Where has the moon info gone????

I just went to click on the little moon icon and no sign of it. Is it gone for good? Moved? Just my computer?

"Well, of course. I'm male, a lot older than most of you"

Maybe .... but I bet I'm older than you are John Grin

Yeah, it was just the thumbnail / icon that was broken. Theoretically it should have been a piece of piss to fix but I guess the code got taffled up in some way that made it too difficult / annoying to sort

Back in the day the icon / thumbnail showed phase of the moon in real time and you could click through for more info. Was very handy. It'd been stuck on 1/2 moon constantly for bloody ages though, probably a year, if not much longer.

The electricity here works perfectly well John, although I am working on battery as I type this right now. Have just changed my meter so I will be using the mains every night (00:00 to 07:00) when it is half price.

Anyway, time for bed.

PS Since you're older, and I'm older, have to ask @How old@ ? (55 here, BTW)

Surely it was just the icon that was always stuck on half moon? I assumed it was just there to say 'click here for further information'. It was occasionally a day out with where it was meant to be but I miss it.

It bothered me and I reported it. Repeatedly. I Know damned well I wasn't the only one. Hrumph.

But, yeah, better it's done and gone than being endlessly stuck on half moon. I'm sure there are more pressing matters for tech to deal with.

Sure do, Fru Wink

CanadianJohn · 01/10/2014 16:49

Mansplaining? Well, of course. I'm male, a lot older than most of you, and when I see damsels in distress at losing the moon, so to speak, I naturally want to help. Grin

I naturally presumed that Google didn't work properly in the UK, what with your electricity being 240 volts, and electricity being so expensive in the UK. Wink

FruVikingessOla · 29/09/2014 19:23

I expect you're correct WoTmania!

NetworkGuy (upthread), who is a guy, hasn't mansplained ... because he doesn't do things like that.

Perhaps it's something to do with the Canadian sense of humour, eh?

One might almost have thought he was mansplaining

Does anyone remember the Wolefs? Grin

Quite, WoTmania! I fear that CanadianJohn has missed the point of your thread, particularly as you posted in Site Stuff - therefore asking a question about the .... umm .... MN website itself Grin

am perfectly capable of finding it CanadianJohn (and have done) but it was nice and convenient on here

I liked the moon icon for exactly the reasons Fru said, and I wished the app had it.

Sad it has gone!

FruVikingessOla · 29/09/2014 07:32

John, we do know how to Google, you know Grin

It's just that the moon was quite useful on here - even though I hadn't noticed it had gone!

CanadianJohn · 29/09/2014 02:05

Good grief, you want to know the phase of the moon, go here:

www.moonconnection.com/current_moon_phase.phtml

Why do you think Google was invented?

Loved my moon, now I have to go off and look it up

I liked the moon. Bring back the moon!

FruVikingessOla · 28/09/2014 15:52

The moon thing was quite helpful when things were 'kicking off' on here sometimes - check the moon phases and then walk away when it was a Full Moon Grin

NetworkGuy · 28/09/2014 11:06

I noticed it had gone... and came here, and now I know :(

FruVikingessOla · 28/09/2014 06:56

If you clicked on the moon it took you to another page which told you where the moon was.

I didn't notice it had gone though Blush

NerfHerder · 28/09/2014 00:30
Sad I loved that moon!
TooMuchCantBreath · 28/09/2014 00:27

Mine was always half too - but I liked it! Grin
