what web browser are you using pp?

I'm a real numbskull when it comes to computers. However, I've looked up the definition of browser and from the examples they've given I'm using iGoogle and MSN UK. Does that make sense?

what icon do you click to launch the internet? actually, just hover your mouse cursor over it and it should tell you..

Definitely the first one. Then MSN covers the desktop...

I'm so, so, sorry I can't tell you anymore.

No, doesn't help matters. If Max asks a simple question I expect a helpful reply, especially with computers.

No, don't think I follow that. Max wasn't asking a question...

But anyhoo – so you're using Internet Explorer: have a look at this post by Mr Duncan, late of this parish...

He asked what browser I was using... that, to me, is a question.

Had a quick look at JD's thread and I'll give it a crack later.

I thought you were responding to his Captain Mainwaring comment.

The two are linked. Max's respone was: pp's one probably looks like this... followed by Mainwaring caption.

Usually I take jokes (water off a duck's back). No probs. When it comes to computers, I've had such a ruff (PC) time recently, I'm looking at constructive help as opposed to mickey taking.

Sorry for sounding a bit gruff. No disrespect to Max or your good self, but this mod-tech is pretty depressing when one has no understanding...

That's okay - I've put the cushion away now... 😉

And any minute now you'll wake up and wonder where all the marshmallows have gone.

That sounds very 'flower powerish'.

Aaanyway, me thinks I'm getting the hang of this computer minefield. Dunno. Possibly. Not made it any worse, anyway.

I've just tried to post a reply on the Norwich City thread and had the response that my post is 'in a queue for moderation by an administrator'. Is this because I have posted 2 links in quick succession? Will the system learn to stop doing this to me?

 

[Andrew Everard]

Is this because I have posted 2 links in quick succession?

Very likely, yes.

Will the system learn to stop doing this to me?

Eventually, yes.

I've sussed the cache and cookie problem. To me it's like cracking the 'Enigma'.

i tried to post on the what are you listening to thread earlier (around 5pm), didn't work first time, or second.

no big deal or anything, just said i'd mention it...

oh. each post contained a link to spotify, just in case that may be relevant...

Probably because you now have a new ISP and your new router has a different IP address.

possibly, though i've been using the new ISP since wednesday with no problems (apart from getting the AEX to integrate.

not sure if i've posted a link on here during that time though, maybe that's relevant..
