Is anyone having trouble following links in gmail?
11 years ago
My husband and I have different gmail accounts, and today noticed that in both of them, if we click on a link in, say, a newsletter or a notice from the city where we live, a new tab opens in FireFox, as it should, but the page is completely blank. In my gmail, clicking on a link always leads to an attempt to open the following URL, which I captured with the "Print Screen" key:
My husband's gmail, although it also fails to follow links, seems to be attempting to open a different URL from the one above--but like my gmail, no matter what link he clicks on, it always ends up as the same URL.
The trouble can't be with FireFox, because links that come up in messages we get at our other emails, such as hotmail, still work. I can forward a gmail message with dead links to hotmail, and then I can open the links in hotmail. Obviously, I don't want to keep doing this every day. Gmail has been our favorite email, but if this keeps up, I'll be forced
to notify everyone on my contact list and switch to some other email.
Has anyone else had this problem? I did some searching and wanted to report it to Google, but when I found a forum that seemed to be a way to reach them, posting there required going through FaceBook. I had an account there years ago, but hated it, quit, and am determined never to go back.
In case it matters, both of us have Dell computers running Win7.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Anyone have trouble with Dr. Earth fertilizer?
Comments (24)There are a couple of points to be made that seem to have been overlooked. Dry organic fertilizers used with container plantings are going to be pretty ineffectual. Commercial bagged container or potting soils tend not have the necessary populations of soil organisms required to break them down into a plant usable form. OK for any inground planting but not for containers, despite what the label might indicate. While some nutes might get assimilated and absorbed or taken up by the plants, most of it will be wasted. If you want to stick to organics - ideally not really advised for any containers - then stick with fully liquid ones. That the dry stuff has developed a 'mold' is not unreasonable. Fungal organisms live off the organic matter these products contain and the 'mold' is just the visible sign of these natural decomposers. They will also appear in regular old and unfertilized potting soil as well, as a good percentage of that is also organic matter. In and of themselves they are harmless and won't adversely affect the plants - they feed off of or decompose dead OM, not live plant tissue. But they are often an indication that the potting soil is being kept overly moist and that CAN harm the plants!...See MoreAnyone else have trouble starting 'specialty' seeds?
Comments (5)Hello Bruce I don't believe the size of the seed matters. It is the right conditions. Warmth, and humidity. I put my seeds in small plastic containers, and put them on top of the hot water heater. I picture lawyers drooooling over this,and it's a crying shame. Just keep them away from the pipes. They don't need light to germinate.(This applies to lawyers also): On another note I had some new seeds I bought last year (just one type). I only got 2 or three sprouts out of several seeds of this packet last year. I figured they were not very fertile, so I threw the rest of the packet in this year. Well I now have 29 Marrina's Peace sprouts. I guess the humidity is the only difference. I used the same water heater, same growing mixture. I guess I did use different tap water a year ago :...See MoreAnyone else having trouble finding Seed Exchange?

Comments (4)A couple of general comments: Sigrid’s comment about snow sliding off the roof casing damage is on the mark if your mom’s roof is aimed to dump snow on this area. My plantings under eaves are either perennials or shrubs that either tolerate snow getting dumped on them when we have to rake the roof after really heavy snow, or ones that I can cut to ground level in spring if there is damage and they will regrow quickly. You will want some evergreens, either conifers or broadleafed. Otherwise even with the berries, dried hydrangea flowers, and red stems this area will look stark in winter. Consider adding evergreen groundcovers under the shrubs as well for times when there isn’t snow. I don’t grow any of those particular cultivars, but grow other cultivars of all those plants. Several of them I wouldn’t consider of multiple seasons of interest. There are comments on Bobo on both the perennials forum and the Hydrangea forum. It has a long season of bloom (4 months here), and some H. Paniculata varieties have some fall color. I like leaving the dried blossoms on for added winter interest. Bobo on Perennials Forum. Bobo in Hydrangeas Forum Winterberry is a holly which like all hollies have separate sexed shrubs. So in order to get berries, you need a male that blooms at a compatible time to pollinate Berry Poppins; in this case Mr. Poppins is marketed for that purpose. My Winter Red suckers energetically, but I don’t know if BP does. I love winterberry but its only real season of interest is fall since the berries ar often eaten by birds in winter. Pollinators love winterberry holly so it does have summer value, but it is fairly unobtrusive during the growing season as far as human ornamental value. Clethra is interesting when it blooms for a couple of weeks in August here and then my Ruby Spice has lovely yellow autumn foliage. Just a green mound in spring and summer and a twiggy mound in winter. Cornus Arctic Fire has autumn color and red winter twigs, but all the nonvariegated Cornus shrubs in my experience are just green mounds for most of the growing season. I have yet to see one that I would value the flowers or berries as ornamental, though this one may be different. It suckers, and to get the bright red winter twigs, older branches need to be cut out periodically. Koren spice Viburnum has heavenly scented spring flowers that waft the scent well, and some cultivars have nice fall color which Spice Girl is said to have. It will also spend the summer as a green mound. Most Viburnums need a different cultivar (or a wild type) to have fruit as most aren’t self-compatible....See More
