New 3 Second Pop-up

[TabinRivCA]

I'm getting a msg/pop-up just starting this week, that says 'you must wait 3 seconds to complete this action'. This happens before I've even posted anything and happens when I want to give a 'reaction' ie happy face, etc to a post. Is this something new?

It's been happening to me on my laptop for some time now and started today on my phone also

With that message or the, you don't have permission to view this page.

It's aggravating because I don't see the point to it. I go to a post and want to tap a 'react' symbol and told I have to wait 3 secs, then 2 secs, lol. I'm going to ask a Mod about it, I don't get it Thx for the info Magsie

It could be related to the tinkering being done getting the new chat app up and running.

It has been going on for at least a month by now...

@Magenta Oh, that would explain, but maybe they can stop itlol, it's annoying Thx! Oh, btw, could you tell me if you see my name listed in the 'Online Members List' now, I'm not sure if it's on it or not when I'm on.

I don't see you listed right now but then again, you asked over an hour ago...

I have been pre-occupied looking at and downloading images for possible use in future panels .

The emoticon glitch is still a problem, so maybe it's related?

Do you mean the reactions?

Anywho...

I have just finished looking at over 2k images from one person LOL

Probably closer to 2.5k.

I believe she is the same person who ai generated the girl in this panel (I did change/replace her eyes and make other edits):

Galatians 2:16 A man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Yes, that's what we've been talking about Here.
The emoticons in the reaction feature don't appear. It seems like an upgrade on our end or the forum end is needed.

I'm impressed with the new panel. I didn't know that it took that much time and work!
How does the new AI help?

Yeah, and the time it makes you wait to be able to post a reaction emoji is much longer than 3 seconds -- if at all. I've been having to hit the Refresh button and even then, it sometimes won't let me.

At first, the 3 seconds restriction was only happening on my laptop... Now it's happening on my laptop (no matter which browser I use -- before, I avoided some issues by switching browsers, but now, the problem seems universal,) AND my phone, so I have to assume it must have to do with whatever they're doing to update the site.

Yes, it has been discussed in a few threads... and going on for more than a month now. I do believe
it is connected to the chat app being tested out. @seoulsearch yikes I am still good in Firefox but
I did notice yesterday or Wednesday that the glitching had started on my phone as well.

Well, searching out images to use in my designs is or has quite often been a time consuming part of what I do, but my whole adult life has been spent looking at other people's pictures, so it is something that I imagine I find easier to do than some others might. Like, I looked at everything that one person had on offer, which was at least forty pages of images, and there are probably sixty images per page... and that was after already looking at possibly a few hundred from the general offerings. When I find an artist whose work I like, I go into where just their stuff is displayed on the site, through their profile. She had a number of styles, some of which were basically completely unsuitable for what I want images for, so I was able to skim through those. Halloween and seasonal and faeries and other thematic stuff... and some of the images I saved of hers only to chop up and use parts of. For instance I started this panel yesterday, and then after perusing a thread on women's role in the church etc, I dediccated it to Genesis and used four or five background elements, some of which were parts of larger images of hers, mixed and matched, to remove the elements I did not want. I had already tried quite a few combos of different backgrounds and things before that, but did not like anything with that face until that point. That is why I call what I do "collaging," for it truly is. I used to spend a lot of time building my backgrounds, and still do fuss over them, but generally speaking, since they get covered with the text which is the whole point of the panel in the first place, I really kind of have to be willing to sacrifice parts of what I have added to the greater good of the panel, if you know what I mean?

And now so many people are using AI to generate images, which at first I eschewed, for I was mostly only looking at/for women's faces at that point, and a lot of them were too obviously AI, but the first thing I usually do with a woman's face is change the eyes, so that helped alleviate some of the problem, though even then, one partially profiled face I saw had one large nostril instead of two LOL.So I swapped out the nose on that one also, and other times I change the mouth or the hair also and add a torso/shoulders and change the neck and do all manner of edits and manipulations to the files I find, which are offered free for use in people's projects. I did like that the files are all relatively large, because it is better to have to shrink something than to have to stretch it out too much (it blurs/pixelates/gets grainy). Anywho, yeah, I spend a good deal of time on most of the panels, though my time has shortened overall... but even selecting the fonts can be challenging, because I have added so many and not all are as legible as I would like blah blah blah!!! LOL.

I am really liking some of the AI generated backgrounds I am finding,
and that can also lessen the amount of time I spend on a panel.
Oh, that girl in the earlier panel? I had to add her other arm hehee.

Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (plus kenegdo explanation)
Here is another example of me blending backgrounds and changing faces up...

^ Finshed product ^ after mixing/blending ~ main background:

With original woman:

New face:

With these eyes:

 

[Magenta]

@HealthAndHappiness here is another recent one showing facial changes I made to the original:



Swapping out/adding the ear from this woman



The pupils from this woman



Hair from this woman:



And this woman's upper torso/chest/neck, shoulder, etc



All on this background which I altered the colour of to match the colour behind the new ear

1 Corinthians 4:7b; John 3:27; Romans 9:15-16 What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did also receive it, why do you boast as not having received it? John replied, "A man can receive only that which is given him from heaven." "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So then, it does not depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
Constructing the frame and making it match the rest of everything else also takes time...

 

[Magenta]

Oops, that was the wrong upper torso/chest/neck, shoulder, etc ...



^ That's the right one... ^ I hadn't named it properly in my working file so it was hard to find...

This had been my fave for showing the type of transformation I work on a face:

Starting with this face:

Yeah, sorry, by the time I ask I'm off again, lol. I fixed the privacy settings and was checking to see if I did it right. Thx tho, and great panels btw, just like seeing the fantastic masculine images you create also

Don't believe so. Just another glitch. Happens to me too. Sometimes I wait pass 3 seconds and get the same message. Most of the time no problem, but occasionally this occurs. Hopefully, this too will be resolved. I finally had to switch browsers because my reaction box did not work, I would hover over the 'like' icon - the box and icons would briefly appear before disappearing totally. It works now since I switched from MS Edge to Wave.

Ok, thx, I'm not the only one, lol.

I think this feature has always been like this because i've seen it many times before.

It just started with my laptop this week, I thought it was a virus at first. Hope they fix-it soon

 

[TabinRivCA]

And btw, I also have duckduckgo, and don't have a problem there with the 'react' emojis showing, like I do on Microsoft Edge. Just got plagued with the '3 min wait' msg the last few days on ddg, where's the Mod Squad? lol

Do you have the site crashing occasionally, also? Sometimes it goes down multiple times in a day for me.
