FireFTP is one of my favorites, especially since IE7 dropped anonymous ftp.

Some of these graemlins are hilarious.

Yeah, I spent about an hour last night reviewing every single album. They really are good. Boy, we could have used some of them in the past issues we have had. You can't help but laugh at some of them. I personally liked the "download devil".

LoL Ed, me and you must have twisted minds.

Can't argue with you there, Bobby!

Where do you guy's find these things?

Aren't they great, Larry? Merritt turned me onto them. He's been lobbying us all to use Mozilla's Firefox as our search engine instead of Internet Explorer. I finally bit the bullet and switched. Best move I ever made. Once it's set up, you can obtain extensions through tools to get access to literally hundreds of smileys. Some are hysterical.

Merritt sent me the link to add them, but you'll need to use Firefox as your browser to make them easy to use. I will forward the link to you when you are ready.

Ed glad to see you got the graemlins working

For those of you not using Firefox here is the link https://www.mozilla.com/

The graemlins come from Smiley Xtra the link is the second one on the first post here

Everybody is happy with Firefox. I tried it 2 years ago because Clark Howard recommended it. I got a virus while downloading it. I guess it was a coincidence. Maybe I will try it again.

Yes Ed they are great, and thanks Merrit for the link.

Something tells me that this forum is going to be "very animated" within the next week or so! Oh, well, we need a few smiles.

OK! OK !!

It's been raining for two days so I've spent two days loading, reloading, adjusting, and it killed my funny picture box with the keyboard.

Dumped the mess, got it back up, loaded FF alone --- can't see the difference from IE. Added the funnies and --- CRASH ---

It's now the middle of the night of the second reload so I'm with Bill, if you can't talk on it, forget it!

Ok Ed & Merrit, I am now on Firefox
:banana:

Me too....Hope you're getting a commission Merrit

I think y'all have seen my luck when trying stuff on a computer. If it's going to happen it'll happen. So like KLD, I'm sticking with what I've go for now. Hello Central

Well, I just downloaded it - took all of 20 seconds! Downloaded all the smileys, too. Thanks, Merritt - I think I'm gonna like this!

One thing that I have noticed is that whenever I close the browser, it doesn't keep me logged into Sundance.

I've noticed the same thing Phil, but only on my laptop.
I have the box checked to keep me on after I close the browser bit it doesn't work.

This is not a major problem but it is simply a glitch we are reporting.

Keep your Firefox extension up to date


Go to Tools > Extensions
Select Find Updates
You can also select get more extensions and go to the FF web site new ones added almost every day

After you install the new updates you need to restart FF for them to work

i use the portable firefox which i load onto a usb thingy. that way i keep the same plugins, bookmarks, settings etc. no matter where i am.
