  Seriously, are you reading my posts, or am I being Bozo’d again?

  raincoaster – I’m not 100% sure what you mean, or even if you’re talking to me, but I am reading them – we just seem to be posting at the same time, so there’s a delay that makes it look like I’m not. And I thank you, most truly.

  A link to the pages with the feed problems would also help.

  Well, the Ravelry one is not accessible to non-members, and the Blogger issue may possibly have resolved itself (but it’s not clear yet – it seems intermittent). Who knows? Maybe it’s just one of life’s mysteries. Maybe the ‘Happiness engineers’ will resolve all…

  Being “Bozo’d” happens to forum volunteers who answer a lot of questions; the automatic spam protection picks up that they’re posting a lot on the forum and makes it look to them like their posts are here, but to everyone else, the posts are invisible. I was wondering if that’s what happened to me again; it happens quite regularly.

  Talk to staff. I’m sure they can work this out.

  Wondered where you had been raincoaster.

  Do you have a rainbow-colored wig?

  No, my hair is naturally that colour.

  I’ve been in the hospital. I didn’t get the flowers you sent????

  Sorry to hear you were in the hospital, but glad you are out.

  RE the flowers: If I had known…

  So, for what it’s worth, I got fobbed off with “it isn’t us, mate; check the receiving sites”. Well, I’m not convinced. For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure it was changing the ‘sharing’ settings that did the damage, and undoing them that set things right again. I think that for the site that is still showing the anomalous posts, the bad feed data must be cached or something. At least, this is my best theory at the moment, and frankly, it doesn’t look like I’m going to get any help whatsoever from the WordPress geeks. So I hope that I’m right. But I’m disappointed they went for the easy answer of closing their eyes and pretending there isn’t a problem. Sigh. I guess the good news is it clearly isn’t a very big one, or they’d have heard from others.
