Thank you Titan, WebDiva and Rosebloom!


Okay, does anyone else other than Enerchi see everything in my thread bolded? It *was* underlined for me, before, too, but I'm not seeing it anymore. I also noticed the cursor is different on my page, and if I click *anywhere* in the text, it brings me to another thread from years ago…..


I flagged this to the moderators, and Ella responded saying she doesn't see anything wrong? She suggested I log out and back in.. and I did that. It's still weird? And it's not doing it to anyone else's thread, for me.

I saw the first 8 or 9 posts were in bold font, and then the rest are not. Weird.

ETA: Okay, now this is really odd, everything appears in bold now.

Oh, phew! I was thinking I had a virus or something! As long as I'm not crazy!

If you click on the text of anyone's bolded text.. does it link you to another thread? If I click *anywhere*, I get linked to a thread from 2003! This one in particular: https://www.pricescope.com/forum/rockytalky/looking-for-0-8ct-f-vvs1-around-4500-t6411.html. Soooo weird!

The text has changed every time I've visited the thread! When I responded, it was everyone before me who had bolded AND underlined text. But mine showed normal. When I came back later, mine was bolded and underlined as well, but there were some who posted after me that were normal. Then a bit later, they were all normal EXCEPT your very first post, M. And now, they're all bolded and underlined, every single one.

And yes, all of the underlining of text comes up as a link to the thread you posted.



Color me puzzled.

 

[GemFever]

Text, pics, and everything looks fine on my comp.

What an amazing stone and a great story. Congrats on finding this beauty!

Also, thanks for that interesting info on Chinese culture. How cool that you were able to find the perfect stone (with the perfect spread ) and with the right numbers!

 

[NKOTB]

Great photo shoot, and mmmmmmmmarvelous stone!

It's normal now, yay!!! Let's hope it stays this way I was getting annoyed that I kept accidentally clicking then linking to another thread!

Thanks for the compliment our whole union will be super mixed in cultures. I'm Italian, German and Chinese, and he's middle eastern. I have no idea how I'll pull off a super diverse wedding and incorporate so many different traditions! Lol!!

I'm so glad it's now fixed and that I wasn't just imagining things

Looks so amazing M..!! It makes me think my 9.5mm is SMALL. You know you need to get some macro shots of that thing though right? RIGHT? I want to see that yummy faceting pattern up close!

those shots were the best I can get. SO so brilliantly lost track of where he placed his zoom/macro lens? Whatever it's called. I think I have to buy a cheapy point and shoot digicam. Any recs?

And nonsense! 9.5 is just a hair smaller. Your fingers are so much tinier, it looks much bigger on you than mine does on me! I need finger lipo!! Lol

 

[armywife13]

I need finger lipo!! Lol

If you find someone to do it, I''m in need of some major finger lipo too! When I saw the pictures Erica sent me, I was jealous of how big my ring looked on her! Darn size 8 fingers dwarfing everything.

Thst being said, I am pretty sure your 10 mm OEC in a halo is going to look amazingly large on your finger-no lipo needed!

 

[whatamiwithoutapurpose]

What a beautiful stone!

LOL!!! Can you imagine? I was reading about how brides are now getting N-G tubes down their noses to diet, and getting botox in their armpits to prevent sweating on their big day. I am pretty darn sure there are people getting lipo on their fingers!!! LOL! Hell, I'm waxing the little fuzzies on mine so they don't look disgusting in my handshots!

But that's totally why I'm getting it in a tilted halo. I want it tilted so it isn't face up THAT big.. ish.. and saucer-like. But I still need some extra oomph and sparkle. Cover up these fingers!! My fingers dwarf everything too

 

[madelise]

What a beautiful stone!

[audball]

Awwww, thanks love for finding her for me!!!! *E-hugs*

 

[Dreamer_D]

LOVE it and great photos! It looks very white in the pictures, a GIA M is a really nice color -- can look so white and also so warm.

I only use a cheapy point and shoot! It will have a macro mode, a little flower icon. Click that and then get within about 6-8 inches of the stone. Then crop the picture more once you load it in the computer so the WHOLE image is just diamond. VOILA great macro photos.

 

[ForteKitty]

Amazing stone! I cannot wait to see her in the new home.

 

[Indylady]

Gorgeous!!

Ps. I would be so scared to do a photoshoot with an unset diamond that stunning!

 

[Phdecorate]

I am still drooling over your huuuuge beauty, I can't wait to see the finished version!!

 

[Snicklefritz]

It's sooooo beautiful, Madelise! I am very excited for you! Can't wait to see her set!

Ooh which cheapy P&S do you use? I might want to find a used one off Amazon or eBay..

Thanks! You know.. we still haven't met up I'm always happy for bling-meets!

Indylady! They're calling for you over on the LIW side!

I was scared, but there were a lot of people around us that would have either nabbed a pickpocket or at least gotten a great description. SO is pretty fit, so I have no doubt he would have made it quite difficult to get away with. +We did a switcheroo. I brought it in in my purse, and put it away in my purse. We secretly moved it to his possession, but I still left with my purse worn cross-body, and held close to me.
