@Delano Keep in mind I did not write the code that powers the discussion forum. It is a 3rd party application that I've installed on my web server. Aside from the administrative functions, you may be as aware of the features as I am. I recently upgraded the software that runs this forum. The upgrade crashed and it took about a day for the vendor to correct the problem. There are some new features and some things will work differently. The assumption is that overall the software should be superior. That said all software has bugs. Sometimes new features are difficult to distinguish from new features. For example, in the screen shot below. When you highlight text it used to say something like copy comment. I don;t remember exactly what is said but it was clearer what would happen. The "-" shown now is unclear. I was only able to guess what it did because I know what happened previously. Is this a bug maybe, but I don't know. Given the stuff on my plate it is not a high priority to determine and resolve. Now the problem with the buttons not showing what they do. That is a problem I have not seen before because I have not attempted to delete a post from a mobile device, since the upgrade. I do however think I know what is causing it and will attempt to fix this as this is a problem. I've seen in the admin screens. I was willing to tolerate this personally but this materially impacts the user experience and I'll get on as soon as I can. Could there be other issues? Of course, but I depend on y'all to let me know I don't have a team of people to test this code. Before I roll it out.

True. I experience this ALL THE TIME. Often when I'm struggling with a solution to a problem. I'll tell myself to forget about it and go onto to something else, confident that my subconscious will continue working on the problem and get back to me with a solution. I only discovered this ability in the last decade or so, as I've dealt with more changing problems working on this website. Some people described this as talking to God or tapping into a collective consciousness. My "story" is a lot simpler: it is simply the way our brain works. You don't need to meditate or gaze into a crystal. In fact, concentrating on a problem only makes it more difficult for arrive at a optimal solution. Your unconscious mind can more effectually do the work -- it has access to more and is not detracted. It can also formulate solutions more creatively.

Everybody and their brother is patting themselves on the back, as if their gut feelings about this case is an indication of how wise they are, never taking into consideration how most black folks have a knee jerk reaction when it comes to how police deal with black victims. Blacks are naturally suspicious about any situation that involves them and law enforcement . That's why the conspiracy crowd is now embracing Bill Cosby and RKelly, creating rationales for their being found guilty. Now a documentary about Michael Jackson is being aired tonight on HBO as an expose of how Michael really was a pedophile according to 2 of his victims, who give graphic accounts of their experiences with him. Yet, another reason for supporting the idea that America is trying to demonize black men. All i gotta say, is that knowing this may be the case, why do brothers put themselves in the position of being branded. Plus, when you seek to perpetuate the myth about penis size and testosterone overload, what can you expect when it comes to your being viewed as sexual predators. The thing about the Jussie Smolette case is that everybody in the equation is a black man, the victim, the chief of police and the 2 Nigerians who i wouldn't trust as far as i could throw them because devious Nigerians have been sticking it to the African-worshiping diaspora from the time they sold them into slavery. Chicago's black chief of police is the most authentic figure in this case. He's a street-wise brother who has no delusions about the racism that permeates the Chicago law enforcement. He bent over backwards to treat Jussie fairly. He has said that Jussie will have his day in court and that the evidence the police have is not solely based on the check, that they have a whole slew of inconsistencies in Jussie's story. So let the chips will fall where they may.

My subconscious is my built-in computer. When i can't remember something i know, all i have to do is feed the data i do remember about the subject into my subconscious mind, and it will process the data and the specific answer i am seeking will pop into my head in a short matter of time. Whatever problem i think about before i go to sleep at night, will be sorted out when i wake up in the morning because my subconscious mind does its thing . My subconscious mind is my alter ego, my best friend, and my spiritual guide. My unconscious mind programs and symbolizes my dreams.

@Pioneer1 You are really itchy over my being civil to this white guest poster, Lorne Carle. It's eating away at you. You can't let it go. And you actually think i have an obligation to justify to you my treatment of Mr. Carle, and that he owes you a response. He and me will let you stew in your juices. Hope our thwarting your eagerness to examine our behavior doesn't aggravate your anal cyst.... 😫
