| I have to ask that anyone just joining in please forgive me for not welcoming you. My computer for some reason, does not like this new board  . It does not light up for me with any new posts, if I post, I can't get back on the board, I have to shut it down and open it up again  I didn't know there were any new posts in this thread, Welcome Pineapple and Welcome back Was. Welcome to you too Seba and no need to apologize for what you can/can't give, it's all good, just please post more often  wanted to see if that hide thingy worked for me LOL |

I have high speed internet and lots of time my orange post indicators don't light up when they should and sometimes after I post I get an error message and have to back out by clicking on the "home" button. Weird. :?: |

| This site times out a lot faster than the old one did. I'm so use to using the back button and I get "error web site has timed out". I'm adjusting to using the little yellow arrows to go to the top and then wherever . That's the only problem I've encountered, I'm on DSL. don't know too much the others. |

| I have the same problem Granny. I never even knew there were little yellow arrows. They make things a little easier to navigate. Thanks for the tip!  |

| Char, no I don't have dial up. Although I've kept my AOL account, I have Verizon DSL. I've never gotten a time out message and I've never gotten what Frannie just posted (gee, I hope I didn't speak too soon  ) It's not that big of a deal, and the speed is not a problem, I just have to pay attention to the time of the posts and when I was last in that thread to find out if there are any new posts in there. I just happen to miss some of them sometimes, so I'm a little behind  (how come we don't have an ass emoticon LOL) |

| Well I almost crapped my pants, as soon as I hit send to that previous message, this one popped up "A new message has just been added while you write it your. You can consult the last messages posted below and thus to decide if you want to modify it or to record it" I had never seen that before so I thought oh now what!!! but thankfully, it's only another great tool of this site, except the grammer  |

| LOL, Frannie, I know, I'm such a mess with this stuff. If I had gotten the message you got, that would have been it, I would have thought the damn board gave me a virus and I would have been outta here Thanks JW, I'm going to go fix it now. So many bells & whistles, except mine aren't blowing  |

I know! My husband gets so annoyed with me because I'm always freaking out and screaming, "honey, what's this"? I think everything is a virus. :arrow: :arrow: :suspect:

Hey, maybe that's my problem, I have so many anti-virus programs, they are all probably fighting with eachother (damn, no dualing emoticons either)  |

That's a new feature they added. I guess it would be important on some websites. All it means is that before you clicked send, someone else already responded to the same post. Just go ahead and click save ( same as post) when that happens. |

Looked this up:
Found....... Basically, this text appears on your monitor (the radioactive screen) when you try to navigate in your history, and a page has expired from cache. So, your computer can't really remember what you saw on this page, so it needs to request it back from the web server. However, the page beforehand submitted some POSTDATA to the web server, so if you were to access it again, very bad things might happen (such as resubmitting an online payment).
---------
What that means is don't use the back button to see the pages.. use the links at the top of the page or the "little yellow arrows" |
