Message notification

[lenny59]

Dont seem to be getting message "New" notification at the moment

I used to get it but over the last few days its got very hit and miss

I am a stubborn IE browser user and the smileys dont work right because I use IE

Do you think its the same thing with the message notifications?

Lenny, what version of IE are using?

[lenny59]

Cheers for the links Chrissie ....didnt realise they had been mentioned before

Using IE 9 . . .Heard 10 is a bit hit and miss

I'd move to Firefox but cookies for sign ins/log ins etc . . .I dont think they would transfer and I cant remember half the passwords I have used over the many years on the interweb

lenny you should be able to import everything into firefox -

support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-internet-explorer?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Importing+favorites+and+other+data+from+Internet+Explorer

[lenny59]

I'll take a serious look at that Chrissie

You have been a great help....I'm grateful

Cheers

Lenny both Firefox and Chrome import all your stuff. Try them. If they don't for some reason, you will still have IE to go back to

Lenny - both FF and Chrome will import all our info, as above. I never use IE now, it's so slow and unresponsive, I use FF for most things, and Chrome as a back-up browser. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose!

Hi Lenny,

You could use lastpass as you only need one password and the rest are stored in the encrypted lastpass website which you can access from anywhere on any pc. There's an app/addon for it no matter what browser you use. It starts with asking if you want lastpass to save password and once you're up to date you can disable the browser version. You can launch websites too and the login is automatic once you put in your master password.
I've tried all sorts as I don't like browsers to hold this info and find this great!
