Hello,

Unfortunately we have needed to restore from a backup everyone's Stockwatch lists, newswatch lists and terminal views.

The backup was from last night (midnight), so any changes that have been made since then will have been reverted.

We're very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Priscilla - to download the Flashblock extension in Firefox (version 1.5):

1. Select the Tools menu
2. Choose the Extensions option
3. An Extensions window appears, in the bottom right is a link for Get More Extensions, click this
4. A new Firefox window should appear entitled Firefox Add-ons. In the search box enter Flashblock and change the pull-down menu from Entire Site to Extensions
5. The Flashblock extension is found, click this.
6. The full Flashblock page appears with an Install Now window - click the Install Now link
7. A Software Installation window appears, click the Install Now button when it appears
8. This should have installed Flashblock. You'll need to close all Firefox windows and then restart the application, then Flashblock will be working.

This is the teaching you to fish bit... sorry - the direct link is here Flashblock

There are lots of other useful extensions for Firefox such as 'XE Currency Convertor' which you can browse through a library of on the Firefox Add-ons site.

By the way, if anyone is using Firefox but finds there are certain sites which work better with IE, I can recommend the 'IE Tab' extension.

antiadvfn - well said. It's a nice civilised site here & we like it that way. Hope you'll stick around and contribute.

Kyoto: Thanks. A lot less 'flashy' bits now. You're a star.

When it comes to pc's i dont really have a clue, i'm not a nerd :-))

So perhaps a kind reader can help me with this ?

ravey,

This will be a cookie issue - are your cookies automatically deleted? YOu might want to clear your cookies first thing in the morning so that this does not occur. Also if youa re logging on with 2 different browsers at the same time (i.e. IE and Firefox), you will be logged out.

Give the clearing cookies in teh morning suggestion a go and let me know how you get on from tomorrow,

ravey,

sorry, all you need to do is click on tools at the top of internet explorer and then on dlete cookies.

Let me know if this helps,

Ian
