Can we try this?

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:26:31 +0200

Go to http://www.network54.com/Forum/679935/ . Sign up with your AI name. This is a forum, not a Q&A site. But that is what the trend here was - people wanted to interact rather than ask. Cons of the site - it was very slow to access as I worked on it. There will be no BA's and points. No avatars yet, but there used to be such a facility if I can just find it. Pros: one can post photographs in messages, but that will bring problems of its own. There is a polling facility but I need to make it work. And more. I hope Rebut's plea will not fall on deaf ears, though Admin does not say anything. The Facebook page is fine but not for those who want to stay anonymous or can't access it. BTW, Paul Bluebeard is not my real name.

Can anyone give me advice on RealPlayer video downloader?

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:35:04 +0200

I love downloading video clips from youtube, but it takes so long for a clip to play through so that I can just watch it. My speed is 100 Mbps. I am wondering if the problem lies with my Internet Service Provider, my computer [which is getting on in years] or whether this is just something that I have to accept in SA? In Ireland, for instance, a video clip plays through in a few seconds. I would like to know whether, in light of the info above, I should buy RealPlayer Plus. It claims to speed up downloading of videos, but that is not really my problem; my problem is that I like to watch videos to see if it is worth it to download it and the playing through takes very long. Will RealPlayer Plus solve this problem do you think or is it just for fast downloading? RealPlayer is by far the best free downloader that I've come across on the Internet... so I wouldn't like to change to another downloader. Thanks!

What is your e-mail font? Don’t you just hate e-mails in colourful cursive font?

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 09:37:42 +0200

For me it is Calibri, Tahoma of Verdana – all just glorified Arial! But essentially, it is easy to read. Most companies have a Font policy, as do our company, but some people clearly can’t contain their scrapbooking urges..

Is it possible to turn photos around once they have been posted on Facebook?

The thingamajing which used to turn my photos around on my computer does not work any more. I am taking photos of old ones, and can not turn them around. So frustrating. I was hoping there was a way on Facebook itself.
