Are you guys on DSL.....dial up........or cable? Perhaps that is the problem with the "white screen of death"

 

Cable for me.

[Cruise_More_Often]

It's fast, isn't it! I'm using DSL.

 

I just found the spell checker and the size changer. Has anyone been able to figure out how the size changer by the spell checker works?

[shoreguy]

DSL for me

 

I get them on cable - If it was an enduser connection issue only those users would have problems. The most likely would be dropped sessions not database errors, white screens, slow reponse, and post that go to cyber space.

Ok, I have a pc and I still don't see where these new features are??Is it an AOL thing? Marilyn

 

OK..........click on the quote screen......look at the top and run your courser over the icons and you will see the new features. Of course if you never did this before you would`t know they are new:eek: :D

That soes not increase the size of your text, only the size of your screen.

Ok I am feeling like a huge idiot, I do not have anything at the top of my reply to thread box. Just title and then message with area to write in. At the bottom of the area to write in I have some buttons with icons to choose from and that is it. The a "submit reply" or "preview post" button. Why is mine so different? I have always wondered how people could underline or change font size in their posts....I am feeling cheated. I have a cable modem and a pc. Marilyn

How do you put a blank line in a post? My previous post got all run together. I've left a blank line in the editor window between the last sentence and this one.

 

I'm putting a couple HTML break tags above this line to see if that works.

Thanks, Shoreguy and Seahorse, for letting me know about the box sizes. Pretty cool for us long-winded folks!

 

Since we're into the questions, can someone tell me how you put multiple quotes into a single reply, especially when some of the quotes are from different posts?

[bragstarr]

Well, to begin with I had to log myself back in....

Had to comment on Shoreguy's "carriage return" comment. One day I said to my 18 year old computer nerd son, "hit carriage return." He looked at me like I was from another planet. Had to explain to him something else used to be in the place of the "enter" key!:D

And now back to your regularly scheduled update discussion.....

seahorse-My additional options are:"Misc"-show your signature, automatically parse links in text (I have these both checked) Then I have "attach files" and "thread subscription".

[seahorse]

Doesn't ANYONE work around here!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Larry

 

Not if you are your own boss:D ........just kidding, this is something to do when You are on hold for a long time.

[marilynbn]

By looking at Lady & sir's post it looks like these new features are Internet Explorer only. I use AOL even though I have Interner Explorer. I will find it combersome to go back and forth just to interact with this board. I am on AOL ALL the time. Marilyn

Go to your profile and click on the user cp at the top of the page.........click on edit options (I think) and see if you have the proper things checked.

[marilynbn]

SEAHORSE You are so smart...all I had to do was change to ehanced wsywig editing! I guess I was on basic! now look at all that I Can do !!:p Marilyn
