I did an upgrade and here are my problems
Thak you to any help i get as i am a dumb ass with these things.
1 after selecting any site i used to have a small hourglass showing the computer was actually trying, (on dial-up so i wait on lots of applications) where did it go?
I don’t use outlook for my prmary e-mail (too compicatrd) but i get by on my website e-mail server. anyway when i double click on an inbox item it now opens up under my web browser. So without the hourglass telling me it was working, i kept double clicking, when i shut down there were lots of open e-maile under the browser. Why??
On this board, and on others like this(the high road.org, the fireing line . com) i have trouble getting back to the list of topics. I know just hit the back button. The next tread button is usless. Now on ebay when i look at and bid on an item and what to jump back to the list it is only one click away. What am i doing wrong here??
From IE
Go to Tools
Internet Options
Programs Tab
Click on…huh? I was gonna say to click on the email drop down and change it to blank, but it appears you can’t do that, strange? Well, now we wait for someone to post a workaround to that strange problem.
In the mean time, your best advice is going to be NOT to click on email links
Wait, let’s try this again
Tools
Internet Options
Click the settings button under Tabs
Where it says “When a pop up is encountered…”
change it to “Let IE decide how to open it”
If that doesn’t work then change it to “Always Open in new tab”
BTW, your post is very compicatrd to wade through and I’m only hoping I understood it well enough to answer the first question (hence taking two try to understand what you meant by it). If you could rewrite it so that each problem (I think you have three, or is it two?) is separate and in each paragraph you tell us what your trying to do (keystrokes, mouse clicks etc), what IS happening and what you WANT to happen it will be alot easier to work on.
I did an upgrade and here are my problems
Thank you to any help i get as i am a dumb ass with these things.
Problem #1.
after selecting any site i used to have a small hourglass showing the computer was actually trying, (on dial-up so i wait on lots of applications) where did it go?
Problem #2.
I don’t use outlook for my primary e-mail (too complicated) but i get by on my website e-mail server. anyway The problem is;
When i double click on an in box item it now opens up under my web browser(after upgrading to IE-7). So without the hourglass telling me it was working, i kept double clicking, when i shut down there were lots of open e-mail under the browser. Why??
Problem #3.
On this board, and on others like this(the high road.org, the firring line . com) i have trouble getting back to the list of topics. I know just hit the back button. clicking on “The next tread button is useless”.
Now on ebay when i look at and bid on an item and what to jump back to the list it is only one click away. What am i doing wrong here??
Thank you Joey,
I tried all three of the tab options and my problem isn’t solved. Let me redefine what is going on as i understand it.
This is still Problem #2.
Each time i log into my e-mail i get a list of what is on the server. the first one i select to look at, be it a NEW message(with or without attch) “OR” one that i have left in my in box .
When i double click to open the very 1st e-mail a tab starts to frame in, then it disappears. I then minimize my browser and that tab is there on my screen.
Now when i close that tab and Restore my browser and select any including the 1st one , the tab opens up on top just where it always did in the past(before IE-7)
