I'm not sure about this particular problem, but I like to pick when and where I do these Adobe Flash updates and the like... from trusted sites, certainly not at some random site. Lots of untrustworthy sites will try to fix you up with something besides the factory updates. It's like risky sex without a condom.

Crap, I didn't see that part. You think they was trying to have their way with my laptop without protection. Sneaky bastards. Maybe they thought my firefox was hot?

Sometimes I put on my "rain suit" and galoshes, then go "private" browsing... eliciting warnings and admonitions form my Norton Internet Security Suite... just like my Mom used to give me... no switches, though.

Sometimes, I would get those scary things where there's a horrible noise like "battle stations" on Navy ships, and a big screen full of warning about "Malicious Site" or the like! I don't usually continue in areas like that. It's kind of like going down Bourbon Street and popping into each bar... there may be a bad experience facing you immediately in some.

Maybe a lot worse area or section of town than the touristy Bourbon Street, though.

I went back through some settings and kicked the inactivity setting up quite a bit. It may be that for some users, their browsers are not being seen as active by the forum software as it should be. This should at least delay the logout in those cases.

Now if only we could make the thumbnails open up to 640.... No pressure, just hoping it will happen some day.

Nah. Just use Photobucket and post pictures as big as you want, with none of that slow as a snail waiting for the thumbnail picture to display, small as it still is.

I'll be playing again tonight trying to fix my little firefox, confusing little mother that he is.

Any ideas? Remember use small words and pictures are best, I'm pretty simple on this computer stuff.

Hey Bawanna!

In the FireFox "Help" menu you will find a choice for "check for updates". FireFox will offer the latest version. After installation it will probably tell you you need to download the latest version of Flash and provide a valid link and instructions.

If that does not work, you can uninstall the existing program, download a new copy, and start over. You may lose your BookMarks and saved passwords, but otherwise it should get you back to "normal".

If you need more information, send me a PM including the version of Windows on that machine and I can send you cookbook style instructions.

Hey thanks Tucson, whatever the malady was I seemed to have cured it or managed to work around it. All is well in kahrtalk land so all is right in bawannaville.
If it comes down to the cookbook style instructions I'm gonna have to get bigger pans or chop this sucker up into smaller pieces, I don't reckon it'll fit the way it sets.
I did after months of monkeying around manage to get the AVG Free installed and working. I think I had something else that was argueing with it or something.
Alls well for the moment this very second, I'll try to savor it.
PM inbound to ya on another matter.

I do that now. However some folks don't for whatever reason and I can't see their pics very well.

Check your thumbnails again. I did some tweaking while working on some other stuff on the forum settings. Hope that helped out.

[OldLincoln]

Wow! I couldn't find any thumbnails but it looks like thumbnails now appear large enough to see. Thanks John!!!! My tired old eyes thank you also.

Yeah, thanks John! And they are already displayed; I don't have to wait for them to appear, then click on one and wait 30 seconds for it to display, click next and wait 30 seconds for it to display ... Whew! :7: Now, if you can just find an animated smily that portrays uncontrolled laughter, I'll nominate you for President! We so need such a smily on this forum.

We do? Oh, yeah, we do!

[JFootin]

We do? Oh, yeah, we do!

And where, pray tell, did you get that?

[TucsonMTB]

Don't recall . . . it's been on my FTP server since 2006. It did come from one of the other forum bulletin boards I frequented at one time or another, hence the almost correct sizing.

Most likely, you can grab it from my message and put it in your Photobucket account and use as you like.

I also kind of like this one, but it is a little large and does not have a proper transparent background. It dates back to 2007.
