Welcome to my bio! I love poetry, of course, and enjoy interacting with other Soupers. I am originally from Upstate New York, travelled with the U.S. Navy and ended up in the Southern United States.


Anybody else?

Blog Posted:2/16/2019 3:03:00 PM

Sorry I haven't been on PS as much! The only way I seem to be able to connect now is with my laptop (which I am rarely on).  Is anyone else having a difficult time with using their ipad/tablet and Poetry Soup? Also I can only reply to two comments at a time then I have to get out of my poem and go back in.  Anybody else having these difficulties?  It is so frustrating!

I can only post two comments at a time, then I have to go back to the start to post the next two comments. An inconvenience, but it works. I do not try to get on PS on a laptop or my phone. There are a bunch of links that are not on anything but a computer, Kim.

Makes things difficult since we want to hold up our fellow PSers! Thanks for commenting, Jan! Hugs...Kim

I used to have the two comments issue, but I don't anymore, and I have no idea what changed or corrected it, because I'm on the same laptop ... I wish I knew what the difference was, because then I could solve this problem for you good folks. The two reply thing was very frustrating. (I'm using Firefox at present). Maybe admins can help?

Oh, yes - they sure use a ton of memory, Kim, (the ads) ... I've lost entire poems more than once because my computer crashed from some of the ads, especially with more than one tab open ... my laptop computer is not that powerful, either ... not bad, but every-so-often an animated ad will overload it. I've had a brand new laptop since fall, and still haven't taken it out of the box, lol, I resist change like a typical old fart, haha! I hope you find the answer, my friend! :-) <3

I am trying to get help from the admins and I'm sure they are doing the best they can. I feel it is the ads that make life difficult but alas...ads! :)
Date: 2/17/2019 1:08:00 PM
Kim, I have no problem connecting to poetry soup but do have the problem with the 2 comments only thing, I use my back arrow to take me back to comments page, or the poem, click the poem again and comment 2 more times, then back arrow, etc etc.. very frustrating but I must admit I am getting very quick at it! This has been going on for a while odd admin has not fixed it.

Kim, I work on a desktop computer, and I am experiencing the same problem. It is very frustrating. I find this really cuts down on my enthusiasm for making comments. Using another browser did not help either.

oh that thing with replying to comments. It does not matter if I am on laptop or computer, firefox or google, I too can make only TWO replies under a poem and then I have to go away from the poem and come back to it. That is another reason i seldom reply to comments using that feature underneath our poems. It's just too much hassle. I just go to my all comments page and respond to my comments by reading poems of fellow poets and commenting to them underneath their own poems.

I use chrome. No I haven’t tried another browser.

I have similar problems with my beat up old iPad, have to refresh between comments. I just assume the more any site is updated the less my outdated technology can keep up.
