Dr_God

Ok, folks. To celebrate a new day's puzzle, let's all force-refresh our browsers (hold down "alt" or "option" while refreshing.)

I just uploaded a few new changes. Check out the Dev Log for more info.

Hopefully the changes will speed up the site a little.

Hey, debs. How goes it? I decided I was up for another night of sleep deprivation. Most likely, elmer will be, too. It appears to be genetic. Love those stats! How about you?

12:31 am

Ellocin

I see. In that case, is there anyone out there that would be so kind as to post the stats? Please?

12:31 am

Irving

2:26 am

sprite

Nice work, GingerUK! I am dutch and was taught the british spelling, but US spelling is what we see most on TV and such... so I get confused sometimes and just enter anything that looks remotely like a word, LOL.

2:27 am

GingerUK

I'm with you Sprite... especially towards the end of the puzzle!

2:32 am

Boysaway

Any clue for the de9?

Dianne - That was enough for me to get it! Thanks :o)

d7/40

2:53 am

sfneil

5:13 am

tbear

Hey Anj.......much better this morn....ended up having a pint with Dave last night...good de-stresser

5:13 am

lola100

Anj- he was last on the bill and maybe I'd just partied too hard to all the other bands but I thought he was a bit of an anti-climax.

5:15 am

Dianne

lola100 - those are the same 3 that I have - what are we missing?

5:16 am

valeritz

lola, could i have a clue on re8/90, please..

5:24 am

lola100

Valeritz- re8/90 is the past tense of re7/64. You will do this (an be an re8/85) when you find the word as you will be happy :)

5:24 am

tbear

NO probs

5:25 am

tbear

Blaze

5:29 am

Anj

Right, i'm outta here for now. Catch y'all later :)

5:31 am

lola100

My fav has to be Depeche Mode as I was a fan for years. They were one of the first big acts to come out and I just never thought I'd get to see them. On a smaller scale, I got to see the violent femes at a lucky strike promo but they were awesome :)

5:31 am

valeritz

Jacula

My other half was on here last night completing the puzzle (not posting on message log though). He said something about Dr_God's ideas to make this more of a forum with profiles and all that. Anyone know if that's going to happen?

5:53 am

Denny

morning all - just a quick check in - is anyone still having problems with the layout?

5:55 am

cathy22w

not here, Denny

5:56 am

Denny

hmmm, not sure what to do cos when i go to the stats, they're not very clear either. tried to down load a different browser last night but it didn't go according to plan!

5:56 am

lola100

Hi Denny, been looking out for you! I fixed the problem by refreshing on the babble home page before logging in. Also wiped off babble address in my favourites and started again. Hope this helps :)

6:00 am

Denny

Thanks Lola, tried it but no joy - however, firefox has downloaded properly now so am on that! I can play properly now!

6:03 am

lola100

Good! I couldn't have played with the screen all funny like that either. Was very relieved when I managed to fix it but must say my computer is "cleaner" than it's ever been! :)

6:10 am

Denny

Well now i know it's working i feel much better - although need to figure out how to have more than one window in firefox so i cn see my dictionary at the same time rather than having to switch! any hints gratefully received!. gotta go cos lots to do happy babbling babblers!

6:15 am

Dianne

Need one more 8 - have i8, u8 and r8 x 2. What's the last one - nayone know?

6:21 am

cathy22w

cathy22w

6:28 am

Moozey

over 200 words oh pooh in pants is Dr God making up after yesterdays manageable puzzle

6:32 am

Gwen

Yep, still have everything centered. Although the format is next to impossible to read, the larger text is much easier. Firefox is a great browser, but all my mail and other bookmarks are on AOL. So, I endure.

6:33 am

cathy22w

i thought bookmarks transferred from explorer to firefox? mine did!

6:34 am

Jen

anyone else have problems with Firefox just crapping out and losing all your bookmarks? Ours has done it 4 times now!

6:37 am

lola100

Gwen- I refreshed on the babble home page before logging in and it's been fine since then.

6:50 am

EvaNadine

Hello all, hope everyone is having a good day!!

7:09 am

Jacula

Jen - Jen, yes Firefox did that to me (lost all my bookmarks) about 3 months ago. My son said I 'must have done something'. Now I know I didn't! Thanks.

7:11 am

Jen

Morning baggo! Nope, Jacula, not your fault! :)

7:12 am

Moozey

7:12 am

Readhead

7:13 am

Jen

7:13 am

EvaNadine

EvaNadine

FMitch

Tanks macadam but don't have that m yet

8:10 am

Jen

Thanks... although I don't have the s5/12 yet

8:12 am

FMitch

s5 - of definate shape or volume

8:12 am

EvaNadine

fmitch, your M is something that you pour something into to make it take shape

8:12 am

Jen

yee haw, thanks... that also leads to another 5/12 if you mix up 2 of the middle letters.

8:15 am

Moozey

8:21 am

EvaNadine

any hints on the D9?

8:21 am

Moozey

I'm working on the D9 myself :o)

8:21 am

baggo

ok, i keep seeing nimrod, which is what i feel like..8D

8:22 am

baggo

think of a way you can buy a pop and put a prefix on it, it's a measurement

8:22 am

GingerUK

EvaNadine and Moozey... think weights and measures with the US spelling.

8:22 am

Cathy

Moozey -- On the u8 -- if it's not cut, it's ...

8:22 am

baggo

think of 10 pops.....

8:23 am

baggo

or should i say "soda" depending on where you are from

8:23 am

carolecs

lola 100, ed/4 5 and ed 5 16, don't know the other one yet

Good morning, all!

8:28 am

Moozey

thanks Cathy

8:29 am

Judi

Morning all. Can't say I'm wild about this new chat layout. Seems harder to read to me.

8:29 am

EvaNadine

crikey, i am *SO* not seeing the D9...i think i have the right prefix, its just the rest thats not coming to me

8:30 am

ubgrud

Does anyone have a hint for the F?

8:30 am

EvaNadine

nevermind, i found it...just never heard it put together before...hehe

8:31 am

Jax

ub- it means nimble, but makes me think of Tinkerbell

8:31 am

carolecs

evandine, think 10 followed by US liquid

8:31 am

GingerUK

EvaNadine.... prefix for 10 and US spelling of just over 2 pints

8:35 am

macadam

Hi ubgrud,think tinkerbell.

8:36 am

Moozey

I thought just over two pints in US was a quart :o( I'll struggle on, it is going to be one of those slap forehead moments, I can tell

8:36 am

Anj

Howdedoodleydoo! :)

8:37 am

Babbler

moozey - we don't buy pints of milk anymore, we buy.....

8:37 am

FMitch

Hey Anj!

8:38 am

baggo

moozey, you don't buy cans of soft drinks you can buy 2.....

8:38 am

Jen

think bottles of soda pop, not cans...

8:39 am

carolecs

if its not cut its UNCUT aaagh!!!

8:39 am

jaydee

anymore clues for the U8, still having trouble finding it

8:39 am

dwroehl

why doesn't "tierod(s)" work?

8:40 am

Anj

Hi Fmitch :) How is today's beastie? I've been away for a few hours and it still looks nasty :(

8:40 am

carolecs

got it its as in bread, i was thinking more on the lines of cloth

8:40 am

Jen

U8... the greatest thing since.... bread. Before that, it was U8.

8:40 am

baggo

you use a "..." of bread to make a sandwich

8:41 am

Moozey

I'm feeling pretty embarrassed just about now lol

8:41 am

Babbler

oh luv!! : D

8:42 am

jaydee

u8..... thanks v much, feeling stupid !

8:43 am

Minski

That's odd. The U8 is a word but minus the last letter it isn't a word. I would have thought it would accept both.

8:45 am

jrs

I've been out sick for a couple of days, so I'm just now seeing the changes to the site. On the whole, they're great, but I'm not such a fan of limiting the chat log to the most recent 50 entries - for those of us who log in later in the day, we can't see the word list, nor can we take advantage of the earlier clues. Is there any way to access the older portion of the log?

8:46 am

EvaNadine

Minski -- without the last letter, its not really pissible, is it? thats not the kinda thing you can go back and undo...hehe

8:46 am

Minski

click on show last 50 messages

8:46 am

Doogle

I think "un" words, at least in a verb form" are only valid for actions that can actually be undone.

8:46 am

Moozey

jrs - you can see the whole log if you change to show all chat in the dark green line under the word Chat Log

8:46 am

EvaNadine

jrs -- its defaulted to only show the last 50 messages, but you can click "show all messages"

8:47 am

Minski

yeah...........yeah......details.............details.....

8:48 am

Jen

hints on the ti7/40 anyone? I'm not seeing it.

8:50 am

MadXSer

Can anyone please give me a hint as to the last 8 letter that I am missing. So far I have I, R x 2 and U.

8:50 am

Judi

Sorry, Dr. God. With all due respect to your brilliance, I do NOT like this layout of Babble. Much preferred previous set-up. Also, I have not option to "show all chat".

8:50 am

Gwen

No matter what I do, I just can't get Babble to get uncentered in AOL. Tried rebooting, refresh, log-in, clear cache, refresh. Gonna go back to playbabble and see if it works better than beta. That grid was a doozie today!

8:51 am

Anj

Gwen, i'm roadtesting mozilla firefox at the mo and it's running really smoothly :)

8:51 am

FMitch

Gwen there is only one site now regardless of which url you enter

8:52 am

Babbler

I adore Firefox. best one around.

8:52 am

Gwen

MadX, missing the D/8

8:52 am

Jen

Got it... I hate it when things have no definition!! >:)

8:52 am

jrs

Thanks, everyone!

8:52 am

Minski

Yesterday someone else was having troubles with AOL. I think their solution was to run babble in internet explorer without using AOL.

8:53 am

Moozey

Judi you can see all messages look at the dark green line that has Last Refreshed on it, there is an option to look at all meessages or last 50 messages you need to click on all messages

8:53 am

MadXSer

Thanks Gwen!

8:53 am

bfdeele

Jen:
For ti 7/40 - Third position from which a parry or thrust can be made in fencing.

8:54 am

Judi

Thanks for the tip, Moozey, but I'm not seeing that option on my last refreshed green line.

8:54 am

Moozey

oh heck there is a D8??? I've only just found the D9 haha

8:55 am

Minski

Could I please have a clue for the Ei 7/40?

8:55 am

bfdeele

oops!
Forgot to include Google the definition and it's the third or fourth one down

8:55 am

Gwen

Babble works perfect on Mozilla Firefox. But I actually WORK within AOL and have to have access to my e-mail through them. The new format SUCKS on AOL.

8:55 am

Moozey

Judi - how bizarre I can see it, it is to the right of the words Last refreshed

8:56 am

Judi

Oops, I take that back, Moozey. I see it now. You actually have to put your mouse arrow over the end of the green line to see it.

8:56 am

Gwen

Judi, the message is hidden until you run your cursor over it.

8:57 am

Dr God, I put in the word more, it accepted it, but it is not showing up in the word list to the right.

11:13 am

mtnjock

I had to do a shift reload to get it to show (I even added words since to see if the list would auto correct)

11:14 am

Dr_God

mtnjock-

Refresh your browser and it will appear. Let me know if it keeps happening though.

11:14 am

SHPANK

Dr_God

11:21 am

Jacula

Dr_God. I've found the page I tore from the UK Mail On Sunday magazine. Will have to scan it and send it to you if you let me know where to.

11:22 am

Dr_God

Jacula-

Excellent! You can send it to feedback(at)playbabble.com

11:22 am

FMitch

Jacula, I came here from that page too - rue the day I tore it out LOL

11:22 am

Denny

...and me

11:23 am

Jacula

FMitch - I think we all do (or at least our loved ones do). LOL.

11:23 am

Boysaway

Me too

11:23 am

EvaNadine

heh, i was just referred by a friend...

11:23 am

Jacula

Okay, Dr_God. Will do a bit later. Probably have to be in 2 halves to fit on scanner.

11:24 am

EvaNadine

ooh, maybe thats another idea....some kinda referral reward system...course, since the pro babble fee is so low, and one-time-only, i dunno what the reward would be....hehe

11:24 am

baggo

wish mine was from a paper, mine was from my brother, who said it was a way to wind down after work. both of us being nurses this does help after a rough day...bless you oh omnipotent surgeon...;)

11:24 am

Jacula

It's the UK Babblers' Anon Club. :-)))

11:24 am

Denny

i've spent the day cleaning the house so that when my husband comes home for the weekend tonight, he won't think i've spent all week playing!

11:24 am

Jera

I got hooked from the Mediadomain message board. Addicts are the best pushers.

11:24 am

FMitch

I gave up smoking a while ago but can I give this up, oh noooooo

11:25 am

FMitch

what a bunch we are :)

11:25 am

baggo

i keep seeing the need help with stats line and think it should say need help with words as these last ones today, for some reason are killing me...

11:26 am

Jacula

That's funny, FMitch, because a couple of days ago I was wondering if I could use Babble as a method of giving up smoking. You know, have 10 mins of Babble instead of a cigarette.

11:26 am

EvaNadine

haha jacula....there is no just 10 minutes of babble!!

11:27 am

Dr_God

Now there's a good testimonial:

"I used Babble to quit smoking."

11:27 am

baggo

jacula, can you just stay 10 minutes???

11:27 am

FMitch

I was 40 a day but did it with patches (NHS campaign), babble could work - so compulsive you forget everything else!

11:28 am

baggo

dr god, my husband does thank you cause he no longer has to get the stats for me before he goes to work in the morning...:)

11:28 am

Bobsta

thank you for the repost evanadine another B****y customer so i've just seen it. right, i can sell something later lets get back to the serious stuff.

11:28 am

EvaNadine

heh, trade one addiction for another!

11:29 am

GingerUK

bobsta... where are you based?

11:29 am

baggo

good for you fmitch!!

11:29 am

Bobsta

gingerUk: Croydon during the day and Plaistow at night. Why's that matey?

11:29 am

FMitch

cheers Baggo

11:30 am

Jacula

No, can't stay just 10 mins. I think I must have an addictive personality.:-(

11:31 am

FMitch

gotta go all - going out into the real world shortly, "sigh" have a good evening and see you soon :)

11:32 am

baggo

have a good night fmitch!!!

11:33 am

GingerUK

just wondered!! My daughter lives in Croydon though she insists it's addiscome) and I don't live far from it!

11:34 am

Bobsta

you should pop in, its the very high end audio/video store on wellesley rd.

11:35 am

broll

Dr_God: I can see the "show all messages" on the green bar, but nothing happens when I click it (no more than 50 messages). Does it work only for pro babblers?

11:36 am

Anj

Bobsta, by high end do you mean you have amps the size of a matchbox that sound like Motorhead's back lline? :)

11:37 am

Bobsta

something like that except the amps are built into the speakers themselves and they're about the size of 3 matchboxes

11:38 am

boober

Dr_God the improvements are great. I work in a psychiatric hospital and playing Babble helps keep me sane. Everyone there knows not to ask me anything until I have my puzzle run off. Love this game.

11:39 am

Bobsta

thats it, i'm closing up. going to the dogs for the first time tonight. chat to you all tomorrow guys

11:39 am

Denny

11:40 am

Denny

sorry dr god didn't realise you had done that!

11:40 am

Denny

can we go back to having the 50 messages too?

11:43 am

Anj

Food break. Dont know about anyone else but i've lost about 5lbs since I started playing this game :) Maybe we should market this as the Babblekins Diet lol :D

11:44 am

baggo

Everyone have a great weekend, i'm off to pack and leave for michigan....bye

11:45 am

Dr_God

Oops! My bad. I left the chat log limit at 3 instead of 50. Refresh your browsers to set it back to 50.

11:46 am

Denny

ok i'm looking for the other tu4/4 the one that isn't poo!

11:47 am

baggo

the one that you do to see it in the toilet?

11:47 am

Dr_God

Is anyone else having the same problem with the "Show all messages" link as broll is?

11:47 am

Denny

got that too are there 2 tu4/4's?

11:47 am

baggo

or the tu4/ that is the large cask for liquid especially wine???

11:48 am

baggo

11:49 am

Denny

11:50 am

agzam2

i have noticed that after a certain amount of time ... it will revert to the default and i will have to click "show all messages" again

11:51 am

Dr_God

agzam2-

Do all the messages show up when you click the link though?

11:53 am

agzam2

yes they do .... the first msg of the day is at 12:03 a.m. .... plus i can see the scroll bar (on the right side of my window) get a lot smaller :p

11:58 am

Denny

12:09 pm

Denny

dwroehl - eh? there's lots but none I can see beginning with ti?!

12:11 pm

dwroehl

its an accent mark - most people dont know the proper name...

12:11 pm

Boysaway

it's a spanish wiggly line that goes over an n, I think

12:12 pm

Boysaway

Or might be below a c, lol!

12:13 pm

Boysaway

No,definitely over an n as in manana

12:13 pm

harv

12:19 pm

Jera

Sorry, I didn't see a value distinction. Didn't mean to confuse!

12:20 pm

mtnjock

I got the toilet one easy... dealing with one from softball today...LOL

12:20 pm

Boysaway

Judi, the beginning often refers to fluid compatability, the end sounds like the Elephant Man's surname

12:24 pm

mtnjock

wow just got the de9 by accident

12:24 pm

Judi

Boysaway - thanks muchly. Like I don't have enough problems with this puzzle, I have to REMEMBER THE ELEPHANT MAN'S LAST NAME too??!! :-)) The weird part is, I knew it.

un8. In days gone by, all bread came this way.

2:30 pm

mtnjock

Lola, the Es, Os and Rs have really scrambled what's left of my brain today. Similar options in different places. I'm developing eyes like a chameleon lol

3:41 pm

lola100

Anj- this one has been hard work from the start :(

3:41 pm

Blaze

Lola I know the feeling... I am sure that I could not use most of the words I have learned in a sentence for a word of the day challenge LOL

3:42 pm

lola100

Blaze- be warned: if you do start using them someone may have you put away in a nice comfy room where the walls are soft!

3:43 pm

Anj

Blaze, practise saying 'wibble' now while you have a choice :)

3:43 pm

3:48 pm

I've tried doric about 15 times but have now realised that I'm not going totrick it into accepting the word. I'm also seeing dulcimer and dulcet all the time. It gets hard to see past them.

4:13 pm

CATHB

snowy - i am going back to my sodit and giving up now.

4:14 pm

torgone

It would be cool to be able to rotate the grid - might give a different perspective...

2. Botany. Having flower parts, such as petals, sepals, and stamens, in sets of two.

7:03 pm

Mozzey, the di8 follows on from di7 - both of them mean 2 identical bits (7 is molecules, 8 is insect bodies)
Think lots of 10 cent coins... :)

SunnFlower

9letter is a us spelling of a volume

Just discovered this game, but wondering if I need to pay the $ to join and get the clues?

You can get clues off the chat without joining - but to get the letter grid, you have to pay $9.95 lifetime fee (I think)

Patact welcome to this great puzzler..... I think it is the pro-babble that requires $... The chat log is great for getting clues etc..... Is someone more knowledgible awake out there to better answer this... Or you can email Dr_God the icon on the right lower part of your web page
