I'm still seeing the apple lady up top. I can't wait to see BBK! I don't want the apple lady to feel bad but I always think of Snow White when I see her. You know, "Here is a lovely apple, my sweet. Heh, heh!" Not that she EVEN LOOKS like the wicked witch but her pose is like totally offering forbidden fruit!

Despite the complaint on the new format...

I do want to send a Kudo for putting a user's pic up there. Makes it very personal, and a great idea :crying:)

Ditto! It's much more personal and member supportive than apple-lady, I think.

I'm using Firefox or Safari most of the time though. Not IE6. I'll look for a cookie clearer or cache clearer. I always forget about those. I'll have to do it later though. Have to get to my weight management class.

Yeah, I use firefox too and I never have any problems. I seem to be the only one who sees neither BBK or Apple lady. I see big ads for bariatric

surgery centers. they change daily.

Clearing Cache on Firefox

  1. Click Tools and select Options.
  2. Click the Advanced icon and click the Network tab.
  3. Click Clear Now under the Cache section.
  4. Click Ok.
  5. Exit and relaunch the browser.

Clearing cache in Firefox - on the Mac :D

In an open Firefox browser, click Tools, then 'Clear Private Data'.

Make sure to tick the 'cache' box.

In Safari on the Mac its just click Safari then Empty Cache.

Rep Power was enabled by mistake today. I was about to disable it when I came up with a great idea. I want LBT to be a positive place and we really need to stop any negativity that pops up every once in a while. With that spirit in mind, members can now only leave positive reputation:thumbup:

GREAT Idea! I was wondering why I only had the option for positive feedback. Didn't have anything negative to say but didn't know why the option wasn't there. But now that you explain it I think that has got to be probably one of the best ideas I've ever heard of.

Question though.

I see my "Rep Power" and when I clicked on the scales below my last post it stated that comment had not received any "reputation" as well as how many reputations points I currently have.

OK why is my Rep Power different between my Reputation Points

AND how do I find which posts received reputation comments without backtracking and hunting down all of my old posts? Is there one place I can go to look for all my reputation responses?

That makes sense, Alex. It goes along with the old adage "If you can't say something nice about somebody, say nothing at all" :)

I agree! lol...too many people speak without thinking and cut others down!

Finally!

Thanks Alex and Parvathi!! Like I said earlier, I always forget about the cache and Cookies files.

BBK! Love your pics. You're beautiful! DH was impressed too! (Showed him your befores as well.)

The secretary in me didn't like how I'd previously ended the last sentence!

Why do we need to clean the cache? I like being able to get stuff back without having to enter things over again.

Denise, the cache takes up space on your computer and will sometimes cause glitches if there's either too much or something hinky in one of the sites you've previously visited. (As least that's how I've always understood it.) If you notice your computer sometimes running slow or something not loading right, a lot of times, if you clean out the cache and restart, your computer then works a lot better.

Practically the only place I go these days is Lap Band Talk! I am not

one to go surfing the net.

I also check my email at charter which is the cable company

I have my internet though. I have a virus protector and a spy

ware protector running all the time too.

Do you think I still need to clean it out?
