Remember when websites looked like this?

I have never posted a support topic in the WP forums before. But since I’m sly like Vanilla Ice and on a rampage of customization I thought I’d try to get a question answered.

Silly me, only people who know the answers can ask the questions.

I thought I gave my question a very good title. Informative yet brief, Pre-filled comment form (keeping users signed in). Basically, I switched to the new theme and now when I (and I assume you too) leave a comment I have to keep filling out the form. Before, it just kept us all happily signed in.

I asked my question and waited for a response. It came in the form of wait, should I use her real alias? No, let’s just say it came in the form of Whooanna. She said, you need to check the cookies info at the top of comment.php. So I did. And they are indentical in my new and old themes. I said so. But I accidentally posted it twice and suddenly I’m being yelled at for double threading. I apologized for the double thread and continued on with the topic of the post. But instead of answering the question, Whooanna says something like, I JUST told you in the other post. Why do you INSIST on having two threads going at the same time? MOVING ON… But there was no answer in the other post and then this post got deleted. Now my question is buried and lifeless. Clearly, I committed a crime fit for beheading. It was an honest mistake, promise!

I stared at the cieling for a few minutes until TBU asked me what the deal was. Then I got mad and stalked that bitch to her Flickr site. She’s as ugly in real life as she is on the support forums. That makes me a little happier.

Dood, I know everyone is volunteering on the forums, which is exactly my point, no one is making you do it. If it’s so terrible, let someone who is interested in helping take over.

I did it all by myself! Friday night I just got so tired of that stupid blue thing around my header. In a very informercial kind of manner I was like, There HAS to be a better way. I went to the WordPress theme database thingy, picked one that looked kinda like my old one and went to town. Did you know that the default theme is just a pain in the ass for no apparent reason? I got my new theme and when I told it to do something it was all, OK. Just like that, no whining or implosion of the internets. It’s been amazing! And you know what else I did because I am a big girl and have lots of courage? I was feeling high from my theme success and I thought I could handle the new upgrade. Even though I promised myself I would never upgrade again, I did it. And it worked! I didn’t have to cry or email anyone frantically. And what makes it even better is that I did it all by myself. I feel like WordPress and I have had a break through in therapy. We can finally stand being around each other. He knows I’ll be gone for days at a time, even weeks, without explanation. I know he can be tempermental. But we’re working through that.

I’ve always loved themillionizer.com but there were always things that were complete mysteries and frustrated the shit out of me. But now I feel like, if there’s a problem, yo I’ll solve it. Interestingly enough, Friday night was also the night TBU and I went to Trader Joe’s and I was in such a magical place I thought (mostly) everyone was beautiful. My head was full of spring blooms and compliments for the public at large. That’s a RARE occurence, let me tell you. Something inexplicable was in the air because we got home and WordPress and I just started meshing.

Oh and the killer whale up there. The file is saved as ‘fruit of my labor.’ That’s because I spent a whole day at work wasting time and coloring to my exact specifications. I had the kids running around sharpening the colored pencils. When I got home I put it up on the fridge. Then I thought I might like it for my new header. And I do. Thursday was my last day at that job and I’m a little sad because I know I won’t have the opportunity to do nothing and get paid for it anymore. More on that later.
