It had to do with the fact that I had "third party cookies" disabled - both on my Safari browser and on Chrome.

I violated AFF's rules and typed a post sending people here to your blog. I told them you have links for everybody. And you do!! We'll see if it actually makes it online or gets denied. I may be booted soon, LOL. Hugs!!
Heidi, I'm trying to figure out coded ways of directing people without getting myself banned. I mean, I think eventually I'd be OK with being banned but in the meantime I'm trying to save off content that I don't want to lose forever. BJ had a good idea to just open up my chat room for a bit and give people the info there.
For those who are unaware, Andrew (founder and coder of New Community) is in a fight with the current CEO (Cheif Weasel) to wrestle back control of the site. Here's a link to that lawsuit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D4IZwMhpWFUP0wNQwhMhzYm1vsWlJbihhtICEFkeTEM/edit?usp=sharing For an informative summary, please read the article I wrote for Online Personals Watch https://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/2024/03/the-battle-for-friend-finder-networks-founder-andrew-conru-sues-ceo-jonathan-buckheit.html
I don't know how many are aware, but apparently, there were some changes in the community right before I was banned. One of them was that they added a tip jar to posts for gold members. This means that people can activate a tip jar where users can tip bloggers points. My question is this: Is this going to apply to posts with pictures taken from the internet? Because that, my friends, runs so far afoul of the DMCA, right of publicity, and copyright law that they're going to have issues. I can just see what would happen when their DMCA takedown office is flooded with takedown notices and they dilly dally like they do with everything else. Points, for all intents and purposes, function as currency. People other than the copyright owners will be profiting from their work. The other thing I took note of is when they said that Gold is being weighted higher algorithmically in the Trending List from now on. So, it seems, it's slowly becoming pay-to-play in th...
It was one of two things: Either this Blog Post: Big Mad Once upon a time, there was a scullery maid named Debbi. She labored in the land of Oz, under the mistaken belief that her time and efforts were appreciated by the overlords of Oz. She liked to entertain with her humor and delight by showing off her efforts in the garden. She made friends with other denizens of Oz, like Robin Hood of Nottingham and Maid Marian of the Land of the Rising Sun. Then, the evil overlords yanked her friends away from her, leaving her feeling spiteful and petty. She withdrew many of her recent efforts from Oz because denial is one of her biggest kinks. It didn't matter if the overlords didn't care about her spiteful actions, the fact that she could deny them was enough for her to revel in her actions. The scullery maid is in a quandary, every part of her being is saying to leave the land of Oz. But, she doesn't want to lose touch with the other denizens of Oz. Do you all know how much I ha...
Thanks! I'm still unable to comment as myself though, even on the Chrome browser. Very mysterious.
