Three plush cat beds spread over two floors, and this is what he likes best:

I could have gotten three of those for the price of one cat bed.

Transferred from Premium thread:

It just occurred to me that once Connor is in the Holy Land, not only his eyes can glow, but the halo can appear when he uses his powers too. It can start out as something faint and eventually grow to look like the one in my first image. However, he's also supposed to have a demonic poison flowing through his veins, so he can't look too powerful, at least not at the beginning. I'm also wondering if his irises should turn to yellow as the poison slowly takes over his body. But then I'll be bouncing between blue and yellow, which is rather weird.

It may not be your account, but the simple test cases I suggested earlier will help narrow down what account bug or feature bug may be doing this. As I noted above, I was unable to reproduce it using my account to review J.R.'s short stories.

If your reviews saved properly, there's a possibility that they're still in the database.

I can't reproduce it. I had no trouble leaving a regular review against The Goat, and I started writing another regular review for Hair Club but abandoned it before submitting to see if it would show in my "saved" reviews that hadn't been submitted, but as expected, that only works for inlines.

As a test, please try to leave another regular review for J.R. on The Goat and on one other of his short stories that you haven't yet tried to review. Just throw some random gibberish into the text fields, so there's something to save. Please make a note of the results and then try leaving a test inline review against those same two stories (you'll need to leave at least five comments and closing comments to be able to submit those).

I assume there's no question you scrolled down and hit the button to publish the regular reviews that went missing? If in doubt, blame the user. :-)

If something doesn't work right, please try to do the same tests (regular review and an inline review) against one of my short stories. That's to determine if the issue is with J.R.'s account or yours.

Please post the results of your tests here.

Bill, does KSP allow you to sell through other booksellers like B&N at the same time? Or are you locked into KSP? If so, for how long?

Thanks

I settled on Gandalf the Beige, although he still moves around like a ghost, hence Phantom was a possibility, and he still likes to nibble on me, hence Jaws was a contender.

Welcome to the site. If you have any questions about the site, feel free to post them here or send me a connection request (I do volunteer user support here). Also, if you haven't already come across it, there's an article pinned near the top of this forum with tips on how to maximize the number of reviews you can get here. Hope it helps!

Gandalf playing gently with his toys:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/QzTrgvgZqehazCuZ9

That nasty brown thing your see in parts of these videos is a toy mouse that just refuses to die (it vibrates) despite Gandalf's best efforts.

The game he's trying to destroy normally comes with three balls inside about the size of ping pong balls. He conquered that game in a matter of minutes when I first gave it to him. He knows exactly how to get them out, so I made it a little more challenging by putting an electronic spinning ball inside that's bigger than the holes to get it out.

That's a little mean but it's meant to help him work off excess energy to reduce the frequency and intensity of his almost-nightly zoomies. I eventually pop the ball out for him and let him smack it around the house. A+ for effort.

If you think those are wild, you should see him go after a laser pointer dot on the floor. I haven't filmed it yet because each time I play that with him I can't stop laughing.

Sol, we're now seeing spammers creating groups on the site. Four very recently, plus an old abandoned one. I renamed all groups to be deleted Obsolete 0 thru Obsolete 4.

Is it possible for you to easily disable the ability of trial members to create new groups? That would likely eliminate most if not all spam groups. I added a new group tonight called "READ ME BEFORE CREATING NEW GROUPS!" specifically to provide guidance for legitimate members thinking of creating one.

Personally, I think trial members should have to wait to create new groups. We haven't had a single successful group created by a trial member since they don't know anyone on the site, don't know if anyone else would be interested in a new group, don't know that they need to advertise new groups, don't know that most current members generally don't use non-Premium groups (especially not the non-Premium forums, with one or two exceptions), etc.

Forget sharing. Gandalf likes to hog my side of the bed. Whenever there's an opening, he goes for it. Even when I pretend I'm going to lie on top of him, he doesn't buy it and doesn't like my attempts to push him out of the way. He also doesn't like being locked in my office (aka the cat shrine) for any amount of time while I do chores that require me to go in and out of the house. When I return to let him back out, he gives me the stink eye and complains until I apologize, meaning until I give him a treat.

I leave the door to my upstairs bathroom slightly open when I shower in case Gandalf has to use the facilities. Twice now, he's hopped onto the top of the bathtub and walked along the length of it, though outside the shower curtain. Each time, I'm reminded of Norman Bates (insert screetchy music) and laugh my --- off. Both times, he went so far as to come inside the curtain and walk along the back of the tub to where a bottle of body wash stands in the back corner, just so he can sniff it, looking to see if it's food (his favorite pastime). Once he's satisfied I'm not in there eating, he leaves. He had the same interest in my electric toothbrush initially; kept meowing because he wanted whatever it was I was eating. Once I showed him it was an inedible brush head, he was satisfied.

The cutest thing, though, is when he races me up or down the stairs. He waits to give me a head start, then makes the cat equivalent of a racing car noise (a long warbling meow) and zooms past me. The first time he did it, he shot between my legs as I was climbing. He doesn't understand that tripping your meal ticket down the stairs might interfere with his meal schedule.

Gandalf does.

Yup. I've seen it sometimes too. Rather than helpful chapter names, they're often reduced to naming each chapter n to "chapter n+1" because they haven't used the prologue choice in the pick list to denote an actual prologue.

My cat's cheeks seem to itch a lot; ditto his forehead, although less so. He approaches me easily ten times a day and pushes his cheeks against my hand, usually my fingertips/fingernails until I scratch him. I know cats have scent glands on their cheeks and forehead, but this seems like more than marking me with his scent. Is his behavior excessive? I'm wondering if he may have allergies. He's been treated for ticks and fleas.
