I’m so sorry late today my publishing company asked about using ad on the left side. Since the Elon Musk drama started on Twitter. I have lost 25% of my followers because people are leaving Twitter in protest. That is the site that gives me the most clicks to this site because I post there and HAD 16K in followers. I’m already bleeding money over here. So I agreed to try it. It is supposed to show up on the left side and apparently they just put it up. I emailed my agency but the people on that email are gone for the weekend so we may have to stick with it until Monday.
I’m so sorry, I had no idea it would be so intrusive. It is supposed to be on the left side. I have to click close every time I post and the page refreshes. This is probably going to be a costly mistake for me. Hopefully someone checks the email before Monday.
With the off shore hosting and other things to keep the site going plus my two years of depression reducing my ability to post, things are getting a bit tight. I was thinking of putting the PayPal button back up. Then the ad agency suggested new ads and I preferred that idea.
Can they move it to the right? There is more room in the margin there and then we might still be able to read your words. I don’t take issue with ads unless they take over and make it impossible to read the content 🙂
Well now there is one that won’t go away. It’s annoying AF. This is a hot mess. I’ve always tried to limit my ads a much as possible. 🙁
Gah! Ya the formatting is all messed up now. Especially on a phone. I hope they can make it work that you can keep the ads and we can still read your hard work. You deserve it ❤️
Don’t worry about it, it’s not that bad. As long as you click on “close” and it goes away, I don’t see a problem with it.
Letting you know on my iPhone your words are cut off on the right side and I cannot fix it. I am now on my iPad to see if there is a problem there but all looks fine.
Same on my iPhone. If I turn it sideways it’s fine but super awkward to comment. Thanks TT for letting us know.
Even turning it sideways, some of Tamara’s words on the right are lost.
Same here. Noticed it last night but figured I was just tired.
If you reduce the page view to 50% on iPhone you can see everything (click on the aA symbol on the tool bar.)
LOL! You must have X-ray vision to see that small on iPhone! I tried and it legit looked like tiny dots.
You can manually zoom in and then move the page back and fourth, like on a picture. But yes the font is small at that size 🙂
Clearly I’m an idiot. I don’t know how to use half of the shit on my phone. Thanks for teaching this inept old lady!
You know what? I miss Wendy Williams. Her show kinda keep me sane when my first son was born. Because I would record her talk show and that was what I looked forward to when he finally went to sleep. I will never forget when she literally ate a crow, gosh I miss her commentary so much.
Hope your formatting gets resolved soon…missing half your words on the right. Ugh.
Ugh sorry for the issues. It was wonky this morning but making my brain connect the dots between words just means maybe I can exercise my brain. I say put back the PayPal button.
Sorry for your website problems. Put the PayPal button back up. I know I would contribute and others will for sure.
On my phone screen it seems narrow with a few words missing yet still
Thank you, Fizz for mentioning turning the phone sideways! It’s the only way I can read anything (some is still cut off the right) and yes it is making it very difficult to comment! FWIW, TT, all of it is so far to the right on the mobile version yet I don’t even see the ads on the left. Also, I randomly noticed the donate button at the bottom this past week but the button itself was not a link; the link was displayed below the “button” but it was not a hot link to take the user anywhere. Since this new problem, the link is missing entirely so one can’t even copy/paste it. Hope this helps and hope the Dutch boys get back to you soon! Personally I vote for bringing back the happy pills button but that’s just me- it makes the user experience on the mobile version easier and I’m not opposed to ads if that old placement was brought back. Good luck! Sorry this happened and on a weekend, what a PITA!
I’m missing a lot of the words, too.
Personally, I would gladly pay a yearly fee or something like that rather than have all the ads.
It’s annoying to have to turn the phone sideways and guess at words that are cut off. However, I would do anything for you, TT. It’s a minor inconvenience that won’t make me stop reading or being here. Your loyal followers understand that things happen.
Ditto
Not sure if this will help, but it worked for me. On android phone, clicked on the three dots at top right, selected “desktop site” and now I can see the entire post correctly. Good luck !
As you noted, the ads on the left are obnoxious. I think — from a professional designer’s POV — you have one of the most aesthetically pleasing AND FUNCTIONAL sites of ANY in this genre — recaps, reviews, gossip, celebrity news — and that includes the “big guys.”
I love how the right bar works — listing the stories, the posters, access to search the archives. Not a bunch of stuff crawling on top. IT’S CLEAN. And when you are in the mood for tea to go with you morning wake up or your nightcap, you don’t have to wade through a bunch of crap.
Speaking of daily tea … a setback day for me yesterday… it was 10 weeks since our babies left … i WAS doing a LITTLE better … until ailing Archie yesterday. THEN … I used to read the adorable Pluto.living on IG every day. It was a nice little inspiration from cute little terrier Pluto. I fell off when Pluto University was too much to wade through. The day after our girls, I checked in … but not since then, until yesterday, I had a bad kind of feeling … our Pluto is gone. Posted four hours before I checked. She stayed here with her mom while Mom couldn’t work. She held on. Then let Mom know it was time … RIP and Godspeed sweet Pluto. I will miss you. I hope you find our babies so you can share adventures.
Yes, the ads are annoying. I would not mind but there is no “close” button anywhere to be found. The ads just blink off and on. Hopefully it will get sorted out. I will try to check in from time to time to read your content. Ahhh, technology!
Speaking of ads … there used to be some jewelry. There were things like a jeweled compass pendant or a pave moon. The stuff was nice; it was REAL jewelry; it was not cheap, but there was a range and some I could MAYBE save for. I thought they would be there forever… I wish they would come back.
So I slept all day. It was good sleep I guess I needed it but I will probably be up all night. I have to run out for cigs in a bit.
I am sure that it will be resolved by MONDAY but but tomorrow will be big day with the premiers of RHOA and that’s going to suck.
Thanks for all of you being so understanding. This too shall pass.
UPDATE! MY AD TEAM IS ON IT! SHOULD BE FIXED SOON!
I look at your sight on my laptop, I don’t see anything on the left.
I’m still seeing it.
I THINK IS IT FIXED! IS IT WORKING FOR YOU?
Still the same cut off on the right on my iPhone. Other sites are normal, so it’s this site.
Fuck! Can you try refreshing the page or maybe Google “How to remove cookies from a specific website using {your device}. Because I don’t see them at all any more.
still cannot see all of the text either. will check back on Monday
