Thanks, Josephine! I wish I had the desire to draw more often, but it comes around so sparingly nowadays. When I was little, right through and a few years after school, I was always drawing or painting. Now I don't seem to have the time or motivation. I started the outline of my newest project, but we'll see how far I go before I give up, but hopefully I won't. A drawing like Oscar's takes me hours to do, and now that I'm working full time I won't be able to work for hours at a time like I did with him, which helps keep me motivated to finish versus only putting in an hour or two a day. We shall see though. I may have to make myself finish. Karen

Jean, on the main page of each forum, at the bottom, there's a link called "Technical Problems". You can also use the Contact Us link found in the green banner at the bottom of every page and it will take you to the same form. As Sushi suggests, it is always best to include the links to troublesome threads in your email, and the member's name. Perhaps people are on Easter/Passover vacation this week? Surely there is someone at the wheel, don't you think?

It could be in one of the ads that is on that particular page when it opens. Luckily those with good updated AV programs are stopping it. Now might be a good time for anyone who does not have the free malwarebytes to install it and update it and run a full scan. It is an antimalware program so will find lots of things the AV program won't. Plus you can keep it and update it and run it every few weeks will not interfere at all with any of your other security programs. I use it on all of my windows machines. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (Win) - Detecting and Removing Malware Please also make sure you have done the latest updates on your pc including very important flash, java, and adobe which have all recently had critical security updates. Using holes in these is how most of the recent "drive by" infections are happening. You can use this free online scanner to see what needs updating on yours. Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI)

I used Firefox with my Macbook for years because I was not happy with Safari. Recently I decided to give Safari another chance, and I have to say that I it has greatly improved and seems to meet all my online needs. As far as finding things, I'm assuming you are referring to the search engine you are using (Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Bing, etc.) and not the browser (Safari, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). If that is what you mean, you can easily change the default search engine that Safari uses when you type a topic into the address bar. To make this change, simply go to Preferences in Safari, which is found in the dropdown menu under Safari, as in the dropdown you use to quit the app. You have the choice of 4 or 5 search engines you can choose from. My thinking is that for most instances, Safari is going to be the best browser to use, simply because it was created explicitly for use on a Mac. But as some of the other responses indicate, I too keep a couple of other browsers in my dock should I run into any issues with Safari, which is my default browser. The default browser-the one that opens any random links you might click on when you are not online, and can also be easily changed in System Preferences. Sorry if this is way too basic for you... Hope it helps.
