CAL + DON

I finally discovered the reason that led to the confusion

The original first post announcing the extra points
is buried on page 3 on my iPad

The Horse Racing Goddess
Entered my mind with a suggestion
“ Try Going Back Into Previous Pages “

She Was Absolutely Correct

You might be right about the goblins, although I think I would call them gremlins. Often times I have to sign in 3 or 4 times before it finally recognizes me and lets me in and often when I post it tells me I have already posted and have to wait 30 seconds between posts even though it is my first attempt at posting. Steve B. said awhile back that there were problems. Maybe this is what he was talking about. Computers sometimes seem to have a mind of their own. Artificial Intellegence, I guess, at its finest.

You don’t have to talk to me about technical issues on this site

A
If you have more than 4 emoticon’s the notice says you cannot post

B
If I go back and edit anything I’ve posted
It immediately transforms all of my emoticons into??
NO OTHER SITE DOES THAT

After being held without fans last year, the Kentucky Derby welcomed more than 51,000 fans to Churchill Downs in Louisville on Saturday. It was the largest crowd to gather at a U.S. sporting event since the coronavirus pandemic began.

The official attendance at this year’s Derby was 51,838, according to organizers.
The number is a fraction of the 150,000 or more fans who typically fill the stands at the annual event;

but, as local reporters pointed out, the Derby crowd was still larger than the 47,218 people who attended the University of Alabama’s spring football game
in mid-April — which, at the time, had been dubbed the most crowded sporting event in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic.
