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!

Whew!....glad it is fixed!

Probably the cookie got malformed in the database, and so whenever the software compared the cookie being sent to the cookie on hand, it didn't recognize the cookie your browser sent.

Clear your history and temporary file folders...downloads.

Install Spybot...it's free. Sounds like you have Malware. http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html

Do a scan....follow instructions...and it should take care of the issue.

Post the photo online somewhere and then copy and paste the url of the photo into the window, highlight it and then hit the image icon.

aligncare · « **Reply #315 on:** Thursday, Jul 31, 2014 12:13 pm »

I ask because it needs to be on the internet at some hosting site before you can post it.

Lately, when I try to paste a URL from YouTube, all that appears is the address. It no longer appears centered as a titled video ready to play.

Is there something that was changed in my settings? I run WIndows7 Professional

mystery-ak · « **Reply #319 on:** Wednesday, Aug 13, 2014 04:13 pm »

Browsers make no difference..this is something youtube is doing.....mass open your post up under modify and you will see the url is doubled...but there is no fixing it...I have tried and tried....

No...I think it might be that they want you to click on the URL so that you get to see all the ad links, etc..

it's because the url starts with "https:" instead of "http:" If you change "https" to "http" it should embed:

If you are reading the topic - just reply to it like you would any other topic. If you are looking for the TCG topics - go to "Briefing Room Polls" - then go to "Repub and Dem 2016 Primaries" - then go to "Trump Caucus Group".

There you will see the TCG articles and you can click on them and reply as you normally do any other topic.

Sorry, it is kind of hidden.

Wistful · « **Reply #348 on:** Monday, Apr 25, 2016 01:08 am »

Please excuse if these questions are dumb.

1) Is hitting the reply button the only way to post a comment? What if you're not actually seeking to respond to the last comment but start a new query such as I have just done? Is there some way you can just post a comment as the next in line? (No problem if there isn't, just wanted to be sure.)

2) Am I right to assume that in order to reply to any comment in particular, (say one posted somewhat earlier) then you must include a quote from that comment. Is the poster you are replying to notified of your response automatically by means that you quoted part of his / her message?

Thanks in advance for your response.

EC · « **Reply #349 on:** Monday, Apr 25, 2016 01:20 am »

1/ If you want to make an observation or comment in general on that particular thread, yes, you hit reply. If you want to post an article for others to comment on, for example a news article on drunken snapping turtles in Tallahasse, you would go to the board "national news and current events" and, at the top of the board, above the thread titles, there are buttons. One is "New Topic" so you'd hit that then post as normal.

2/ Quoting is a courtesy - saves people scrolling around - so is encouraged. It doesn't tell the person you quoted that you have replied, but it shows up as replies to the thread they were interested in enough to comment on under "Show New Replies to Your Posts" in the blue box at the top of every page.
