I have had some problems with it. The last time I tried to send a PM, it was a very long one, and I got to the very end of it, and it just disappeared completely off the screen. This has happened a few times and it is absolutely maddening. You will probably have heard by now that they are revamping this site and the new site has gone out to a few people on a trial, so whether it could have something to do with this or not I don't know. Don't see how it should though, but I am clueless about these things. I just thought that if they are working on the site then it may link to this one. Sorry Wendells,, I am just rambling on here about nothing. Enjoyed your joke by the way. I have caught a cold now, so my head is thick and fuzzy so that's my excuse for rambling this morning! Take care hugs xx

I haven't an answer but, from past aggravating experiences, I now copy all long messages before sending them then I can go through the process again by pasting and sending (as many times as necessary!!)

Thanks smiler (that's a more fun and appropriate name for you now!) I have a confession to make! I love your tip about copying and pasting etc but I haven't learned how to do that sort of thing yet. I am not computer savvy in any way. I just bought it and sat down at it and somehow floundered around, but cannot do the more complicated stuff. I will learn though. When I first got my laptop and it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do I swore like I never knew I could! I even flung it across the room, but I made sure it landed on the bed! A machine is not going to beat me!!! hugs xx

I love my new name and the fact that you managed to throw your computer so carefully - brilliant!! I found a YouTube clip that shows you how to copy and paste - have a look and see if it helps.

Hi Smiler, glad you like your new name. So do I call you that from now on? It seems more natural. Thanks for the link, I'm too tired to even try it now but will do so tomorrow after my physio. You are very kind and helpful, especially after me having the cheek to rename you. By the way the laptop got thrown a lot more than once!! One time my poor cat thought I was shouting at him and ran away into the path of the flying laptop. Thankfully my laptop was ok. Ha ha Only kidding I really mean thank goodness it didn't hit him. After that I always made sure he was out of the room before I threw it.!!! I have not thrown it for about 6 months or so. So that's good news. I will conquer it. After all I have managed to get around and send a few links. One ended in disaster when I was trying to send a link about something funny to friends in England and somehow I sent all my emails instead! Its all great fun though and its good to find humour in all our situations. Thanks again for all your help and I'll let you know how I get on. Goodnight, take care and have a good sleep. hugs xx

I had a problem, even today, in logging into the website. It sent me to the blog instead of this forum. I couldn't answer emails. I was told by Admin to reset my password, but even that couldn't be done! Fortunately, a very kind admin sent me a link to reset my password and it worked!

I know it's devastating when you message goes for ever. I would write it in Office Word on your computer and save it, then paste your private message. If it goes again, you can retrieve it and paste it.

But I know it's not easy to know in advance that your message will be erased!

hi Farmer D, I have done a lot more than swear at my laptop. Read above and be grateful that you aren't as inarticulate as me in a computer sense. I have said that all wrong, but I hope you know what I mean!! lol hugs xx
