Yeah, I see them now, thanks 😊. I’ve also switched to the Vincent theme which is much easier on the eyes.

Nice!

I like locations, also.

They don’t have to be precise – probably shouldn’t be – but it’s often useful to know whether somebody’s posting from Nebraska or from Japan, and even when people mention it occasionally, I can’t keep track.

ETA: are the emojis working now? 😀 They weren’t earlier.

Emojis working now for me. And one question: how did you do the multi-quote of **Beck** and me?

First I highlighted the part of Beck’s which I quoted, clicked on the “quote” bubble which comes up, and typed some reply in the resulting reply box.

Then I clicked the down arrow in the upper right corner of the reply box, which makes that box shrink to a bar at the bottom of the screen, and went back to reading.

Then I did the same highlight-and-quote on your post, and the part of yours I was quoting appeared in the same reply box, and I replied to that also; and then, when I was ready to post, hit “reply” at the bottom of the window. (If you want to expand the quote box again without quoting somebody else, there’s an up arrow in the shrunken bar.)

Thanks! Hope I’ll remember the steps when first making multiple quotes.

Fuck giving it a chance. It’s been an unreal twenty years. My Yahoo email gave up today, too. Use gmail until it dies.

This is a test post. I’m going to try my hand at multi-quoting some pieces of various posts here.

Okay, there’s one piece of a post.

Okay, now I got my practice doing that. Why did Beckdawrek’s emojis get included in the above quote, but JackieLikesVariety emoji did not???

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#):

> now I need more practice 🙄

Okay. Got the emoji that time. This takes skillful mousework!
