SubscribeI have had a few reports that something on the site is causing a few browser crashes for Safari users, and I am trying to track down what it might be. If you are experiencing a browser crash while visiting this site, please let me know on our Contact Form, especially including what you were doing at the time your browser crashed (loading the front page, viewing a video, etc.) I will continue to track it down by switching a few articles on and off until I find where the problem is. Some features may appear and disappear temporarily as I explore this.
If you are a participant in a comment thread and your e-mail box is being inundated with updates to that thread, you can turn that notification feature off by browsing to the very bottom of the comments, where you will discover subscription management options to turn on/off those notifications.
A reminder that personal attacks and generic hate speech should be avoided in the comments section. Offenders will find their comments deleted. If you find an offending comment, you can report it on the Contact Form.
Finally, remember that many articles are posted here in summary form, especially those with embedded videos. You can click on the link to “…Continue Reading” to see the rest of the contents. We use summaries to reduce page loading time, not to hide less relevant information. You are always encouraged to read articles in their entirety.
Our About Us page has been slightly revised to include our mailing address.
UPDATE 6/2: I believe I have tracked the browser crash issue in Safari to the introduction of our new Flash video player. It may throw an error message your way, but it should no longer crash your browser. Please continue to report any errors you see. You can append them as a comment. I am going to try and make changes to the Flash player to fix this. If you cannot play the videos, please let me know, and also check to make sure you are running the latest version of Flash.
I like the feature where you link to the entire source article that you are commenting upon. In this way I can read the original article and make my own decisions. I wish all media were as accessible as this site.
As always, nice job!
Jeff yes it is a nice feature but I was getting several hundred one day and I never signed up for any. I visit everyday actually several times a day when the action is in full swing. Because my personal email filters blacklisted the messages I could only see what sent it but no content and no place to turn it on or off as I have not subscribed yet because of cookie issues on my system… The only way STC could keep track of me is cookies. I sent phil a private email I hope he got it as… Read more »
I would also like to second “read articles in their entirety.” I have seen that and the answer is some times on page two. Hate messages: as far as I know being a gentleman has not gone out of style. Only trolls do hate and this is not Yahoo.
