In reply to Boyd Mccollum's post on Tue 26 Feb 2008 :

I dunno – I've kind of gotten used to my senior age but being could also have benifits –- all those documentaries yet to be born...

That's weird – it only seems to allow for the year that was set originally plus the following five years.

I think we can officially confirm this as a bug. :-)

I've been informed that the server hosting The D-Word had a brief outage from 00:39 GMT today. I hope nobody was affected by this. Apologies if you were.

I'm looking into the birthdate bug...

And just to let everyone know, our host is going to move our server as a precaution against another outage. So the site will be down for about 5 to 10 minutes sometime between 05:00 and 0:700 GMT on Monday 3 March. Apologies again, but this should cause minimal disturbance and will insure further stability.

Those of you concerned about celebrating the wrong birthday can now adjust your profile and rest at ease. I fixed the bug and it will now let you choose any age between 12 and 100. If your age falls outside of those bounds, please let me know and I'll expand the options.

One hopes that someone makes it necessary to expand beyond 100. smile.

Fearless Leaders:
I have a request. It would be nice to be able to spell my last name correctly here on the mighty D. One is not allowed to have an apostrophe (and probably hyphen or any other common symbol used in names), and it's not permitted to have two capital letters in one word. I'm sure there are a few other D-Mc's, Mac's, or O'Whatevers who would also appreciate. I suppose I could simply sign each and every post, spelling it correctly. But the D-Cops wouldn't like that....
Very Truly Yours,
Lenville O'Donnell

Lenville, this will be fixed with the next update of our software.

Okey doke... thanks!

Lenville, I just figured it was jealousy, that they didn't want us to have too much pride – kinda like "Hey Laddie, why should you get to have 2 capitals letters in your name?" But alas, it's only a software thing...

Edited Sat 22 Mar 2008 by Boyd McCollum

Well, I just put an apotostrophe into Lenville's name, and if you don't watch out, I'll make you a Mc'collum.


Lenville O'Donnell
Sat 22 Mar 2008Link

Wow, thanks, Ben! And it didn't hurt a bit...


Boyd McCollum
Sat 22 Mar 2008Link

or M'CCollum. Wow, that'd be 3 capital letters in my name. And an apostrophe. I feel like a Scots-Irish-Vulcan!


Ben Kempas
Sat 22 Mar 2008Link

Well, apologies to Vulcan and everyone affected by this. I hate it when names are messed with. Peter will fix this ASAP.


Boyd McCollum

No worries Ben (at least for me), considering how good this site is, this is the equivalent of fine tuning/polishing an edit. Now can you imagine what would happen if you made the name field editable like the location?

Btw, many thanks to you and Peter for the continued work that you put in on the site. Very much appreciated!


Peter Gerard
Sun 23 Mar 2008Link

It's fixed now. I don't know how Ben snuck that apostrophe through four hours ago...

But this change leaves it in our own hands to judge how to capitalize our own names....


Ben Kempas
Mon 24 Mar 2008Link

That's pretty cool. I already corrected Boyd's name. (As for the others, please do it yourselves! Just promise not to give us ALL CAPS, OK?)


Lenville O'Donnell

Groovy, guys... thanks!

For some reason, I can't get the search function to work. This may have been dealt with somewhere, but... I can't get the search function to work. Any suggestions? (I have cookies enabled, btw).


Peter Gerard

What are you searching for? You need more than two characters in the search.

Well, I was looking for "Schoeps", "Inconvenient Truth", "pmw ex1", things like that.
