(e:theecarey) had made a point that sometimes it is not easy to now what comments have been made. I forgot to tell everyone a couple months ago when I added comments to the search box. Maybe it needs a better home. Either way it needs to be covered in the help file.
SO the point is, if you click on the search box and then click on the comments link at the top you can see the last 15 comments posted in chronological order with links back to the original journals they were posted on. You can also get there by visiting this
You can refine the search to a specific user and see more than 15 comments by using the forms provided. You can also sort by different fields by clicking on the field names.

uncutsaniflush - 09/21/05 23:14 paul, if someone is not logged in (in linux with firefox at least) an error message results:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /opt/lampp/htdocs/elmwood/elmwood/includes/headerPopUp.php:5) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/elmwood/elmwood/comments/read.php on line 17
once logged in, the search works okay in linux.
I've not tried it in osX or Windows yet.
personally, i think you should make the comments dynamic like chat. of course, i think the journal listings should also be dynamic and not sorted by user name.

Embeded Media Update Category: estrip
As suggested, I moved all the embed video and audio media to links that you can open by clicking on the corresponding audio or video link icon.
This will avoid problems with linux when playing the files and also make the page load faster on slower connections. On the the media player page that opens you can either play the embeded media or download the link to play in another program. Here are some example media files from both parties.
For both type sof media I would siggest using quicktime or realplayer. There should be some help files on setting up quicktime to play 3gp and amr by default.
These audio files are from in the "tent" the other night. The first one is mobile amr format the other is mp3.

e:strip outage Category: outage
Sorry about the inconvenience. The hosting facility had a problem that required them to reboot the (e:strip) server, it was out of my hands. We had about 4 hours of down time this morning. That was out first outage in almost a year. I hope that it stays all good, or I will have to move the site yet again.
Paul,
We are looking into this and will get back to you.
Thanks

Unsolicited Political email Category: info
Today, I received some local unsolicited political email on the site from patrickrantz@yahoo.com . I have not investigated it, but it was sent to me via the email link under my userpic. It was telling me not to vote for Byron Brown and while it does make an interesting read, I wanted to make it clear that if anyone else received one of these letters, they are not "official" (e:strip) emails.
