I've noticed some things and want to pass on to other users.
If you experience a "slow down" of timing involved with replies and such on this board, you might need to go into the "Tools" section of your browser and delete all temporary internet files and cookies. This will generally return your system to normal speed. Cookies are also where most spyware is installed. Regular cleaning of these two should keep you at optimal speed and will fend off most spyware.
For people who are new to the board, beneath every post is a clickable link where you can report any post to a moderator. We are notified by email, so you can do so anonomously as far as the rest of the board is concerned. Feel free to use it.
If you think you are being harassed by a poster on here, you can go into your profile and select the invisible mode. This will allow you to browse the site and not be shown as logged in. You will be invisible to everyone except admins. Of course, you will give yourself away if you post while invisible.
Also in your profile is an option to receive a 'pop-up" notification when you receive a private message. Enabling this option should eliminate all those "XXXXX check privates" topics. The pop-up notification window itself is an alert, and should be allowed by most pop-up blockers. The new window for the message however, does come up as a pop-up and may be blocked.
Any member who has learned any tips, please feel free to share.
