Is my stoopid browser acting up again? Every day I got the "server not found" notice at least once trying to log into H-O. If that happens I usually try entering the site another way (other than typing "husky owners" in my URL bar). For example by typing "husky owners" on google and enter the website through Google's search result. If Safari still refuses to open H-O, I'd close the browser, turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Usually it'd work after that. If it helps, H-O is not the only site I'm struggling to log into. Cheezburger is also as troublesome. It's even more annoying in Cheezburger because it opens just fine for a while and suddenly when I click next page Safari …

I don't know if this is just me, but from people using tapatalk I'm seeing a lot of line breaks "</br>" in the text of their messages. Any chance of getting them converted to real line breaks??

Some of you may have noticed that I've been the chat room something like twice in the couple of years I've been here. I don't have anything against chat - I'm just not a chatty person. I've been trying to get some work done on a project of mine and some on the volunteer work I've been doing and << boop >> someone wants to chat. Going out on a bit of a limb here - how about some courtesy - something like "Al, are you free to chat for a few minutes?" or alternatively "You said << something >> and I'm wondering about it ..." In either of those cases, I'll probably make time ... BUT when you just drop into the silly little chat box and start tal…

Having a bit of a nightmare with my son's Ipod atm. It's fourth generation that kept on crashing and needed re booting. We've had to do a hard reset by pressing and holding a combination of buttons to send it into recovery mode. Then tried to restore and update via itunes. All goes well until it tries to restore, the loading bar on the ipod slowly goes up to about a qaurter full and then the screen flashes white briefly before turning itself off, and i tunes telling us it didn't work. Been looking on google but their suggestions are what we've just done, am reluctant to book a session with the guru's at apple as last time we did that, they were bloomin' useless! The…

I've noticed that we're getting more HO members using Tapatalk ... I asked one of them is they could put their location in their profile - since at times it's a lot easier to give suggestions when we know where they are. The response was that they had tried but couldn't see how to do it (my paraphrasing). Would one of you nice users who uses Tapatalk offer some suggestions on how to update the profile ... I don't even have a decent cell phone so I can't help except by asking ....

I just downloaded this browser and it seems to be incredibly fast compared to IE and Firefox but was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it as I hadn't even heard of it before today! Is it as safe as the more traditional browsers to use for example?

I've been a loyal user of Media Monkey for years, but before that it was WinAmp ... seems as if it's been around for a long time (15 years actually). This message only show up on the page to download WinAmp so I'm not sure if it's real or not ... but a search for "Winamp discontinued" sure seems as if AOL (their parent company) seems to be doing it.

what are these .ink files?? I was told they're viruses? all of the files in my flash disk have a .ink duplicate if I plug them into a Windows computer. I cleaned them all up in my Mac using Avast but they still pop out in Windows. Scariest thing is if I delete all the duplicates they revive themselves my friend told me it's the other computer that has virus, but today I plugged my brother's flash disk to my laptop and transferred a file. I printed the file in a PC and realized I need to print another so plugged it back in to my Mac. The moment I opened the flash disk in my Mac, I saw that all of my brother's files have turned into a .ink file so does that mean…

When I use my Samsung tablet now, it plays up. It only affected posting on here at first, dropping the keyboard then not letting it come back to continue typing so I tried via tapatalk and forumrunner but it still played up. Now it does it on other sites, sometimes crashing completely. Yet it's fine on the pc or phone so it must be the tablet. Any suggestions, brainy techy peeps??

So about a week ago my Macbook Pro died; the logic board or graphics card failed. It was 7 years old. Took it to a few repair shops, and it wasn't worth to fix it. So I backed everything up, and prepared myself mentally, emotionally, and financially to get another one. Getting a PC/non-Mac laptop was not an option; I had fallen in love with Apple's products. Unfortunately for me, the new Macbook Pros were released that same day. This would have been a good thing except for one main problem: They were backordered: the waiting time was approximately 3 weeks. I needed a new one ASAP, as I use it for school. I could not wait for minimum 3 weeks, I have numero…

I have been using the pc no problem this morning. Steve comes home and says he cant log in to his emails, saying the password is wrong. I noticed he could type normally in the user name field but the password field typed backwards! So I typed his password in backwards and it accepted it. Now the screen won't stop scrolling to the bottom. We have changed the keyboard and the mouse, so I know it's not the mouse wheel or any stuck keys so I'm at a loss what to try next. Any help please, techy peeps?

I know most of you guys in the UK don't use iPhones, so for the rest of you, do you plan on upgrading to the newest iPhone went it is announced next month? I currently have a iPhone 4S, and I am eligible for a discount through AT&T. I am really thinking of upgrading after the 5S comes out. First, I can go on gazelle.com and they will give me $230 USD for my old iPhone. And if I just upgrade to the iPhone 5 instead of the 5S, it should be about $299 for it, or only about $70 after the discount. Wondering if anyone else is thinking of getting it, or if I should just keep my 4S
