At least we didn't panic! lol  The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!
At least we didn't panic!
HeeHee! I did :) I started IMing Ares, I thought it was my puter :)
We ran to the coolertimes chat room.
so it wasn't only me? I thought maybe lance was back with a vengence.

see!! i always knew i was the messiah!
seriously though, i'm actualyl working out the kinks on something based on phpbb i've got directly under coolercrew.com. i'm waiting for the next version of the software to come out, as it is supposed to support sub-folders like we've got here, and a bunch of other things. i'll have to track down mods for per-forum and per-thread access control. and we'll have something set up, like so many other groups around here do, as a backup for the site.
I finally figured out mu puter, One of those stupid search bars got downloaded (probably when I started with those stupid yeti games) All Fixed now and running smoothly :)
LL, I say stop using Internet Explorer and use Firefox.
Is that a browser? Where do I get it? what's different between that and internet explorer?
You can get just the Firefox browser http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/or the whole Mozilla Suite http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/which includes e-mail and HTML editor....
Click the link that says "Mark as Read".
Oh, and you might want to turn cookies off in your preferences.
Agreed, I finally made the switch to Firefox. Was a little leery as they originally didn't have a port for the yahoo toolbar (I use the bookmarks on yahoo, that way I can save any interesting pages at work and view em at home). But they created a port of it now. Takes a little getting used to, but in the end, it's just a web browser. And most web viruses target IE, so firefox is a good deterrent.
can I open IE and firefox at the same time???
Sure, I have that going right now
can I open IE and firefox at the same time???
Yep.
You can also install Netscape Navigator/Communicator, and have four browsers working at once.
IE is still my least favorite browser.
I just didn't want to download firefox this week and be screwed if I had issues.....(next week)
You won't have any issues.
Nah, as far as installs go, firefox was pretty smooth and non invasive. Whenever you install another browser, you need to have a default one (whenever you open a saved link in windows, it opens in the default browser). Just pay attention to that setting on install
I'm sure I won't after you said that I can have it and IE open at the same time...
I was just worried about Firewalls, Virus protections, etc....
Virus protection is more computer based than browser. Security settings are pretty much setup on install, and the defaults in firefox are usually fine. Shouldn't have a problem with a firewall, anything you see in IE should popup in firefox.
I use Safari it kills pop up's, the best browser I have ever used.
And you don't have to buy a Mac either.
:-)
firefox = good stuff
Shut up THX, you pc punk=)
I have had installed several times but always un install it!!! ITs slow and is always searching for plugins to play anything java or flash or whatever.....
Â
I love the idea and the premise and even like how it imports my faves and alphatizes them - but bottom line ot me is ITS TOO FRICKIN SLOW TO OPEN PAGES AND PICTURES!!
AM I missing something here?
Yes you are a Mac LOL
IE with service pack 2 stops pop ups too, I've never had any problems with it.
I've never noticed it to be slow, and I've only HAD to install a few plugins, but they have some pretty cool plugins I've installed because I wanted to.
I love it!
Oh, and ESD, screw you Hippy!
never really had to chose pc over mac or vice versa. just use whats we've gots! but firefox has never been bad here either! pretty dang quick but we also have cable internet which for me is new and i am a happy girlie!
I'm just starting to train myself on firefox to wean myself over to more open source applications. At home I'm now using GIMP, Firefox, Open Office, and Blender 3D, they're all open source. Eventually my idea is to finally make the switch to Linux, but switching cold turkey is tough, gotta do it in increments.
Oh, sure! I go to work for a few hours, and the messiah shows up here!
I personally do not believe the weather forcasters anymore. I've been learning how to read the airport channel.
My husband is singing a "tilted windmills" song. It's really bad.
