Ana maybe the rain is making my brain soggy! grin Have to get laptop out soon, so I will check properly, rather than dodging what's left of my memory!

Anne58 Thu 30-Jan-14 09:35:14

Is Galen in blue or black?

Oldgreymare Thu 30-Jan-14 08:20:54

P.S. Can't do the same with Galen tho...... what's going on?
muttering again......

Been getting them for ages phoenix very annoying when trying to access links e.g. Soop's photos, Bag's erudite articles etc etc. Sometimes if I scroll back and click on Soop's name I get access to her details and, therefore, her photos.
Wondering whether it's anything to do with the 'security levels' on this 'puter?
I'll join you in muttering.....

I agree with Ana well, at least with regard to the "it can't be done" comment confused

(Still say it's nothing I've done, mumble mumble, I don't know, people thinking you've fiddled, mutter mutter, technology ganging up on me, mumble mutter........................)

It can't be done! I think you're on another planet, Ariadne! grin

Ariadne Wed 29-Jan-14 18:53:22

The exploding hand thingy, of course! Do try to keep up. grin wine

Anne58 Wed 29-Jan-14 18:14:47

Indeed!

Ana Wed 29-Jan-14 16:24:14

Right click on what, Ariadne? confused

Anne58 Wed 29-Jan-14 15:53:34

Ariadne grin

It's never happened before and I haven't fiddled with anything, honestly!

Also it doesn't happen on all links, therefore that proves that it isn't something that I've fiddled with!

Sounds like a pop-up blocker icon.

Ariadne Wed 29-Jan-14 15:41:14

No - you can turn it on or off if you right click on it. Or, choose something even sillier. Think I know what you will do......grin

Is it just me? When clicking on some links the hand icon thingy has a sort of "explosion" cartoon image with an exclamation mark in the middle and emits a click noise.
