  2. ted kelly I'm noticing that too.  Have to use a different method to get there.

  3. I've never used it.... seems easier just to type plus into the address bar.

  4. But - it's Monday. We have to panic and gripe about something dammit ! Jeremy
    And gene presley the link that used to be at the top of the page, new tab and gmail pages that took you to g+ has lost it's "+" and is no longer a link. Now you have to open the tic~tac~toe thingie and click on G+ from there.
    In other words - It's twice as hard to use the plus now. (woe is us)

  5. Oh...I have the circle I go to first set as my default page on browser startup since it's where I 90 percent of the time am going first when I open the browser...everything else Google is then in the launcher tab or I open a new tab for anything else...so I hadn't noticed

  6. My only question is -
    Who ever doesn't have a plus tab or three open anyway ? 
    Oh and I guess - Why ???

  7. I think Alan Bland figured it out. It was probably part of the Patriot Act and expired overnight. #randpaulkilledtheplus

  8. not by choice ted kelly but the practice of bundling community notifications all together makes me right click open in new tab so they all don't disappear when I respond to the first one

  9. ted kelly LMAO.....but i think they're going to change it to Gx-(3) divided by.....LOL  Then we're really going to wonder why or how....I'm laughing with you and that Alan Bland and wondering....

  10. Well you know - Alan is one of those photographer types. He "sees" things...

  11. ted kelly yep.  I saw it and figured just another change.....but now that y'all mentioned the Patriot Act I'd been wondering how it was going to affect us....Guess we might be seeing a little as companies and such adjust to things.  (after the gov. decides what they have to "Comply" with).
      I can figure out some logical stuff... but that leaves out government thinking.

  12. as soon as they figure out how to blame em...either the democrats or republicans are at fault...another case of "just pass it...we'll fix it later"

  17. As you all probably know, google plus is changing as we know it. It will be split into two entities.

  18. Like left twix and right twix ?

  19. I haven't had the +name in - months, possibly quarters.

  20. I lost it somewhere between last night and today on here and gmail and then on the new tab page around 11:00 or so today.

  21. I am trying to add this post to my new collection, entitled Google Plus Self-Destruction, but I cannot figure out how to do it quite yet.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think if you reshare it you can add it to your collection at the same time. Try the little down-arrow.

  23. Thanks Ted, I finally figured that out!

  24. Lisa Childs We're all just talking about the changes that g+ is making to the PHOTOs  part  of things. They are dropping google+ photos next month and replacing it with google photos instead.

  25. Official Google pronouncement: Google+ Photos isn’t going away.  https://support.google.com/plus/answer/6238059?hl=en

    ReplyDelete
  26. Photos definitely isn't going away - it was one of the main things at Google I/O.

  27. Thanks Dave DeBaeremaeker !   wait, you mean Google + Photos? Or Google Photos?

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's certainly going to change "The Hunt" though.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't think its gonna change it that much.   You can still share albums.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Will you be able to comment though on the photos ?

    ReplyDelete
  31. I knew about the changes coming. But I still see plus everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Have you got one next to your name here - or in gmail or maps ?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I've never had one here next to my name.
