Status of Angry Bear
Strategy New Media Inc is our new host and IT fix-it company. MEV, our previous host, had ceased supporting WordPress platforms. so a move was mandatory. As of last night, Strategy is migrating AB to a new server, so as some have experienced difficulties in commenting I apologize. I have alerted Strategy to these glitches.
Dan:
Thank you.
As you know, I have been fielding the notifications by the commenters and was unable to find a reason why their comments disappeared with the exception of one (restored).

Hospitals denounce state’s decision to shut-off vaccine supply
(This won’t post in the Open Topics thread.)
Such ‘software handoffs’ as this don’t often work
any better than pandemic vaccination programs,
so that’s not a surprise.
Can you guys email me when this is all done?
Too aggravating to comment, and discussion is impossible. I posted comment in two threads (this would be the third) and nothing happens.
as i emailed you on January 16th, a couple months ago i stopped getting notifications of new Angry Bear posts on my “Feedspot” feedreader (i couldn’t even get a comment blank on any AB post to appear at that time)
i believe that probably means that anyone who was following Angry Bear feeds at that time also got cut off…this is the last Angry Bear post that i know about:

when you all get settled in, i’ll fix that on my end…i have no idea what you can do on yours..
rjs:
Thanks for letting me know. Passed on to Dan.
‘Strategy New Media Inc is our new host and IT fix-it company.’
Maybe you should be looking for an
even better ‘IT fix-it company.’
Fred:
Are you offering up funding for the endeavor???
Lately I can only post on this thread.
Surely, all these helpful ads popping
up all around me fund some really
capable IT support.
Fred:
Unless you have a sponsor, the ads do not give you much or as much as they have in the past. Neither does Google. Why do you think other sites are asking for contributions or restricting commentary without membership.
Dobbs et al
well, i was able to find work arounds for all my problems so far… except for the stuff i never saw.
AB has been very good about helping me.
but “Such ‘software handoffs’ as this don’t often work
any better than pandemic vaccination programs,
so that’s not a surprise.”
is what i have been saying about the computer age for years… and people who act like computers for decades.
when we finally beoome fully automated and AI takes care of all our needs we will cease to exist as a species
not only because we will be redundant, but because a computer glitch will result in a 300 million car chain pile up rumored to have started somewhere in the Midwest.
with any luck the weeds will grow back and fill in the cracks we left behind.
