All change and another plea for help!

Rescue.

Before I bang on about my current woes I just couldn't resist sharing this picture from the Boscastle flood rescue. Of all the the images we have seen this one has to be one of the nicest and as one who worries what would happen to her cats if a disaster struck, it is a reassuring sight.

Ok......my woes, as ever are computer related. The long running, missing comments delete icon saga is still the bane of my virtual life. I have as instructed by the techies at Blogger cleared my cache, temp. files,history, cookies. I have checked every single letter and symbol on my template, have reduced the security settings to almost nil and set this infernal machine to happily accept so much in the way of cookies that it would glady take onboard Huntley and Palmers entire stock!

I have restored back to a time when I knew the delete function was working, I have logged in on four other computers, I have disabled my firewall and virus protection and checked for a picture place holder......there is none! Still this problem is not solved and Blogger seem to have washed their hands of it. They say they can see the offending item at thier end and so it must be an issue with my pc.

Add to that I also don't have a quick edit icon and I am now, even more annoyingly, getting reports that some of you can't access my comments at all to leave a message, I am completely confounded, confused, aggravated, annoyed, frustrated, perplexed and very slowly going demented!

In a last ditch attempt at restoring this blog to working order I am today going to change to a completley different template. If nothing else it will make life easier on the eyes of myself and Alan who both struggle in our dotage with the 'white on black' thing. I don't in all honesty know how a new template will help but at this stage anything is worth a try. Does the phrase clutching at straws come to mind here?

Failing that I may be forced to entertain Haloscan again..... or God forbid, take on the terrifying task that is Movabletype!

Suffice to say my friends, expect some disruption in this little corner of the virtual world today and if I fall of completely for a time don't be overly surprised. Your patience and any suggestions are much appreciated.

Oh, and it's still raining.................
