DISQUS

I think the new comment system is pretty cool.

Now if I don't give a shit about anything going on below I can just reply to the top post and hijack the comments.

Chandler that was brilliant! Mimsey posted a reply way down below but now people are reading me as I can reroute the conversation. Did I mention I hate threaded conversations. I never post at Kos because I can never find my prior posts.

I can even leave multiple replies to posts I have made.

Beautiful, John. I love Europe.

Sugapea · 1 year ago

John, Please keep the photos coming...
It takes our minds off all the sad American news!

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

Dave, there seems to be a lot more lag time between comments. I don't know if it's because of Disqus or if it's a slow night.

Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago

Doesn't seem much of a problem to me.

Interesting. Plenty of new features. The first indent is a killer.

Where is my avitar?

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

Google Ads in the MIDDLE of the comments?

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

Freaky blinking yellow boxes.

OMG, Ive turned into my own sock puppet.

Haloscan had it's problems, but if you opened up the comments in a new window, the ads disappeared. It will take some time to figure out the work around. And Haloscan notified you that posts had been made.

Lets see how skinny this column is going to get.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

I bet specs is pissed because he has to use alpha numerics.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

OK, the time stamp has shifted into the comments space. Not a good thing. Welcome to Diskus Beta tester.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
Because the columns are fixed for the ads, if an individually nested thread has more than eight replies, the post gets fucked up.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
WOW, John, I cannot remember a conversation that went on for more than eight responses. LOL and I have not used LOL in over four years.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

Skinnier, and skinnier and skinnier. I wonder if it will get down to a one letter column?

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
I just noticed that once you get down this far, and ad the right columns do not move even when we are this far down and there is nothing in the columns, that over half my screen is now empty white space but the comments are still being crammed against the first fixed edge.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

The time stamp has returned to its proper position ans I am now posting in vertical column. He everybody, I am a newspaper reporter.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
Now i know why I do not like this threaded thing. Even at Kos, I chose the unthreaded and I still cannot follow the posts.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

Did I mention that I can sing the entire Orthodox Liturgy in Greek? Well ALMOST.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
As an Orthodox Tenor, I am welcomed into every church and suspiciously my blatant sinfulness is overlooked. AHHHH, ECONOMIA.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

John, did you go to Greek School and lear Greek as a child?

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
I learned Byzantine chant when I was 10. I made the Yayas cry.

chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

.
I think I hit the limit as the line is now moving right.

John Aravosis · 1 year ago

You people are insane :-) And yes i went to greek school

MimsyBorogove · 1 year ago

Why not? It's fun to have the ads and revenues AND be in Greece/Europe instead of at the "Take Back America" conference.

Boring. Leave that to others.

Cheese 2.0! And its FREEE!

I've always wanted to play big ass chess. Especially in Greece.

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

I am not trusting the refresh on this.

domino · 1 year ago

I look forward to the travel photos. John has a good eye.

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

The comment times out of order bother me.
Dave first at 47 minutes ago, Olson next at 58 minutes, then me at 52 minutes.

MimsyBorogove · 1 year ago

Change your "options" at this very post level. To "Sort thread by: Oldest First"

Discus will remember. Anyways it has for me.

Meanwhile - have you had your tea?

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

Thanks

Keith_in_Southwest_France · 1 year ago

John... enjoy Paris. Down in this part of France the majority of the men over 50 wear berets. Do not see the younger men wearing them at all.

S_in_Tokyo · 1 year ago

A beret inside? If he were a student of mine, it would be off the moment he walked in the door.
(Just joking, but sometimes my Japanese students come to class with the weirdest things on their heads. That's when I pull the "No hats indoors!" trick. Just to see them go through the rigmarole of taking whatever it is off. Very entertaining.)

John,

What camera + film (if non digital) did you use for those shots. You have a good eye for framing your subjects very well, I'm impressed.

John Aravosis · 1 year ago

Actually, it's my regular old digital Canon Cybershot 700 - they're good cameras.

MimsyBorogove · 1 year ago

Cheese, Glorious Cheese!
