General Computer Questions, Etc.

Any chance you have the Add-on NoScript? (Click Tools/Add-ons to bring up a list of add-ons.) If you do, right-click anywhere in the Library window, click on NoScript in the menu that pops up, then click to allow bdsmlibrary.com.

The only other thing I can think of is to open the library in Internet Explorer, to see if that works with the library.

One more thought. I'm not very familiar with Vista, but if you're using that there may be a security issue there. Someone else would have to help with that. I seem to recall on my dad's pc that security questions frequently pop up and it's possible you banned the library in Windows.

That's about as far as I can go. I'll keep thinking about it, though, and let you know if I come up with anything else.

Good luck!

Right now, i'm using IE and everything seems good...i see everything i'm suppose to :D

NoScript was not on the lists of Add-ons and i had Vista til about a month ago...

i still think i unintentionally, blocked the Library from doing something, though.

Your help is greatly appreciated...Huge hugssss and Many thanks!!!

xx rosie

Sorry I couldn't figure it out. But if you're seeing everything in IE then you must have done something in Firefox to block the library. Or maybe in your firewall.

Anyway, glad you can still get here.

Thanks, Thorne! :D You've been wonderful and huge help...Hugs!!

I think what you did was take the check marks out of java ,signatures and Avs
Go to user cp
edit options
thread options make sure all are checked
think that will solve problem

Thx Midnyte and big hugsss...i was hoping that was the case also but,
they are checked as i stated in opening post...i just checked again
to make sure. *sighs* Yep, they are! :D
Thx, again...i appreciate it!

Did you check them in Firefox, or in IE? Might make a difference. Also, did you try clearing all your cookies in Firefox? I don't know if those settings are stored there, but it's possible.

One more suggestion
You say you use firefox
when you changed your settings here you may have set the image block on your tool bar for firefox on, it will not allow images to be seen on the site if it has them to blocked this is seperate from the tools and options , it is on the toolbar itself should be to the right of toolbar with each site it has own settings, new with firefox, you may have it and not even know as update sent it to you
I didnt know I had it tried it and all avs pictures were gone from site, enabled pictures now back again

Hi Midnyte...i don't have that option so i'm guessing i have an older version of Firefox....
Wondering if uninstalling and installing the newer version would help?
Thx and hugssss!

thre fire fox site says the files can be corrupted, if you type into google your exact problem it gives list of steps the only one left is to uninstall and reinstall on the site sorry nothing else worked

I will try to make this in depth and brief. I have several problems with My computer.

1) I have something in the address bar I can not explain. There is a small "m" in my home page **i.e. "m.yahoo.com"** I do not seem to be able to change this no matter what.

2) I have found several viruses. I use both Norton, and Zone Alarm to protect against that sort of thing.
a) I use Dr Web Cureit to find and remove these
b) I have turned of the Restore Point.
however whenever I run the scan, the show up again.

I kinda know where these problems are coming from. My mom is using Big Fish Games, and try as I might, I do not seem to be able to stop here from returning there.

*** it's a long story, but because of health reason(hers) it was determined that some how I should be he one to keep her in My home***

So I don't want to be a prick, and shut her off from the games, but I keep getting infected Well My PC does.

Lastly about a week ago, I woke up to My mother on the computer, and looking at the "Blue Screen of Death"

I re-booted and the PC has been working reasonably well.

Until yesterday. I was on a site, and a bout every 15 to 20 minutes My PC would just stop responding. I would have to do a hard boot. Only to encounter the same thing repeatedly.


Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I will try to supply any more information, if I can.

Thanks,
MrEmann

i'm fairly certain the m.yahoo thing is normal. mine is the same way. this computer i'm using is only a week or two old, and i'm (pretty) certain that i haven't picked up any viruses.

i don't know what a big fish game is, but if you think that is the problem, you have two options.

1. let your mother keep playing them. eventually, your computer will have an aneurysm and die. your mother will be unable to play big fish games.
2. cut your mother off from big fish games. you will still be able to use your computer. your mother will be unable to play big fish games.

as for viruses, they are notoriously tenacious. unless you have your HD wiped, i don't think you can completely remove them. utilizing more than one virus program might be advantageous, as well as installing a program called 'rogue remover', which can be found for free. i was having problems with my computer back in the day, and i used rogue remover. it didnt cure my computer, but at least it was something.

finally: i dont know you, and i dont really care to know your porn habits. but many viruses bypass the antivirus software because they attach themselves to JPG files. norton and zone alarm are not going to pick up on these, because the user has consciously accepted the virus into the computer. they're called 'trojan' viruses for a reason. seeing a picture on a website is like the citizens of troy looking out at the trojan horse. but as soon as you save that jpg to your hd--bring the horse into the city--well, we all know what happens then.

best of luck with your computer.

Just a few notes that might help you out.

Download SpyBot Search & Destroy, from Safer Networking. It's free and I've found it to be very helpful. When installing, allow it to turn on Tea Timer. This starts up with your computer and runs in the background, notifying you of any changes to your registry. It can stop a virus from doing any further harm. There is also an add-on for Internet Explorer that can help. One feature that might prove useful is to have Spybot run at boot-up, hopefully catching the problems before they can run. It's pretty good for a free product.

Another one I've found helpful is something called Malwarebytes, another free program. Easy to use and fairly extensive. Regular updates, several times a week.

Good luck! I know it can be a real pain to take care of this crap.

It sounds like you have a FAT virus , once a virus gets into the FAT {file allocation table}
it replicates and stays there most virus programs don't scan the FAT as it isn't the files on your computer but the way the files are seen and used, one byte of information corrupted and the computer can't recognize the file, the file is clean, but the way its read and processed isn't, I personally don't use any of the virus programs offered but use one from my internet provider that scans data before it even is seen by my computer.
Bigfish it is freeware has a warning on there site that they are not responsible because anyone can download and upload games to it

Back up your files, run the best virus scan and prepare to reload windows, you will have to scrub it completely clean...run the fdisk program in windows from bootup, and delete the FAT completely then build another and format the HD ... then reload windows...restore will not set the FAT back only the files.

Another resource you can use is the Norton (or McAfee) website. They have detailed instructions for removing viruses. Most involve editing the registry, which can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Run your scans and, if you do find a virus, check it out on the antivirus websites to see if it can be removed completely.

I need to change my e-mail and contact information. How do I do this?

use user cp it has the area to do it

thanks man

Thanks to A/all that helped out here. I will be backing up My files and scrubbing the system it would seem. Thanks again.

I take my time writing mails, sometimes looking things up etc. For that reason, I get thrown out and must sign up again. That is not so bad, but right now the system is back to throwing me out completely, so I have to look up the library again and start all over. In fact, the only way I can post is to go to a text program, cut and paste the orginal mail onto it, write my answer, and then try to cut and paste it back into original mail, which is almost impossible!

I have just lost an hour's work on this, and not for the first time. What on earth should I do?????

I ussually pull anything long that I am working on into my Microsoft Word Program where I can save it at will etc, and then when I am finnished I log back into the site and post it into the appropriate area of the forums.

You have this problem too? I do that, but it is such a long-winded way of doing it, I think.

Do you have the "remember me" box checked when you log on?

If the "not logged in" message appears, you can save your effort by looging in from that very screen... because the board buffers your submission while you verify you're a member (but not if you leave that page.)

When you say you've been tossed totally out... can you give more detail? That sounds like a problem with your own network or your internet access or the ISP server.

Lastly, an easier work around is, before posting, just highlight everything and ctl-C copy it. Then, if tossed out, you can open notepad and paste it there(or hold it in the clipboard) until you get back to the site...

I haven't so far, as I see it as less safe.

That is what I am doing, and that is when it tosses me out.

Rats!! You are probably right there, if I am the only one with this problem.
What happens is I sign in again in the box offfered and when I push enter, the Library does not come back, but just disappears.

Actually, my pc will hold on to it until I am back in the Library - good system which I had forgotten, and forget to use :32:

Well thanks, both of you. I will work with it further, probably with this last solution.

I had that problem too, whenn my dsl-router was set to a short time to hold it's connection and I hadn't checked that said "remember me" box. After a longer time setting the problem was gone.

btw: I always write longer posts in a word-processor or notepad, because I have lost many posts or mails when I started on the internet a long long long time ago. ;-)

I'll assume it's a known issue, but went to use BDSM tube today and it's showing there as not being any videos. Is it that the tube is some sort of donation reward feature, or was there just a crash or something?

Ah. But you can still log out after your session and that clears your cookies. So they only exist during your session but you're less likely to get timed out.

Hi,

Because of some life issues I need to delete my id from the server. How do I go about this.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I sent you a PM on this

Good luck

Hi,

I'm wondering whether anyone knows how to block specific images on the site - namesly the NSFW stuff - a have a 4 years old wandering around for much of my day and the notion of him oggling pictures of women in hard bondage is - understandably- unacceptable.

I've got firefox and I tried block all images from the site earlier - with odd consequences. While the target images vanished, I also found that I lose avatars (both forum and chat) and - most weirdly - the "new thread" button on the forums, which meant that I couldn't post this query at all until I was certain he was asleep and not about to wander in on me as I had to unblock the images to be able to retrieve the "new post" button.

I love this site already and I don't want my use of it here to be limited to darkest evenings only by a mere technical issue. So I'm hoping that someone knows how I can block the adult content without also blocking the avatars and forum options, too.

Thanks in advance,

shel x
