Suspected Web Forgery.

I opened up a page that I knew was a forgery (Curiously wanted to see what it looked it). That usual email from "paypal" telling me my account was out of date and needed to be updated pronto.
Big read sign popped up letting me know the page was a suspected web forgery. Very kool!

Rose: Hey thats good, i have firefox as well and didnt get that. I continually get e-mails from e-bay, the forgers one.

xmas is soon: Did you upgrade to Firefox2?

Rose: hmmmmmmm i think so lol how do i know if i have the version that u have

xmas is soon: Click on Help , about Mozilla.. it will tell u what version u are running.

Why when clicking on a link in an email, does it sometimes open in Firefox & sometime IE ?
Firefox is my default anyway, just sometimes it insists on using IE, i guess it must be in the link somewhere. Any ideas on how to stop it ?

MadMonkey: What's your homepage using firefox as your default?

Rose: Ah yes, i am running version 2

"The Hit Man": My homepage is Brainking, whats that got to do with which browser a Link opens in ?

MadMonkey: That happpens to me as well, my hotmail opens in IE for some reason, but when i click through a link, like you do, it opens up via Firefox.

I can guess that hotmail does it because hotmail & IE are both microsoft as far as i know.
I would think there must be a way to change the setting somewhere though.

I recently purchased a new USB thumb drive, but it seems to go a lot slower then my other ones.

I've looked on the stick, packaging, etc.. can not find if it is a 2.0 device or older 1.0 device.

it's a newer USB drive so I was assuming it was the USB 2.0 - but the speed I'm seeing is making me question.

Anyway, to my question - is there a way on the PC to see what speed a USB device is?

Marfitalu: For what, i use Incredimail (O.E. in other words) mainly, Gmail and sometimes hotmail. I do have a Yahoo addy, but never use it.
Why ? whats up ?

Marfitalu: I have never tried Thunderbird, can i used it for hotmail & outlook express ?
But more to the point will it decide where links open. My PC seems to be totaly random as to if it uses Firefox or I.E.

I reformated my HD and forgot to save all my firefox addons.
So I have 2 questions.

1) How do I save all my extentions?  (so every time i reformat I dont have to go and look them up again)
2) Anyone know of a extention that adds pics to your cell phone?
I had it and now cant think of the extention name and cant find it.  I thought it was "pic2fone" or something like that but it comes up blank when I do  a search.


Thanx

Marfitalu:

Thats the one...  Thanx so much  

Marfitalu:

Awesome 

A few weeks ago I couldnt use rich text editor until I upgrade to Firefox 2.0. I upgraded, got my rich text editor back. NOW today it is gone again. If I switch to plain text editor I can write but the smiley link is no longer active (Yes I double checked and I have the check box marked to see smilies)
I'm at a loss here. Would it be something in the latest Windows update that might have messed up my java stuff again? Any help would be appreciate. I love Rich text editor!!

Rose: I have found out accepting anything from msn,ruins stuff all the time.

"GERRY": I never mentioned MSN at all in my post.

Rose: Yes Rose but windows updates come from msn

"GERRY": NO, they don't.
I will wait for a response from someone who knows a possible answer to my problem. Thanks.

Rose: What extensions (or addons) did you install yesterday?

The RTE (Rich Text Editor) is a JavaScript thingamajing, to use it you only need JavaScript enabled; some extension may have disabled it.

[Edit] Try disabling extensions one by one until the RTE starts working again.

Rose:If you're using XP, try creating a checkpoint now, when done, try using one of your previous checkpoints that your windows creates and restore your windows to a day or two before today.  If things are O.K., then the problem is with what you have downloaded, if not, they have other source.

Rose: Does your JavaScript console show some errors?

Fencer: I know my Error Console contains hundreds of these:

Warning: Expected declaration but found '/'. Skipped to next declaration.
Source File: http://brainking.com/js/menu.css
Line: 45
Warning: Unknown property '_padding-top'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://brainking.com/js/style/rte_default.css
Line: 22
Warning: Unknown property 'layer-background-color'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://brainking.com/js/context.css
Line: 62

I have loads of them, whatever they may be

MadMonkey: No, those are CSS errors, it has nothing to do with JavaScript. Try to look for something like http://brainking.com/js/rte-12.js etc. (ends with .js)

Fencer: Oh i just saw the /js/and thought thats what it was. Cant see any .js there

MadMonkey: There everything works for you. Now it's Rose's turn.

Fencer: I wish it did. I have games that have no dice. Parts of Ludo board turning up where they shouldnt be, and the smiley above message boxes (including the one i am typing in now) not even there, to name but a few

MadMonkey: None of these is JavaScript-related. You better check if some of your browser's extensions is not doing some funny stuff.

Fencer: Maybe you have missed it bit it has been mentioned on brainking quite a few times the last couple of week. Boats taking the place of dice, missing dice etc.. so i dont think it is just my browser

MadMonkey: i never had those problems, neither at work or at home or at my laptop .. so it cant be on brainkings side

my guess is that its your cache

MadMonkey: But it's definitely NOT caused by BrainKing.

Hrqls: My cache is cleared automatically when i log off and i have never had these problems until recently like others here, so i know its not me.
Of course it can not be brainking, where shall i start on my list of bugs

MadMonkey: lol .. brainking has its bugs for sure .. but i dont think this is caused by brainking .. if it is then i should get those bugs as well, and i never did

what type of machine do you play on ?
(os, cpu, ram)

Fencer: Right on,some day they will learn.with there add ons,extension & whatever.Hackers love your kind:)))))

Hrqls: I use my Compaq Presrio, Windows XP home and use Firefox mainly, but do use I.E. sometimes. As i said it has only started last couple of weeks, since others have mentioned it as well i know its not just me. Maybe as it is others as well its microsoft, lets blame them

MadMonkey:Right on LMAO;))))any problems call them he he lol;))))

MadMonkey: blaming ms always works :)
i know on my old machine at home (win98se, 400mhz, 128mb ram) i do have problems with refreshing, when i go to a game which i played previously (and i havent cleared the cache) then i might see the old board as it was at that time (although i can be several moves further as i might have played those moves at my machine at another computer) .. also when i go to the discussion boards i might see old messages as new (and new ones missing)

pressing F5 (or even ctrl-F5) solves this .. therefore i think its a cache problem

the battleboats-as-dice problem seems a bit like this

of course your machine is a bit better than my older machine .. but maybe brainkings load increased a bit causing this to happen with not-so-old machines as well ? or maybe the traffic is routed differently making data arrive slower and the browser grabs the (wrong) cache files? .. i am not sure if last scenario can happen though :)

Hrqls: It was not me that had the dice/boats problem. I kept getting game where either one or both dice were missing. Seems ok today (at the moment). I was getting parts of a Ludo board beside mine & my opponents name in games, where the little graph is. That was the latest thing.
I look after my PC, clear it virtually every day, scan it & defrag it weekly, and my virus scanner and firewall are working fine. Funny enough, it only happens on this site, no where else i go. So as much as people say its not brainking, will someone tell me why it ONLY happens on this site ?

MadMonkey: Yes the same for me.:))))???

MadMonkey: hmm not sure .. maybe you visit this site more often than other sites ?
maybe the other sites have different files for each page while brainking uses something else (i think :)) ?

i play a lot of backgammon games, quite some battleboats (didnt play ludo for a few weeks though), and some more games, but everything looks as it should for me

maybe fencer just added this for overseas players ;)

MadMonkey: So i wasnt seeing things then lol

ive downloaded it 3 times so far and each time it whilst in BK it crashes and freezes up before i download it again need to know if anyone else has this problem

"Snoopy": I just keep my firefox2 on my screen until i need to use it.

"Snoopy": I have absolutely no problem like that, and I can't think of a reason for this behavior :(

Firefox2 is working fine for me

Marfitalu: i just fine it very strange has no one has these problems and its only with firefox2 it happens
i do have 2 other mozilla browsers i use Seamonkey and Mozilla im wondering if having these 2 browsers also on my computer is having an affect with it
