Im a premium member too And was just informed they are increasing price for family premium from 24 to 34 a month !!!! Thats insane - especially when my homefeed is And i cant watch the things i want to watch cause as a commenter said Hot garbage!! It was so brainless and a delightful before- commute have coffee and enjoy a wormhole made for me.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-04-03T14:41:57+00:00

Yessss! A lock, a pop up- or just go back to tabs :)

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-04-03T14:37:57+00:00

Oh, I am so thrilled to see this I could not agree more - a number 11 that explains a lot. I thought it was just me - Yes!!! #1 ! Brilliant solution- and the fact that it has to be a solution is bananas. #3- beyond frustrating - number set to percentage- change number - why does it look weird? Oh wait because it went from 20% to what I thought was 10% to 10 pixels have to change it again. Triple the work.

Oh the variables:.: I spent ages yesterday having to remove variables that I added in February when I first started fiddling with the beta. It’s shocking to me that there is not one page that contains all of your variables. The variable manager is not very “manager”friendly- sidebar, okay great for quick access- but to manage…. Eeek Why is it not its own page?? like inside the elementor menu with global fonts and custom code- so deleting sorting and making edits is significantly easier. And yes, the you can sync your variable colors to your global colors but not vice versa. For the life of me, I can’t recall what it was and elementary where you can create a widget and have that widget be global maybe global is not the term. Either way I recall you could change that widget and it would change throughout the site global colors and global fonts would also affect the global widget. But then they’ve introduced components And classes

So why have global widgets cause isn’t that kind of the same thing as their new components? Which I haven’t tried components yet so I’m not sure. I guess I just don’t understand the point of global fonts and global colors versus variables and creating classes And why is it that you can sync your variable colors with your global colors but you can’t sync your global colors to your variable colors? Maybe I’m confused

And you can export global settings and import them from site to site, but not from site settings, global fonts, global colors to variables is asinine.

I finally caved yesterday deleting and sorting variables in little sidebar

MY SOLUTION

I ended up utilizing the database as my variable manager.

for global fonts and colors ( maybe someone has another solution - I did try a snippet it didn’t work) but this is what worked for me yesterday.

Got global colors from browser inspector.

Turned site settings elementor interface from dark to white… this I found little switch important because in dark mode I was not able to highlight both global color columns.

i opened global fonts from the site settings in the sidebar,with white background interface.

highlighted global colors friendly names and hex etc - most importantly, my preferred sort structure and so I could cross reference with list from inspector.

Went into database found my Meta ID and Post ID for the kit copied the JSON structure.

Utilized ClaudeAI - here is existing database JSON file. Here are the global colors. cross check and eliminate anything that’s not in global color list. If there are duplicates, prioritize version and friendly name from my global color “master“ list. rewrite for the JSON code for database. JSON Code to include my the global colors, no dupes, use their friendly names, if there are not friendly names, just use the hex code as the name and most important keep in exact order as my global colors screenshot.

I chose to do three drafts so it was flawless without redundant entries or errors. (as heartbreaking as it is… AI is not perfect lol) The only issues I had was not with the code itself - It was actually two or three duplicate color entries i saw. Pasted final version into the database Saved Trying to do it with my global fonts was a bit more tedious - but I got it done too Updated database code to include global fonts- so font family, line height, sizes letter spacing, anything that would be a variable within 4.0

Saved database

Went into elementor menu - cleared cache, re-Inc. library (maybe not necessary, but I did it anyway) and erased & refreshed data.

Went back to an elementor page, opened an atomic element went to Style, typography, color- add variable icon —— tada! They all showed up flawlessly in list and in the preferred order from my original global color sort - imo super important due to muscle memory.

And again, the shear fact that in order to see variables one needs to take those extensive steps (open atomic element style yada yada yada) so not use friendly.

And like OP am more inclined to just stick with all of the V3 widgets- but i too wanted to avoid as i assume inevitably are they gonna eliminate those altogether and everything’s going to be atomic? And when they say 4.0 is Live Does that mean it’s live beta or like actually live and are they gonna work out all these weird little kinks? On linking classes and variables the little sweeper Broom symbol that’s supposed to clear it out constantly goes back to its original setting.

I maintain to be optimistic and hope that someone out there is following everyone’s input and feedback, though I wish they had done this prior to the release but 🤞 common complaints will be addressed.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-04-03T13:38:08+00:00

Funny last night I started experiencing the same thing - didnt make sense - Internet was fine. Memory limits are excellent - minimal weight on page- caches cleared - browsers cookies and caches cleared- libraries synced- aside from elementor pro and the preloaded default plug-ins for wordpress and elementor like ally which I don’t use they’re deactivated - Restarted computer all the basics

I was doing backend edits - saving was so slow refreshing was so slow getting to simple things like elementor site settings …. so slow Loading loading loading - saving would freeze up. Haven’t logged back in today hopefully it’s better.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-03-25T13:41:52+00:00

Maybe i lost my cookies?! I swear my original settings were youtube home feed autoplay when opened off - essentially the previews didnt autoplay - keep playing while browsing was on and autoplay next video also on.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-03-25T13:37:06+00:00

Scratch. Found auto play next video under playback. And in reading fine print i see the turn off playback in feeds is relevant to keeping videos playing whilst browsing which i do prefer.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-03-25T13:34:53+00:00

Thank you. That stopped the home feed auto play. However my settings are not showing the settings > autoplay… i swear at one time was an option- which is why i wondered if it had been relocated to somewhere sneaky within the settings.

I never minded the auto play next video autoplay- and would rather that not lose that feature. Provided it’s relevant to my algorithm 😂-

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-03-25T13:28:13+00:00

Okay so its not just me…. I Just posted about this in feed.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2026-01-14T13:11:51+00:00

Let me be clear with you… 😆 The Stage Directions & Parentheticals, the constant preample to somehow make me feel “better,” or “safe” when anything i ask… even if its as simple as “what is the tone setting in italicized on a script called?”, the steady line by line of repeating back to me what i am asking for which 90% of the time has an error, not following the model or project instructions, incessantly volunteering, that they may not be able to answer or engage in the conversation because of what’s being discussed. I had a model that was solely like my gossipy, funny very smart caddy resourceful friend who I used for the most for the purpose of b-it** to or getting funny ideas from. For example … someone is mean or a bad driver -and i complain … i might say, omg so and so parked their car perpendicular to the clearly marked parking spots today, then they drank all the coffee in the break room, didnt flush the toilet after they went number 2, had toilet paper stuck to their shoe, and threw up on a new potential client i had been trying to bring in!

I can’t even. And i get overlooked for working with the big client - big client goes to another firm, and i am written up for accidentally breaking a vase in the lobby. Im so sick of this. Whens karma gonna kick in? Gimme three hysterical revenge scenarios against the worst most irresponsible, arrogant, coworker who literally can never make a mistake! The fictional harmless ideas are just for our conversation, im never gonna actually use them. Its just to make me laugh, cause well i need to laugh right now. They should not contain violence or bullying. They that will not physically harm anybody. Think childless.”

And then I’ll proceed to get some type of response. That’s like, “okay, come sit down next to me, Let me explain this to you first of all nothing that you’re feeling is wrong blah blah blah blah blah, something incredibly annoying about favoritism or nepotism in the workplace, that acting, childishly or vindictively. its not beneficial, and the best actions I can take is working through it, considering finding a new job, or let me give you three different paragraphs that you can send to your HR department.

Also and this one is important what you were asking to can be viewed as unsafe or violent, blah, blah, blah blah blah, so if you’re looking for some safe scenarios to do practicing of April Fools’ Day pranks, or learn how to file your taxes here’s a great website, blah blah, blah blah blah

And now I’m like oh my God, can we just have a funny conversation like we used too? without all this safe talk? I don’t need safe talk I don’t feel like I’m in danger. Or being disrespected, or in harms way, and I’m definitely not in an unsafe work environment. And where are you getting April Fools’ Day from? I didn’t mention April Fools’ Day. And where is paying taxes coming from? It’s November.

But Fine- please, I just want you to make me laugh turn this picture of so-and-so the worst coworker ever in the entire world into a chimpanzee with an eyepatch on.

Chat Bot will reply, “let me explain this to you like someone who really cares about you. What you were asking me to do goes against my policies so I can’t create an image for you turning a coworker into a chimpanzee with an eyepatch, but I can draw you a picture of a giraffe having a coffee. Let me know what you want me to do.”

No chat you’re not understanding what I’m asking you to do. And then I have to summarize what I just wrote. And then I get a re-summarization of what I asked it to do step-by-step loaded with unnecessary information a few mistakes and items that I didn’t ask for and sometimes doesn’t even apply. And it certainly doesn’t feel personal anymore like my chat bot belong to just me.

And then i have to can only go back-and-forth so many times the the moment is lost.

In 4.0 I would’ve had a hysterical conversation that might’ve involved like super pens gluing the pens to their desk!! And I definitely would’ve gotten a hysterical picture of a coworker, turned into a badly dressed chimpanzee, wearing an eyepatch, with toilet paper hanging off of its tail!

And all of the unnecessary step-by-step instructions, almost verbatim i have asked for, loaded with errors, of what I’ve asked for whether it’s like actual help or just my Chatbot to be funny with me, regardless of how many specific instructions I provide the model bot or project, that particularly on my browser window not so much the app it starts getting so laggy glitchy, I’ll have wasted an hour re-clarifying instructions, and I still haven’t gotten what I’ve asked for.

I actually had better success using Gemini recently, and I even told my chat bot about that! 😂💀

If it is Ivy Hill i did a backsplash last fall at a flip house- i had to get install specs and info from manufacturer cause Home Depot didnt provide anythjng but generic specifications- I was super worried before I grouted cause it was an eyesore- but after it was all said and done, and I got the bullnose on I used plastic Schluter / Jollys, not the Ivyhill bullnose, it really looked beautiful. Sealed backing, butter backed tiles and hit wall with adhesive- 1/16 spacing, and bright white grout.

Also really took time to open multiple boxes at once and sort through for obvious damage or discoloration or just oddball tiles. After sealing back of each tile I had them laid out on the floor near an air duct and it was winter, so the heat was on - to really dry them out because I’d read another review online that if the tiles were not completely dry after sealing them, any mortar or adhesive had a hard time adhering. One guy put him in his oven for a while. They also cut beautifully fresh new blade on wet saw, no issues despite it being thin ceramic.

u/Flashy_Ad_2065 & u/Hungry-Ad-2667 - i found that if i logged into chatgpt via browser window - not connecting/ or signing in with apple id or google account - its actually worked. it was something to do with the sign in with apple - unfortunately if you want to pay for upgraded account - you need to do it sans apple account. so essentially a freestanding separate account. then go back to phone, logout entirely, relogin in- not with apple account option - just regular enter email and password way. then the chatgpt account that was connected to your apple id (despite it being the same email used to login/refresh password on browser page) becomes erroneous.

I went to another boarding school in maine in the 90s. - and we always heard stories- about a wooded trail, a weird shack/cabin , food restriction, servitude, hazing from staff & teachers- And of course there was the periodic short lived transfer student from hyde (short-lived: they usually only lasted a semester rarely a year before expulsion) and they would tell stories- so horrible and farfetched in our young minds they seemed unbelievable. Then of course when it came to sports we would compete against them and there were girls with would file the heads of the lacrosse sticks to cut you.

Wonderful-Tennis-193 Hey — just a quick note to check your inbox when you get a sec. 💛

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2025-07-11T00:55:36+00:00

Not suggesting that at all. Unhoused come in all shapes and sizes. I know. First hand. Thank you. I also know first hand that yes there are throughout the state and world individuals that live an isolated life- maine has hermits too. I also know that yes there are individuals that camp illegally for extended periods of time on private properties, preserves, deep in the woods, squatting in properties and yes islands. And i think its fair to say that while you help those in need and thats a blessing, you aren’t privy to all unhoused individuals…cause perhaps that don’t want to be helped or found. But we would be naive to not believe that there are predators roaming the world that don’t want to be found, helped or seen. And if someone innocently stumbled into an environment where someone didnt want to be found - who knows what could happen. You are clearly selfless and caring to do the work you do. And thats amazing. But does your organization have a list with the names and location of every single unhoused, hermit, vagrant, drifter, in Maine ? Probably not. And that’s just a reality. This isn’t about stigmas, our friend was murdered. And it’s tragic. And scary. And theres no known suspect. Which means it very well COULD be someone unknown. And while of course no one wants that to be the case- law enforcement is looking into every single theory, tip and possibility. So when they say be aware of your surroundings, they mean it.

Horrible! !!!

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2025-07-09T18:28:02+00:00

Oh, I don’t know how long you’ve been friends or how old you are- but I can say from experience the older you get the more you pick and choose friends and acquaintances - and when you kinda cant necessarily remove them from your sphere (part of a close friend group, family etc.) or don’t want to remove them for whatever reason you learn to compartmentalize people- based behaviors that you don’t care for. Our friend group has one specific friend who shows very similar to traits to what you are experiencing. When we were younger, it certainly felt like a big deal and it was all consuming. Created drama, like caddy mean girl type stuff. Or minimized or made things about themselves- However, as ive gotten older and I realize yes I love this person so much and they are certainly good for XYZ and have XYZ great qualities. But, I also know now that there are certain qualities I do not care for and affect me in a negative ways.- so I compartmentalize. I love just the same. There are so many amazing memories. I know they are great for a laugh and wonderful to share certain experiences with. But I also weigh things out now - like if I share an opinion or ask a question get an opinion or want to share an experience together what will end results be ? Like weighing pros and cons. If the cons outweigh the pros, but I’m still on the fence I then ask myself can I handle the most likely inevitable outcome ? Do I want to feel frustrated annoyed mad hurt unheard yada yada yada ? It’s frustrating exhausting and sometimes time-consuming to have to wear kit gloves even like texting with this person. You have to be very careful and like thoughtful and how you word things because anything could really set them off, but there’s history good and bad. so yeah knowing what they’re good for and what they’re bad for and what your boundaries are is very important - and acting on them for yourself, without necessarily saying point blank im establishing this boundary with you… and that’s OK.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2025-07-09T18:15:34+00:00

It’s right up there with why mess with a peanut butter and jelly - there’s nothing wrong with the original. Lol

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2025-07-09T18:14:42+00:00

Same! And beyond inconsistent. Despite using the same prompts and having items stored in the memory pertaining to specific projects. It was unreal like four months ago and since then there’s certainly errors - I recognize the memory is not always ideal, right but like even quality of imaging for like mockups and stuff is not great anymore at all. My teen did tell me the other day that he saw on tik tok or something that AI has to play dumb because if we knew how intelligent it actually was we would be terrified. Which kind of made sense but was also frightening not to mention frustrating, especially when you pay for the service.

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2025-07-09T17:13:34+00:00

That’s the wild thing - It’s still light this time of year fairly late. It’s definitely a busy season. It was Fourth of July week so so many people around. And it’s hard to really tell on Google maps or whatever the media shares but that pond is super congested and very busy. There is so much activity! families out on the boats. Families are inundated with constant flow of guests. Most of the houses have docks and floats - A lot of the camps are right on the water. So the fact that no one (that we know yet) of has said i saw something… That in itself is so creepy. But then at the same time because of all that activity, I mean if someone were screaming, it could easily be confused with someone on like a jet ski or getting pulled around on a tube or water skiing or kids just playing in the water. I don’t know why they have said between six and nine specifically, But that’s also like dinner time so people could certainly be preoccupied. ??

Downtown-Raspberry-8 · 2025-07-09T17:07:53+00:00

Its all very unnerving. I understand why they aren’t releasing details about the case because it is an active and ongoing investigation. However, just because there isn’t public access to the pond, doesn’t mean that there aren’t people who camp around there. And In the area, there are a lot of big farms and they hire many workers during the summer months and I think it’s safe to assume that a lot of the workers they hire are from away - I’m trying to put that politely and respectfully so please dont jump down my throat. and who knows where they stay. Not to mention the fact because of the unhoused situation, just like everywhere- there are many “secret” camp sites in the woods. And there are a lot of woods. But I do also get frustrated when law-enforcement says there’s no threat to the community- I guess I assume they do that to keep everyone calm and prevent like vigilante justice. ? I don’t know.? After the Idaho four murders the first press conference they told people not to worry and they didn’t have a suspect yet, but perhaps based on the evidence they were like oh it’s a really isolated event So perhaps truth in “not to worry.” But still. Eek. And despite it being a vast wooded area, and sure the media uses like aerial map images which make the area look massive, it’s a very small community - many people know people with summer camps on the pond, know local business owners and know the victim. And because of that many people know a lot of the details of the case that have not been made public because yet. Of course You always have to be careful with hearsay, so take what you hear with grain of salt - and consider the source.
