Hmmmmmm . . . I like all the changes I'm seeing (except the #%$^%^$&% FB thingy), especially the new options in the "Quick Reply" box . . . AND all the avis look the same size to me as before . . .

Hmmmmm . . . I am using Google Chrome, not IE -- I wonder if that's the difference? (Total tech ...... here . . .)

I have a Mac and use Safari, and the avis look the same to me. Not much difference, in general, as far as I can tell. Till you all said it, I didn't even notice the Facebook thing up there. I guess I just focus on the messages, not all the surrounding details. So the changes haven't affected me enough to care. I did notice that the other night, I had trouble getting on the board, and I think that's when they were probably making the changes.

Good evening to all. *waving* Welcome to the new volties - voltians? Why can I never remember that?

It's been one of those weeks. Was without interent for 2 days and health issues on top of that. But, lucky me, am recovering in time for the sale! Had to stop and place order immediately. lol

Enjoying all the home-town pics and Uncle, nice to see you - almost life size. And just when I get here, it's time to break for dinner. Carry on. p.s. that blue fb thingy is giving me a headache everytime I go to a new page. ugh

Why you can never remember if it is Volties or Voltians (or several other terms) is because there's never been a consensus about exactly what the term should be. I'm glad you're feeling better and are rejoining us.

I also dislike Chrome. I use Firefox simple tons of plugin,add ons, simple to use loads fast and not IE

I haven't watched ION but i saw a e-cig commercial on Syfi channel.

I heard Firefox is the way to go, and I downloaded it, but Safari works well for me most of the time, and I'm used to it, so that's what I use.

Rolygate posted the following today:
We think there might have been an issue with the previous software version, we've just upgraded everything and things seem to be OK now. Also we have recently changed advert supply channels to one managed by Google, this seems to have some issues with tracking cookies which are being reported as a virus or as spyware.

So things are a bit complicated right now, but hopefully in a couple of days will have settled down so that we can tell what the situation is. Thanks for the heads-up, let's see what happens.

Note to others: normally, you will only experience any issue even on an infected website if:

1. You are using Internet Explorer
2. Your antivirus is not very good
3. You have outdated software on your PC

Macs and Linux are not normally targeted as there are not enough of them to make it worthwhile.

You MUST keep your apps updated - out of date Java, Flash, Adobe PDF Reader etc WILL make you vulnerable and IT IS YOUR FAULT if malware can lodge on your PC due to the obsolete software versions you are using.

Update Java using the JavaRa app, it's by far the best way.
Update Flash and see if you can remove any old versions or installers.
Don't use Adobe PDF Reader. Just don't. Use something like PDF-Xchange Viewer, it's 10 times faster and 10 times less vulnerable.
And if you use IE you know you are asking for trouble - so everything else MUST be 100% right.



HTH!

Thank you!!

Safari or Camino on Mac is the best

Great costume. How did you do that with your eyes? Or is it the color of the photograph? I wish it was in better focus. All in all, some neat shots!

BTW:Anyone else watch the ION channel, I've just seen my 5th commerial for e-Cig's . . .

"Cig-Arrest" or something like that, right? Wasn't that the one with all the catches if you sign up, like give up your first born or something?

Things were a little wacky for a few hours earlier, but all seems to be OK now...

In case you need a refresher course...

OK, meet the family:

Everyone must have had a busy night cuz I'm the only one up. So here's an official

Good Morning Y'all !!

 

[Lauralie]

GOOD MORNING to you as well

 

[CatLady007]

Good morning, all!
Eyebedam--awesome costume--and realistic enough to scare the neighbors!
Is that as time-consuming as it looks like it would be?

Ooooh, the contest ends tonight at midnight...I wonder how long it'll take to do the random drawing and post the winners.....

 

[sbphotog]

Eyebedam- great costume and I love those contact lenses!

Good Morning - Everyone ! ! ! View attachment 59738

I use Firefox simple tons of plugin,add ons, simple to use loads fast

I hear ya - however as far as I am concerned - that is the thing with FireFox, it just has to many "plug-ins" . . .

You cannot just download and install it - You HAVE to search for all the plug-ins you need and install each and everyone before you can just serf . . .

I haven't watched ION but i saw a e-cig commercial on Syfi channel.

"Cig-Arrest" or something like that, right? Wasn't that the one with all the catches if you sign up, like give up your first born or something?

Yep - So far I have seen at least 3 different "e-Cig" companies and 1 "Smoking Cession" Product TV ads . . . None of them really good - more like the old day, really bad, info-commercials - With one just trying very HARD to be "HIP" and get a "sex starved" younger group to purchase . . . Also, it seems they are played on Channels that are either strickly Cable based (SyFy, TBN, etc.) or out of Canada ? ? ? (ION mainly)


@"eyebedam" - NICE costume and make-up job . . . You or the Wife do that ?
BTW: Is that your inner "ID" showing or just a fantasy ?
