Is that the Bill O'Reilly book Killing Lincoln? I know it is in the process of being made into a movie.

Thanks so much! You are a magician!

Well, I am good at making things disappear - like the last of the ice-cream (I'm currently in the doggie house for that one!).

Agreed. It has more impact now--but, cool as ever.

Yikes! Too much like Rolls Royce.

Would have worked back in 2000 and 2004. Not now with this economy.

Why am I getting red x's instead of icons? And what do I do to post an avatar? My brems is a little slow today, so it's difficult to read through all the posts.

Usually you see red x's because of your browser..what browser are you using?

do you have a pic for your avatar...we can help..post it here or give me a link to it..

mystery-ak · « **Reply #266 on:** October 02, 2012, 03:46:30 pm »

IE is the culprit fro your red x's....I use Firefox .

click this

and insert your image url in it...no need for html here

Here is the link to download Firefox.

When the prompt comes up asking if you want Firefox to be your default browser, you can click "NO".

This way, you can experiment with it. It will automatically put an icon on your desktop screen.

Explorer sucks the big one. Firefox rulz!

Something isn't pulling the images properly. Let me know what theme you're using and I'll see if I can figure out what icons are missing.

LOL...by no stretch of the means...retired military family here so you know I'm not wealthy.....up until now we have not asked for donations but this recent upgrade was costly..we are thinking of putting a paypal donation icon soon....

The bandwidth alone has to be becoming expensive. Please do put the button right next to the R/R button.

BTW - FR and TBL (to a lesser degree) had pitiful response time last night when it was important. GBR was fast throughout. Your model is better and there don't seem to be any Mormon hating trolls here. You will get my former FR donation when you ask.

Cut and paste

I can copy and paste to other forums. It is simple, just highlight the phrase then and select copy.

Move to the forum, right mouse and select paste.

My mouse right click does not show the option to paste.

Spelling

On other forums it is indicated in the text box when words are not recognized. If I highlight them there are often suggestions for spelling. It is easy to select them and the spelling is corrected.

Somehow that does not work either on this forum.

Is there some setup that I need to go through to get both of these to work?

An obvious error in this case would be welcome.

Thanks,
Al

I have no problem with cut and paste here...I think it all depends on what browser you are using..I am on Firefox it also takes care of all my spelling errors....lol

I believe that it's browser-based, not forum-based.

Problem solved.

control+c for copy

control+x for cut

Solves my problem. Cut and pasted from a friends recommendation.

Help!!!

Since (at least) yesterday, I have had to log in each time I visit the site (TBR's cookies are not working for me). This is not the case for other identity-enabled sites that I have visited, all of which seem to maintain my information.

I'm running Windows 7 SP1, Firefox 26.0, with a NoScript add-on, but with TBR officially "white-listed" and cookie-enabled.
I will check the functionality on my other (notebook) computer and on my smart phone, and let you know if I am experiencing the same problem on those as well.

Thanks!

In settings you can pick the sites you don't want scrubbed....I keep my bank, Tricare etc sites off the clean cookie settings so I don't have to keep logging in..

mystery-ak · « **Reply #298 on:** January 20, 2014, 12:46:10 pm »

Although this won't help your phone or notebook....if your browser is FF try clearing you cookies there log out..then restart...log back into TBR and see if that works....

Thanks for the responses, guys.

During lunch (how suddenly nice it is to have a scheduled day off after not working for six months!!) I deleted the TBR cookies in each affected device and re-logged on.

Problem solved!!

Odd though, that it happened on all my internet devices. Whatever - it's all good now!

Thanks again for the assistance!
