New Site Problems

hi simon - i'd sent you an email regarding this problem;.

i cannot see the captcha facility to enable me to prove i'm a humanzee and log-on.

so i could not gain access to my account and participate - despite trying numerous suggestions provided on the internet.. i tried one last thing - i downloaded mozilla firefox (never tried it before) and it by-passes the captcha function and gives me access now.. i look forward to getting acquainted with the new-look web site.. thanks simon..

some of you guys are being a little tough on Simon. Please don't make me post that song from Frozen, "let it go" .

I realty must have had spy ware b/c now IE is asking for a Captula too. Still not staying signed in but feel more secure with IE now, even if the captula is irritating.

Signing In

am i the only one that has to sign in every morning since this new site has been up?

yes, i always check the remember me box, but it's not working more than 24 h ours, at least for me.

I have to sign in with IE and Chrome every time. IE fills in my password and stuff and asks me if I am a robot , I say NO and then I sign in. I do not see any option for staying signed in. Maybe I have missed it. IE has always offered me to save my passwords and it is saving them it is just not letting me stay signed on. Chrome makes me fill out a scary Captcha , which IE does not.

I very much prefer IE to Chrome. I just never got used to having to add on stuff that IE already on it. I never like Firefox either.

Simon,

I think you were right. I ran junk ware removal tool and other malware removal programs and I had somehow allowed Mindspark onto Chrome. also had a wininit.ini which I have no idea what is but the removal tool got it. It is all gone now.

the only hitch a lou I am seeing is I have to sign in every time. IE is nicer, it just asks me if I am a robot and I say NO and it auto fills in my passcode. Chrome makes me fill in the passcode and a captulua every time. I can't seem to find a way to stay signed on in either browser. But that is not too bad.

thanks for solving the Active issue. I have not tried out the message center b/c I think we are doing really well just to be online.

Merry Christmas Simon and family

oh look , despite the fact I have a large warning ad telling me I must download a program before I can use my inbox--the inbox appears to be there. and I can post in Chrome without that malware Mindspring that I just removed from my computer. I am now able to post in both Chrome and IE. IE is much faster it does not require the awful captulla's ( sp). I have an Active button at the top, I'd say I'm OK. It does not look as homey as the other board. One thing that helped was you could see more threads on the Active page. Unless everything crashes i think I am fine. I got to register again with an email address I now use and now have a real avatar. I'd say that is not too bad.

Simon,. you are a mircle worker, I am in IE 11 and it was a breeze to sign in and I am posting. My Chrome made me add Ace box and now it is acting weird and it keeps making me re add it. I like IE so much better.

Thanks so much.

by jhine in

i am perhaps a bit behind on this but i have just listened to " grandma got run over by a reindeer " sung by elmo and patsy .

it got me to thinking about christmas songs in general ,so i thought a thread about people's favourite christmas songs would be good .

please share your fave christmas music , a carol or something more modern .to start i will list my best carol as hark the herald and my best ever chart song as santa claus is coming to town by bruce springsteen .

I had to add a program to Chrome before it would let me post. It is Mindspring. Without it I can't post on Chrome either. My Malware says it is a non malware just a pup. so we will let it be. wow what a lot of trouble .

I have IE 11 with all the latest updates and service packs etc. I can sign on but can't post.
