Technical Query


Tuesday, August 30, 2005


My sidebar seems to have vanished again.

By that, I don’t mean it’s dropped to the bottom of the page, the way it does when you insert something in your text that’s longer than it ought to be.

It’s just sodded off.

So, three crucial questions cutting to the heart of contemporary debate:

Does anyone else have this problem, and if so how do you solve it?

Can you see my sidebar?

Why are my local shopkeepers refusing to sell me any more solvent or methylated spirits?

It's gone on one of those bloody Leith Walks, would be my first guess.

Oooh, a test. Can I have a go?
1. No. Surprising really, as I know as much about HTML as I do about North Latvian goat-masturbating techniques.
2. Yes and no. Or to be accurate, no and yes. No when FeedDemon takes me right to the post, but yes when I go to the mainpage - if that makes sense.
3. Have you stopped paying for them? Taking the goods and then legging it without paying does not fulfil your part of the contract, I'm afraid.

Hopre this helps. A vain hope I know, but I'm ever the optimist.

I reckon naughty students pinched it, along with the basket and the lights.

Can I see your sidebar? What kind of a question is that?

If you think your sidebar is so miniscule as to evade detection, there is always elective surgery. As for me, I always thought it was cute, even if it was (strictly speaking) more of a side-dangle.

Toasty - you have never had a sidebar. I know this is a hard piece of news but it is time to accept that teddy bears do not come to life at night, there are no pink elephants or blue moons and Santa Claus will not be coming down your chimney on Christmas Eve - or any other night of the year. Sidebars do not exist; you never had one. It's no good getting us searching around for hours on end for something that isn't real.
How about getting a puppy? Much more interesting than sidebars!


TOASTY replied…

Abishag, you’re heartless, taking away my one remaining illusion. Thank God I can always depend on the fairies at the bottom of my garden.

(Not that I would ever go down there, you understand, as it’s boggy and smelly and filled with octogenarian Japanese soldiers who haven’t yet heard about VJ Day. And if you think that’s bad you obviously haven’t looked in the shed.)

Meanwhile, indulge me for a moment, everyone, in the childish fantasy that my sidebar has now reappeared – but only as far as the first two entries in ‘Early supporters’, after which it stops short, for no better reason than that it’s trying to hound me into an early grave because I refused to provide venture capital for its dodgy nightclub project in Torremelinos which my solicitor told me not to touch with a bargepole, and I’d already invested in a bargepole so that was me shafted both ways, wasn’t it?
