Lia Abbot

Hi Dee Thank you. The move went surprisingly well. My son and his pal helped and we were all shifted by mid-afternoon. And, believe it or not, unpacked in 5 days. It's a nice little house in a friendly street, and we're pretty happy.

Hiya Quinn! I missed you all too, but my priorities have been somewhat changed recently. The house is great, but needs a lot of cosmetic work. Our bedroom was floor to ceiling wood panelling. Whoever installed it did what some installers do and put a date on it. I'm not telling you what the date was, but it was exactly eleven days after two guys called Neil and Buzz took a stroll a long way from here! Now it's gone, the walls are painted, the floors laid and the next project looms. Thank you for the kind words Quinn, it's nice to know I was missed. Huggggggs.

I know of a lady who launches. Would she qualify?

To the negative posters out there..it would be so appreciated if you could refrain from posting here....like Dillon says, the harmless/dangerous debate has been done to death...we don't need to be told yet again that she did wrong, etc etc.....all we are doing is showing our support and that we miss her. Hang on in there Keli, we are not forgetting about you! Well said Jaen. We've all made mistakes. The answer is to learn by them. People griefing Keli just don't know what a sweet, funny and fun poster she is. Come back soon Keli. Hugggggggggs!

/me sniffles too. Keli is much missed. The forums seem empty without her. FREE KELI!!!!

I feel bad for you that now you are missing parts to your story. Gosh Kelinda, you remind me of someone, but I just can't think who...

Baloo Uriza wrote: Anyone got any ideas? Like I said it works fine on Firefox, but not Windows Explorer. Explorer isn't as standards compliant as it could be. Firefox is a lot closer. You have to code websites specifically for Internet Explorer, whereas if you code to the standards, you're going to be covered for most users. Doubly true if you test on a variety of screen aspect ratios and resolutions as well. For a company that already supports a vareity of platforms and is considering targeting more, it doesn't make sense to write around the peculiarities of one specific web browser that only has decent support and any following on one of those platforms. Especially if the way the browser handles the basics keeps changing each version. Okay, thanks Baloo. I'm just more familiar with Explorer.

I prefer to stumble along, oblivious and ignorant to all that business and thus avoid major migranes so I figure it balances in the final analysis. Yesterday the land company i've been paying tier to for the last couple years to the tune of about 1000 USD/annum tell me I gotta move and pack up my 3750 prims and find somewhere else to live. Not a big deal, i guess, but it goes to show how SL mimics RL in many aspects. I got stuff to do in RL anyway and I prefer RL, anway, as I am ultimately the Captain of My own destiny and not subject to the whims of some pixel head (not that there's anything wrong with that, being a pixel head) Well you make these forums more fun, Moxie, so that's fine

Peggy.Paperdoll wrote: I'm using IE 8 also and have not had the problems you are having. The only problem I do have is that once I click the "quote" icon to quote the post I'm referring to in my response, the spell checker and formatting tools (such as bold or italics) don't always work. However, that may be the time I've spent typing my response because that only seems to happen when I've paused from posting to do some real life stuff and come back a while later to finish what I was typing. I sort of written that off to the secure website these forums are on (which brings up a real question in my mind for the "why is it secure in the first place?"). What version of Internet Explorer are you using? Hi Peggy. That sounds similar to the problem I'm having with the quote button, but it happens when I press more than once. I'm on 7 so I'll try upgrading.

However, one thing that might be worth trying is to clear your browser cache (tools - internet options - then the delete button under 'browsing history') I'd probably clear temporary internet files and possibly cookies too and see if that works.) Heck - 'clear cache' is the standard answer for SL viewer issues, so it might work for the browser too! Thanks Suella. Tried that but I still can't post a pic. But thanks anyway.

Thanks for responding, anyhow Irene.

I'm having real problems with the forum software recently. It simply won't work in Windows Explorer and I've been forced to load Firefox, which I don't like. When I try to post a new question, the screen comes up and lets me put in a title, but the lower part of the screen just sist there with the wheel going round and round. The same happens when I try to start a discussion. When I press the button that quotes who I'm replying to, it works the first and second times, then all the buttons at the top of the screen freeze. When I try to post a photo, it lets me select the pic I want, and then just hangs there. Anyone got any ideas? Like I said it works fine on Firefox, but not Windows Explorer.

And worth fixing. Thanks Unk. /me waves

Oooh! That must have been a naughty link Unklebob. It's gone! /me pouts and stamps off

Oh No! My hubby is killing his feet!

Always make sure you have a decent and up-to-date antivirus running (I use Trend Micro). DON'T go for those awful commercials on the TV where grinning idiots tell you their Windows is working wonderfully after using the advertised software, they are a rip-off. (In fact, if you look closely, most of them are sitting in front of MACs. LOL.)

Not sure if this is true of everyone, but I know my IMs are automatically save to my hard drive. Try this. Go to Start/Run and type in %appdata%. In the Explore, click on the Second Life Folder, then the one with your sl name on. Inside you'll find all your IMs. Big Brother doesn't need to watch us. We're watching ourselves!
