I am aware of the situation and have emailed the scheduled bloggers (the Indy post hasn’t appeared either). A blog will be published later today, even if I have to write one myself.

It is now 0740 and it has not appeared. When can we expect to see it?

I’m sorry to hear that you are having problems viewing the site. Is this something that you have only noticed recently (and have gone back through Guardian blogs until you saw a difference between the 17th and 18th) or was it happening back in April? I ask because there were no software changes on or around 18 April but I did add a plug-in five days ago that caches all the posts to reduce the server resource load.

Over 20% of the site’s visitors use Firefox and I’ve not heard from anyone else who is having a similar problem so it is most likely to be an issue with your browser (I have checked and all posts are displaying correctly in IE10). I am not sure what settings can be changed in Firefox but your fist step must be to clear the browser’s cache in case this has become corrupted. In IE this is done by selecting ‘delete browsing history’ in the ‘Tools’ menu and Firefox will have something similar.

Solutions before this date are still fully readable, but now in a reduced central column & with pictures.

For 18/4/13 on, all change. The comments, when selected, are more than full width – the comment numbers are no longer visible on the LHS.

Are there any settings that I can change to get a better view, please? (I’m using Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7.)

You are more than welcome. I have been using WordWeb for several years, with just the Chambers dictionary addition. The ability to do a wildcard search is most useful, particularly with puzzles like the Listener. I can assure you that it works under Win7 (64-bit).

Thanks for your advice re WordWeb and an electronic version of Chambers.

I’ve been looking for ages for something but the sites for Chambers and SOED are pretty useless. Even more worrying are the doubts that what they actually do offer wont run on 64 bit Windows!

I was even more pleased to see that I can get the SOED with word web as this is my dictionary of choice. (My old version won’t run under Windows 7 which is most inconvenient.)

You’ve made two people very happy as this also gets my wife off my back now that she has something to buy me for my upcoming birthday.

Thanks again.

I have apologised to birdsong elsewhere for my impatience, please accept my apologies here as well!!! As I also mentioned to birdsong I am immensely grateful to the site for all it provides. I recognise the level of commitment shown by you all and would like, here, to formally thank you!!

I note that RCW is still not posting and assume that there is no further word of his well-being?

David

Yes, I am aware of the lack of a blog for today’s Rufus (I visit the site regularly throughout the day and check for such things). As bridgesong has pointed out elsewhere, a blogger may be unable to post for any number of reasons: domestic/work commitments, illness, pc failure, power failure etc or just plain forgetfulness.

If a blog hasn’t appeared by early afternoon I either seek a volunteer to write one or, more usually, prepare one myself. I was in the process of so doing when you posted your comment and it will appear shortly.
