Unthinkable Wings

OK, here's a weird DW issue.

Reading my flist, I am able to see a flocked post by a friend which contains a cut. However, if I try to click on the cut, or to comment, I get the protected content notice. How's that possible?

(I'm not objecting to not being on someone's filter, incidentally, which I assume is part of the issue, it just strikes me as strange that I can see part of the post but not all of it).

Heads up for those of you who might want a DW journal

If you're interested in a DW account, you can currently create one without needing an invite. Offer available till the end of the year.

For the avoidance of doubt: I'm not decamping from LJ and I will continue to allow comments there, partly because I don't want to lose touch with those of you who for whatever reason don't like DW, and partly because although I've had my issues with some of LJ's policies in the past, their current difficulties are not their fault and, indeed, occurring because they're providing a platform for free speech in Russia, which is a Good Thing. But backing up your data or having alternate routes to access it is always good and crossposting from/ to DW is one easy way to do it.

The little triangle thing that's supposed to expand cut texts doesn't work for me. Anyone else found this?

I am running Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS X.5.8, with noscript and the pop-up blocker extensions - but I don't seem to be blocking anything relevant.

Thoughts, anyone?

ETA: it has now worked, on one post; it doesn't on any other. I do not understand this, but it may be down to the slowness of my connection :(

By way of introductions

Hum. Difficult to know what to put, particularly given that you have probably read my profile page, since you're here.

As you will guess from it - or observe from my older posts - this journal has a rather idiosyncratic mix of content, though it's mostly either fannish (in particular, at the moment, about Doctor Who, though Harry Potter and Tolkien also come up quite a lot; I've also written fic and meta relating to Dorothy L Sayers, CS Lewis and John Buchan), poetry (generally other peoples' flowers, though sometimes weeds of my own creep in), mediaevalist, or to do with theology and liturgy, from the perspective of a catholic Anglican and armchair mystic (with a weird sense of humour). I love Patrick O'Brian and am vaguely returning to Star Trek, though my journal hasn't much reflected either to date. My fic, when the impulse takes me, is mostly gen, with the odd bit of mild romance; I like filling in holes in canon, or poking away at things that bother me for some reason - commentary on canon in imaginative form. The latter impulse, incidentally, inspired my two Bible fics.

Flocked posts are generally either wailing about my thesis - I'm a grad student, or more personal things to do with spirituality - or otherwise more personal than I want floating about on the net for all to see.

Anyway, I shall be poking about DW looking for interesting journals, because I'm always happy to meet new people, and do subscribe if you think I sound interesting. If, subsequently, you find I'm not, then I won't be hurt if you desubscribe....

And should you have questions, then ask them.

I am not entirely surprised that no-one on here is interested in Wolfram von Eschenbach, Anglo-Catholicism, or indeed Capercaillie, except me, but no one else giving 'star trek: deep space 9' as an interest? I really do feel like an early adopter now!
