@orenwolf can try the “rebake” option on the post via the wrench icon to see if it fixes.

So does this one… https://boingboing.net/2022/08/21/watch-the-extraction-process-of-the-most-profound-psychedelic.html

Is it possible to ask for a topic to be reopened?

Because I’ve got some links for the Neurodiversity topic, but I let it lapse.

I went ahead and reopened it. Topics need to be posted in every 30 days to stay open.

Thank you so so so much.

I knew about the 30 day thing… it’s just that executive dysfunction and spoon supply failures and is it just me talking in here? oh god it’s just me talking in here everyone’s sick of me talking and it’s always the same story and jesus it’s so depressing and nothing changes and oops it’s been thirty days oh well.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I forgot we had that thread. In fact, there have been a couple of good pieces recently that I could have put in there if only I hadn’t been so scatterbrained about it.

Please don’t feel bad about continuing the topic.

Is there more we can do to fix/prevent CCBOD? It’s been especially bad lately. I’d say only 60% of comment links from the story are working for me for the last couple of weeks. Popkin’s never work, Devin is about 50/50, and now even a Beschizza has failed me.

We may not be able to fix this. I was hoping to troubleshoot it further but it’s clearly annoying quite a few of you in the interim! If I’m not able to correct it in the next few days, I will change that comment link to instead point to the root of bbs.boingboing.net instead.

Thanks for your patience.

What does the Blue like-counter mean?

So the BB BBS app icon changed a few days ago, it’s no longer round. Well it’s round but now it has a white border. It annoys me looking at my home screen.

I figured I’d try reinstalling the app but I can’t find it on Google Play.

Where’d it go?

There’s an app?

That looks an awful lot like you saved a browser shortcut to your home screen.

Example of me doing that:

There’s always an app.

At least for Android. I don’t know about iOS.

No there isn’t.

That’s what I use via Brave. It comes in handy because I can block scripts and read people’s linked WaPo and NY Times stories.

@tcg550, my browser shortcut is currently round-ish.

@anon36155390 and @Jesse13927, I don’t see an Android app either.

The app is Discourse. BoingBoing is a channel on Discourse.
