Ooooo ok thanks :) I did get firefox but all my links and saved fave sites would have been lost according to a friend so I'm still using IE. I'll try updating the Java thing and the other one though :)

This is the only site I'm experiencing problems, and I can't report them through the proper channels because the problems prevent me from using the link to report probs lol.
I'll just have to use my imagination when it comes to pics, and I've found that refreshing the page makes the rest of it show smile

I had problems viewing pics - I have to clear my cookies every time I log in - then it behaves.
If you are still having problems reporting bugs or putting a support ticket in - send Admin a pm explaining why your going via that channel and the problems your having. I'm sure they won't mind in this instance.
Nice to see you btw wave

No they won't. you install Firefox and start it for the first time and it asks if you wish to copy your IE favourites over to the FF bookmarks wink

Firefox rocks - and you get better plugins to do allsorts with lol
As has been mentioned above........When you install Firefox it copies your favourites over from IE and leaves IE just as it was so you can use both...xxxx

Nice to see you too sweetie kiss
And thank you everyone for your advice.
And meat, bend over and take it like a man hump I'm getting pretty good with a strap-on lol :giggle:
also firewalls can block pics from being shown i have found on some sites
i used to use avg a long time ago it was good but it got too draconian nowadays instead i use nod32 instead but thats not free well it is for me lol
but most of time i dont use antivirus i just use a good firewall instead and find that is enough to protect me
Ooooooerrrrr this is weird. I'm using firefox and the site has gone allllll long and weird, but I can now see pics. Trouble is my faves and links didn't come over to firefox, can anyone tell me in simple-speak how to get them across?
i have avg anti-virus.
when i recently upgraded this it conflicted with my zonealarm firewall.
it was only once i uninstalled the firewall and replaced it with another all my internet activity returned to normal.

Anyway....click on bookmarks, organise bookmarks,import,import HTML, MicrosoftIE then next. Job done :)

What i ended up doing was to remove zonealarm completely. Upgrade the AVG and then reload zonealarm. Seems to be all ok at the mo. Although i did have to disable part of the link scanner as i said earlier smile

Now where can i get a cheap 80 pin IDE cable........Ebay is my friend lol
have you tried ebuyer or overclockers?
Quote by tyracer
have you tried ebuyer or overclockers?

They're not expensive, only just over a £1 on ebay. I could pick one up in town tomorrow for a few quid if i can be bothered to get there lol Whats annoying is that i have a few cables here but with 1 pin blocked off!
What are we talkin about ? smile

Yeah - pin20 usually - this is because cheaper motherboards dont have pin20 removed and some motherboards do actually use pin20 - you are wise to not try a mod or a hack and just buy a new IDE cable :lol:
Has anyone got any experience in fixing a PSP those little handy held game thingies?
My son has one and the start and volume buttons don't work, I rang one place yesterday and he said its probably the motherboard? because that is near those buttons? I do not have a clue if this is true or not but don't want to pay over the odds to get it fixed
Its still usable on some games the volume is stuck on high so he uses headphones but does not wear them and some of the games don't need the start button to start I guess
thank you

Thats not a common problem that I have known about
You could try getting Sony to replace it for free, see this guide
You may have to tell some porkys but worth a go.
