question for you computer geeks..

[hillbilly4008]

when im on my labtop i cant click on the buttons around the screen where you enter text. What happens is i scroll over the icons ^ and over > and absolutly nothing happens. This is why i havent been posting pictures lately. My guess would be that its in the settings? Can somebody help me out?

Have little idea on that, is it only happening on the RRR icons, or do other web pages have problems too?

I can at least help ya fix your Sig. You need to replace the { with [ and } with ] and you'll be good to go.

Hillybilly,
What buttons are u referring to? Why r u usin' the scroll buttons & not the mousepad? U can also hook a mouse up to your laptop.

I think you need to put your finger on the soft square box on the lap top.

That is your mouse.

Hope this helps.

oh man....lol.. when i said "scroll" i meant use the mouse. Y'all made me look like an arse, lol. The buttons im talking about are the ones that appear above where you type your response, such as Fonts, Sizes, Smiles, Insert link, Bold, Itallics, Underline......

Its not just this site, its all. So that means its my computer.

Lets see if i can get that "build link" fixed.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Build link fixed.

Next question. Is the click problem just within web pages or does the back button and such for the browser not respond either? How about desktop icons, can you click them?

Do you have any kind of pop up blocker or security settings set for your browser?

What browser are you using? Internet Explorer? Have you installed anything recently or changed anything?

You may have something in your browser Security settings disabled dealing with Java (which I'm guessing is used for the forum code).

I think you have the problem that I had a while back.

Go to User CP on the Top Left Of The Page and open it.

Then Click on Edit Options on the left side.

Go all the way to the bottom of the page.In the Box,Make sure that it reads

Standard-Editor Extra Formatting Controls

If it does not.Then select it and save.This should fix your problem.

 

[hillbilly4008]

Sam- Its just the buttons around the box where you enter text. Everything else works just fine

Mastr- I checked that User CP setting, and everything was the way you said it should be.

Technology stinks!

Ok, did some quick research with IE. Try this:

In IE, click Tools pull down menu.
Click Internet Options.
This should open the Internet Options window.
Click the Security tab.
Click the 'Custom Level...' button.
This will open the Security Settings window.
Near the bottom of this window is a 'Reset custom settings' box.
Make sure the input box reads 'Medium'.
If not, set it to Medium.
Click the 'Reset' button. (you must click the 'Reset button' even if it already reads Medium.)
Exit out of the menu windows back to the browser.
Reload the RRR page and check to see if the buttons now work.
If now operational, celebrate your hard work and daring with your choice of beverage.

May the Computer Gods smile down on you and good luck.

Bring up the screen that you are talking about.

Take a picture of it and post it in this thread.

It will be easier to figure out that way.

Thats just the thing. My computer wont let me post pictures. The paper clip image that i would normally click to insert pictures wont work.

 

[hillbilly4008]

Sam, i did what you said. Still no luck.

Say pooh on it and just start a Photobucket account. Seriously, and if you need
any help with that we will assist.
