Much time has passed but I have no idea left. May well be that I know too few users.

@AbyssalMonkey Thank you, but mobile? I'm reading from my laptop with a regular internet connection. Does this work for laptops as well? @blackyawgdom Thank you. Now it works for me too but two hours ago this definitely wasn't the case.

Hello, that is already quite an old problem but I don't kow if it has ever been brought to attention. When a longstrip chapter consits of only one page instead of being divided into several, it inevitably fails to load no matter how often I try. The most recent example would be chapter 3 of...

Hello, I have witnessed several times today and also yesterday, I believe, that irregular gaps occur in some of the newer longstrip chapters, disregarding the fact that they seem to load very slow again for the first time in months. Those gaps can be seen as a white space occurring at the end...

Hello, I have experienced for several days now that the first chapter of a newly added manga is shown both on the "Home" page and the "Updates" page but when switching to the manga page you are shown the message "There are no chapters in your selected langage(s)." and if you open the reader it...

Well, Medieval music again, this time coming from the troubadours of Southern France. The instrumental piece "Novel amor" which translates into English as "New love" was composed by an anonymus around the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries and is here performed by Clemencic Consort. Classical...

Today I have chosen a dancing music 14th century Italy, an equally or even more troubled time if we think of the outbreak of the great plague in Europe. This "Saltarello No. 1" is performed by Ensemble Unicorn and could have been danced on the Medieval "Corona parties" which were not unheard of...

Today I have chosen "Portsmouth", an English country dance from the 11th edition of "Playford's Dancing Master" from 1701. The music is performed by The Broadside Band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz3RQid1WgI

My song of the day is a traditional Chinese folk song: "Love Song of Kang Ding". Since my favorite version was not avaliable on YouTube I have chosen the one sounding the most similar to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pBlnG2brFw

Today I have chosen "Tant ai amé c' or me convient haïr", a courtly love song composed by Conon de Béthune and performed by Sequentia. This is one example of the music of the trouvères, i.e. the troubadours of Northern France who sung in Old French. Classical music ahead! Era: Medieval...

My choice of the day is Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Op. 64, the "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, in E minor" particularly the first part "Allegro molto appassionato". Classical music ahead! Era: Romantic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_uA_W1wB5A

Today I have chosen traditional Andean music. This song called a "Kantu" is performed by Ichumanta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDXIr6gskoQ

Hello, this is now the xth day this week with MD loading terribly slow if at all (NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource/no picture symbol) between 19:00 and 21:00 CET. There is no problem with any other websites, thus the question if it could be a bug in MD or if it is because of...

My song of the day today features my favorite composer (and writer and artist) of all time: Anonymus! Active for centuries, no, millennia, they have left behind countless works in the musical, literary, and fine arts, some of which are on par with the most famous composers (writers, artists, you...

@pandascepter It depends. The Galápagos tortoise, Aldabra tortoise, and African spurred tortoise are usually to big to be kept in a terrarium but there are many smaller species too, though tortoises like any reptiles grow all their life. If one should go on walks with one's tortoise also...

My choice of the day is again an example of music archaeology. The "Melody from Hultebro" is a traditional Scandinavian folk tune performed by Ensemble Balticum on reconstructed Viking age instruments as part of the European Music Archaeology Project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JCl2HF5Ods

I am a dog person rather than a cat person and in my family we had and have both dogs and cats, among other animals. Cats are just too capricious for me, though the negative point with dogs for me is going on walks which I have a hard time doing due to my disability. If I could choose the animal...

Today I have chosen to temporarily leave our blue planet to meet "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" from "The Planets" composed by Gustav Holst. Classical music ahead! Era: Modernist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu77Vtja30c

My choice of the day, though of yesterday rather than today, is the beginning of "Pavaen en gagliarda 10" composed by Cornelis Schuyt, an early 17th century Dutch composer, and performed by Musica Amphion. The music itself shall tell the rest. Classical music ahead! Era: Baroque...
