caro120 Evening

I’ve popped your post over to a new thread in the Feedback board, just so that we can look into it separate to the unreported service issue stuff.

What things have you noticed playing up within the thread?

thassit, just think got too long!

mind you had odd thing happen on other pd

also nipped in to see how to top up spare phone is just on pay as you go… then back on website and it came up on that account

quick panic, out then in again with new number

i like typing but tech is really scary lol, real tech-wimp🙂

might be going computer shop soon cos error 400… weeded out 2k messages in inbox the other night, took solid 3 hours but it was funny looking back

so only 3k on there now, is that bad?

computer says got 100gb left of 150, that’s ok isn’t it.

whole thing needs a sort out, kodak easy share won’t let me copy and paste piccies into gmail, scanner won’t let me send attachments to emails

you can see why i get despondent around it all

would rather be cooking lol

oo and emoticons have gone on this, you know the : followed by summat else.

i expect there’s glitches all round🙂

@dtuxcomp @guy_ow @endorphin I had a problem a few days ago with posting on the thread - the site would crash when I tried to add a mention to my post. And I did have problems with videos not playing but think that may have been me and my Internet connection, not the website.

It has been working okay for me though since then, so @caro120 will need to tell you what problems she has been having…

guy_ow

untz Thank you for getting back to us with your own experiences so far, yours do sound like a possible internet issue (but I could easily be completely wrong)

Glad everything is back to normal now though for you.

crashing, getting slung out of thread

did just get it multiple times with pd too just now

maybe is computer, who knows, IT would know

have asked a moderator and also popped it on a tech thread, think is something giffgaff will need to look at but very frustrating.

then again could be computer here, is rapid enough but never know how using the site is affecting it?

yes had that aw snap motif several times just now

caro120 Love that drag and drop pic, please post that in the funnies thread when you have a sec, it’s move BTW, got too big at over 4000 posts, so I’ve locked and restarted it. That pic reminded me of an old gag. “This little computer beat me at chess, but it was no match for me in kick-boxing” 🙂

caro120 There’s a known issue with the emoji not always appearing after you type the colon, it seems to kick in after the post gets to a certain number of lines, I can’t remember who worked it out but someone did actually figure out how many lines it was before it started to play up, that’s not a problem with your computer hon.

oo love it!

don’t give me ideas lol

well this was second hand and think we had it maybe 8 years she says guessing!

but seems just right for in here, not sure i could type on one of those foldy out things 🤣

100Gb left of 150Gb I’m assuming is the hard drive usage, that’s a good ratio of space left, it’s best if they’re not constantly run at less than about 10% space so you’ve got plenty of leeway yet. It’s tricky without actually seeing the PC to know what’s causing what there, you need a nearby friend who knows a little about computers really, none of the things you’ve mentioned should need a trip to a PC repairer as they have to charge a fair fee for their time, whereas a friend could just give it a look over for you. I’d offer but it’s a bit of a walk from Kent up to yours 🙂

i did wonder if the loop it’s getting might be

keep finding messages coming back into inbox unless doing them on the thread… oh it doesn’t really matter but think it could all do with a check up, can’t take these things for granted and they do a lot of work eh?

dtuxcomp

caro120 I’m using computers here that are far older than that hon 🙂 There’s no doubt it’s probably feeling it’s age and could do with a going over by someone who knows how to refresh it but my worry is you’d pay more in a repair shop for a job like that than you’d pay for a new base unit, that’s where you keep your current display, keyboard, mouse etc and just buy another PC, I know of places you can get them for less than £100 delivered.

nice local shop, they given free advice a couple times now so took em some cider, had plenty in house and wasn’t going to drink it all meself…

cor really fancied a beer but all out and don’t think delivering for a coup days… not much real ale in local shops (I’m fussy) and local off licence used to be good but that shut, felt so sorry for the staff, was coup years ago….

dtuxcomp

caro120 Depends which inbox you mean hon, if it’s the inbox for PD’s on here that’s nothing to do with your PC

caro120

dtuxcomp

nope just the inbox denoted by the bell on toolbar for website….

caro120 This one won’t be affected by your PC then hon, it’s not stored on the computer.
