Admin, I've always gone to the homepage first because of the counter thingie for what place we were in the Reality Tv thingie. At one time you said if we didn't log on there that the counter didn't count us. Anyway, I'm wondering if that is still important or if can I set it to go to the forum page?

Uh oh, I have always had the "General Discussions" page as my homepage. I very rarely if ever go to the actual TVCH homepage. Do we need to do this?

Q: Why are the member's folders divided into seperate folders?


A: Because our message board has become so large, people have been having problems getting the members folder page to load.

In an effort to help everyone, we have broken the message board into several different areas.

Member's folders are broken into the following groups:

Misc. (Important announcements about member's folders, messages to everyone, etc.)
A - C
D - J
K - N
O - S
T - Z

I have a question, when will the banner of the Survivor contestants be posted on the All-Stars board?

Azriel: The Reality Thingie is still there and although it's not important, it's nice to see us in the top few. It's better if you do keep the main page as your bookmark for other reasons as well. These include some of the Hot links to popular areas, the banners which pay a small amount of money to the TVCH when they are shown, and also there are links on there not found anywhere else. I will be including a link to the SEARCH page on the main page soon too.

Urgrace: The problem you're having with the Search page will happen with computer users too, that are using their keyboard instead of a mouse. They can use the TAB key to navigate the page, but will have the same problem. It needs to be changed and we hope to be able to soon.

Zachyd: Not sure....I think soon.

We've added a new icon to the main menu. It looks like a small world with links. It is the new Quick Links menu.

The old pull-down menu was causing long page loading times and problems for WebTV users, Netscape users and Mac users! This should correct all that.

Bah humbug, I liked the pull down menu. Now I have to disable my popup killer to see that java link menu.

I loved the drop down menu too... it was one of my favorite things on the new board. O well... thanks Admin for trying it in the first place, and for making sure everyone can get around.

The original Quick Links in the Announcements Area at the top of each thread was too cumbersome. It was time consuming to make changes, interfered with some announcements and didn't offer as much as the new pop-up one. It also took up too much 'real-estate' at the top of the page.

The second version, the pull-down menu, was causing way too many problems.

This new version, although it's not perfect either, is better on the whole. You don't have to use it if you don't like it. :-)

For anyone that is confused with the new messages search, the link at the top right now says "Check all new messages".

Another step in improving your TVCH experience:

We have seperated the Members Folders from the rest of the Members area by creating a new topic entitled:

A Caring Place

This new topic is the new 'home' of these subtopics:

'A Caring Place/Community Corner'
'Military Family Support' &
'TVCH Updates: Tess' Tales'

In order for these to appear on your new messages when searching with your favorites, you will need to first edit your profile and add this new topic to your favorites by selecting it there.

Note: This new topic is still a members only area. We did not change the accessibility of these areas, only their location on the board.

Thanks again for continuing to allow us to grow and improve for you.

I have a dumb question.....surprise,surprise}

anyway....When I click on the cool "Quick Links" button up by the TVCH logo, the quick links menu opens way on the right side of my screen, practically off the screen and I have to "grab" it and move it to see it, is there any way to get the to open in a more convienient place?? I know it's probably just on my computer, huh?

Bigd: The window opened by the Quick Links button is programmed to open 500 pixels from the left side of the screen, 0 from the top, and is 440 wide by 700 tall. If your screen resolution is less then 960 wide then the menu will open offscreen as you describe. If you can adjust your computer to comfortably allow 960 or 1024 wide, that would take care of the problem. Is this a possibility for you?

I went to the members files and noticed mine was gone. I don't use it a lot, but wondered why it was gone. Thank you.

Another question. How do you know if someone has sent you a private message? Thank you.

Marej, folders which have been inactive for a while get cleared in order to save space on the board. Kinda if you don't use it, you lose it.
Private messages arrive in your email. You can't tell by visiting TVCH, unless the sender announces it to you here, of course.LOL Just made you a new one.

I just learned that it might be possible for someone to get a "receipt" notice that shows when I've read an email on my aol account. I realized it was possible to view when a message was read when another AOL user sent me an email, but I didn't realize it was possible from other mail exchanges - and I didn't realize it was possible to do that without my knowing it.

Given that, is there a way that I can block email notices from being sent from my aol account without my approval?

Spygirl: I decided to get an answer for you by loading AOL and asking them directly. The answer is that AOL does NOT have any way to disable the automatic sending of a receipt when the sender requests such a response. The tech offered that I should put in a 'Tell Us' suggestion to incorporate this feature in a future version of the program.

Hope this helps.

Wow....I'm not sure I like that too much. Not at all.

I snooped on AOL earlier and didn't find anything. Where did you go to ask the techs?

And thank you so much for finding the answer for me! I am very appreciative!

Hey is anyone here intersted in mod'ing thier pc?

I have a friend that made a big sponge bob square pants figgure into a pc. The eyes pop out and are the cd tray. And the mouth is the A drive.

Another friend of mine has a hardly noticable bump on his living room wall. You press it and the cd door opens out of the wall.

All his computer parts are inside of his living room wall. The only parts that are out are the mouse/speakers/ monitor.

And my nephew's computer has been mod'ed to be a model plane.

Any other pc mod's out there?

Cool, Jed!

Spygirl, time to dump AOL. don't pay any attention to me. I just hate AOL. Funny isn't it? They gave me a year free AOL and yet I hate them because they were so awful about letting me out of the free year. Of course, I hardly ever used the free service because I had Juno all that time.

FYI

"Microsoft Outlook includes a feature that could tell spammers, "Send me more mail." The problem is in read receipts. If the spammer requests
one, Outlook could send notice when you open the mail. That tells the spammer your address is good, which guarantees you more mail.

You can keep Outlook from responding. Open Outlook and click Tools>> Options. On the Preferences tab, click E-Mail Options. In the E-Mail Options window, click Tracking Options. At the bottom of the Tracking Options window, select "Ask me before sending a response.""

Netscape 7.1 Preferences allows you to check "Never send a return receipt" or to click an option that allows it sometimes based on parameters you set.
