I hope I'm not too late, Black Dog. You can send me your pic if you want and I will resize it, put it on my webspace and send you the address so you can link to it. Just send me a PM

Thanks for the offer Yvonne. I've just sent you a PM

Dear Someone who knows more about computers than me

my AOL internet keeps losing connection! Today I was on it for fifteen minuites and it lost the connection, then ten. Either that or the internet freezes about three times a day and every now and then the computer refuses to shut down. Whats wrong?

native texan · 30 Mar 2004, 18:17

I have tried to send a PM, but it shows up in my out box instead of in my sent box. Does this mean that I haven't actually sent it to the other person? If so, what do I need to do in order to send it? I hit submit already. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Chris · 30 Mar 2004, 20:52

You have sent it.

It will sit in your outbox until the person at the other end reads it, at which point it will transfer to your sent box. Just don't delete it from your out box or the recipitent will log on to find no message!!!

airhead · 31 Mar 2004, 22:42

Oh help please

I want to send pms and post messages but it won't let me because when i log in, and when i want to post a message it says i have to login. But i am! What can I do?

Chris · 31 Mar 2004, 22:58

It is a cookie problem!!!

R. is poorly and needs you to send him lots of chocolate chip cookies and he will make everything better!!!!!

Failing that, what internet browser do you use?

airhead · 31 Mar 2004, 23:01

AOL.

What is a cookie?

R. · 31 Mar 2004, 23:05

Try to connect to the web using the AOL software, then minimize it and use a different browser. IE or Mozilla.

airhead · 31 Mar 2004, 23:07

I don't have another browser

I am suffering withdrawel symptoms!

Chris · 31 Mar 2004, 23:08

A cookie is a little file full of chocolate chips for if anyone ever emails you a glass of milk!!!!! (can you tell I studied computing??)

A cookie is a file that contains your username and password for the site so that when you visit the site, it can automatically log on!

To clear them in the AOL browser, follow these instructions:

1. Open the AOL account.
2. Click on the "Settings" button on the toolbar. ("My AOL" for older
versions).
3. Select "Preferences".
4. Select the "Internet Properties (WWW)" link on the left-hand side.
(Older versions will show a "WWW" box).
5. In the middle of the Internet Options box is a section called
"Temporary Internet Files".
6. Click "Delete Files". Place a check mark in the "Delete All Offline
Content Box".
7. Click "OK".

Then return to the site, log in and select the remember me option. Everything should work perfectly and you can send your fave Uncle Chris a present!!

airhead · 31 Mar 2004, 23:11

one last panic attack: erm... I've never seen the remember me thing! where should it be?

ps thank you thank you thank you...

Chris · 31 Mar 2004, 23:14

Top right hand corner of the forum screen, you have the options for FAQ, profile etc etc.

Click on login and you get a screen asking for User Name and Password, underneath there is a little checkbox saying Log Me on automatically - that is the little box i meant!!

airhead · 31 Mar 2004, 23:17

so after i've done all that i go back on the site, type in my username and password, and just click the log me on automatically and just press log in?

Aye

airhead · 01 Apr 2004, 21:54

THANK YOU HUNNY!!!!!!!! I COULD KISS YA!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is back to front and so is yours. R's little april fools?

dottie · 01 Apr 2004, 23:07

Chris why am I receving e mails that have my 'dotsameatloaffan@yahoo.co.uk' as the subject, I'm deleting straight away anyway, as I do not recognise the sender?

I seem to be clear for quite a while, then they start again, with the 'Viagra ones' etc., I mean do I need it

not unless I've changed sex anyway

Chris · 01 Apr 2004, 23:21

Personally Dottie, I would say you have Muliple Personalities and amnesia which means you are sending them to yourself and then forgetting which makes it a problem for Auntie Sin!!!!

Failing that, it is a common trick by spammers to mask their email address behind the address they are sending them to!! They do it so you cannot block them with filters.

All I can suggest is deleting them each time!!

One point tho, do NOT ever ever ever click ont he link at the bottom of the email that says "Click here to stop getting emails" or something similar. All that does it let them know you have a valid email address and cause more problems!!

dottie · 01 Apr 2004, 23:34

Cheers Chris - I needed reassuring :) .

How do these strange people who

a) think I'm a man (Viagra) Um didn't tell anyone about the sex change

b) Do I want a subscription to a porn site - My lap dancing days are over

get hold of my e mail address

ppff!!!

airhead · 02 Apr 2004, 00:04

I get the same I have Emma in my e mail address so it's obvious i am female

so why do i get emails saying

Viagra
Valium today!
Xanax!
Hi I saw your profile (?!? it is sent to another email address but they find their way onto mine!)

dottie · 03 Apr 2004, 11:10

Just to let everyone know that I am receiving e mails today from webmaster@mlukfc.com - subject my e mail address failed delivery - attachment.

If anyone else receives these do not think it a good idea to open them

Caz · 04 Apr 2004, 23:34

Funny airhead i get those emails in my outlook express email addie as well ..... i just block them but they still find their way in

Ben · 06 Apr 2004, 13:29

Ben

LostSoul · 08 Apr 2004, 02:46

hi Chris,

How do you manage to replace the url link by a shorter word or a picture without modifying the link itself?
