  1. I still can't get Yahoo email to display the full version like it used to.

    Are you certain there isn't some sort of preference in your yahoo mail settings that is set to the html version?

    There is, I've selected full version, save, page cycles, but still HTML.

    The QuickJava extension works as advertised with all other sites I use frequently, just Yahoo Email got stuck in HTML mode and doesn't want to go back. Weird.

    I got it.

    Change the Yahoo settings to Full and delete Yahoo cookies in FF. Reopen FF, log back in to Yahoo and wala, email was back to full version.

    Now I can reactivate QuickJava in FF and see which toggle is killing the Yahoo format.

  3. After a while the file 'prefs.js' can fill up with useless crap (especially if you have uninstalled some add-ins) and things can go weird. Only way to clean it up is a fresh install, including the settings for each of your add-ins. It's a nuisance.

    Oops, above I said Flask Killer, I meant Flash Killer.

    Interesting, thanks.

    I initially put the the QuickJava extension in play, then decided to remove it shortly thereafter because I couldn't get my Yahoo email to revert back to the "new" version with all the font and emoticons enabled, et al. It is the HTML version of Yahoo email, so everything is blocky v1.0 looking.

    I did a FF U/S and deleted what residuals I could find in program files that might save my bookmarks, settings, ext, prefs, and did a clean install.

    Still, my Yahoo email is showing the HTML version. I've clicked on "go to new version of Yahoo email" which cycles the page but still, no change.

    I reloaded QuickJava since then because I do like the way I can turn on/off certain Java features but still, even if I disable QuickJava in the FF extensions window, I still can't get Yahoo email to display the full version like it used to.

    I've checked the Java console via Control Panel but not sure what I'm looking for.

    Any advice appreciated.

    yes, all very frustrating!

    Why has no one suggest that after the OP has completed his clean install of Windows 7 that he makes a Ghost copy to a backup external disk.

    Then add the trusted applications and create a second Ghost image.

    Now you can add the possibly dodgy apps and start working.

    If the dodgy apps get totally screwed up, reinstall the clean win 7 with trusted apps and add new dodgy apps.

    The time to create Ghost images is short, as is the time to reinstall an image.

    However, you need to have a lot of discipline, keep only the operating system on C: and all data on another drive (or partition).

    It's a bit like system restore in a way but much faster.

    The down side is data loss if you don't watch what you are doing.

    Note at images must be done for each computer because each computer is likely to have different hardware, chip sets, drivers etc.

    Even on a lap top, I have always shrunk the C: partition and created a D: drive for data.

    On top of this there is VMware, where you install a virtual machine running whatever operating system you like with whatever applications you like. You can use a VM to test possibly dodgy software and if is infected, just delete the fm and reinstall a saved clean copy.

    I once had some software on trial that allowed only 10 searches in its database, after that it's pay per search.

    Installed it in a VM and saved a copy. Run the VM, do 10 searches, close the VM, open the saved VM and got 10 searches again..... Fun stuff LOL

    Needs lots of HDD space but no problem with desk tops RO lap tops with external HDDs.

    That's a sweet post but not sure if that help this dumbazz get his old Yahoo email back. LOL. Cheers, J.

  4. I could imagine a white child, loong time ago, being led for the first time down the cobble stone and red brick laid city streets, hand in hand with mother, when all of the sudden a black slave springs into view across the street.

    The child, having heard of this but never seen one in person, points and shrieks, "Nigger Nigger, Mommie, look it's a Nigger!".

    Clearly the child has no malice or racist intention. It is merely a reflection of its parents and the village responsible for its upbringing.

  6. Original news article:

    "In July the junta allowed Yingluck to travel to Europe and the United States and last month she visited Japan and China, meeting her older brother and fugitive former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra during both trips."

    Clip of Yingluk, Thaksin and Nong Pipe's visit last month to Chengdu zoo in China, posted on Yingluk's Facebook page :

    Anyone who is married to an ex-bar girl would be proud to have Yingluck as their wife.

    I'm sure there are a few nearly starving English teachers who would do the same.

    In fact, <deleted> it, I would be happy to as well. I'm willing to put her past aside and accept her for who she is and all that she could be in the future. And her family too, no matter what people think about them. If that bully Prayut comes after her, he'll have to go through me.

  7. The PM seems to be preoccupied with the personal habits and standards of the homogenous Thai people. As if he feels the past slipping away. Control. Ability to, therein. A quickening into the nothingness of an unknown future, and he's the only one left, empowered by greatness, hanging on tooth and nail, screaming with exertion, sweat stinging his eyes as it slips against his grasp, ever closer to the edge of inevitability. Fears of greatness denouncing his failure to save the Nation.

    A recurring dream he wakes from at 3am, drenched, 4 times a week.

    His wife bitching at him every night for waking her up.

    No wonder he's not happy.

  8. I second the post from Mania ^^.

    I've sent box loads of food stuff but not chocolate for obvious reasons. Make sure to put it inside a zip lock bag just in case.

    Edit to add: Not sure if you are in the US mailing to yourself in LOS or somebody is sending you a box from there to here.

    May not be useful to your situation, but at the end of our last US vacation, we had purchased so much stuff that mailing it was shockingly cost prohibitive. We only brought 1 large suitcase each, so it was less expensive to purchase 1 more large, cheap suitcase each from a second hand / consignment "junk" shop (they were quite plentiful where we were) and pay the airline's extra weight fee. Cost me about $30 for the cases and $200 to Korean Air for our extra weight, which was still less than USPS quotes.

  9. My Firefox crashes about 10 times everyday, and I'm on the latest version, i however have such an idea that it has something to do with googleads and Ajax.

    I'm using that plugin mentioned above "QuickJava" and have noticed increased stability when loading busy pages.

  10. i would like to know where Prayuth was in 1976..ok he joined the army in 1972 4 years before....

    "Starting today, the English-language media are required to spell the general’s name “Prayut Chan-o-cha.” The “h” in Prayuth is dropped and an extra hyphen will be added.

    Suspicions abound that this is a case where a fortune teller must have told Gen. Prayauth (or now Gen. Prayut) to alter his name in English spelling to improve his luck."

    "NCPO: Stop Photoshopping Images of Junta Leader"

    Appears he does indeed consult soothsayers.

    That's quite an article.

  11. i think madison blue said it best.

    Guess what ? I ain,t that old and there are more than a few who don,t think highly of the party or the types of people it attracts . GET IT!

    You have mental problems and need counseling. Seriously. Do you GET THAT?

    Yes Jim. You seems a bit overwrought about this. It's not really your job to sit in judgement over tourists and their Thai hosts. If you do not like FMPs then don't go to them. It really is that simple. I get the impression you have a bit of a god complex. But you can't control everybody just because you do not like them or their past times. In Thailand that is up to the Thai authorities and the local Thais. You belong to neither group. Perhaps you should consider returning to your own country and trying to influence people there. You are very unhappy to the point of being distraught. I shall remember you in my prayers.

    You would.

  12. Yeah, things seemed to be OK after 33.1 but alas, intermittent Plug In Container crashes again.

    Seems to happen when I load a page and scroll down too quickly before its loaded all the way. Seems like a memory choke and/or plug ins handling certain content on a page. Usually unfreezes after a bit but sometimes I do a hard shut down/restart. Gotten into the habit of clearing the FF cache as well, dunno if that helps.

    Still dragging my feet on Chrome. It's a trade off between the privacy issues I was reading about, and FF's quirks. I don't use PC for work or anything critical, so it's not that much of a bother and not enough to abandon ship yet.

    I'll read news sites and if something looks interesting I'll open it in a new tab. I'll keep reading news 'portal' page, possibly opening more tabs until I get to the bottom, then go on to the tabs I opened. Been using browsers this way since the 1990s (though in the begiining I was opening new windows, no tabs back then).

    Well, sometime in the past year FF started going sideways when I did this, most of the time it has to do with Flash. Yeah, plug-in container stalls, but also some sites overdo it with flash, like one page will have multiple flash adverts. I've come across two add-ins that really help. One is Flask Killer -- click the button on the status bar and all flv's are zapped. The other is called Quickjava, which lets you turn off Flash, JS, etc. I usually keep Flash and Java turned off. These keep FF usable.

    Yahoo sites really suck in this respect, especially Yahoo Finance and their main site. I read the other day that FF and Yahoo were coming up with some sort of partnership, maybe someone will notice the mess it causes.

    Good post, thanks. I'll check out those add ons.
