12:11 am

12:11 am

kristinc

here here :)
hi Dianne!

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

oh helen, i was like, manly is not in the puzzle

12:12 am

helenkeller

LOL leslie

12:12 am

pwinn

Was it just me, or did the site go down yesterday?

12:12 am

helenkeller

could've been my typing or your eyes, this time it was your eyes, :)

12:12 am

KittyVane

Morning everyone!

12:13 am

libarebel

I still find that there is a lag when changing cursor position from chat to answer box-- the chat log refreshes and sometimes has misplaced my cursor (I think) :-O

12:13 am

Dippnall

morning kitty!

12:13 am

mtnjock

is that like what santa brings on christmas or you get on your b'day? gi**

12:13 am

kristinc

hiya kitty!

12:14 am

sprite

I hope you all realised that the site is perfect and not to blame for anything at all! Bugs, faulty cursor positions and downtime, we just must get used to it. Or so I am told!

12:14 am

jillibus

yes, pwinn, the site went down and we wonder why

12:14 am

pwinn

Ah, just so long as it wasn't just me!

12:15 am

KittyVane

I've had no problems with the site... as long as I keep on an eye on where I type what

12:15 am

pwinn

I was a bit bummed about having stayed up really late to get a head start, and then not being able to pick it back up and finish. But not so bummed that I won't do it again!

12:15 am

kristinc

agreed sprite, I get more used to it each day...still a big change though :)

12:16 am

libarebel

I think maybe that babble has become so popular that the website had too much traffic-- server(s) overloaded...

12:16 am

libarebel

I think maybe that babble has become so popular that the website had too much traffic-- server(s) overloaded...

12:16 am

sprite

Actually, that is not MY opinion. My opinion is that there should be made some changes to the site, but I was told of for suggesting it.

12:17 am

LeslieAnn

by who, sprite?

12:17 am

pwinn

What changes, Sprite?

12:17 am

kristinc

no telling off here :( (sorry that happened to you though)

12:18 am

helenkeller

i suggested to dr-g the idea of private chat, like on some game sites - sadly, i was shot down

12:19 am

Uncagain

what would be nice, is if u could just hit the enter key instead of having to click on the add button

12:19 am

sprite

I think the cursor should jump back to the Add Word box automatically after posting a word. Seeing how often a word is posted in the log by accident. I mailed drG telling him almost all of us do it from time to time. I was told that was very untrue and less than 1% of the people playing babble actually did that.

12:20 am

sprite

Uncagain: that works fine for me. Type word, enter, and it is added.

12:20 am

helenkeller

enter works for me too!

12:20 am

sprite

*After posting a word should read: after posting a message in the log, LOL.

12:20 am

Uncagain

would seem to make it simpler

12:20 am

pwinn

If nothing else, a word typed here in chat by itself that belongs in the grid might be auto-moved over. I hear you.

12:20 am

LeslieAnn

hmmm, someone asked the other day in the log how to turn it off b/c they hated how so many words ended up in the log

12:21 am

helenkeller

it would be nice to mouse over the letters, instead of typing them in - for those of us who are especially lazy & i AM raising my hand

12:21 am

pwinn

You can switch to the "My Friends" tab, which should "turn it off"

12:21 am

kristinc

sounds like a reasonable idea to me sprite...I know very little about web development...maybe that was just to complex? (it does seem to happen pretty often...1% huh?!?) I hear you too

12:21 am

ilandrah

i totally agree helen

12:21 am

LeslieAnn

that's what i suggested to them, just trying to add to sprite's point that it does happen a bit

12:22 am

libarebel

hmmm... ometimes the enter key doesn't work, I then click ad &crash-- also note typing-- happens when log refreshes itself...

12:22 am

kristinc

There are things I really like about the new site though (the enter system is not one of them...ask others who played with me earlier tonight)

12:22 am

libarebel

Aye! Helen :-D

12:22 am

LeslieAnn

but on a different subject, how is glam not a word?

12:23 am

kristinc

oh well...I have no doubt I couldn't develop anything as fun and enjoyeable, even with some of the quirks...still a fantastic game :)

12:23 am

sprite

Yes, I am pretty sure I am not the only one who hates all the words ending up in the log. But it was not discussable.
As someone who supported this site from day one, I do not like that one bit. I asked a friend of mine who builds websites professionaly, he told me it is a minor change. Not hard at all.

12:23 am

kristinc

I tried that one to Leslie

12:23 am

helenkeller

glam rock - t. rex - there ya go - it's a word fer sure!

12:23 am

kristinc

too

12:23 am

mtnjock

but its cousin is, change the vowel

12:24 am

LeslieAnn

yeah but it's not as fun as glam ;)

12:24 am

pwinn

I guess it's an abbrev. that hasn't made it into the dict yet, LA

12:24 am

helenkeller

tx mtn - & that would be what? disco music? :)

12:25 am

LeslieAnn

nah, i think that's the family black sheep, helen ;)

12:25 am

mtnjock

source of light from a candle... it gl**mers

12:25 am

sprite

Well, I can explain "less than 1 %". Of the people playing babble. No telling which part of us people chatting on a regular base that is of course.

12:26 am

pwinn

Yeah, there are 133 playing right now. most not chatting.

12:26 am

pwinn

Er, 137

12:26 am

helenkeller

yes - it gl**mers like a disco ball

12:26 am

mtnjock

They fear the babblefish being brought back....

12:27 am

sprite

I am gonna feed my kids their breakfast. Back later.

12:27 am

kristinc

I'm chatting so much I'm not finding words :) (so I'm not ignoring anyone at this point...just trying to speed through before bed)

12:27 am

LeslieAnn

pwinn

12:28 am

knutmeg

12:28 am

kristinc

12:29 am

pwinn

Need another vowel for that, knutmeg

12:29 am

LeslieAnn

12:29 am

libarebel

3:47 am

scatty

kitty, are they cute

3:48 am

Haz1558

Apparently, as well as meaning to give birth to a calf, to ca5/18 can also refer to pieces separating from an iceberg or glacier. You live and learn.

3:49 am

Haz1558

The other ca5 is plural of the name of Abel's brother.

3:49 am

FMitch

it's a babble education!

3:49 am

Frances

It means to break off an edge of an iceberg or glacier

3:51 am

Haz1558

Good morning Preethi - are you well?

3:51 am

Frances

Haz1558/scatty
Don't you just love all this new knowledge? And it keeps the cogs turning..........I refuse to give in to old age!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Quite right, Frances!

Haz1558

Pious - devout or religious.

3:54 am

Frances

KittyVane/minapina

3:55 am

FMitch

Thanks for that Kitty hadn't spotted that and it finished the p's for me.

FranMag

bex, it's pentecost day

4:34 am

Frances

Jacula
I love your kitties sharing a soak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:35 am

Jacula

Bex - The theme today is Pentecost but I decided to go with my kitties in the sink icon. I was going to show you all my new hairdo but don't know where Paul's 'hidden' the pics on the computer.

4:35 am

hydra

Yes, they're gorgeous. Did they climb in the basin themselves?

4:36 am

FMitch

Morning Jac, how did it go at the hairdressers yesterday, are you pleased?

4:36 am

Jacula

Kitties do look sweet. Not either of my cats, who both detest water (except for 'hunting cat', who has been known to climb into the sink to try to lick up tinned salmon juice even after sink's been rinsed). It's a pic I found on the Net a while ago.

4:37 am

hydra

I had one who used to wait for the loo to be flushed then rush in and lap the water trickling into the bowl. He preferred that to his own water dish,

4:38 am

Jacula

FMitch - Yes, I'm very pleased with the new hairdo. Thing is, to maintain it, I need a pair of 'GHD' hair straighteners. My daughter has a pair but is in the process of leaving home. I've told her she can't go now!

4:38 am

FMitch

good excuse to keep her at home ;)

4:39 am

Jacula

FMitch - If only I could! *Tear drops onto message log.*

4:40 am

FMitch

ahhh there, there Jacs, no more tears or you will fuse the log.

4:41 am

Jacula

*Wipe eyes and blows nose loudly on tissue.*

4:42 am

Jacula

Well, I've steamed away and found 82 words in about 35 mins. Am beginning to grind to a halt now...

4:45 am

Jacula

Hi Sha - It means 'friend of the court' but sounds more like what an Italian or a Mexican might shout whilst standing on a chair when a small rodent is in the room, 'EEK! Am***!' LOL

4:45 am

Cat9x

amici

4:45 am

Cat9x

5:03 am

FranMag

is that a real sign bex?

5:03 am

bex777

yea think so :)

5:05 am

mattygroves

What's today's grid like, folks?!

5:05 am

bex777

ok found a amzing one gonna have this one for a while

5:05 am

Frances

If we're doing road signs......check this one....and yes, it is real!

5:05 am

Atalante

OMG! lmao!

5:05 am

bex777

lol!!!! :)

5:06 am

FranMag

love those all!

5:06 am

Haz1558

The signs are really funny! That poor bear!

5:06 am

Jacula

Frances - I saw that sign when I was out on the road with my lorry-driving o/h. It tickled me, too.

5:06 am

Jacula

Didn't have a camera with me at the time.

5:07 am

Frances

You couldn't make it up

5:07 am

bex777

i think we should ask babbler to have a funny road signs icon day

5:07 am

amandacath

grrr - even refreshed to see your signs, but the profiles didn't change. Care to enlighten me, bex and Frances?

5:07 am

Jacula

Good idea, bex.

5:07 am

Atalante

it is a real secret bunker, or a real ex-secret bunker that's now open for visitors?

5:07 am

Jacula

Amanda - I can't see bex's new sign either.

5:07 am

FranMag

i was just going to suggest that bex!

5:07 am

Frances

Mine is directing you to 'The Secret Nuclear Bunker'

5:08 am

bex777

mine is a polar sliding down a hill next to a sign saying watch for ice

5:08 am

Atalante

refresh in the profile page itself

5:08 am

FMitch

amanda click on the icon and see what happens

5:08 am

Frances

Atalante
The latter

5:09 am

Jacula

Paul was out yesterday in his truck when he saw a sign outside a place that read 'Plants for Sale'. Thing was, it was right next to a piece of wasteground covered with huge weeds.

5:09 am

amandacath

nope, tried - it's really bizarre. New icons never show up without refreshing, but sometimes they change without refreshing in the profiles, sometimes they don't. Haven't figured out a pattern yet...

5:10 am

Jacula

I've got Bex's new pic now. :D

5:10 am

bex777

i was on holiday once and when you go to restaurant and they ahve the menus outside in a glass case ell on the botom of the menus it said please trun over!

5:10 am

FranMag

amanda, it has to do with caching, both on your computer and on your ISPs servers

5:10 am

Jacula

LOL, Bex.

5:10 am

FranMag

if you clear your caches, that might help

5:12 am

amandacath

good one Fran! that worked. Love the bear, bex!

5:13 am

Eva

good morning everyone. 89 pretty easily and now came to a stop. wish I could read some of those signs, but they are too small for me

5:13 am

Cat9x

Good morning Eva

5:13 am

Jacula

Eva - If you click on the profiles, the pics will get bigger. Morning, btw.

5:13 am

FranMag

even in the profiles Eva?

5:13 am

Frances

Eva
Click on the icon. It will bring up the profile with a larger image

5:13 am

amandacath

Mornin', Eva!

5:13 am

minapina

5:15 am

Eva

5:16 am

Atalante

I would love to live in Lost (and on 111)

5:16 am

bex777

i like the sign posts in shrek 2. 300 miles to far far away!! i would like to go there

5:17 am

Atalante

5:17 am

Jacula

I'm at 98, still no list. Want to get to 100 and then feed cats etc.

5:18 am

mattygroves

OK - mine's a real sign, shows how textspeak takes over the world

5:19 am

Jacula

Matty - I can't even translate that 2nd 'word'. LOL

5:19 am

Frances

mattygroves
Guess that one must be in Scotland

5:19 am

Atalante

oh my!

5:19 am

Eva

matty-what does the sign mean?!

5:19 am

Atalante

something minster?

5:20 am

Atalante

Stenhousemuir!

5:20 am

FranMag

if that's an abbreviation it's not a very good one!

5:20 am

Frances

Is it Stenhousemuir (my spelling)

5:20 am

Jacula

Frances - I just guessed that as you typed it.

5:21 am

amandacath

I wouldn't know how to pronounce it even with the vowels! Phonetically, anyone?

5:21 am

Frances

It just seemed to me that if you'd heard of the place it became obvious

5:22 am

Frances

sten house muir

5:22 am

Atalante

it is pretty phonetic isn't it? I think. sten - house - mew - r

5:22 am

Jacula

Sten...house...mewer.

5:22 am

Serenity Gide

Any clues for the first 2 fi ? I need fi4/10 and fi5/24

5:23 am

FranMag

getting sleepy, found 102 and going for the list now

5:23 am

mattygroves

It is - stenhousemuir. I used it in a review of grammar!

5:24 am

amandacath

You're kidding! I thought it would be something along the lines of Stennismere, or Stansmer - I was embarrassingly old before I learned how Grosvener and Worcester were prononced

5:25 am

bex777

ok im having bother here any one know what para-military means?

5:26 am

Haz1558

Paramilitary groups are organised along the lines of the army but are illegal.

5:26 am

bex777

6:20 am

jakes-mum

ok amandacath, first part is the beginning of another word for the mob, second part is beginning of word when you feel exhausted

6:20 am

FranMag

amandacath, take first 3 letters of the 5/20 and add first 3 letters of what cars rest on

6:20 am

amandacath

6:20 am

jakes-mum

6:27 am

jakes-mum

Serenity, take the first three letters of all the other PI4/5's and add first letter, then pluralise for the 5/12

6:27 am

amandacath

serenity - colada didn't help? How 'bout sort of like an evergreen

10:30 am

10:35 am

CJ25

Ac5 clue?

10:35 am

lodestar

I have a question: Is it no longer possible to close the chat log? I know I could in the last version of Babble.

10:36 am

CJ25

top right lode speech bubble

10:37 am

wildmillie

ac + opposite of out + opposite of you

10:37 am

Haz1558

ac5 - add a two letter preposition referring to containment, then repeat the vowel. It looks like a Spanish or Italian word

10:37 am

CJ25

thanks got it

10:38 am

lodestar

Am I being dense? The top right bubble lets me view the entire chat log. I want to close it altogether so I don't get the blinking effect each time someone posts. I do that, but the log on the main page is still open.

10:39 am

jrh402s

The square does.. the bubble should close the log.

10:39 am

CJ25

there are two on the top right one is to chow and hide the other is to show all

10:39 am

Atalante

nope - that just hides the input field

10:40 am

CJ25

oh well then no then

10:40 am

lodestar

It doesn't close it for me. It only closes the input field temporarily, too.

10:40 am

jrh402s

Hmm.. I've obviously never used it. Maybe clicking over to show "My Friends?"

10:42 am

lodestar

That is a solution, jrh. Thanks.

10:43 am

jrh402s

glad to be of help

10:43 am

lodestar

fits

10:44 am

Frances

Why not minimise your screen and then drag the border in so that it hides the log. You can then hide or show whatever you want.

10:44 am

Frances

I mean minimise your page

10:44 am

jbp

al 5 anyone?

10:45 am

mari

Help please - last one - am5/14 - down to the first knuckle monkey typing!!

10:45 am

Frances

jbp

10:46 am

hetty

There are 2 fr's and I'm darned if I can find the second(have the French for "fried)

10:46 am

wildmillie

am 5/14 latin plural for friends

10:46 am

harpjane

hello. the second icon on the right shows/hides the chat FIELD not the LOG. I don't think there's a way to hide the log anymore.

10:46 am

Frances

hetty
f plus oil r** (platform)

10:46 am

jbp

fr... one is a bowdlerized version of the f-curse owrd.

10:46 am

parsec

hetty, if the second can be a stand-in for a very bad word.

10:46 am

Atalante

change the last letter hetty

10:47 am

jrh402s

harp - click on the "my friends" - if you don't have any friends, nothing loads!

10:47 am

jbp

one is kind of like the part of a guitar neck

10:47 am

Atalante

is the i5 an obvious word? am I going to slap myself with a fish when I eventually find it?

10:47 am

mari

jbp thanks a million - we can now eat!!!!

10:47 am

jbp

lol jrh

10:47 am

jbp

atalante, it's not obfious to me

10:47 am

jbp

obvious, i mean

10:47 am

harpjane

I think that's the way for lodestar to solve the problem

10:48 am

jbp

yw mari

10:48 am

Atalante

oh good - I dont feel quite so dumb then!

10:48 am

parsec

10:48 am

jbp

and frans

10:48 am

lodestar

I don't think so either harpjane, thanks.

10:49 am

hetty

lodestar, what I do onc I've opened the chatlog for the day is minimize it--refer to it from time to time when stumped and minimize again. so I don't keep forever scrolling

10:49 am

jbp

atalante, apparently, i annoyed some folks earlier by asking stuff...

10:50 am

Atalante

I'm using being ill as an excuse for being pathetic and not getting words!

10:50 am

Anniebrook

why jbp, arent we here to ask and tell?

10:50 am

jbp

i thought so.

10:50 am

jbp

are you ill Atlante???

10:51 am

abe79

atalante, do you need the i 5?

10:51 am

Atalante

I think thats silly being annoyedby asking for help. If people don't want to help, then they don't have to, but people shouldn't stop asking!

10:51 am

hetty

Thanks all. How my education is improvinbg I had heard that word (as a present partcipial substitution for the other "f" word) but it certanlt doesn't exist in my dictionary. Well well

Haz1558

fi5/24 refers to a fraction, fi6/27 refers to a decorative detail on furniture etc.

11:03 am

jbp

11:04 am

11:13 am

jonc3122

hey

11:13 am

phandmd

the fi 5 before it is an ordinal number

11:13 am

Haz1558

The first fi6/27 is the ornament one - A word meaning last or end, and put the first vowel in just before the end

11:14 am

phandmd

for the fi 6 you actually had typed part of the word in the log earlier you needed to add mr. gore's 1st name to it

11:14 am

Munner

my phantom words are filch and filth

11:14 am

Haz1558

There are two s6 words

11:59 am

Haz1558

And just one m6 word

12:00 pm

Haz1558

emsung - there is no ti5/14 - perhaps you are looking for ti5/12? Add what dieters count.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Or at least the beginning of the word.

12:00 pm

emusing

yes you're right!

12:01 pm

emusing

calories?

12:03 pm

emusing

is it a normal or weird word?

12:04 pm

Haz1558

It's not a word I have ever used. ti5/12 is formed by adding the first part of the dieter counting word. It means a type of coin.

12:22 pm

harpjane

12:23 pm

tndaisy1960

I meant, why do you want one? I guess it's like you said...the devil you know....and I'm scared of the one I don't.

12:23 pm

leighprefect

I want a new laptop....trying to decide. Currently looking at a Dell. Pondering the Mac, cuz I've always heard good stuff...plus those new commercials make me giggle.

12:24 pm

tndaisy1960

Dell computers are really cool...but their customer service sux like a vacum cleaner in high gear, trust me. I'm tethered to a technician.

12:24 pm

leighprefect

Customer service is great, as long as you're still under warranty.
