Hi Guys, As some of you are aware for months I have been able to receive but never to send any private messages and I thought it was just a glitch in the myLot system, apologies myLot it was in fact to do with the browser I have been using. I have now started using Firefox and can successfully use the other sites I was having problems with and also send private messages here. Have any of you ever experineced a minor computer problem that was as simple as which browser or setting you were on. I am such a novice but due to the advice of a myLot friend in helping me comment on another site I discovered this was the reason for the PM glitch too. Happy Ellie :D

Hi Ellie,
I'm so pleased to hear you sorted the problem, I had wondered if it was your browser myself as I know you've been having probs, my partners ace at the pc and he normally sorts any probs out, if I can't. I switched to firfox because it is a much stable browser and can handle what I want to do on my site, than some others which can't cope with it for some unknown reason, I was using internet explorer and had loads of probs with it and it was slow compared to what I use now. Glad your all sorted xx

Hi Scorpio, It was Mands I think that mentioned it as I was having problems commenting to you guys also especially to her as it kept saying the abode was slowing computer up. I am relieved it is all now sorted and once feeling 100% again will probably be back to test it all out. Lucky you having a partner who is a whizz at computers, I am such a novice LOL. It was IE I was having probs with and AOL too. Think what I really need though is a newer faster computer which I may invest in in the New Year. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hiya Scoop,
She's a very busy lady but I haven't heard off her myself for a few days, which is a worry.

No problem for a dear friend. Love and Huggles.

I am so glad that its been finally fixed! Thanks to Mozilla Firefox. As fr e, ellie, I have encountered serious problem opening some banking sites with some browsers and later on I found that it worked ok with IE or Opera.
Hope you are having a great time!
LOve and Huggles.

I'm glad to hear you got it all worked out. I am having some trouble with mylot. There are three friends on my list whose discussions have not been getting to me. They are on my friend list still, and their notifications are on, but I don't get their discussion notifications in my e-mail. Having so many people on my friend list, I depend on getting the notifications so I don't have to sift through my friends to find their discussions. So far I only know of three people's discussions that are not getting to me. I think there might be more. Mylot has told me they will fix it for the past three months. It hasn't been fixed yet. I don't know if they know how to fix it.

Hi AmbiePam, I have two whose notifications I have turned on and I don't receive an email to say when they have started a discussion that I am aware of, there could indeed be more but these are the ones I have noticed when seeing a discussion of theirs that is recent and knowing I haven't received. I hope myLot sorts this one for you. Mine was my broswer and not myLot although I must admit I did think it could have been a glitch on their part at one time. Huggles. Ellie :D

Good for you and for that friend for getting the problem fixed. Doesn't Firefox rock? I did have problems with Internet Explorer and some other Internet Explorer knock offs. I found that Firefox works the best.

Good for you. I've never tried it. It took forever for me to reach 200 post I forgot what the goal was...copy and paste I think. I don't know how to use the emicons or if I can for that matter. So, I have become content with simply typing.

Hey! How strange that you couldn't send private messages for months! I myself have never experienced this kind of problem. I'm glad to hear that you are now able again to answer your private messages. :)
I use firefox too and I think it's a great browser. Anyway, enjoy sending loads and loads of private messages. ^^

Hi Maclanis, Oh it will be so good to respond to private messages as what I have to do at present is to acknowledge receipt of message through a discussion and explain not being ignorant but cannot reply. I must admit I am finding Firefox really easy to use. Huggles. Ellie :D

Yay Ellie!!!
Doesn't it feel good when you are able to resolve a computer problem? I am so frustrated by my lack of knowledge when it comes to my computer.
I don't even know where to look to find my browser. I have this problem that whenever I forwar a joke to my twin, she never gets just one copy. The last time she received 45. It has happened to a couple other people but only a couple of times. It's mostly betweem me and my twin. The first time came from her. Now it seems to be in my computer. I don't even know how to clean sweep it. I have a virus protector. It is called Trend MicroPC_cillin Internet security. Does this sound familiar to you? I probably downloaded something that is messing with my computer. If you can tell me how to find my browser, I would be so grateful.

Hey Sweet ellie,
How kind of you to give me BR. It makes such a surprise. I don't care what anyone says, when my email alerts me to a Best Response, I get thrilled and can't wait to see who liked something I said. I love it. Thanks again sweetie.

Hi ellie~ I have that same problem! I don't use Firefox for
mylot! I have never tried! I don't think I know how to switch
it over. I will have to ask my computer guy how to do it!
I use my AOL and Yahoo mail and it is so slow and doesn't
ever work properly. I just never use Firefox and I do have it!
I guess I should try it out too! I will send him an email and
see what he says. I'm also not very good at these things either.
I don't know the difference in the browsers either! I get used
to doing one thing in one way and no matter what I just stay
with it even if it doesn't work properly. My mylot pms still
only send once in awhile and it is certainly frustrating when
someone sends me one and I can't answer it back! Thanks for
the advice! I will definitely check it out! Hope all is well
with you and the family! How are my two boys? Give them kisses
and hugs from Auntie Opal! And hugs to you, elle!

Hi Opal, Both boys fine, Ziggy barking in the kitchen as I won't let him in the lounge in the morning as he wants our breakfast too and Jacob munching so he is very happy. Just told my son you sent a big hug and he done a coy look and his dimples showed in a sort of smile LOL. Firefox has definitely sorted the PM probablem as they are sending every time now and I was using aol browser before and they weren't as my IE has never worked properly anyway. Give it a try.

Hi Humbug, I didn't really know what to do as such a novice but I thought I would try and see if I could send PMs now on Firefox and no problems and sent immediately and logged into other sites I was having problems with immediately too instead of after several attempts. I will send you a PM especially LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Ellie..am glad that you can now pm people..I have never used Firefox yet heard it is really good, maybe I should have a look at it. I haven't had any glitches with Pm's but mostly with Myot when it is on 'go slow' and is hard to even answer a discussion let alone post the answer...Merry Christmas to you and Jacob!!

Hi Conderella, I think it was the Aol browser I had been using as they are sending fine on the Firefox one and some sites I was having trouble logging into are also fine on the Firefox one. It was probably a button I pressed at some stage LOL, I am such a novice when it comes to computers. Huggles. Ellie :D

This is what I do also, if ever I have problems with one browser, I first delete all those cookies and cache first and see what will happen. If it doesn't work, I'll see a different one and see how it goes. In fact, I have several browsers downloaded in my laptop and that I have easy access every time one gets some glitch. I have, Chrome, Avant, Firefox, IE and AW2. At this moment I am fairly using Firefox most of the time since there are a lot of online movies that are telling to use firefox since it had good streaming and compatibility. Glad that you're back and things were solve in your part.

I was having an experiment about this browsers before of who among them loads fast and who has good security settings and after that I just let them stay there as long as it doesn't harm my system then they can fairly stay around.
Chrome is still on it's beta stage and seems to have good future. Firefox has the best internet security and I was playing with it recently when I got a SCAM email for suppose to be a notice from Liberty Reserve and so I did tried it's best. It works perfectly fine and I even made a discussion about it yesterday. Silly me, huh.!
