"- I just tried to end Green, but inadvertently ended the stanza instead. However, the machine allowed the blank line - is this intended?"

For the moment I haven't implemented the blank line trapping, but will do so before the full bevy of poems goes live.

"Trying to add a title to the latest work in the Treasury, the title words were missing"

Yes, there was some oddity about how this poem was finished, and I'm going to have to update the treasury manually, but haven't done it yet.

Some might say that for the form on new TSG to default to the option of 'clear line' is perverse, since, in terms of the unnecessary clicks (or tab-key depressions) that others have noted in other contexts, it is more likely by far that one wants to add the line that has just been entered, rather than to delete it by the too hasty depression of the self-styled return key.

Eldred's glum, glum spleen: The Agent observes that the option for showing authors on this and soem other pomes in the House of Fame does not provide any authors' names, merely a substitute button that offers to conceal what has not been displayed.

/m91 the first 80 or so poems lack author names at the dn of each line. This would have to be fixed by hand, and there are other priorities!

/m90 That assumes that user convenience is the sole criterion. In this case it isn't: Anyone pressing the return key when they've only completed one field is being so negligent in their approach that they do not deserve that their effort should be rewarded with addition to the poem! This is just what new visitors are likely to do. Anyone else will know better!

/m90 The Agent is not so easily deflected, since the cgi-bin would instantly detect any such informationally deficient would-be entry & hold it up to the would-be contributor's gaze. Besides which, assuming such a hominid insists on the futle practice of using the mouse, clicking on one point on the screen rather than another to seek to submit the line poses no insurmountable problems that the available software - and not the layout of the form - should solve.

/m94 How James Bondish!

/m94 Or, The Agent wonders could, as with some Windows drop-down menus and the like, Alt S select Submit, and Alt C Cancel/Clear? The identity of Mr Bond is not known to The Agent, but it is clear that the actor Toby Stephens is, if not meant, then the person who should be meant.

/m97 Rest assured, I won't blow your cover, Agent ;-)
(Nor try to diagram your sentences!)

Ziti Prose is giving me grief - have only been able to submit to it once so far.

/m99 On SB QT, Peter posted that he is away on vacation.

It's an ongoing problem - still occurs even after a new piece has been started. Happens the same from two different computers (although they probably have the same external IP address).

In fact, it's not just Ziti prose - seems I can't add any prose at all.

I've just started a new Ziti piece with no problem - it must be you, N!

/m101 & /m102 Nym, I was able to add the Ziti prose just now.
