I was also added to that group.


I was doing some testing in the back end that shouldnt have caused any slowness but we might need to reboot the server.

Thanks, Medusa. I think you mean the 9words, if I'm correct? That was the one that I figured I knew what was going on.

The other is different. It makes sense that there's a connection of members here with FB members but I just haven't found it yet for that particular thread.

I'm still perplexed but I'm sure there's a connection. I just haven't found it yet.

Hi Linus,

I have a question regarding the small photo's we put up on here on our profile. Why is it some ppl's pictures are very clear and crisp.. while some are blurry. For me.. I've tried making the smaller and still I get nothing or when I do make them small they seem so far away so you can't see the picture...

Any Idea's for me to fix the Blurrrrrrrrrrrs??? lol

Blurring in the profile picture indicates that it was originally smaller and made bigger. Size isn't just L x W but also number of pixels per inch. The more pixels, the sharper the image. It makes it a larger file as well.

So the trick is to keep the pixel count high while keeping the size at an appropriate level.

Hi there,

It's unlikely that you need a new laptop. I would suggest, however, that you probably need a very solid system check. This can be done by the likes of the Geek Squad at Best Buy or even a local computer store (likely to be cheaper than the Geek Squad).

The other option to do is to reformat it back to factory default (Dell's usually have a recovery section on the hard drive). This is another alternative but you should ensure that all critical data is backed up and you keep necessary info for applications (e.g., license codes) somewhere safe so you can restore those applications.

Linus,
I recently just downloaded Java from the bfp chat link and now it tries to load, says Java, then bam........error click for details....class not found exception client.class

I cannot enter the chat room at all. I have windows 7 on my computer.
I even uninstalled java and went to the java website and installed from there and it still does the same thing.
Can you help me with this ? I sure would like to be able to go into chat once in a blue moon.
Thanks in advance,
Just

Which browser are you using? It sounds like when it installed the browser was open and didn't get applied to it. If you were using Internet Explorer, I suspect Firefox should work (and vice-versa). Give that a try.

I am using Firefox newest version. I have tried everything, even closing the browser and installing it, then reopening the browser. I don't know what's going on. I need your brain to pick the problem....so to speak. Please help.
Thanks in advance,
