You know Haley, it is our nature, we guess to post comments when we disagree with someone. Yet IRead More have to give you a secular AMEN for your 2:54pm statement. We would think that anyone over the age of say, twenty, would already know that, but progress is being made.The strategy of tension rules the process now, by design. HRM
Michael Haley May 22, 2013 at 02:54 pm
Michael, yes our government is immoblized by partisanship, electing the other side will do nothingRead More to stop that at this point.
Ron May 22, 2013 at 02:08 pm
Obama supportors will insist that he had nothing to do with any of the scandals but no one knowsRead More that yet. Even if he didn't have anything to do with the scandels directly normally the president takes at least some responsiblity what happens in his administration. Maybe Obama will be able to get away with his defense so knowing nothing. It's working great with his people who will support him no matter what, but I don't it will work with everyone else.

Keri, I'm not frustrated that I don't have a profile pic, I'm frustrated that I'm not able to do itRead More myself. I can wait until it works properly so I can find one that fits the itty-bitty round format.
Gary Thompson May 20, 2013 at 03:58 pm
I think with any new technology whether it be an upgrade or new platform, there are always going toRead More be bugs. it's just the nature of technology. I personally like this new layout and understand that there will be bugs to fix. Looking good Napa Valley Patch!!

Hi Steve: Sorry about this. I'm as frustrated as you are. Could you email me your profile photo andRead More I will just ask the tech people to upload it for you? Please send to keri.brenner@patch.com. Thanks,

Michael - I do get the printed paper. I just refuse to pay for a double subscription online. I didRead More find ways around that, though.

Harold, What I was getting at, I also know of other events that never get posted. 18 months ago,Read More women were getting robbed at gunpoint in the parking garages downtown - no reports.

Thanks Keri.

This should be removed. He was located in the Northwest and contacted his family.
MICHAEL WILSON May 20, 2013 at 08:40 am
Ya Wendy I do hope he returns. I am not sure why the police are calling him a runaway
Wendy Garcia May 20, 2013 at 05:17 am
He is NOT a runaway. This kid is MISSING and his family needs police assistance to find him.

Keri, I have heard from the tech people, and my instructions were to clear cache, erase cookies,Read More reboot, etc. All things having to do with my computer, not with the website. I get the same issues on two different computers at different homes as well as my iPad that is logged on anywhere. Pretty sure it is not on my end. There are far too many things that are a step down from previous site. Examples: Can't seperate paragraphs in comments, no "reply" option on comments makes it difficult to know who is responding to whom, itty-bitty profile avatars smaller than a pea, green on everything makes features less distinguishable, on and on.
Keri Brenner (Editor) May 18, 2013 at 06:45 pm
Hi USS and MW The tech people are making fixes every day. If you can give me specific bugs, withRead More links, please do so so that I can let them know. Thanks for your patience....

I believe it's going to be discussed at the Napa County Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, May 21, 9Read More a.m. Hope to get some info. then. Thanks.

To me It looks like a Lock. KR has done a great job getting it going He still has a long road to goRead More on the project. I will be glad to see work start.
MICHAEL WILSON May 17, 2013 at 10:34 am
Yes I think so I had to add a whole new profile
Loui Loui May 17, 2013 at 10:02 am
Do we have to reupload it?

People hate change, that's why it's empty.
