I thought I might bump up this thread which goes back to 2011 (it's been bumped before) and was started by the wonderful Tiger
It contains all sorts of useful info on technical problems, handy hints for inserting photos and links and, latterly, the fact that we seem to get 'notifications' that we can't get rid of (I'm up to 6).
If nothing else, another trip down memory lane.
Thanks for all that info, was just reading today of a security update for Win 11 that was flawed & caused so much trouble ... my biggest problem is that my current laptop overheats a great deal & I fear it will burn out ... if I could get another with Win 7 I'd be quite happy

Curious. You can 'like' opening posts on threads but only 'vote up (or down)' replies. What is the difference please (ie the effect of voting up or down? I feel like I'm about to commit some terrible social e-etiquette and everyone will hate me....
I think it was Bob's Retired who warned us that up/down voting wasn't the same as Liking, it would move posts up or down the order - but I haven't managed to demonstrate it and "everyone" is still upping (not seen any downing yet).
IMAGICAT
Using the up/down buttons don't affect the order of posts and they are simply for like/dislike but are very unstable and can be amended by anyone at any time ... the sooner they're gone the better imo!
agree with ye all!!!!
If they put the like at the initial post, then why not with EACH post ? Grr!!! maybe ithe true LIKE,will be back eventually.
IN the meantime keep upping Korky
using the up vote button means the post will get included in the "top replies" box, just under the opening post I think, for instance on this thread Wendy is top of the top replies box with +9 followed by Cirrus with +6 .... I think that's how it works anyway.
Thanks PimperneBloke for explaining how it works! I'm still of the view that everything should just be kept in chronological order rather than being a popularity contest! It was never that way 'Before'.....
Yes, thank you PimperneBloke
Korky said: everything should just be kept in chronological order rather than being a popularity contest!
I can see now how people can get carried away with upping and downing battles in true Social Meejah spirit
With any luck and a fair wind all these current problems will soon be a thing of the past!! It did seem a nice thing to do to show posters they weren't being ignored but ........ not strictly necessary methinks!
Now I'm replying to my own threads but to let you all know that the vote up/down option HAS GONE and you can once again like away to all posts!!!!!
