I just cut the code from contact form and re-did it and the captcha seems to be working again. But the side bars are all F.u.

Kawauso,

I just checked out my other pages after I pasted your code and updated. They’re a bit screwed up.
Would you mind checking them for me.
The side bars appear to have moved down below the text and the contact form no longer has the Captcha symbols.

damn.

p.s. who the hell is going to help me if you’re not around. You seem to be the only one on here who knows what he’s doing. Or are you female?
I don’t believe I ever got your name.

Perfect. Thanks
I thought it might be something to do with the “visible” setting. i googled it before. I tried to change it to “collapse”, but that didn’t work.

I will definitely start learning how to code – will check out the links.

Why aren’t you going to be around?
You didn’t say whether you have a blog or company website?

Lance

ok – thanks.
So should I just copy and paste what you have above?
Would you mind giving me a short explanation of what was wrong and what code changes you made? Trying to learn as I go so I don’t have to ask you as many questions in the future ??

I like the “Post a Comment” link – just didn’t like the huge blank space.

Thanks
p.s. I had already checked the profile options before asking you and didn’t find an option for email notification.

Great Thanks.
You didn’t answer whether there’s a way to set up an email notification when someone posts on a thread I started? How am I supposed to know when people answer my questions?

Ok – I have tried again below. If you give me an email address I can send it to you in a text document.

Here you go:

I don’t understand. Could you explain what you mean and why?

Thanks

Funny you should mention cancer research. My friend recently sent me a donation link for a cancer charity because he is participating in a run. I will now definitely donate some money.

Curious – is there any way to set up something on this support site that sends me an email when someone posts something to a thread I started?

Thanks again for your help.

Ok – I got rid of the rss widget and I’m just using the “recent posts” widget – good enough.
And I found a plugin for the rss icon that says subscribe next to it.
thanks

Resolved – thanks

Kawauso,
By the way – I have no problem paying you for your help. I have a paypal account.

thanks

Lance

Hi esmi,

Thanks a lot for your help

1) What do you mean I have 2 posts in my wp feed? Where can I see that? When I look at my RSS feed I set up in the RSS widget on my sidebar I only see one.

2) People who have never seen an RSS feed would not know to click on the orange symbol in my sidebar. Is there something separate I can add that says something like “Click here to get RSS feed”? I would also like something that will show the posts and comments separately if possible.

I really don’t think it should take a day to populate. It has already been about 8 hours.

Lance
