General Help!

I think it could be of assistance to members to have a thread to pass on help and/or tips.

So to start the ball rolling.

Posting a photo

I use Photobucket as an example here.

Generally the easiest way is to sign up to an online host  upload your photos to a host web site, e.g. http://photobucket.com/ or http://www.flickr.com/.etc..

 

1. Register

 

 

2. Go to upload

    3. Click on “Choose files”

 

4. Select image to upload

     

5. Click on “open”

 

6. Photo will upload

     

 

7. Select “Direct Link”

 

8. Open “Post Reply” on Grove Site

9. Click on “Tree” Button.

 

10. Paste into box and click on “OK”

 

 

11. Photo will load in frame

A lot of I.T. problems are caused by an 'ID Ten T ' problem.

To fully explain what an ID TEN T problem is here I will re phrase it in working man terms or plain English ID TENT, = ID 10 T, = IDIOT and from experience or computers a lot of PC users or bleeding Idiots

Nope wont let  me do it and yes did only but in charactors specified sorry

What a great tread.   You go into a shop and buy a computer and then bring it home.   Most people unless they work in the industry get out of touch with the new technology very quickly.   So It is a great idea to pass on some tips.

Anyone know how to improve download speeds?   I have tried Portforward.com but to no avail.   IP address is fixed and cannot change it so if anyone knows how I would appreciate it.

 

By the way Joey fab looking girls.

Pete   Gotta hand it to you. A brilliant piece of work. Even an idtent like me can understand it   Thanks a mill

Same here Finno; I lost my Firefox bookmarks during the week, but I hadn't upgraded. Thought it was something I'd done.
Just browsing now and there's an add-on called Foxmarks synchroniser to back up and manage your bookmarks from any computer.

Thanks Pete will try it when I get home (and including the link). I take it you like Firefox?

In my opinion I avoid downloading and installing Internet Toolbars. From experience I have found that toolbars can slow computer down and also internet browsing. They can be easily uninstalled from Start\"Control Panel" and "Add/Remove Programs".

Some people find them handy to use so it each person preference.

If you are using them and you are having a problem that some pages are not opening in a pop-up window you need to "Disable the Pop-up" Blocker on the tool bar. Depending on how many "Toolbars"  you have installed you  you will need to disable them on all the toobars
