Thoughts on - Why is it so hard to leave comments ? Have you given up? (Updated 15 June 2020). Still need help.

Do you comment ? Or have you given up ?

Hi all,

         The other day I was reading a post on the Gundabad Games blog, they had posted a review of "Five Klicks from the Zone - Chapter 1" by Nordic Weasel games. It was an interesting read and I wanted to leave a comment in appreciation.

         I entered my comment, hit Publish, and it just vanished.  The setting label was on google admin, so I thought it should be ok. I had a look at the other settings and then tried to do it with my email in the URL. Nothing.

So if you are reading this please try to comment in the box below, mentioning what the settings were please. If you do manage it Great , thanks. BUT, if as I suspect, you fail, please email me at 

ivorcogdell@hotmail.com - Subject: Blog comments

Thanks for reading this in any event. I will add your comments on the bottom here if you say so.

Update - just tried my own comment - Nothing on Google Administrator.setting.

8th June 2020 - No comments yet, you could be the first.

15th June 2020 - Thanks for the comment Shaun. I have just succeeded with my mobile too. I will try on here in a mo. Tried it. Still no luck using chrome or Brave, odd.

 It shows "Google account", but not where to add my name, does it automatically know? I imagine so, but it does not show it.

I will try another reply at Gundobad Games on the net and then by phone. I succeeded in leaving a message on their post "5 Klicks from the Zone" on the phone, but still not by net.

Regards all,

Ivor Cogdell

Star Trek Discovery DVD Price change

Hi everyone,
                    I was (note: was being the operative word) going to buy season 2 of Star Trek Discovery on DVD the other day (9 April 2020) on Amazon, but when I checked the price, I found it had leapt from £22 to a staggering £28 GBP. Any ideas why this is so? Have they added more content, such as trailers for season three, if there is one? Is it because Picard Season 1 has aired in the UK? If you know or at least have another idea, I would love to hear from you.

 In the comments below, if they will let you or at

ivorcogdell @ hotmail.com

Many thanks and stay safe indoors,

Ivor Cogdell

Update

One of my spies suggest "It could be because season 3 will be shown on tv soon and they see it as a chance to up the cost." We are not saying that is correct; it is just a theory.

But if you know different.....

7 Feb 2026 - I have just bought Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard on DVD (Finally), and it still comes to £19 in the UK. Rippoff.

Thoughts on - Creative Commons Publishing.

Hi all,
         As you may have seen in the "Thoughts on _ Merry Christmas" post 26.12. 2019, I have been writing a home brewed Sector map setting for the Role Playing Game "Stars without Number" (C) Sine Nome Publishing (TM) and Kevin Crawford, it is also compatible with Traveller etc.
          I was pondering publishing it under a creative commons licence on the DriveThroughRPG (TM) website. It runs to about 14 A4 pages and does not contain any artwork.
         If anyone has done any small scale publishing before, I would love to get their input.

Many thanks,

Sticking my head over the parapet and waving for attention

Hi all,
         I'm just going to "send this up the flagpole and see who salutes", as they say. This is (or rather was when this was posted) a new blog, compared to most of the ones I have seen on the net that have been stomping along for years, it does not have much actual battle content (it has more now) and I will admit that it is not expanding as quickly as I would have hoped when I started (this is still true). My painting skills need improving, which I hope will come with practice. My terrain skills are firmly stuck in novice mode and I don't mind admitting it. I am gradually increasing my props with 3D cutouts gleaned from the net.
          What I am after with this post is to get some feedback on the blog. Good bits, bad bits, any programs that you find useful when you are writing your blog, such as adding speech bubbles into photos, links to check etc.
          I don't expect a great long reply from everyone that reads this, although that would be nice, if you would like to contribute on here or elsewhere on the site, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for me trying to pick your brains.....

Ivor

P.S Its been at least a month since this was posted, should I have added a "Pretty please ?" in there ?. Eighteen kind folks have actually looked at this page, I suppose you guys and gals out there are all busy doing your own stuff, I can't blame you, it's more interesting than typing away in here.  :-)

I will probably learn more by reading other folks' blogs anyway, it's just finding the time to see whats out there in Blogland.

No comments, but at least I got some likes. Thanks for that.

Have fun and have a happy and safe life.
