Site Revisions
Major site redesign.. my previous site was too cluttered for new users.. PLUS I always had a problem with new posts not readily being apparent. I decided to move to a more “Blog” type layout, similar to many of the most popular sites.
Here is where I will attempt to keep you updated on changes I make to the site as I make them.
Sunday April 18 2010 -
- Site still does not work in ie6.. I will have to write code for ie6 to fix it.
- Forums are still running, they just haven’t been “re-skinned” with the new look yet. You can get to them by clicking here.
- I will clean up the comments sections shortly.. I don’t like the grey color while writing the comments, I will make your names bigger, etc.
- I will be renaming some of the sections so that they show up better in the navigation
Monday April 19 2010 -
- I added BuddyPress which adds social networking components… I still need to play around with it to see exactly what it does.
- I still need to move the comment box to the top of the comments.
- Whoops, I went to sleep with two test posts showing up in the homepage!
Tuesday April 20 2010 -
- The Buddypress social networking stuff is starting to look good.. I got the design down and I think it will be a good addition to the site as it really allows you follow what people are up to and participate.
- I am working on integrating the BBPress Forums into the whole site.. it’s still complicated. All of these BuddyPress and BBPress components are PART OF WORDPRESS.. so I am not adding in things that don’t belong!
- The Avatar Upload Cropping Feature is BROKEN! I am working to fix it.
- UPLOADING AVATARS WORKS NOW!
- You can crop your avatars as well! Yeah!
Saturday April 24 2010 -
- Site Forum (note the singular) is now integrated into the site.. it used to be called Forums.. but Forums are now attached to Groups.. oh.. it’s so confusing!!! Anyway.. The Forum(s) that you are used to are now available by clicking the link called Site Forum at the top Nav…. Groups and Groups Forums are available at the Group nav link. I’m still trying to work out exactly how to use them all… any suggestions are welcome!
- I think the site if pretty much back to fully functional… so we should be able to start using the site in ways we were never able to use it before! Yeah!
Any other problems, please let me know in the comments below.
Thanks!

Word of the day by ...
I wish there were some old pictures of the previous site so I could remember what it was like…..
Boy the threads are all screwed over here!
p.s if that was just an input text field… it is ridiculously simple to stop, just add maxlength=30 like so…
<label for="field_1">Name (required)</label>
<input type="text" maxlength=30 name="field_1" id="field_1" value="ɦʘqɦʇɪʌɐɹb" />
Do you have use an .htaccess file for blocking bad bots and site rippers…
http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess13.shtml
p.s. that bikini picture above is fantastic.
It’s that time when many students have completed their school work and are ready for {graduation}. Maybe you can show us your “Last Bell” – ПоÑледний звонок – pictures? That would be a treat!
@Marina,
There is a problem with the Ajax editing.
When entering the Ajax edit box, the three sentences below had a single white space between them. As soon as I enter the Ajax editor, the white space were removed.
Edit: I was able to manually add the white spaces back in the Ajax editing, but as soon as I return to the Edit box again, the white spaces are removed.
I will now add the white spaces in Edit.
Paragraph test:
1. Sentence 1
2. Sentence 2
3. Sentence 3
Is this an issue?
Yes, it is an issue; an aesthetic issue of preserving white spaces between lines of text.
I like using white space between paragraphs.
If I post more than one paragraph, then the white space between paragraphs is preserved. But, if I go to edit my post, as soon as the edit window comes up, the white spaces between paragraphs disappear. If there are three paragraphs, then they all seem to be run together which is not aestheticly pleasing.
@Marina,
This is probably a low priority and is most likely
a feature that hasn’t been implemented yet?
- In the comments click on any one’s member name excluding your own
to visit that member’s Activity channel.
- click on the member’s avatar (upper left) or display name next to the avatar.
Instead of clicking, you can also look at the browser status bar (lower left) and see the link target.
Clicking any member’s avatar takes you to your own channel.
My guess is that the link is a featured placeholder to be used for or by that member?
Currently, that link is probably empty and clicking that link sends the person that clicked it to their own channel.
Is this still an issue? I don’t think you can click on avatars unless in the Buddypress part.
Not sure if I would call it an issue per se.
When I click on Captain Jack’s name below, it takes me to his Activity channel. When I click on his avatar at the top, it takes me to my channel. I would have expected to be taken to maybe his website, or maybe the same page or something related to that member. Maybe it is an anomaly, or maybe there is a feature where a member’s settings can program that link?
Now with the new changes and deletion of some of your plugins. Can you now add some sort of html comment editor so we don’t have to type in all that code every time we wish to post?
I don’t think there is a comment plugin that is that advanced. :sad:
There are a few of them. This is just was the first one that I found. There are others. The issue last time, I think, was in conflict with another plugin. Maybe Marina can shed some light on it.

Regarding the issue of the Gravatar:
@Marina, yesterday morning I had a discussion with Doug regarding his Gravatar. I wasn’t able to do the research then, but Doug found a Developer FAQ on the Gravatar site that says that not only must the email address match, but the email address must be in the same case on both sites.
Ref Doug’s post
Historical footnotes:
I joined this site in July 2008. At that time the site was not using any avatars yet, but shortly thereafter you were using the WordPress avatars, and then shortly after that you implemented the connection to the Gravatar site. I remember issues with not only the Gravatar site but with the gravatar plugin on this site, one of which was having to do with upper and lower case use of an email address. That is a long time bug.
By definition, an email address is case insensitive. That means that any portion of an email address may be upper or lower case just as it is for a domain name. The portion after the domain name is case sensitive.
Now, the gravatars were working for everyone until the implementation of the Buddypress plugin were about 50% of the users lost their gravatar image. I suspect in many of those cases, the loss may be due to the email upper/lower case bug.
I just tested it by going to my profile and I changed one letter in my email address to an upper case letter. I lost connection with my gravatar immediately.
When I changed the letter back to lower case, my grvatar returned. In other words, the email upper and lower case have to match on each site.
I suspect that the Buddypress plugin may have caused the bug in the gravatar module to re-appear where the email address is case sensitive, but where it should not be. Perhaps you can open another ticket on Buddypress and let them know. :smile:
Thank you Karl and all what I have been learning!!!! :smile: ZZ Top – I thank you (Live 1980)
You are a good student my friend LeoNard.
I have learned a lot from you too. :smile:
PedanticKarl,
When people asked, I used to tell them how sick I was. The more I talked about being sick, the worse I got. Finally, I started saying, I’m getting better. It took a while, but then I started to feel better, too.
Think about that, when people start trolling, thats what I want to say to them :smile: :smile:
Hmm.. I don’t know where I would open that ticket. Let me look around.
Marina, thank yiu fir all of your replies.
You have been megga busy.
I’ll add more info when I get home tonight.
Regarding the gravatar upper loer case
issue, I would suspect the ticket would
go to Buddypress support since there
was no upper loer case issue prior to
implementing BP.
Regarding the Replies performance issue,
I started to reverse engineer the JS to
document the diff between a comment
and a reply. It’ll take me a few days
but I’ll keep working on it.
- from iPhone somewhere over the rainbow
Marina, you’ve been busy tweaking a lot of things and it all looks good.
I see the additional sub-menus in All Words and other links.
Glad to see the chronological videos list again.
The My Book page looks good as well as the BIO page and the others.
I see the member names in the comments have been placed in a container and it is all looking great.
We just had a full moon yesterday and it looked awesome coming up on the horizon last night. Oh, well, and I thought I was gonna get some sleep. Not happening tonight.
Why is it I don’t get a drop down menu for “My Account” when in forums?
Mike, there are two Forums. (s in this case meaning plural)
1. The old forum
- The old forum was called “Forums”. (with an s)
- It is now called, “Forum” (no s)
- That forum uses BBCode for marking up text.
2. The new forum
Look at the top menu Groups and hover your cursor over it.
There is a sub-link that says “Group Forums”.
- The new forum is called “Group Forums” (with an s)
- That forum uses normal HTML code to mark up text.
To answer your question. (regarding the old forum)
When you are in the old FORUM (no s), there is no “MY ACCOUNT” drop down, nor NOTIFICATIONS link because the “skins” or container page is different from the main site. The old forum was/is located on a different part of the site and Marina was/is integrating the forum container pages and may not be done yet, or may still have some tweaks to do.
So, the new Group Forums page is integrated where all the top menus are the same throughout the site. The old Forum container page has been upgraded, but the menus have not been duplicated to match the rest of the site.
Marina may or may not be aware of it,
but she will be now when she reads this comment. :smile:
Ooooh, I get it now. :smile: Thanks Karl! :mrgreen:
Maybe you could answer another Q I have?
Ok, today I got a reply from mythman to a COMMENT I made on the Ouch vid, but my email said I got a reply to an UPDATE, not a comment. Is that because he commented on my channel page and not on the Ouch page? ..
AND, his reply does not appear in the Ouch comments, only on my channel under recent activity.
I can understand a reply to an UPDATE staying on my channel, but a reply to a COMMENT thats origin was from a comment on a particular video?
Correct Mike, he responded to your Activity page
comment.
Marina, just an FYI
The “My Book” link above has no comments.
There used to be two different links of comments.
Target.com carries the book.
Enter the word orlova in Target’s search box and the book comes up.
{word request}
Marina, just an FYI as I’m sure you are aware of this. On the BIO page near the book are three bullets.
One of the bullets would normally say:
• has received 302,676,319 views
Right now it says:
• has received Getting stats… on YouTube,
I think that static counter was broken a few days before the site updates.
Just an FYI.
The Total Upload views counter on your YouTube channel is disabled on the weekend and resumes updates normally on Mondays, but sometimes on Tuesdays. Last week, YT had that counter disabled most of the time.
I forgot about that! I emailed the guy who made the counter to see if he can figure out what I did wrong!
Thanks!
I see the counter is working again on the BIO page.
Looks great.
I noticed that YouTube was updating the channel views counter again Sunday afternoon. Hopefully they fixed whatever they were working on.
I noticed that when I made 3 word requests on the W lesson I can see what I wrote in the recent comment box and on the lesson, but on my recent activity page the post is blank. Why?
PD, that is because the square brackets are being interpreted, my guess is similar to BBCode.
Example:
Req 1: Word request -w brackets: [word] <– missing
Re1 2: Word request using curly braces: {word}
Go to my Activity channel and you will see a blank after the first request. I mentioned it to Marina last week.
I just changed the instructions to say { } instead of square brackets.. that seems to solve the problem for now.
links on the member pages are messed up. comment number appears twice at the end of the url so it won’t take me to the actual comment.
If I may elaborate. What aLx is saying is the following:
1. Go to a member’s Activity Channel.
(e.g. http://www.hotforwords.com/members/alx/ )
2. In the Activity channel, look for a posting from a blog.
That posting will have the following characteristics
going left to right:
a. An avatar which has a link of that member’s activity page.
b. Next is the member’s name with the same link
c. Then, is a statement: “commented on the blog post”
d. Then, there is a link name of the blog page (e.g. Site Revisions)
That link is what aLx is referring to.
Hover over that link and look for the double comment in the
status bar.
e. Next is a time element. (e.g. 57 minutes ago)
f. Next is a VIEW link which does correctly go to the user’s comment.
My Thoughts:
My thought is that the PAGE LINK in a posting’s heading should go to the blog page instead of the member’s comment since the VIEW LINK is the link which already correctly goes to the member’s comment.
So, instead of correcting the double comment number as aLx described to make the link go to a comment, the comment numbers should be removed so that the Page Link can go to the blog page.
Interestingly, the double comment number fails to go to the comment, but does go to the blog page as indicated by the name of the link, for example, “Site Revisions”. So, one could say that, despite the error, the page link does produce the correct results.
Marina, just some thoughts:
Cosmetic cleanup #1
Go to the Home page, then scroll down to the last item of the blog which is a set of page numbers. Then click on page #10, scroll down to the bottom and the additional page data is scrunched on top of itself. It may require more space either in the vertical or horizontal.
Cosmetic cleanup #2
Look at the navigation menus at the top below the HotForWords logo.
The menu starts with Home, Videos, etc.
At the far right is an image of a GoDaddy Ad.
Thinking out loud, my thoughts are these; is the GoDaddy image pushing the YouTube link to the second line, or is the YouTube link intentionally placed on the second line. If the intentions is to have no more navigation links, maybe the YouTube link can go back up to the same line as the others, and place the Ads on the second line. In that way, you could have multiple Ads on that line; maybe two, three or four Ads could be placed on that second line below the navigation links.
Every time I post a comment, change lessons, pages, etc., it takes some time to load. Haven’t experienced this before. I’m on a laptop, not a super-bad-ass gaming system or anything. Will this change, or do I just deal?
Really love what you’ve done, Marina. Love you, too, Lady.
I hope that is just a temporary problem exacerbated by my constant updates to the site.. I’m testing this post right now.. and it seems to post almost immediately.. so hopefully that problem has now passed!
Thanks, Dear One. You’re truly the best.

@Marina, I’m really liking the new site and it is working for me.
I like the single entry under “Latest Video”, which is a great way
for people to get to the latest video, instead of having to chose from a list of many. So, I think that is a good thing. I like the “Recently Active Members” avatars section and “Recent Comments” section.
Internal versus External Links
Could you put this on your “To Do” list. No rush in getting it done.
In the past, when someone adds a link to their comment, the link behavior was as follows:
External links: (e.g. a YouTube video)
Would open a new browser page.
Internal links: (e.g. a page on this site)
Would open the page in the current browser page.
In the past the HTML code for an external link looked like this. The target=”_blank” is the key attribute.
<a href=”http-external-link” rel=”nofollow” class=”extlink shutter” target=”_blank”>
I just noticed that when I click on “LATEST VIDEO” it doesn’t take me there.
Fixed it. Thanks for noticing! :shock:
Cool. I have a new and improved site to come back to. :grin:
Regarding uploading photos in the social networking pages. When I type this ” I’ll, jack’s, her’s ” I get this ” I///’ll, jack///’s, her///’s”
Oh.. bummer.
Also comments for pictures are now disabled.
Second, links from emails only go to the home page and not to the comment.
iluv2cutfarts replied to one of your updates:
“This shot reminds me of Gilligan’s Island for some reason.
:D”
To view your original update and all comments, log in and visit: http://www.hotforwords.com/activity/p/1194/
That is because he deleted his comment.. if the comment no longer exists it has nowhere to go but the homepage.
Actually – I didn’t delete any comments.
:???:
I like your avatar because it reminds me of a successful fight against a powerful stereotype.
You were winning too, but now you have resorted to A.I. for blonds… which is dyeing your hair differently! :D
That is because some characters are not properly escaped.
Then hit the “ESC” button on the top of the keyboard!
LOL!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Aren’t coders such smart asses? :mrgreen:
Actually, it looks like that specific characters are properly escaped, but several times which is an issue when using a certain setting of PHP “magic- quotes”, but could also be a result of other types of logic that tries to handle escaping of certain characters prior to going to the database.
Testing out square brackets in a comment post.
This is a [test]. The word <— test has brackets
surrounding it.
The word “test” in square brackets in my comment above is not displayed in my channel.
Click on my name to see the comment in my channel.
It looks like the backend doesn’t like certain characters. I’m also noticing that there are two distinct messaging environments. Comments on Posts and Comments in the backend. Comments on Posts are replicated in the backend and you can reply to those comments in the Backend… but the backend replies don’t make it back to the post.
I guess that makes sense as you don’t necessarily want all your comments in the backend to show on the front.. I guess?
Yes, I like the way you phrased that,
and those are my thoughts as well.
It sounds like a and infinite loop is starting to form. Would it be best to create a new database? I know that would be a pain, but with this new code it could cause problems with your existing comment posts. Just make sure the backups are still being done.
I’m liking your avatar, PK! :-)
Thanks Chemikal :-)
:oops: Posted to my profile links to many of my Russian photos on my web site and a Facebook album Happy Trails
I am posting this here because I note that when I post just on my profile activity it does not come up in the comments section hence only someone reading my profile would see it and since I hope people would want to see many photos of Russia I am reposting it here.
HFW campus is looking good Marina, looking good :cool:
Nice Tan :razz: w/ horns in air to boot :smile: \m/
I like the new changes at the top next to the
Notification link. Now there is a Groups and
the Forum link is there. Everything is coming
along very nicely.
MARINA!!!! PLEASE TELL ME THE TATTOO IS A JOKE!!!
:cry:
:sad:
:cry:
The Tat is real. In fact, there are more. Hehe. Stay tuned. :razz:
It’s from an upcoming Magazine shoot I did.. don’t worry. But shhhhhh don’t anyone!
HeHe, I won’t tell anyone. Love to tease these boys. Hehe LOL
Marina! :cry:
I thought you were tattooless. I still love you and all, but you are way too beautiful for tattoos.
:cry:
I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now. Boohoo! My most dearest hotforwords Hottie Girl has tats!
:cry:
There, there, I will make it all betta for you.
Psssst, stay tuned. Your dreams WILL come twue.
Really, it’s twue.
And, that’ll teach you for not following Marina on twitter. If you had, you’d be in the know with what’s up. Hey, do you like how I practice my namesake. LOL
Oh alright…I’ll set up an account, and follow yours and Captain Jack Daniels lead on what other apps/sites to use. Just let me get some coffee in me first to get the courage up to venture back out there.
:mrgreen:
Here is a nice picture:
Huh? A blank comment?
It’s a picture of you and Gorby by an Airplane. Gorby is standing on the wing.
Correct.
During my early edit, I had different code that presented a blank comment as the code did not resolve. I had to re-edit my comment to what is shown now.
Is there a way to have more than one picture album or do all pics just go in “ALBUM”?
Here is a @pagedoll mention as requested
by PD below.
It didn’t give me notify but it showed up on my mentions page right away. If I get a notify for it later I’ll let you know.
Mike, I sent you another mention, but this time from my Activity Channel. According to the Notification rules, that should give you a notification. I think mention in my post above would not give you a notification.
I got a email telling me I had a mention just a few minutes ago.
By the way, Where’s that instruction booklet at? The Notification rules. Thanks
PD, the Notification rules can be found as follows:
1. Go to your channel by clicking on your name.
2. Click on the SETTINGS link
3. Click the NOTIFICATIONS link (next line)
You will now see a matrix of EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS.
By default, every type of notification is set to YES.
Select YES or NO for the types of notifications that you are interested or not interested in .
I had another plugin still installed from my older version called Comment Reply Notification and it may have been conflicting with BuddyPress that does the exact same thing. BuddyPress is SO BAD ASS in everything it does.. still working on getting the old Forums integrated.
Great.
Check out my last post on this Topic.
Everybody was struggling with trying to get an image posted. I got the Guru watching that Forum now. LOL
Speaking of notifications, I have one that doesn’t clear after I confirm it, and that’s new friends. It still stays lit up at the top (either after I accept or have been confirmed by someone).
Just wanted to FYI you on it.
There are several scenarios at play and I don’t know them all.
My first guess is that you may not have confirmed as you thought.
Another scenario is that you may not have clicked on the actual notification at the top but, the Alert itself. In other words, it’s a two line notification. the first line is the Alert, the second line is the type of alert. Click on the second line of the Notification, then confirm and the notification will go away. I had many many alerts and they are all gone.
OK.. I created a group called help.. you can create groups as well…. but I though that group might be good for explaining things?
Yes, thanks. That is great.
I created a Forum Topic by the same name associted with that Group so people can post screen shots and request help and have technical discussions.
does it worry you that ur almost gonna be 30 years old? I wish i could stay 14 forever.
marina, getting reply delays. particular to your reply to my comment to james. i got email notification first, then eventually i could read it in my profile, it has yet to show up under the main video page under comments. just noticed your reply never showed up in the recent comments box. must be a hierarchy to when and where comments/replies are updated.
I had a plugin left over from the other version of WordPress that I was running called “Comment Reply Notification”.. and it may have been conflicting with BuddyPress that automatically notifies you of comment replies. Tell me if you get an email about this reply.
Thanks!
Can I give myself a @pagedoll mention?
I worked, and I like how its a link to my profile. :grin:
Boy, that @Marina thinks she’s sooooo cool. ;-) :razz: :mrgreen:
Do I get a notification when I get a mention?
Someone give me a mention and I’ll wait for a noti.
I got your notification! :-) Thanks for mentioning me :-)
Marina, Are you still going to put that cool youtube view counter on the home page?
Really like the way things are looking so far… When the Lady cleans house, she really cleans some house…
Holy Smokes! I thought this latest twitpic of Marina was an African American or Latin lady!
:| :oops:
Jeeminy! So many little things to do to revise this site.
Sort of all the things I need to do to create my [anthology] (now at printer.) :grin:
All the little things I should be doing instead of posting wisecracks here! :sad:
inboxlexia :?:
Hey, I think there’s a bug in the BuddyPress thingy. I just got a friend invite from somebody who previously called me a “quiff old man.” Some sort of crossed connection / wrong number? :???: ( :lol: )
Also, I’m seeing civil discussions between former flame-war combatants. Must be some sort of revision in the software that generates all these “students” and their comments. :razz:
Oh Evan – even trolls and fart blasters know when to get serious and be civil.

Marina, Back away from the Venti Carmel Macchiato!
When the screen gets blurry, its time to shut it down. :tired:
Yeah, I’m with PageDoll on this one. It’s just now 1am in the Midwest. Time for sleepy sleep.
See you all later on today.
What browsers is everyone using? I have a Windows based PC, but have only looked at the site with IE7. I have both Mozilla FireFox and Google Chrome, but haven’t tried them out here yet.
What is everyone using?
FireFox end of story.
P.S. I didn’t need to flush my cache to see my avatar. Perhaps because I uploaded it out here – don’t know. I also had recently flushed my cache out before coming out here.
Oh, OK, great.
Anyone using IE8 or Opera?
Google Chrome is pretty fast. Faster than IE for sure.
Yes, Chrome is fast and if it works for you, then by all means use it. I’m not into the speed thingy, so, I am fine with FireFox as I am more concerned with consistency in the kind of work that I do.
IE is just a Double-Click of habit. FireFox and Chrome are definite Double-Clicks of choice. I wish more corporate tier III apps were friendlier with other browsers.
:cry:
Ahhh, nice “recent comments” are back!
Nice to have avatars back too. I like seeing the recent user listing as well.
I do too. The Collage is a good edition
Night night from the east coast. See you tomorrow. :smile:
Nighty night! Sleep tight! :-)
Hi:… [common cold]… :smile: Extra sleep(rest) helps fight the early signs of a cold or cough or sore throat…hope you are fighting your signs of “scratchy throat”…Lady GaGa Live NYC 2006[fever]…learning to dance :smile:
Nos da, Marina! (Ñпокойной ночи!) :grin:
Night bro!!!! ;-)
When I’m in ACTIVITY>FRIENDS and I see a comment I want to follow-up on and i click the link in the comment box to the lesson/video, it takes me to the top of the page of that lesson. Is it possible to have the link take me to the comment instead?
Would it be awesome if what I wrote in the “Whats new Pagdoll?” box went out as a tweet from this website? :idea: ..or not? :o Having the option to do so would be even better. :cool:
That would be cool! Now, just give me another 6 sleepless nights and I’ll have that working! :-)
Or why not when you log on facebook, when you do the same thing, you can also share with HotForWords!
Marina your up to 12 sleepless nights now :grin:
Chase, I’ll explain about the names in a minute.
Look over at the Recent comments. Your name is PaparazziKid, but here it is Gunju221.
I’ll explain in a few minutes.
Hey gunju kid, I stole your name: :razz:
Sort of. :mrgreen: :lol:
Marina, I see the social networking here very analogous to Twitter which is great.
Once you are completed with all the tweaks, I could make several short video tutorials, maybe 1-2 minutes in length covering different aspects of the site.
Cool, that would be cool! I’m still trying to figure out all the stuff!
i think us intelligent in technology people can figure it out on our own… it’s 2010.
Not 1850 :smile:
Excluding yourself, right kid?
:razz:
You’re funny, but I don’t think you’re joking for some strange reason :shock:
no im just razzing o PedanticKarl :mrgreen:
He’s only 13…His testicles haven’t even dropped yet.
:mrgreen:
tell me your not starting this again :o
HA! Kid! We might be friends and all that sweet stuff these days, but don’t go thinkin’ that we’re gonna be taking long showers together, or playing pen-pals every chance we get.
I’m an equal opportunity pisser offer! The bullseye is getting smaller and smaller on your back though. You’re still gonna get razzed by me from time to time. Just man up and give it back, but do it tastefully or I will have Mom start making me sandwiches again!
:lol:
Ok, The reply i to you(Marina)
“You’re funny, but I don’t think you’re joking for some strange reason” some how ended way down here AND gunju221 thought I was replying to him, I think.. because he replied to me..
Wait.
I’m confused. :|
Dude, Im not saying that, all I don’t want is the huge 65 comment fights :evil:
Dude – worry not. I have gotten putting you in a box down to at least 30 comments now-a-days.
;)
Marina, no rush on this, but what about the dual names.
In the WP profile it was called
username: (in granite: example: gunju221)
display name: (changeabe: example: Paprazzikid)
That system is of course still the same with the addition of the AT name which is the username. One cannot AT mention someone by their display name, but only the username. It’s easy to discover one’s username / AT name by clicking on their name and visiting their profile.
Notice that the Recent Comment box shows the Display name (PaparazziKid), but here in the comments it is the username (gunju221)
Do you have any thoughts about that? I think the dual names are fine, but may confuse some people until that is explained to them.
CRAP.. MINE IS GUNJU221. How do I CHANGE TO PAPARAZZIKID?
Yeah right. Just seen you drive to Malibu. :mrgreen:
Get sleepy sleep. All work and no play will make it harder to not make mistakes. The site is honestly fine (from a user perspective). You’ve done a really good job, Marina (you and your crew).
Thank you and the the greatest thanks goes to Marina, the bestest of the best.
Way cool.
I changed my display name and it changes everywhere just like the gravatar. That is cool.
Look at my name. Gonna make that kid jealous. :lol:
Haha, I did too! :smile:
Oh yeah, congrats on the 300 million view thingee
( Who got to take that picture of you up above…? )
[ best Eric Idle imitation ]
Wink wink nod nod say-no-more :cool:
Eureka! I’m… back!
(for a little while ) :mrgreen:
The trick is to click the “Crop Avatar” button AFTER you crop it.
Yeah! :lol:
Long names underlap date information.
Welcome back! What’s new with you? :mrgreen:
Same old same old… :roll:
Well my life it quite different. I moved 1,000 miles south, surrounded by palm trees, smog and crazy people. :roll: I don’t see how anyone can call Los Angeles county paradise. The city stinks.
You bought the story? Southern CA is now more full of people who were not born there, than actual natives.
I left 10 years ago. Except for the times that I miss family and some friends – I don’t miss it much at all (except for Del Taco, In-N-Out Burger, and a few other restaurants as well).
:mrgreen:
I here Burbank is still pretty nice, but that Hollywood bites to live there. Are you in the basin or up in the hills?
On the beach of course! The air is a bit fresher! http://twitpic.com/1ep83p
Hi ChaCha, how have you been?
Long time no see.
What have you been up to?
I’ve had to travel for work; working this out on a laptop. I;m back in La-di-da-derdale for a couple weeks then off to ol’ Miss for a couple monthes of “fun”. Have I missed much? :mrgreen:
ChaCha, you have missed a ton.
Marina released her book
http://www.hotforwords.com/my-book/
and went on book signings in NYC and LA.
Marina appeared in many magazines including Penthouse. No it’s not what you think. It’s many pages covering her book. Click on the Press link above to see the various media that Marina has appeared in. Also, under Press there is a sub-link called Interviews and you can watch many of the great interviews.
Marina also released a game for the iPhone which is a blast to play and she had a contest to win a date with her. It’s been a fun wild ride.
My notifications says I have a friend pending, but I can’t find it when I click on the notification. Help
Try MESSAGE>INBOX
I did and it shows nothing. I received a friend request from leonard , but can’t find it to reply.
go to @capman911 mentions or leonards friend page and track it down that way. I had the same prob earlier today for RC.
I found him and added him on. Thanks Mike. :smile:
Another thing I noticed is Notifications will say you a have a friends request or a message, but when you(I) look its for a message I’ve already read.
.. also noticed the notifications like to hold on to a message or a friends request well after its been read or confirmed, but not all the time.
UPLOADING AVATARS WORKS NOW! ( tried that – no joy )
No ma’am, it can’t seem to sync to my Gravatar…
It does work in the forums, that I’ve seen – but not here!
It works now.. try it again.. I just fixed it!
Hm’kay – it uploads and crops OK
but it doesn’t save it – still no joy
Did you clear your cache after you changed your Gravatar?
I guess I should change my screen name to “Me Lika Do The Cha”
so the last “Cha” doesn’t run over the date/timestamp, huh? :idea:
Close up your letters like you used too. MeLikaDoTheChaCha
Nah – not gonna do it (heh heh) :mrgreen:
“..wouldn’t be prudent at this juncture”
Can I change it to: MeLikaDoTheChaCha ? It’s really messing things up and I’m not going to be able to sleep now!! :x
OK.. I made everyone’s name smaller so that Me Lika Do The Cha Cha can fit.. now I can go to sleep :-)
What is smaller? :cool:
No no you can not sleep until you ask me for permission! :twisted: Now go back to work slave! ;-)
You’ll probably consider this a naive question, but I’m asking anyway. What’s the real purpose of the “friend” business? I’d like to be friends with everyone who comes here. Just curious. I don’t consider it a negative or anything.
Thanks. I’m loving the new classroom.
I think it allows you to do a cursory glance at what your “friends” are up to, ie: what they commented and where (through the Activity area) and allows you to go right to those comments and participate, etc.
There are things called Groups with a type of Forum attached.. but I am still figuring out those components.
Looks good so far. Now if my fartin’ avatar would just show up, I’d be less grumpy!
:twisted:
Upload an avatar in your profile area.. the cropping doesn’t work yet, but the avatar upload does!
AH! Back to my ol’ stinky self again!
Thanks Marina!
:mrgreen:
This is looking just great! Will be wonderful when you get it dialed in.
Dear Teacher, site designed now for Apple mobile things? :???:
very slim, small text size, I can go blind :cry:
Never mind :mrgreen:
I’m already blinded by beauty of Dear Teacher
but it can be worse :roll:
Hi deluxenn,
I visit this HotForWords site throughout most of the day using my iPhone. This site rocks on the iPhone. It works very nicely and I am able to do just about everything that I am able to do at home.
I try to tell that the site more fit to iPhone or other cell phones but not for normal screens with size 17″ and bigger
don’t pay attention on it, most dotcom sites designed like this
small text size, does not fill a screen at width but have a lot of scrolling down (WAP design)
Look at Wikipedia for example of a good WEB design
I don’t criticize, it’s just my opinion :smile:
my request…[VISION]…like a native message and the sickness of LOVE/Mental ——-answers the docters is mother over daddy….L-ibido: 1. Sexual drive. 2. In psychoanalysis, the psychic energy from all instinctive biological drives.
Libido in Latin means “desire, longing, fancy, lust, or rut.” Although the adjective libidinous, meaning lustful, has been used in English for 500 or so years, libido only entered the language in 1913, thanks to Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalysts who applied the term to psychic energy or drive, and especially to the sexual instinct.
—in G O D we trust :smile: the d.evils heat is not HOT like hotforwords :twisted: love me like a rock, stoned like a peach seed…
:P
I MISS SEEING THE LATEST COMMENTORS AND THEIR COMMENTS. please change this. Thanks mermaid.
I MEANT TO SAY COMMENTERS. I Miss the EDITING option for when i made typos like those. Mermaid needs to change this shiznet.
I guess the profile section will develop as time goes buy? so far it is just a name? was hoping to link to my web page? maybe a line about who I am?I attempted to upload an avatar but all I got was a red X only other place this happens to me is on photofile.ru wondering what and or whose settings are causing this? Other than tahat looks great wish I were that ambitious :cool:
Hi dsfoto, good comments.
Regarding the ambitious part, I think no one is ever ambitious without having some passion about something which I think is preceded by a vision or an idea. Once a vision or idea is made manifest, the ambitious part happen almost automatically.
Hard to get ambitious when you are spread all over the map. My 8,000 Russian photo archive that needs something to do, A desertation that needs to be finished, the Postcard collection I want/need to publish, working on the house, running to doctors, running out of rheumatism and Asthma medicines because of pharmacy snafu’s… to the point that I can hardly function…. So much for Ambition
I hear you dsfoto. Sometimes, life just gets in the way of our visions and there goes that ambition. But, don’t give up hope on your vision and dreams. Sometimes one has to make different choices than the one’s one has been making and sometimes those choices and changes can be drastic.
Did I neglect to mention my website that needs some serious technical razzle dazzle which I have no idea how to do. made a small change the FTP deleted a whole page and ot’s photos took 3 hours to fix arrgh!
http://tour-russia.com
Wow, I see what you mean. I remember your site had a nice image header. Websites can be easy to assemble these days, but when there is a glitch and one has to make some technical edits, then it can get out of hand very quickly unless one has the technical background.
Gee this getting hard to figure out. :???: It still looks nice and clean. Still trying to figure out my new account thingy. Hmmmm
In MY ACCOUNT>FRIENDS If the message is too long it runs into the “cancel friendship button” and I can’t click the “view” button.
Just letting you know. :cool:
:cool: I like the new site! Thank you Marina & Karl for accepting my friendship requests :!: :grin:
I haven’t done this in a long time. :arrow: Comment #100 :!:
Thank you both, Karl & LeoNard :lol: friend request happilly

Yes – I second the friendship! And as for the trolls – well, we were starved into good behavior. We love it here.

GOOD JOB
Testing gravatar by changing my email here to a non-existing adr.
Edit1:
It works immediately. As soon as I change the email to a fake one,
the gravatar becomes a monster.
Edit2:
Within the 5 min edit window, I was able to change back to the
correct gravatar by using my correct email.
Testing an AT mention.
Here I am mentioning @pedantickarl and see if it shows up in the mentions.
Way kewl. Just as I expected. mentioning someone using the AT sign will be
placed in their Mentions list.
So, if I were to mention @marina like this, then this comment would appear in her Mentions list. I see @marina is fooling around with posts sssd and test. LOL
So – I have to go out to Gravatar and give it a bogus email addy?
No, not bogus email at Gravatar.
Bogus adr here for a moment, then back to your normal email. Try that first.
Go to your account settings above and change your email to a fake one. You can do that by just adding a number to your email for example. Then, SAVE your settings. Then, change back to your correct email and SAVE again. That should tell the system here which is your correct email. Wait a few minutes and you should see the gravatar update. If not, then the gravatar may be stuck in the local server cache.
Do I need to clear my browser cache again after doing this switch? Or just wait? Thanks in advance!
The clearing of YOUR browser cache is ONLY done in order for YOU to see the change. It has nothing to do whether I see the change. I will let you know when the change happens. Then, if you do not see what I see, it is at that point you clear your browser cache.
OK – I see what you were getting at, but it still is just bringing back my old default from the first time I signed up. So I guess this means that the Gravatar image I have at the Gravatar site has not sync’d?
Yes, correct.
VenomRock is having the same issue. It is possible that your gravatar is not updating due to the server cache not having been cleared or been updated, presuming that Marina is using caching for the gravatars. She may have some tweaks to do in that area. So, just hang lose until later in the day when Marina has had a chance to look at it.
Coolio. OK – time for sleepy sleep. See you tomorrow (or later today, actually).
G’NIGHT!
G’night, don’t let the Hot Words byte. LOL
My fartin’ avatar is still the dorkie bunny-eared heart fart!
:x
Yup, still see your dorkie bunny-eared heart fart!
Take a look at Marina’s notes at the top regarding BuddyPress. There are some tweaks that Marina may need to do, so give her some time to figure it out.
I looked at your gravatar link, and I see that it is your correct ID. I changed some of the code for your pic to show up. Check this out.
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/565e621a4bad34ce7a7aca60b833dfa3?d=monsterid&r=x
Hey! There’s my butt gassssssser!
:mrgreen:
Now if I could only get it to show up here.
:cry:
There are gravatar’s missing from many people.
There may be a bug in the new plugin where Marina may need to put a work around on. So, Hang tight, Marina is doing lots of stuff and she’ll get to the gravatars.
Oh yes, I know. Sorry if I came off impatient. It’s just part of my stinky online personality.
:mrgreen:
Ok, I admit it. I don’t really like this theme. Sorry Guys, Can’t be nicey nicey anymore. :twisted: I liked the other SO MUCH better. It actually looked like a virtual classroom, and very professional looking. The Comments were much better too. Sorry Marina, being Honest. :cry:
Give Me your best shots people
Chartreuse (pronounced: [ʃaʀtʀøz]) is a French liqueur made by the Carthusian Monks, popular since the 1740s. It is composed of distilled alcohol aged with 130 herbal extracts. The liqueur is named after the Grande Chartreuse monastery where it was formerly produced, located in the Chartreuse Mountains. Today, the liqueur is produced in a factory in the nearby town of Voiron (Isère) under the supervision of monks from the monastery.
a shot of [PROGGRESS] :-) http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/11/maxim-radio-10th-show/
It’s a pretty decent layout, but I do miss being able to see who posted recently, and the forums.
All of those features are there already. they just have to be tuned. For example, you can see a bunch of stuff in your profile. Click on your name and it will take you to your Account which allows you to see stuff.
You can click on the Comments tab in the upper right and see the last few commenters. I’m sure those features will be further augmented as time goes on. I’m sure there is a lot more to tweak.
I agree SWEETI. I have to say I to liked the other theme MUCH BETTER :smile:
What I’m seeing looks professional & sleek. It may take awhile to adjust to the changes. Just my own personal recollection from the last time this site went through a revision.
fuck this new design…its gray and boring, unintelligent. i’m outtie.
ja like other better?
OK, cool Marina, the Gravatar and my 2nd email sync nicely.
All is well on that front.
I am able to change gravatars and it all works great.
I’m going to test with my 1st email again to see what happens.
I just changed my Settings above to my 1st email adr.
The Forum has already picked up my new gravatar there, but not here yet. I’ll give it a few more minutes.
Yeah!!!!! It works Marina!!!!
It works with both my 1st and 2nd email address.
That is another one of my gravatars from 2 years ago,
celebrating 4th of July and Marina 4 President. :-)
Marina, I think what happened is that early on, when you enabled the buddypress, the WP profile was still available via the Dashboard in the upper right. Now, the buddypress Setting in the upper Left are working great.
k, so how do I get my gravatar to work here. I checked forums and it’s working there. The e-mail is correct on my settings and the gravatar.com site and I cleared cache. was just wondering.
Hi VR,
In the upper left, click on
My Account, then Settings, then General.
You’ll see an Account Email text box.
Verify that the email adr is the same as on the gravatar site, which I’m sure it is.
Click Save Changes anyway to force the email address to be accepted. If that doesn’t work, let me know.
Yeah, I just did that now and I don’t see a change
Just give it another 10 minutes. If the gravatar does not show up, then do the following.
In the above Account Settings, change your email address to another email or if you don’t have one, use a fake email address for one minute, then change back to your regular email. The reason is that when you click the Save Changes, it may not re-save if a change was not made. By making a change, the Save should work. This is all new to me, so hang in there.
VR, I see the gravatar changed, to a different monster which is telling me that you are having an effect. I think it will work once the emails are matched here and on the gravatar site.
Well I did that change and tried some other images I have stored on the gravatar site. I did see the change with the monsters but none of the ones I chose from my gravatar account appeared on here. But on the forums nothing has been affected there. I know M is still working on the site.
VR, the Forum’s settings are controlled by WordPress Profile settings, while the new site pages settings are controlled by a new plugin. At this time of night, the changes to the gravatar settings should be within minutes.
Go back to the gravatar site and click on the image you want and re-Confirm by clicking on that image and take note of the email address. Come back here and ensure that the email adr is spelled correctly. I make spelling mistakes to my email adr all of the time.
made sure the spelling of my email addr is correct on here and I still don’t see the correct change. So I did both your edit suggestions, cleared cache. Oh well, I tried
VR, from the looks of things, you may be doing everything correctly. The only other thing I can figure out is that your purple monster gravatar is stuck in this server’s cache? Just a guess. That means it may take a while for the server cache to clear or update. It has nothing to do with your browser cache which is cleared only for you to see the new changes and since I am not seeing them, there is not much more you can do until later. We’ll try again tomorrow.
yeah, I’m sure it will work out.Thanks :smile:
OK, VR, thanks for trying everything.
I’ll catch you later. :smile:
Hi VR,
Just letting you know that I did some testing on your gravatar. It seems all is OK on your side. Marina is still doing many tweaks. Here is your gravatar link which is the same one as the monster except I changed some code to make your picture appear.
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/db1fbdcf6ac548b847a80ba5df33cc3f?d=monsterid&r=x
Hey Karl,
Thanks for the link, that’s pretty cool :smile:
Gee, I hope I can get my avatar back here on the main site :|
I know, patience….but I gladly accept your friend request :cool:
hmm…need a little practice navigating around here, but it looks like it’s all starting to come together ;-) Marina’s probably workin’
O.T. :smile:
“The Good Die Young” LIVE bei Wetten, dass..?
Hi VR,
The image to your gravatar is there, it is the new plugin that needs to do the same thing I did manually. Just hang in there as Marina is working all kinds of magic to get it corrected. There were a ton of changes made to the site from this morning, so you know that Marina is working hard at it. Just hang in there as it may take a day or so to iron out the bugs and getting to understand all the new widgets. It’s exciting to see all of the changes.
just noticed that when I click on a “recent comment” and it takes me to that comment the first line in the comment is always in the gray bar at the top of the page..just saying.
I also noticed that I now have a message in box which is very cool. :grin:
Unfortunately, I have no messages. :sad:
HHHHow will I know if I have a message? :|
You know, ’cause if I ever get one I don’t want to miss it. ;-)
Check the notifications at the very top Left where it says Notifications.
You should have 1 notification now. :-)
This whole site change is confusing, exciting, and fun all at the same time.
The Friends, messaging, and the @ looks like it will be fun to explore as well.
I have one friend so far and I want to be Mr. Friendly Guy, so hit me up!
Wow! I see a lot of new social networking features.
My gravatar disappeared, but don’t worry about it.
Not a biggie. Take your time, I know you are busy tweaking.
I tested the uploading of an avatar via the profile page after the disappearance.
Lots of neat stuff.
Mine Didn’t Disappear?
Well I sent you a new Friend Request :grin:
Cool. I’ll let you know once I get it.
I got your private message and sent you one back.
You can see the notifications at the very top left.
I want a private message!!! :x
Did ja get mine? ;-) ;-) ;-)
test :lol:
I see see your new “EYE”… ;-) …over at the forum…
Hmm… I may need to play around with that buddypress before I lose everyone’s gravatars!
The “login” and “logout button and then the bar at the top that has the same thing don’t match
Yeah.. why did you lose your gravatar?
Not sure why the gravatar disappeared. It disappeared on it’s own.
Then, I noticed the social networking features of sending messages and being able to upload an avatar from the profile page. Not the WP profile page, but the one you access via the link at the upper left or clicking on my gravatar.
It uses your gravatar if your email address is associated with it. Hmmm…
Yes, It was working about 30 minutes ago and disappeared on it’s own. At that time I hadn’t discovered the social networking stuff yet.
I checked my WP profile and the email is correct.
***MARINA*** I must ask you, was the choice of this layout influenced by my and PKarl’s decisions, or your choice???
Marina, I went to the Gravatar site and changed my gravatar. It does work over in the Forum. Check one of the topics with my name and you’ll see it is a different gravatar of you peeking through the keyhole. Remember those days two years ago?
So, the gravatar is synchronized with the Forum.
I’ll check my buddypress profile again and see if I can make a change there.
Ahh, I see the gravatar is back.
I changed my email address.
I’ll do some testing and I’ll let you know what I find. :-)
Will pick a random lesson be back?…pictures at the forum! :oops:
You eatededed my avatar!
:cry:
Yeah!!!! My favorite widget is back!!!
Yes!!!
There is a Goddess. Thank you Marina. :lol:
It’s gone, but it should be baaaaack. LOL
Oooooh, it’s back. I don’t know what I do without that, :grin:
Hey Marinka, errr, I mean Marina. I can’t help but call you Marinka (with proper pronunciation) after seeing that H4W video “In Santa Monica” on the swing. You’re some swinger. :lol:
I see many of the changes you are making and it looks great. One of the things I like is the page numbers at the bottom of the Home page where one can go to a specific archive page.
I think the pages load faster also and noticed that on my iPhone. I just tested it with the largest number of comments per page which is the “Funny video about Twitter” page with 1,334 comments on one page.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/03/24/funny-video-about-twitter/
I know it is a lot of work, and it is coming along nicely.
YES YES YES :!: :!:
I LOVE U :lol:
:cool: B.B. GRRRRREEAAAAATTT
Just an FYI regarding the various views counters for those that are interested in that kind of stuff.
Remember, all publicly reported counts will be delayed from an hour to four hours to one day if a counter is updated daily.
The Total Upload views counter on the http://youtube.com/hotforwords channel reads 299,830,922 views right now. The reason is that YT stops updating that counter on the weekends and has done so for at least 4 months or more. Normally, that counter is updated once a day at around 6-8 AM. It should be updated tomorrow, Monday morning before 8 AM. If not, then they sometimes wait till Tuesday.
I compile my own views totals from the actual 549 videos. I don’t do it any any specific rate or time, but grab the data when I feel like it. I feel like it right now, so the total views of the 549 videos right now is 300,726,533 views
Since the individual videos are updated at least hourly (even on the weekends), then the count from the actual views that Marina sees internally can be delayed by as much as an hour or at most four hours. That’s also true of the counter that was on this Home page and the BIO page. Right now, Marina is busy with the site update, so the counters are not available. So, the worst case possible delay that my numbers show would be about 50,000 at any given time.
There are many other places where the views are displayed, but all of them have longer delays, like the Honors board for example.
It’s Tuesday morning 9:23 AM and YouTube’s Total Upload Views still have not changed on the HotForWords channel. Normally, it should have updated on Monday. But, that is not too unusual as in the recent past, about a month ago or so, that views counter was not updated for over one week several times. That is true not only for the HotForWords channel but goes for all YT channels. I monitor many YT numbers and the views and one other counter are not always updated in a regular fashion.
In the last 30 minutes, I see that YouTube is finally starting to update users views counters on their channels. The HotForWords views counter has not been updated yet, but it should happen shortly.
HOLY HARD ON BATMAN!
:shock:
Ahhhh, yes, I love that photo above.
Makes the page so much more inviting.
Testing the site on my iPhone
while going 60 mph on the 91 Fwy.
j/k I’m doing 70 mph :mrgreen:
Dayum, Marina, the site looks great
on the iPhone. Love it.
Its odd you mention Apple. I was showing one of my friends the new site today and we both agreed it looks kind of “Appleish”. With the gray tones, skinny banners, shadowed text, and everything is modern looking with its own little space.
I know the re-vamp is not done yet, but it would be pretty cool if the user could control what the default display could be in the “Recent – Comments – Popular – Tags” :?: box. Personally I’d like to see “Comments” have its own box, including info where the comment was made, like before.
Having the “Leave a comment” box on the bottom of the page seems upside down to me. I mean, why would I go all the way to the bottom of a page to make a comment thats going right back to the top of the page after I hit enter? ..So know NOW I’m going back up to the top when thats where I wanted to be all along. :???:
Wait a minute!! Wasn’t I just talking about apple and the iphone? Dang-it! :roll:
Marina,
Well at 300,000,000 you gave us the week off :?:
At 400,000,000 you should give send us a pre-holiday card.

SOULFUL—a Song for MARINA and her HOTFORWORDS– “hard work”…Roger Whittaker & Chet Atkins “The Last Farewell” :smile:
looking good and the site looks OK too.
How exiting. It looks good, definitely simpler.
You could move the Add Comment box back up top.
I second that request :roll: :idea:
although when you clik on a reply button the add comment box just
shows up :oops: lol :lol: :cool: B.B.
yeah M, the broken (bent) arrow nice
:cool: B.B.
P.S. I think we should have a picture of our dear teacher
here at least untill all is fixed
You asked.. you have received :-)
super PRETTY— :smile:
I sure have :oops: tnx teach
uhhh leoaNard I think she was talkin ta me
and she SURE is
I think the layout is great…I like the black/gray actually. The site looks super clean now. Congrats again on 300 million views!
I see the HostGator Ad to the right which is associated with the new theme and now it is GoDaddy. Very cool.
Marina, in your bullet list above, the Forums link needs the complete link with “http:” as right now it is picking up the base URL.
For anyone wanting to use the Forum, the link is:
http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/
The Forums Topic “Songs named after a girl/women. Any era” sure got a fast running start with 6 pages right now. Interesting to see how many more pages of names can be added.
The link is now fixed in the bullet list. Thanks :grin:
See if you can use use pull down buttons on your navigation bar. It will clean it up much.
Would this be a good time to upgrade the forums to a better forum plugin like “phpBB’ http://www.phpbb.com/ ????
Schweet… Just remember, hotforwords isn’t a blog though! I would say its more a random discussion website. :)
what’s wrong with gray, dammit? :/
Marina is still working the kinks, CHILL
Still number 1!
Very Good Layout
Can I still flip you off when you announce your number oneness?

How about I flip you off this time :mrgreen:
