It took several attempts, but I think I've got it now. I've got the toolbar back, so that's a good sign.

Townspeeps, over the last week 2 loyal, observant Townspeople have written me to ask why they're unable to log in, unable to address a request to allow cookies, when they're sure they're already allowing cookies. We've run this post a couple of times. The solution to this problem is to clear your cache. If you're having the problem, try clearing your cache. I wish I could come over and do it for you, but short of that, here's another chance to read this PSA. Thanks.

Thanks for that font tip; even old dogs can learn some new technological tricks!

Thanks for having my back Mr. Moderator. I have been busy searching my yard for stray blasting caps and haven't been able to check in until just now.

Speaking for The Back Office, the Amazon and eMusic links will be back. We wanted to get the main content up and running again. It's on his list. Thanks for noticing.

As for the Dirtweed vs AARP thing, it's pretty simple, even if it's not the answer some folks want to hear: we (The Back Office and I) get a kick out of the Dirtweed format. In trying to create the virtual rock world of RTH, it's fun for us to have a Look that's distinctive and, in our minds, representative of our little playground. Even when the sun is shining on the screen - we know. At the moment, the updated software no longer provides the option of a second skin. The Back Office is waiting to see if the plug-in he mentioned will help you and some others. Until then, there's always the option of blowing up the font on your screen. It's so simple I sometimes do it by mistake. I think you do something like hit CONTROL and the + sign on your keyboard at the same time (then CONTROL and - when you want the font to reduce again). My middle-aged eyes have been reduced to wearing reading glasses when I'm in the Halls of Rock. It's not that cool, but then neither are we.

In time solutions will emerge. Thanks.

Back Office (BO?), can someone explain why the ONLY option now has to be this army green with either black or orange font? (Name me one superhero who has ever had those colors for a costume; it wouldn't fly!) Why can't AARP be the only option? Blatant agism! We are a significant voting bloc, you know, just ask anyone who has tried to tamper with Social Security!

And while I'm at it, what happened to the Amazon link?

I look forward to that plug-in. It's the nature of the Southern California sunshine that comes through my windows that at many times of day, a dark screen looks almost entirely black, which is why I was a user of AARP-approved.
