Jackson Jambalaya

I love this website and being able to post anonymously. I would like to be able to say bad things and derogatory words without a monitor (waiting for my comment to be approved). I do not believe in being censored.

Free beer for best comment

Hopefully the ability to dislike is also on the list.

How about a nominal subscription fee for users to skip the adds and/or have comments not require approval?

I do not believe in being censored.

How often, if at all, have you contacted all the other media outlets in Mississippi to tell them the same? If you don't want to be censored, find some stones (a big ask) and start your own gig. It is free to do so. There is nothing stopping you. Put in some actual effort behind your big whiny mouth.

So you'll pay for all KF's legal fees when the comments you want auto-green lighted result in a lawsuit?

I love it the way it is now. Especially the simplicity.

I have started my own thing, it is called X.com. This is elon musk speaking. I am about to buy Jackson and find you. Once I find you, I am going to make you my 8th baby mama

Actually I like it just like it is as well.

No flashy design is a plus imo.

Also moderation is not a horrible thing. KF not only minimizes code brown comment cleanups, but he can always preview the best tips and info before deciding when and whether or not to post the comment.

Will the new design allow the use of the word "skreets" when appropriate? Thanks!

Onward and upward! Your site is appreciated by many, and I am among them. Thanks Brother….Write On!

More titty videos.

Simple is always better.

"Psych. Do you really think I will do that?" hahahahaha

I like the website and the way you run it. You've done a great job. Why mess with it.

Glad you added that asterisk. ...because we've stopped clicking on DailyMail, NY Post, Rumble, and Odysee, in recent months, precisely because of all the pop-ups, etc. I think your site is pretty-damned-perfect, precisely as it is, right now.

Your blog, plus Substack, are about all that's left.

The antiquation is what makes the site so lovable. But I would enjoy a "like" button. Great move.

I enjoy your website and there are no complaints!

Maybe a "like" button to a comment? You use to do some funnies on the site and was just outright funny. I forgot what you called it

@12:53 PM - I second that suggestion. More T&A.

I like it like it is. Maybe require people to use a user name, not to find out there ID, but so the comments aimed at people can be followed. the time reference works somewhat, but if folks had a username, they could build their online personas. I'm not sure, just a thought. Great website and I check multiple times a day.

Whatever you do, don't make the same same mistakes as the Clarion Ledger, which just revamped its website & made a mess of everything. It used to be readable & easy to access. As for JJ, I like what you're doing. You're the only outlet that allows comments - a real strength. The CL & Mississippi don't allow comments any more, so you have a real competitive advantage.

To save money, you can get rid of Sid Salter - he has little to say - he already has a full time job & doesn't need the money.

All the old farts want to leave it like it is.

I would suggest making SCRIB documents as clickable links. I usually get the info of the story in your summaries. If I want to read the related documents then I could, if not then I wouldn't have difficulty scrolling through all your entries.

It works too well just like it is to require any changes. However, I do like the idea of a private free speech section with no censorship.

How about making the text larger and easier to read? I have zoom in on Chrome to even be able to read it.

Easier to send specific articles by emails or print out

I'm with 12:38. I appreciate the simplicity, as it is now. Change is always good, though, as long as it doesn't become complicated. Aside from the accurate/quick reporting, the simplicity of the website is truly the highlight of JJ.

Perfect as is. No notes.

Please put the most recent comments at the top of the comments list, not at the end of the list. Thanks

Maybe have an anonymous "tip box" set up like a comment box where people can drop dimes and hints for stories without having to send an email.

Downvotes? Is this a move to see how many people hate me? Would be a shame to become the most hated poster of the four or six who post stuff here. However, since you pay the bills for the site, and my incredibly large salary, I guess whatever you decide will be OK. You could have "Gold Level" membership for those willing to send you some gold. If I did that, I would accept gold bars only, no coins or melted down wedding rings accepted. just a suggestion, Mr. Fish.

Please allow more of my posts. It makes me feel bad when I put so much thought and feelings in my post and you do not post them.

I like anonymous comments but it would be cool to have personalities in the comments. so at least make it relatively easy to have a username. if someone comments multiple times it would be good to know. i guess this is called a message board. make a message board

I'm not a fan of the up/down votes either. Just another way for some to be asses.

Part of the charm is the outdated character of the site. Although there are a few substantive portions that are going on 15 years now (i.e., what was Trollfest?).

oh wow so you are just going to turn this into a dark horse press clone with moderated comments?

Leave it be

@12:37, please list all of the lawsuits 4chan has lost for having anonymous, unmoderated comments.

👍🏻 👎🏻

I have that problem too. I just change the zoom to 110% if I'm having problems. Have to do that to a few different websites.

An “I’d hit it” button. Thanks
G.

Maybe put an invisible shock collar on Chowke activated by a shock button located at the start of each thread covering his weekly presser. (Might need a large capacity battery on that collar).

It ain't broke. Don't break it.

so at least make it relatively easy to have a username

There is nothing stopping you from commenting with a username right now. NOTHING.

Keep it simple. No one is here because of design consideration now as I suspect anybody is not here because of the same. Don't make it any harder to access and refer to JJ archives. There is a wealth of information there after 18 years. Keep excess white space to a minimum.

Dude you you are going to ruin your golden goose.

Here is my recommendation:
Leave the “normal” webpage EXACTLY the way it is. But pay a developer to make a good mobile page. Your page sucks for mobile but is perfect on the desktop.
Now you have your two versions and everyone is happy.

Can you either remove or repair the links to the Clarion Ledger? They’ve not updated since September 2023.

you just hit on something. Rss feeds are fading away and it's gotten hardy to get RSS links that work. What people wrote about the readibility of this site on a mobile phone is true as well. It would be nice to have a mobile version

I'm just thankful you still do this. I'll be happy no matter what it looks like.

Sears and KMart upgraded, WalMart did not. Take a lesson and leave thing as they are now.

More fake ads where you pretend you are sponsored by nice places and in reality they don’t pay a dime. And more racist materials. Not near enough of that. Maybe add a map section to where people you don’t like live? And also maybe have a link to a gofundme for jackson haters.

" Downvotes? Is this a move to see how many people hate me? "

Oh come on poly-bear!
Don't be funny/sarcastic.
Most of us look forward to your Friday posts.

But since YOU brought it up ... a little constructive criticism may be in order.
Keep your recipes simple and reduce the amount of photos. (We all know what pasta looks like at Kroger).

I lament the passing of comment sections on the local broadcast media outlets. But I can understand why WLBT, WJTV, WDAM ditched them: because too often comments pointed out errors, sloppy reporting, and just plain slanted coverage. I’m glad to see comments will remain.

Uncensored comments is my gold standard. Unfortunately, however, it’s not the uncensored comments that are a problem so much as it is a tiny, thin-skinned minority who take as an offense any mention whatever that isn’t adulatory. These moneybag censors are more persistent and irritating than any uncensored lout.

I’d ask for none but don’t expect to have my wish granted to have nothing appear about football. So I ask instead for half the football goofies, and I thank you in advance.

Less SNL. Bill Mahar is tolerable, if you must. And as to Sid Salter’s weekly regurgitation of some special interest group’s talking points, please put a big gold wig on your head and tell him, “Sid, you’re fired.”

I appreciate you having the quick option to post anonymously - mainly because I don't want retaliation for reasonable complaints. LOVE Stuff About ZeroBear PolyBear posts and have some great recipes from him. Hoping the upcoming elections tones down the problems... you have helped disseminate the ugly truth of Jackson politics.

The "ABOUT" section hasn't worked for a while.

It's could be an opportunity for people to get a clue or two if they are so inclined.

For example: ABOUT section could answer whether Jackson Jambalaya is wit tomatos or witout tomatos.

Maybe add a brief FAQ section as well.

* Why wasn't my comment published??

Mr. Bear, ignore the post about reducing the photos. The pics are helpful to us kitchen simpletons. I love your articles.

update the RSS feeds, TheRezNews and N Miss Commentator have been dead for years,

AI summary of comments. Ain't nosy got time to read about how all these losers feel. Gimme the highlights. The overarching narrative. Also, someone may have already said this but I didn't read the previous 56 comments: Like/Dislike Button. Oh oh one more - make it clear that someone is praising their own comments when they are posting pretending to be another person.

" I lament the passing of the local broadcast media"

Agreed !

I lament the passing of Bob Neblett and Woody Assaf.

When I indicate a desire to comment by clicking the comment link, I have to scroll through fifty posts in order to get to the comment space.

Recommend Kingfish wake up on the same side of the bed each morning instead of letting each of his multiple personalities determine, daily, which posts are approved, and which are not and stop being a bitch when someone submits something that disagrees with or riles you.

Can you add "up or down" buttons (icons) to make it easier to scroll through an entire article or multiple articles to reach the beginning or end of the article? I'm not explaining this very well and don't know the technical terminology but maybe someone here will know what I'm talking about.

Please do not post repulsive video’s or pictures! Being able to like or reply to comments is going to open the gates of hell! Bring it on!

If I don't have my readers with me , I can't use my phone here. YET I can on other sites like DM and BB.

Add a BULLSHIT button.

8:00 Hopefully a non hostile response to your post - My recipes are what they are. Some are simple and some are more complex. However, all of them are what I cook. If I posted only Bean-e-weenie dishes, which I like and don't make nearly often enough, folks would quickly get tired of reading, "Open a can of this and heat until it simmers for three minutes, then spoon into a bowl and crumble some crackers over the top. My experience is to treat every recipe as a stand-alone post and to do that, I need to show boiling water with pasta cooking every time I do that to make a dish. You are correct, I hardly ever buy my Pasta anywhere other than Kroger and the small grocery on Northside, or Walmart. My belief is that If I posted three photos, Folks would lose interest. Just think of it as food pornography and avert your eyes, I guess. Maybe Mr. Fish could find a second recipe PosterBear who does everything simple. Here is a secret. I always Liked Piggly Wiggly and have been guilty of disguising my fondness by calling it Hoggly Woggly.

9:19 Thanks. Sometimes I wonder. When I thought that, I erased my photo recipe for Peanut butter and raisin Sandwiches. It is a classic, originating for me in 1953 that I still eat once or twice a week, usually after 9:00 pm. Most of the time as a folded billfold size treat. I am not a big jelly fan.

Change for the sake of change never ends well. Leave it be!!
