and was not successful. I think it is my mistake, however, as one of my attempts made the page display go blank.
Are you able to give a more specific instruction to doing what you suggest either as an edit to the style sheet or the code quoted in my first post?

In reply to: Can anyone see the error in this code?Thanks for your response, pcmt. I am trying my best to debug this, but no success yet. If you have any other ideas, keep them coming!
One of the first things I tried was what you suggest. That gave me control of the width, but did not cause the date to be displayed in IE.
What is strange is that the link is there, just invisible. As I said, I can hover over it and click through to all posts on a given date, you just can not see the text of the post date displayed on the screen. Frustrating!

In reply to: Can anyone see the error in this code?Thanks for that direction, whooami. I struggle with the learning curve of CSS much more than with PHP. Here is all that is in the orig. css for date. I tried a few things and managed to change how the date displayed in ff, but nothing I did got it to display in IE.
Any suggestions?

In reply to: My Lists Are Double SpacingI have had issues like this. I found they were double spacing in IE, but were fine in Firefox. Is this the same for you?
I managed to get it working fine in both, but not with code that validates!

In reply to: Bad Behavior QuestionI am having a real hard time coming to grips with Bad Behavior stopping comments before they arrive and not being able to see what is blocked. I tried verbose mode, but I still don’t see any way either in the options panel or in phpMyAdmin to check what BB has blocked.
Does anyone know how to do this?
If I can’t occasionally check what is blocked, then probably BB is not for a worrier like me!
