New Site Comments and Questions
Follow seems like a useful feature, so I'd urge all of you to resave your profiles.
I still don't grok End Blockquote. All it seems to do is undo Begin Blockquote.
Is there any way to scroll through all the Cafe posts, as we used to do?
Navigating to older posts seem to bring back the old TPM toolbars. I found this when testing a link to the Depression 2.0 post, which isn't that old.
Can I turn other posters into newts?
More after the jump.
Both image commands yield a No Assets Could Be Found error

Hm. Now I can't access my dash, my profile, or log out. Fascinating day around here.

Same here.
Can't comment on a post from Sunday -- the "SEND" button does nothing. There is no "Preview" or "Submit" button.
Can's access my profile -- I get the "TPM is undergoing maintenance" page.

Hilary and Tom,
Apparently, while they have the "My Dashboard" shut off, the "My Blog still works, where you can get the tabs for your comments and your recommends. I get mine by doing that and I got both of yours by clicking on your name on your comments above, they are here:

Well I was eventually able to erase the multiple posts. That feels good.
"No suitable nodes are available to serve your request" was the error I was getting.

If you're in the rich text editor, I'd suggest highlighting the whole block you want to blockquote and hitting the indent icon. You can scroll through all cafe talk posts here -- there's also a link to this page "All Reader Posts" in all community sidebars. Try dumping your cache and cookies to get rid of old toolbars. About the newts -- not yet.

Absolutely, I'm looking forward to using it.
BUT BUT BUT I am not getting a "follow" button on anyone's profile! I saw one once, when I first rest my account, after that I can't find a "follow" button anywhere.
Help me out, where do you see it, on the page you get when you click on someone's name? I get their blog page when I click on someone's name, I don't get their "dashboard."

There's an "All Reader Blogs" link right under your avatar on your page, this is the url:
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/
If you're talking about scrolling through Cafe Contributor posts, that's at the TPMCafe link at the menu at the top of the page. The url is
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/
On that page, they have (mistakenly?) removed the "All Reader Posts" link at the bottom of the "Recent Reader Posts" list that many of us (including you, I presumed) used to use.
I notice that on Election Central, they have a very short "Recommended Reader Posts" menu and there they DO have a "See Recent Reader Posts" link to the Reader Blog page, so I think it might be a mistake leaving it off the TPMCafe page.

Me too. I got it once when I reset my account. Since then, clicking on the link, I get this notice on the TPM masthead:
The file you are looking for has not been found.
Return to the home page.

I'm seeing weird stuff today too.
Recommend link doesn't work.
Posting form seems odd, like it's the software default, not using the TPM theme. The "muckraker" radio button choice is gone.
A lot of the sidebars seem off. The recommended sidebar in the cafe is displaying the recent posts, just upside down.
Get it working again please so people can recommend my awesome cartoon! ;-)

I think I'm going to shoot myself...I have apparently not made any posts or comments in all the months I've been here, I can't edit my profile, my avatar doesn't show up when I comment and my session times out every 2 minutes, so I have to sign back in. BUGS? More like giant reptiles...

Oh, yay! Guess the avatar is back!
