Joanie,

I've just realized ... sometimes I have to click twice, maybe three times on reply to get it to 'drop'.

Another thing I do on this new reply box is forget to click submit, click reply instead.

Just in case she cannot get here, I'll send her the link. xxx

Just checked, doesn't look as though Joanie can speak using the Edit button. Would everyone check every now and then, thank you. xxx

Just heard from Joanie, bless her ...

She tried signing out then ... wait for this,

GR did not recognise her email address nor password.

Joanie, hope you can read this, will be able to at least speak using Edit.

Will scroll back in a minute, see if you could reply. xxx

Oh bless Ingrid, thank you :))

Yes, Jackie and Daphne are from Oz too, have been talking about the terrible heat and more. Do you know them, they are soo nice, are on the number thread.

I luv your name too, reminds me of Ingrid Bergman, one of my favourite and so beautiful actresses of all time. :))

I like your names Shimms, it cools me down when I read them and think of the snow some of you are having. We have had 4 days of high 30 degrees and are in for 2-3 of mid to high 40's.

Cheers

Bless, thank you Ingrid, strange though it seems if it will work, allow Joanie to speak here, wouldn't it be wonderful. You are kind, coming through. (((hug))) xxx

I wish you such luck Stevie, truly I do. Me, still wearing me mistletoe!

We could be a winter duet perhaps :)) Can you imagine ... in June ... Snowy and Mistletoe lol! xxx

The same thing has happened to me only when I use my lappy,could not use the submit button but now it seems to be okay, had to put my password in again, and it's been alright since.

Stevie Report 6 Feb 2009 14:28

But either way you enjoy it Mac !!

Stevie Report 6 Feb 2009 14:20

Oh dear Shimms, still struggling with your name hun?

I tried changing mine yesterday, but couldn't. After sometime I found that the GR wont accept the letter characters that I can access on my comp. But wil accept those I found on internet !?.

I'll try & change it again later to day. As snow nearly gone now, so name no longer appropiate.

Shimms

I noticed on one of the other boards that someone can't reply but they could add answer in the original post using EDIT.

Joanie might try this even though it is a pain.

Cheers

Stevie Report 6 Feb 2009 14:13

Hi Shimms, another thought;

I assume Joans' Mac is a lappy. Her battery power settings can affect computer performance.

High performance......battery life is reduce but higher oparational speed

Power saver..........increases battery life but may reduce system performance.

This is a bit of a long shot though,.

Steve.

Thank you Angie, crosses fingers it will X xxx

I know Alko, look at me ... even when I put my own name in my own name box and nothing in my Community name, GR still seems to think I was born Shimms has just a likkle bit of Mistletoe.

As if lol! Oh, maybe I was?! xxx

Alko

Alko Report 6 Feb 2009 14:03

Problems is shimms, cant even ring them, its always by email, i was lucky i suppose,

and its always slow, if i twirl anymore im going to be dizzy lol xxxx

ShimmsRedRoseAndMistletoe

ShimmsRedRoseAndMistletoe Report 6 Feb 2009 13:55

Oh Alko, thank you.

Do so hope that helps Joanie.

The problem is, they are not replying in person, just silly automated responses. How can anything be sorted, tis rude too ... tis now a week and no-one has had the manners or courtesy to contact her.

So feeling for Joanie, truly I am. xxx

edit

Meanwhile am going to disappear for a few minutes try to get my name back ...

Hi Joan, i had terrible problems the other day signing into GR, said my email address wasnt recognised, then my password, then it said register now, i had to C&P the receipt they sent me saying i had paid, it was a nightmare. In the end i had to change my password, it took about an hour in total, I had no submit button, it kept saying i was a free member.

Keep trying, GR need to sort it xxx
