Changed puzzle ID to 891, still no puzzle :-(

8:44 am

Really, really sorry, folks. I made a grave error before going to bed last night, and I just realized it caused the puzzle not to be created for today. :( It's all fixed now.

8:44 am

i see a puzzle, i see a puzzle...it's a brute :(

8:45 am

Dr_God - we're all human, well at least some of us are :D

8:47 am

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll have sanity today afterall !!!

8:51 am

Too hard, take it back take it back!

8:54 am

I'm almost sorry the puzzle is back...this is evil

8:54 am

Just wondered if anyone had any stats yet.

8:55 am

Not yet Tina

8:57 am

Oh well, I'll just have to see what few I can get, looking at the puzzle I don't think that will be many!!

8:58 am

it's working, hit refresh!!!!!!!!!!

9:11 am

Yea! It's back up! Morning everyone!

9:11 am

thanks guys

9:12 am

ok, now that i can actually see the stats everyone was describing yesterday, can someone explain to me how the gray, white yellow and everything all works?

9:12 am

Thank god (dr god?)! So that was what life was like before babble *shudder*. Hi all :)

9:14 am

Evanadine, yellow are the active root letters, light grey are the number of words made using that active root letter, dark grey means no words start with letter or you've got the ones that are :) Think that makes sense... Hi Lola - nice icon ;)

9:15 am

thanks anj...makes sense once you start using it and seeing how it changes....very helpful not only to have a count by letter, but by each instance of each letter!

9:15 am

Thanks Anj!

9:18 am

anj, what is your pic of?

9:19 am

Brian - Family Guy :)

9:19 am

Looks like a little blue brain to me!

9:21 am

It was a blue brain but it freaked me out.

9:22 am

Nice icon, Anj. ;)

9:23 am

Cheers Dr God. Nice to see some thick black shades ;) Their best song if you ask me

9:29 am

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Thank you Dr. God. btw Anj love the icon!!

9:30 am

Anj, your name was in it yesterday and today mine is! Is this a hidden tribute to the players by Dr_God? :)

9:30 am

Bobsta- Something didn't go right with your icon. It's still really really huge. I'll go ahead and fix it.

9:31 am

Thanx Dr. God It looks a bit squashed (Which ain't a bad thing cos it makes me look slim!!)

9:32 am

Hey Jen, must be a tribute thing :) How does it feel to be a j3/10??

9:32 am

Bobsta - you look like one of the cool MC Escher drawings, where he drew reflections of objects in curved surfaces

9:33 am

LOL thanx jojojo

9:33 am

It's a beautiful thing! I'd like to thank my family and friends for this honor.... ;)

9:33 am

i hafta say, i *LOVE* the stats for pro babble! im definitely gonna save a lotta paper this way!! :D

9:33 am

Great to see the puzzle back... thanks Dr_God!

9:33 am

..encore, encore! :)

9:34 am

Ok. Refresh your browsers, everybody. Bobsta's icon will be a little quicker to load now that it's 48x48 and not 1632x1224. ;)

9:36 am

Fank Yoo Dr. God. ;o)

9:37 am

Evanadine- know what you mean about the stats:) Will help with squinty-eye syndrome at 11pm too! Dr God- all is forgiven due to great stats program! Anj- make up your mind babe! :)

9:38 am

9:38 am

This is a toughie, I think.

9:40 am

Hey Lola, i'm a bloke that likes change. You girls should be lapping that up lol ;)

It's good to be back with friends

10:25 am

10:28 am

Lola, I have to say - I like your icon ;)

10:29 am

Thank you peter! Are you gonna get one?

My non-babblers are starting to get worried that they will not get fed again tonight so I'd better go. I shall return later :)

10:58 am

Got it, thanks Eva :)

10:58 am

me 4/9

11:00 am

I find it hard to believe it doesn't accept mens as a valid word, but it must be because its the possive version of the word.

11:01 am

mtnjock, youre thinking of "men's"

11:01 am

nice pic, btw EvaNadine

11:02 am

Have yi5/26, and yi4/7 Help me before I fade away...

11:02 am

How many of the Ms are Mi ?

Yay! That's the fastest i've ever puzzled that :)

11:03 am

Yl4/9, Yo4/7

11:03 am

Boysaway, 3 of them are Mi

11:03 am

thanks mtnjock, a few years old, dressed up for my company christmas party. :)

11:04 am

Thanks Evanadine

11:04 am

I make it 4 mi`s.

11:05 am

just two more words to go... both t's already have te4/4x2...

11:05 am

looked bad to begin with, but ok in the end...helps to know which tiles the words begin with (now I know how to interpret the stats!) :)

11:06 am

evanadine you are my Savior!

11:06 am

yes, sorry, 4 of them are Mi...i cant count...heh

11:08 am

movieman there's a th4/7 and a t5 that is my last one too!

11:09 am

ta5/24

11:10 am

Eva, help with the yo4/7... tried all math combos... is there a definition?

11:11 am

Thanx Sherb -- all done in time for lunch!

11:11 am

I Be Done! Yippee! (pant, pant) Just in time for the end of work;)

11:11 am

oh my, Yo4/7 "A stylized representation of a vulva worshiped as a symbol of a goddess or Shakti"

11:12 am

Bugzy - you're welcome...bon appetit, soon time for supper here in London :)

11:12 am

Yet another Babble completed!!! Just in time before the men in white coats arrive... (They're coming to take me away ha, ha!!!)

11:13 am

Evanadine ... do NOT ask me how or why I know that y word, but the instant I read your def the word popped into my head. LOL. hmmm.

11:14 am

hehe...we all know a few things along that line darleen...

11:14 am

I have y5 and yo4,yi4 what is the other one please?

11:14 am

Yl4/9

11:15 am

Hey Darleen, do you have Live Cult?

11:15 am

duh, forgot that combo... also why not accept seahag? We had tenpin and leonine... GRRRRR

11:15 am

Thanks evanadine.You look stunning.

11:16 am

and Eva, OMG talk about a surprise with that def. (blushing)

11:16 am

*blush* thanky macadam

11:17 am

Anj... no I don't.

11:18 am

I've got in on vinyl but I'm after it on CD. You've got me on a nostalgia trip after our chat the other day :)

11:19 am

Anj I'm waiting for the isp guy to come install our modem (we're FINALLY getting DSL out here) and when I do I'll be shopping iTunes store like mad. :-)

11:27 am

can anyone give me a definition for the ac4/9 please?

11:27 am

Go for it! I'm uploading tracks off the Rare Cult box set at the mo, but I miss the live stuff from the Pure Cult box :( Might be able to get it on dvd I s'pose...

11:28 am

A radical having the general formula RCO-, derived from an organic acid.

11:28 am

ac4 / 9

11:29 am

Ginger - ac4/9 - a radical having the general formula RCO-, derived from an organic acid btw, what are you doing with that giant polo? :D

11:30 am

thanks... just noticed I have it in its plural form duh <blush>

11:31 am

the giant polo is one of the hoops from an extremely large connect 4 puzzle and the fingers belong to my daughter Beth!

11:34 am

First, how do I set up an icon in babble pro? That's too cool. Also, stats have three A blocks. Does that mean A words of different lengths? Or is it a glitch?

11:35 am

see ya later guyz, back on when i get home

11:35 am

is there 3 co/4/6 ??????

11:36 am

wilson, yes there is

11:36 am

sorry misread that no there isn't

11:39 am

Ty bobsta :))

11:41 am

Julie, click on you profile - the icon is in the top right - click on edit and then either go online to grab a buddy or use one of your own :)

11:41 am

Julie (trying again here) the stats mirror the word grid

11:42 am

Julie - I had the same question...click on the help link at the bottom of the stats panel, and it explains it all beautifully :)

11:45 am

Babble won't add a word when I hit enter. I have to click on the add button every time. Annoying.

11:45 am

julie, the blocks in the grid directly relate to each letters position in the grid.

11:46 am

Must have been a blip. Now it's working just fine. Stupid computer.

11:48 am

I'm back!

11:49 am

time to go make salade nicoise...planned yesterday when the weather was sweltering, now it's cool and cloudy, oh well...

11:49 am

That was a test to see if my icon worked... ;>

11:52 am

morning all

11:54 am

evening baggo :)

11:54 am

I should just come on and say hello, how are things?

11:58 am

Question of the day: Let's all vote on a new feature I thought I might add. How would you guys feel about a little country flag icon appearing next to all your names so we know where you're located? I'm on the fence about the whole idea. Let me know what you think.

11:59 am

Like that idea Dr God - how about a clock showing time differences too?

12:00 pm

I like that idea Dr-God!!!

12:00 pm

Dr God I think thats a great idea!! 8)

12:01 pm

i think that would be fun...at the very least, it would help us know when someone isnt a native english-speaker and might need a little more help with the tougher words in the puzzle...

12:01 pm

I like the Flag idea myself.

12:02 pm

this might be above/beyond what youre looking to do, but what about profiles that other people can see? so someone could clik on your username and see location, age, how long youve been playing....whatever info we enter...

12:04 pm

evanadine- Not a bad idea. I might just do that. Everyone? Whaddaya think about having full-blown profiles? The profiles would of course be optional.

12:06 pm

Yup, I can with that. You could say as little or as much as you like.

12:07 pm

I guess it would be ok to have profiles but they are only as good as the info put on them... I like the flag isea so even if you don't want to include a profile you can at least say what country iof that makes sense. Would everyone be able to fill a profile... pro and normal?

12:07 pm

i figure we all get to know each other on here from chatting so much, why not? i guess it would require some sorta monitoring, but i think it would be fun. :)

12:07 pm

EXCELLENT idea!

12:07 pm

that doesn't sound bad to me...then i won't goof. when I know that lots of you aren't in the us

12:08 pm

GingerUK- Only Pro players could have profiles.

12:08 pm

what EvaNadine said makes sense... about monitoring.... this can create an admin nightmare.........

12:08 pm

how about a timer as well that we can individually activate each time we play - just for fun. maybe each puzzle could have a target time?

12:10 pm

GingerUK & evanadine- I don't think it would require much monitoring. The Babble community is pretty self-policing. If anything regarding a profile needed my attention, you guys could just let me know.

12:10 pm

i think there could be appointed monitors...or there could be a "report this profile" button on each page...anyone who is found to have an indecent profile gets their account frozen. and since its only gonna be pro babble players (and thus people who paid money) i think the incidents would be minimal...

12:12 pm

testing new icon..it's better than the faeries

12:13 pm

There are word filters that can censor any dodgy stuff, although I must admit i'm not in favour of that...

12:15 pm

I vote yea on the flag and profile suggestions. I really don't think there would be that much attention required. Most everyone seems fairly mature here, and besides there is always the direct "send a message" button if anyone has a concern.

12:17 pm

any help on the 'j's please? I have 1 that sounds like alcoholic drinks.....

12:18 pm

i think there are pros and cons to every idea...but i think you have to risk the negative if you wanna make things even better than they already are! :)

12:19 pm

GingerUK -- there are a total of 3 that sounds like those drinks. then there are 2 (singular and plural) that are a type of leap/jump done in ballet

12:19 pm

thanks EvaNadine!!

12:20 pm

maybe i dont drink enough

12:21 pm

rolin...*drink* and tonic, *drink* and juice...

12:22 pm

is there an e6 ?

12:23 pm

nope, E5 and E4 x2

12:23 pm

agzam2 - Just a6 & m6

12:24 pm

ok .... kewl .... thx torgone & evanadine

12:24 pm

Hum weird that u can only become a pro player with a credit card I guess us without credit cards are just out of luck.I guess I wont ever be a pro :))

12:25 pm

And a BANK MACHINE...great to have nearby always....

12:25 pm

are there really 3 Ji4's???

12:26 pm

jen, there are 3 Ji's total. 4x2 and 5x1

12:26 pm

ok, having trouble with the other Ji drink sounding ones!

12:26 pm

ginger, they all sound like the same drink, so jus tplay with the spelling....2 plural, one singular....

12:27 pm

groovy, thanks

12:27 pm

It's not that i can't get a credit card I just don't want one because people tend to put themselves in debt with them :))

12:28 pm

wilson, just curious, are you in the states? seems over here, its impossible to live life as an adult without one...even if you dont use the card, everyone requires that you have a credit history to make any large purchases...easiest way to have a credit history is to have a card...

12:30 pm

It's almost the only way to purchase anything on the internet.

12:30 pm

wilson, i have no credit cards just a debit card, which is what i used...

12:31 pm

im the same as you baggo...just a check card...but i used to have credit cards...

12:33 pm

got them now thanks EvaNadine! :)

12:33 pm

Lol evadine , Im in W.v. , USA . I have purchased vehicles and land here and have never had a credit card. When I get applications in the mail for credit cards i trash them because I know we would be using them for things we don't really need.Like now , if i had one i would be spending $9.95 to become a pro player which isn't mush but it does add up and the way gas prices are going every extra penny will be going into the gas tank to get my hubby to work and children to sports :))

12:35 pm

more power to ya wilson! same reason i got rid of the credit cards...but alas, i think im about to get my first one in years... i just dont have the willpower to save up, but im really good at making myself pay things off!

12:37 pm

I only get bills i have to have , we in the US are going to see it rougher and rougher and I have 3 kids to raise so I have to watch what Im doing :))

12:38 pm

heh, i just have me the 2 cats...cant imagine the 3 kids!!

12:38 pm

any clues for the O word?

12:39 pm

hi guys! ; ) Lots of great ideas here today! I especially love Denny's idea of a timer, just for fun. It might save me from RSI and ruining my eyes! (I need help!) : D Still can't see properly cos old glasses too old, and eye test not until next week..... I've got a credit card, but I know once I start spending, I can't stop. So I'm not going Pro, however much I'd love to. I look like Natalie Imbruglia! heheheheh (no seriously I do. Me her -- mirror image!) : D xx

12:39 pm

O5...the beginning

12:40 pm

Good shout Wilson. The way the big banks are chucking credit at folk over here in the UK is storing up real misery for the future. I think I read somewhere that each adult owes an average of £7000 (say $12500) each at the moment. It's scary.

12:40 pm

THANK YOU!

12:41 pm

between my mortgage, car payment, bills, student loans, and now gas prices...maybe i should get my $10 back...hehe but i say that in jest. its tough to find inexpensive ways to have fun, so 3 cheers for babble!

12:42 pm

evandaline...i just had my first day back at school......can you give me a second letter after the 'o' pls?

12:42 pm

Hi guys, I'm back! Family are fed and have promised to leave me in peace for a while :) Flags sound great as do profiles. It really would be up to you as to how much info you give out, wouldn't it? We already exchange info about where we live etc anyway.

12:42 pm

any chance I can get a breakdown of the C's and M's, I'm missing just one of each

12:43 pm

rolin -- On

12:44 pm

wilson27fan brought up a good point. Would anyone who doesn't have a credit card (or doesn't want to use a credit card) pay by "eCheck" if I added the ability to do so? I've always thought that no one would use this feature because it requires that you enter your bank info.

12:44 pm

ya bewdiful....ty

12:44 pm

ae they are already broke down In the chat.

12:44 pm

Dr God -- I just thought...... what about Paypal?

12:45 pm

there is also a method called "payPal"

12:45 pm

AEuser: me4/6 x 4 me4/9 me5/14 me6/39 mi4/6 x 2 mi5/14 x 2

12:45 pm

I've thought of adding PayPal, too.

12:46 pm

Yes Dr.God i think that would be good for those who don't have credit cards,it would be up to the individual wether to add there bank info!!!

12:46 pm

Paypal is excellent

12:46 pm

thanks Anj

12:47 pm

Paypal would be good also :))

12:48 pm

apparently, it's not completely safe, but hey, what is?? I trust it for eBay.

12:48 pm

Babbler... I have never had a problem with Paypal - I have used it a lot for Ebay and such. I agree.... what IS 100% safe on here anyway?!

12:49 pm

i think anytime you send your info out into the world, even through snaik mail, theres a *chance* someone will take it and do bad things with it. but from what ive heard, PayPal is one of the safest ones...

12:50 pm

No worries AE - here are the Cs: ca4/9 ch4/9 x 2 ch4/12 ch5/26 co4/6 x 3 co4/9 x 2 co5/14 Have fun :)

12:50 pm

When I was selling avon on e-bay i used paypal,I never had any problems with it but as u say nothing is 100% safe !!!

12:50 pm

i only enter private information into secure websites .... that have the little padlock at the bottom .... so i am less worried about someone stealing something they shouldn't have with that said ... it would be nice to have a little something for us "non-pro" babblers ... a link to see who's logged in available to all users

12:51 pm

I'm gonna be spending a bomb on new glasses (and a spare pair.... I have learnt my lesson the hard way!!), so I'm being mega strict for now. I might go Pro in the future, Evanadine's right -- this is an inexpensive joy!

12:51 pm

Is anyone currently using the regular Babble site (i.e. www.playbabble.com) or are we all on the beta site (beta.playbabble.com) ?

12:51 pm

im on beta

12:52 pm

I'm on beta mostly nowadays......

12:52 pm

Beta

12:52 pm

Beta for me too.

12:52 pm

Beta, Baby!

12:52 pm

once you go beta...

12:52 pm

i'm on regular http://www.playbabble.com/

12:52 pm

I was on the other site but this one runs faster and on the other one I couldn't see peoples icons,which I am finding interesting.

12:53 pm

beta as of yesterday - although i do have the odd little hiccup with it.... is that normal?

12:53 pm

beta

12:54 pm

I get beta hiccups too. Must be normal....

12:54 pm

Hiccups?

12:54 pm

Swynio, cletaes, slet? Dr. G you must shake the box of little tiles more vigorously in future. This is too haaard (whine, complain, make unpleasant facial expressions).

12:54 pm

...can't get better than a Babble beta :)

12:54 pm

a few times, the chat log hasnt refreshed itself, so i had to refresh my browser...

12:55 pm

yah... now and again it won't post in the chat thing, or won't list a word or something....

12:55 pm

.... or takes ages to take a word..... ........or takes one, only to spew it out later.....

12:56 pm

ooh, got a meeting in 4 minutes! gotta run!!

12:56 pm

I had to refresh earlier after i put a word in the chat got an error message and the word didnt go in.

12:57 pm

I learnt it's best not to refresh sometimes. But othertimes, it's very necessary. It's instinctive!!

12:58 pm

I notice a lot of slow down when everyone is posting. My browser usually pauses 5 or 6 times when i'm typing a message depending on the traffic. Sometimes takes a minute or so to shake its feathers...

12:58 pm

snap. sometimes it can't cope when a message is coming in, and I've just pressed "Add".

12:59 pm

but a little patience is all it needs. I still prefer beta to the 'norma' one.

1:00 pm

My theory on the hiccups is that they're caused by the chat log constantly refreshing itself. I have two potential solutions: 1) Increase the time between chat refreshes 2) Give the user a choice between auto- and manual-refreshing

1:00 pm

not having any of those problems with http://www.playbabble.com/ .... except i have to refresh my browser cuz this site doesn't have "auto-refresh"

1:00 pm

I love auto refresh. that's why I choose beta over 'normal'

1:02 pm

well... it doesn't really bother me a lot - not sure about anyone else

1:03 pm

me neither.

1:03 pm

Dr. God - I vote for a button -- you could turn auto-refresh on or off

1:04 pm

Well,the day has finally come. The old site has been killed off, and the beta site is now the default site. So no more need to go to beta.playbabble.com. Just www.playbabble.com will do from now on. (fingers crossed)

1:04 pm

Gotta say, auto-refresh is more convenient. I can live with the wobbles

1:05 pm

yay

1:05 pm

Ooh, Dr G, had a pang of regret there. That old site gave me many hours of pleasure :) I call for a minutes silence........!

1:07 pm

lol lola

1:07 pm

is this what beta looked like? ... i liked having my word list next to my puzzle ... what happened? lol

1:07 pm

a hint for the mi5/14 please, not the underground one

1:07 pm

agzam2- Force reload your browser (i.e. hold down "Alt" or "Option" while reloading.)

1:07 pm

Flag's at half-mast... lol

1:08 pm

boysaway -- I think you want plural of : An appearance or aspect.

1:09 pm

Boysaway, re-arrange the last 3 letters of your underground mi5

1:09 pm

clue for co 5/14 pleazzzze

1:09 pm

Another solution to the chat log hiccups: Limit the chat log to the last 100 posts by default with the option of viewing all posts at any time.

1:10 pm

well ... that did fix that problem ... thx now i don't have a complete puzzle lol .... and ... wow this thing takes forever to load and i'm on high speed internet !!

1:10 pm

mi4 and 5: demeanor - like underground with 2 letters switched around.

1:10 pm

Thanks Anj and Babbler, got it!

1:11 pm

sounds like a good idea, Dr God.... because some of those earlier posts are definitely handy for clues when the going gets tough!

1:11 pm

Blaze ~ A plural form of metal money

1:11 pm

after 1 hour, I only have 28 words. Ugh!

1:12 pm

Sounds good Dr G.

1:12 pm

big oops i had it.... I am still learning how to use the stats to HELP me..self Thanks

1:12 pm

any clues for the me6?

1:13 pm

well.. had better get on with some work, since that is what I am paid to do!!! later, all!!!

1:13 pm

Dr G - can we still get to the old site when beta's not working? If it hadn't been for the old site earlier today, I'd have just had an error message...instead of which I could share the chat log with others while we waited :) I'm all in favour of the flags, profiles etc...it would be optional, after all...

1:14 pm

Boysaway - a man (Jewish) :)

1:14 pm

Dr_God - Good idea that, but make it 50. And maybe some protection against those times when someone accidentally re-posts the entire log. Oh, and easier puzzles. This one's diabolical!

1:16 pm

sherb- The only site is now dead. There's no goin' back. May it rest in peace. ;)

1:16 pm

Boysaway ~ a yiddish word meaning "A person having admirable characteristics"

1:16 pm

"only" site? I meant to say "old" site. :)

1:16 pm

*sniff* does anyone have a hanky?

1:16 pm

awwwww. R.I.P.

1:16 pm

i think the option to view 50, 100 or all posts would be good ... ppl can decide for themselves how much or little to view

1:17 pm

where can you find a yiddish dictionary ??

1:18 pm

google it!! I just got it! thx for the clue, Minski and Sherb!

1:19 pm

its in common usage: "thanks, you're a me****"

1:19 pm

hi all, well i really thought i would be able to do this puzzle without asking for elp but never mind - tbw Dr God - LOVE the stats bit - it's grrrreat! i only need 3 words ie and 2 i's i have 1xea, 1xet, i4/4x2 i5 could someone please put me out of my misery?

1:19 pm

Yes, tyvm

1:19 pm

I've not heard it used before (UK). (tho may have heard and not know what they were on about)

1:20 pm

goooot it

1:20 pm

I found the word from sherb's clue because I knew the word but her definition was incorrect and anyone who doesn't know the word wouldn't be able to find it. After I found the word I clicked the ? next to the word for a better definition.

1:20 pm

awww...g'bye old babble, old friend!

1:21 pm

ours was a very brief but intense meeting - gone but not forgotten RIP babble :-(

1:21 pm

Denny,2 in5 and 1 in4.

1:22 pm

I stand corrected, should have looked it up, rather than go from instinct :)

1:23 pm

Denny - another ea4 or ea5

1:24 pm

My input: limit the chat log to 50 posts and I also like the country flag idea... GREAT work, Dr_ God...

1:25 pm

hoorah - thanks torgone and macadam - that's me done - 2 days in a row! good luck everyone - if anyone wants any hints i will be on line for a lttle while longer

1:26 pm

denny,could you give me the y list please.

1:26 pm

OK -- I truly am addicted 'for life' to Babble!! Dr. God: agree with flag icons; with limits on chat log as long as we can pull up the entire one if needed; really enjoy not having to wait for the grid to reload with each word. Good job!!

1:27 pm

That was a short meeting evanadine, did you tell them you had better things to do? :)

1:27 pm

ya5/26, yi4/7, yl4/9, yo4/7

1:27 pm

where is the autorefresh?

1:28 pm

Cheers .It helped.

1:28 pm

heh, luckily for once it wasnt a "you did bad!" meeting, which my boss usually does since he doesnt back us up on anything. this time it was a "they wanna make a change and i dont knoww hat im talking about, so i have to ask you" meeting...

1:28 pm

Anj- like your new pic :) Will this one last any longer than the others?

1:29 pm

time for my dinner and Eastenders. 38 words. What a beast! TTFN! : D

1:30 pm

Eva- lol, bosses: can't live with them, can't kill them :)

1:30 pm

Hint for the YO 4/7?

1:30 pm

heh, my parents LURVE eastenders...but here in the states, i think we are about 5 years behind...heh

1:30 pm

Denny, is there a YL word?

1:31 pm

amen to that lola! november will be my 5-year anniversary here, and im on manager #3! #1 retired, #2 left and was a total psycho (but she loved me, does that say something about me?!), and this one, #3, automatically assumes we screwed up if someone else isnt happy and doesnt stand up for us for anything!

1:31 pm

A stylized representation of a vulva worshiped as a symbol of a goddess or Shakti. and yes there is a yl word - found it by monkey fingers but hold on and i will get a definition or clue

1:32 pm

Yl4 "A form of matter hypothesized by proponents of the big bang theory to have existed before the formation of the chemical elements"

1:33 pm

boysaway - the definition is a bit long winded so i will go for the cryptic instead! question a short citrus fruit

1:33 pm

Thanks Denny. Got it.

1:34 pm

Of course, how stupid of me!!?!?!

1:34 pm

Lola, think I will try to stick to one icon a day in future...they're a bit moreish lol

1:34 pm

My last boss and his wife and kids became like my second family. I worked for him for over nine years and still visit them whenever I'm back in South Africa. I'm trying to watch Eastenders and babble at the same time, not good!

1:35 pm

where did people get there cool icons? i love moozey's

1:35 pm

...and sherb's

1:36 pm

Denny, go surf. Are you looking for anything in particular?

1:36 pm

But Denny, yours has to be the cutest!

1:37 pm

Denny- Anj "I can't decide on an icon" has an entire library of them, ask him for one! LOL :)

1:37 pm

not really - just in case i get bored. i like to change things once in a while, like the furniture arrangement. my husband moans at me but i just point out that it is considerably cheaper than redecorating!

1:39 pm

thanks lola - he is! i get stopped every time we go shopping cos he has the most beautiful smile and big blue eyes - he's a proper charmer! but not when he's locked himself in the bathroom like he did yesterday!

1:40 pm

Denny- OMG, I'm still waiting for my three year old to do that! How'd you get him out? *she asks for future reference*

1:41 pm

My icon was drawn by another Babbler, Calicomo, who is an artist. I use it on my 'other' place. It has been shrunk down a lot, but it represents a little girl being bossy (she who must be obeyed) and wearing a kilt for my Nova Scotian roots. The liitle girl also has ringlets, which I NEVER had when I wa little LOL

1:42 pm

he just figured it out himself - it's just a simple slide lock, but he was giggling the whole time while i was attempting to break the door down! he then decided to play with it again and voila!

1:43 pm

swmbo - that's soooo cute!

1:46 pm

whoa! did anyone else just get the bum's rush??? :(

1:46 pm

I did Anj

1:47 pm

Woooah! What's Dr God up to now? HELP!

1:47 pm

I need the A break down I have the ag 5/12 6/21 need major help this am

1:47 pm

Where did my word list go????????????

1:48 pm

Blaze, it's what you might go through to get into your front garden or a field ;) (then plural)

1:48 pm

whats with the weird layout?

1:48 pm

Mary- Force refresh your browser (i.e. hold down "Option" or "Alt" while reloading)

1:49 pm

Actually those are the ones I have I need the rest... sorry

1:49 pm

has everyone gone all central?

1:49 pm

Everyone- Force reload your browsers.

1:50 pm

Sorry, brain/fingers communication breakdown there... :( Let's try again - you need: ac4/6 ac4/9 ac5/20 ag4/8 at4/4 ay4/7 ay5/16

1:50 pm

how do you force reload?

1:51 pm

Hold down "alt" or "option" while reloading.

1:51 pm

My message box froze mid-send, then I was hoofed back to the main sign-in screen. Everything looked normal when I signed back in :)

1:52 pm

i only need 2 words .... in 5 10 in 4 7 in 4 4 in 5 10 and ...... me 4 6 me 4 6 me 4 6 me 4 6 me 5 14 me 4 9 mi 4 6 mi 5 14 mi 4 6 mi 5 14 what am i missing ?

1:52 pm

io4/4

1:53 pm

anj you need ag5/12 ag6/21

1:53 pm

Me6/39

1:53 pm

Sorry if anyone is getting redirected all of a sudden. I redirected all beta traffic to www.playbabble.com.

1:54 pm

Ah, the penny drops... :)

1:54 pm

so, dr_god...tell us about yourself? do you get paid to run babble? or is this for fun? tell us all about the good doctor...or is it improper to ask such things of a deity? hehe

1:54 pm

is it supposed to be centralised still?

1:55 pm

Denny- Centralized?

1:56 pm

ty evanadine ..... big help ... all done :)

1:56 pm

all my screen - chat log, stats, word list and puzzle are all central, not left justified like they were before. also my word list is right at the bottom

1:56 pm

Yeah, me too. Even tried logging out and coming back, still all weird.

1:57 pm

i've logged out 2 or 3 times and no change

1:57 pm

do an alt refresh .... or option refresh

1:57 pm

Mine, too, are centralized and you have to go all the way to the bottom to see what words you have or still need.

1:57 pm

odd, mine looks perfectly normal...

1:58 pm

i did that agzam but no change - will try logging off compeltly

1:58 pm

Done a few alt refreshes, no good :(

1:59 pm

mine looks normal too

1:59 pm

logged off - no change

2:00 pm

lola and Denny- What browsers are you using?

2:00 pm

erm...aol?!

2:00 pm

Can I have an S breakdown please?

2:00 pm

Internet explorer.

2:01 pm

Denny- It has to be a cache issue. Because the beta site and the current site use the exact same pages. If you don't mind, can you quit AOL and log back in? That might clear your cache.

2:01 pm

Lola- I assume it's version 6.0?

2:01 pm

sc4/7 se4/4x2 se5/10 se4/6 se4/4 se5/10

2:02 pm

sc 4 7 se 4 4 se 4 4 se 5 10 se 4 6 se 4 4 se 5 10

2:02 pm

I just did that, logged off aol, and even restarted my computer and it's still the same.

2:02 pm

That's right Dr God :)

2:03 pm

Thanks Denny and agsam

2:04 pm

lola- You can try and go to "Internet Options" under the Tools menu and click the "Delete Files..." button under Temprorary Files. See if that helps.

2:05 pm

clear ur cookies too .... and the history .... wouldn't hurt

2:05 pm

hmm.trying the non-beta version...dont like the setting out....cant see the word list and grid at the same time

2:05 pm

no change - logged off etc but still in the middle

2:07 pm

This is all very bizarre. The files from the beta site and the regular site are one and the same as of an hour ago, so there should be no difference. I'm stumped...

2:07 pm

rolin - i think it may be a problem - me and lola are having the same thing

2:08 pm

and i cant seem to switch back to beta mode.....oooohhh the gremlins have moved in

2:08 pm

Are either of you running any other progs or resources that could be RAM hoggers?

2:08 pm

Can anyone send me a screen shot of the site if it's not working for them? feedback@playbabble.com

2:09 pm

rolin -- dr_god did away with the "old" site, so all there is is beta, even if youre using the old URL

2:09 pm

Dr God- did as you suggested (often do a disc clean-up anyway) but still no change. Will try logging out and re-starting my computer :)

2:11 pm

eeek! just logged back in. Don't mean to sound rude, but I don't like the new look. I like the word list next to the puzzle, it means I can contemplate and figure things out. And messages being centred make them harder to read. The 'old' layout worked very well.

2:11 pm

Anj- no. Not even listening to music! Dr God- I'm a bit of a techno idiot- how do you send a screen shot?

2:11 pm

the whole thing is centally justified but is ok... can read everything fine. Takes forever to download the icons though and that's on 2mb braodband!

2:11 pm

need clues for ch 4./9 I have one but need other to complete the c's

2:12 pm

lola, hit cntrl-and-print screen at the same time. then open up paint or some program like that and paste the image in there.

2:12 pm

it's clearly a selective problem - my view looks just fine

2:12 pm

I think people are seeing things differently depending on unknown factors, my layout is the sale as it has always been but with the buddy icons

2:14 pm

it's on it's way dr god

2:15 pm

i had that problem earlier, but it went away when i did "alt-refresh" as Dr_God suggested .... it worked the first time

2:15 pm

mine started out as the right layout...but then when i came back to it looking all centred

2:15 pm

ch4/9 if it's not the talkign one, then think of the italian word for goodbye, but spell it like it's spoken!

2:15 pm

Ok. After lookin at Denny's screen shot, I'm thinking it's definitely a cache issue. You'll have to find some way to clear your browser's cache so it can load the new style sheet and make things look all pretty again.

2:16 pm

ahaaa! just did Alt plus refresh........ much better!!! awwww, all happy now.... : )

2:16 pm

Dr god for us technophobes can you tell us what to do? i did the delete temp files and cookies.

2:17 pm

is that alt f5????....cos it didnt work for me...*pout*

2:17 pm

right i'm gonna close down, watch NCIS and come back at 9pm

2:17 pm

Denny- I just don't know what to do beyond that. I'm still stumped.

2:17 pm

yay!! lola ... did u hold down "alt" and then click "refresh" ?

2:19 pm

agzam2- yup, keep trying that, no joy.

2:19 pm

have you got a 'page refresh' button on your keyboard?

2:20 pm

Dr. God, I did everything, Alt & refresh, cleaned the cookies, restarted the entire computer and still the same. My list is way on the bottom, the grid is in the middle, and everything is centralized.

2:20 pm

no babbler....is it the same as the f5 button?

2:21 pm

oooh, I don't know if it's F5. Would you use that on eBay to refresh your page and check how your bids are doing?

2:21 pm

rolin .... try holding down "alt" and then clicking "refresh" or "reload" in ur browser window

2:22 pm

nada...*sigh*...ah well..ill cope

2:23 pm

Dr_God... My page is constantly downloading images! Everytime the chat log updates it startw agai More than 300 items each time.in!!!

2:23 pm

Any clue for the ac5/20?

2:23 pm

mine is doing the same thing ..... refreshing every few seconds

2:24 pm

GingerUK- What browser are you using?

2:24 pm

plural of ac 4/9

2:24 pm

Sheesh. Go away for an hour and all hell breaks loose. OK, I emptied my cache and now everything is fine.

2:24 pm

IE6

2:25 pm

same here

2:25 pm

The same is happening for me to with IE 6. Very bizarre.

2:26 pm

Glad I'm not alone!

2:26 pm

I'm using Safari vs. 2.0

2:26 pm

what's ie/6? any clues? let me try....

2:27 pm

ooooooh, eee by gum, hang about, you mean Internet Explorer 6. by eck! I use Firefox.....

2:27 pm

ie 6 is the browser we're using .... not a word

2:27 pm

lol

2:27 pm

Internet Explorer 6 Babbler!!! LOL

2:28 pm

ooooh, I know. I think I should log off for the night. (face burning with embarrassment!!!) lol !!

2:28 pm

you are not the only one

2:28 pm

lol .... no need to be embarrassed ... ur heads in the puzzle :p

2:29 pm

How about an optino to view or not to view buddy icons?

2:30 pm

I think I know why. Explorer is having to caches all the icons again now that the site name has changed, and for some reason it's not storing any of them until it downloads them all first, and the chat log is refreshing itself before all the icons can finish downloading. It's a vicious cycle. I just turned off the chat log auto-update. So everyone refresh their browsers and let's all let the icons download and get stored in cache. :)

2:30 pm

yes!! ..... they take a long time to load

2:31 pm

400 items being downloaded !!

2:31 pm

Firefox is nice and fast.

2:32 pm

I'm only 1mb broadband.

2:32 pm

*sniff sniff* i've logged back on after rebooting but it's still the same! i tried that alt refresh thing but no good. i will try another browser if possible

2:32 pm

it's just me that's slow....! (still giggling..)

2:33 pm

Yeah, Denny, me too :(

2:34 pm

http://www.mozilla.org you'll find it here. (hopefully)

2:34 pm

does any one have the H breakdown I am stuck at three words only

2:35 pm

Darleen- how did you empty your cache?

2:35 pm

That's much better Dr God, thanks!

2:35 pm

Lola, go to "Safari" in the menu bar and select "empty cache."

2:37 pm

ha 4 7 ha 4 7 ha 5 30 ha 4 14 ha 5 30 ha 4 7 ha 5 16 ha 4 10

2:37 pm

mines done at last Dr_God

2:37 pm

or try Tools, Options....

2:39 pm

Well, it looks like Safari and Firefox do quite well with caching the icons and not trying to download them again if they've already downloaded them one. Internet Explorer insists on downloading the same icon over and over again for each post from the same person. Ugh...

2:39 pm

Ah, yet another reason to go Mac. ;-)

2:40 pm

i think an option to view or not view icons is definitely needed .... especially for those who do not have high speed internet

2:41 pm

agzam2- Definitely. This is on my list of things to do.

2:43 pm

lol .... sounds like ur list is pretty long

2:43 pm

It's not doing it anymore for me Dr_God ... images are now downloaded and it's no longer insisting on doing it again!

2:44 pm

OH help please, this is driving me nuts!! Any clues for the ha 4/14 and ha 5/30 pleeease?

2:45 pm

GingerUK- It will only try and download all the images when you refresh. So just stay away from that Refresh button. :)

2:45 pm

I'm having an IE6 'mare... Been trying to post a message for the last 30 mins :( It's just constantly refreshing. I'm going to go stick a bat up Bill Gate's nightdress...

2:46 pm

well I went off to watch Eastenders (it's all falling apart...) and I see you've all been having fun in the meantime I'm on IE6 and have been spending a lot of time waiting for icons to download 9but I lurve the icons) :)

2:47 pm

lol anj .... boysaway .... One who has made a pilgrimage to Mecca. Often used as a form of address for one who has made such a pilgrimage.

2:47 pm

Anj- Refresh. I extended the auto-refresh of the chat log to 200 seconds.

2:48 pm

bit stuck on the first ha4/7. I've got the Scots "to have". any clues to the other one, next to it in the list? tvm!

2:48 pm

Babbler, change the last letter

2:49 pm

Babbler - another common Babble word - Scots for a small amount

2:49 pm

babbler ... A minute amount; a jot.

2:51 pm

ahaaa! thx guys!! : D

2:52 pm

I'm not getting any of the refresh problems like Anj but still have centred screen. Can't think of anything else to "clean"! Logged out, restarted, came back, still the same *sigh*

2:53 pm

OK, which i am I missing? I have: in5 10 in4 7 in5 10 io4 4

2:53 pm

Cheers Dr God. My broswer is indeed breathing more easily now :)

2:53 pm

Boysaway - in4/4 :)

2:55 pm

I need one last E word to finish, anyone have any hints for the 5 letter one?

2:55 pm

Sherb, thanx so much, it's always the easy ones, isn't it!

2:55 pm

am getting this msg .... Error. Babble couldn't connect to the chat log. (404)

2:56 pm

me too

2:56 pm

me too :(

2:56 pm

you have finished a meal

2:56 pm

boysaway ... in 4/4

2:56 pm

AEuser- have you _____? i'm getting hungry.

2:56 pm

AEuser, just finished mine

2:57 pm

yeah, thank you!

2:58 pm

me too. just hit refresh.

2:59 pm

all the lovely little icons have gone. And I know I put in5/10 earlier, but now it had disappeeared. Oh dear - Babble poorly today..

2:59 pm

exactly how long is "NAN hours" ? lol

2:59 pm

ahh, got the icons back. And NAN time back to normal!

3:01 pm

OH help please, this is driving me nuts!! Any clues for the ha 4/14 and ha 5/30 pleeease? They are the only two I have left and I've never finished a puzzle, or even come close. Have pity!

3:01 pm

still have nan hours and back to downloading icons over and over :( the list is growing dr_god

3:02 pm

Sorry about the glitches. I decided to wipe out all the files on the server and upload fresh copies, just to see if there were any gremlins hiding about. And refreshing on IE 6 does seem much quicker now, and it seems to only download each icon once.

3:02 pm

boysaway - someone who has been to mecca on pilgrimage. and the plural.

3:03 pm

use the values of the letters as clues to the whole word....

3:03 pm

Hmmmm. I spoke too soon. IE blows... :\

3:03 pm

if i click refresh .... i get to wait for 500 plus items to download .... icons :(

3:04 pm

Babbler, I love you!

3:04 pm

yehIknow !!

3:05 pm

The only good thing about IE 6 is that even though it takes forever to download the icons, you can still use the rest of the site while it's downloading them.

3:05 pm

That's one of the things I love about this game- where else do you get people you've never met telling you they love you?! :)

3:06 pm

Little Britain fan, Babbler?

3:06 pm

yehIknow !! (anyone watch "Little Britain"? top show!)

3:06 pm

ooops, someone's very fast!!

3:07 pm

yeahbutnobutyeah!

3:07 pm

I can't read.

3:09 pm

Are you a married man Mr Hutton? And yet you allow yourself to be alone in a room with a rather beautiful woman?

3:09 pm

calll me Bubbllllles !

3:10 pm

Compu'er says no!

3:10 pm

cough!

3:10 pm

LOUD NOISES!!!

3:10 pm

LOL, the US Babblers will think we're mad.

3:11 pm

refreshing taking about five minutes, and keeps restarting every time a new post arrives :( ah, I'm getting nostalgic for the old days (you know, like last week) when all I did was worry about finding words :)

3:11 pm

this US babbler already thought that.... lol

3:11 pm

agzam2- San Diego...discovered in 1904 by the Germans...

3:11 pm

they'll have to get BBC America to buy Little Britain then, won't they? they're gonna love it!!! : )

5:51 pm

Krys - looking at the history of Scrabble (originally called Lexico) the values never changed from its inception... Lexico was played without a board and players scored on the basis of the lengths of the words formed. There were additional scores for words employing 'minor honours' (B, F, H, M, P, V, W, Y) and a higher additional score for major honours (J, K, Q, X, Z). Butts calculated the letter frequency and value of each letter of the alphabet by meticulously combing the front page of the New York Times. He reasoned that too many S's made the game too easy. So he reduced them to 4

5:52 pm

thanks Anj....how can I repay you LOL!!!

I hope Dr_God puts on a page limit of 50 with the rest cached. Also the automatic refresh was making my page jump every few seconds, very disconcerting. Nytol...

Just another reminder to those who just jumped on and to whom the site looks a little funky- Force refresh your browsers by holding down the "alt" or "option" key while clicking the refresh button.

7:42 pm

Need help with last J, please, have je4/11, ji4/11 & their plurals. Need last ji4 (dunno value)... TIA!

9:59 pm

That ji4 looks a lot like the other ji words.

10:01 pm

what do I do if I'm positive a word is good but it won't take it??

10:04 pm

Ji4 - looks like the plural of an alt. spelling of the other Ji4. If that makes sense.... Lexi, not to be a snot, but you could check your spelling?

10:06 pm

i have these co words... the money, the trick, the island and the shy.... any clue to the last one pls?

10:08 pm

CSA, well maybe you can help, the log said there were 3 haj words, I have 2 (the one and it's plural), but no the last one, but it is in my dictionary, but I get an oops when I put it in, any clues??

10:09 pm

Co4/6 - a very large genus of tropical marine snails ....

10:10 pm

10:49 pm

I have the LE5 - still need the CH4 and one other that I don't even know I am missing - UGH.

10:51 pm

le5 is like someone dirty-minded, but add a t in the middle. Do you have ta5 to trade?

10:54 pm

Jera - no I don't have the TA5 - I missed that one. I got the LE5 before - thanks. Need the TA5 and the CH4 to finish.

10:54 pm

10:57 pm

lexi - think bay, cove.

10:58 pm

Got the TA5 now I just need that darn CH4.

10:59 pm

Diane, sounds like what sun shines down on you

11:02 pm

Using the top ch, change the last consonant in what we are doing here...

11:02 pm

lexi - I think I have that one (it's a root) and I have the one for talk - I can't find the 3rd CY4 no matter what I try :(

11:03 pm

Care to share the ta5??

11:04 pm

Sure jera - take one of your H% and make it a T word.

11:05 pm

After the ta5, I just need the in4's & I'm outta here...

11:07 pm

Jera - just saw you CH4 clue - thanks - don't I feel like an idiot for not seeing that. Thanks for the help.

11:07 pm

Yea, thanks, Dianne! Do you have the in4's by any chance?

11:07 pm

Jera - is that the Only one you need?

11:08 pm

Jera - In4 - there was no room at the __ (make it plural

11:10 pm

the other one starts with the first three letters of the In5/10 that has to do with water - add a y at the end

11:12 pm

ok now this is confusing/ why is my word list at the very bottom of the screen unstead of beside the puzzle?

11:13 pm

Thanks, cbr1965... I had to take a break this upload lag is driving me crazy! Think I will go back to regular Babble tomorrow.

11:50 pm
