Lori I think it'd be great if folks started using it again. It's not connected to Gaga, though, so might not be top of mind. It was so fun when you guys discovered it! [ more ]
Triggers Aww thanks Lori! I was remembering how we all started our lives here. It was a wonderful time as we regrouped, bonded and got to know new people and those already in Livecloud's wider community. How cute was it to ask a friend to be a buddy or be invited to be someone else's?! Thanks for my link - it was nice to go back - and how brilliant that I can visit my buddies' sites as well through my own page! I hope all is well with you and your loved ones, take care, and thanks again. x [ more ]
Lori Hi, Triggers! Yours is here . Would be fun if you started using it again! [ more ]

El Loro muf, usage can depend on which version of Windows (if you are using Windows) you have. I suspect that single core, dual core and quad core processors will have different effects on usage. As you have Youtube running ay the same time, then if you have loaded a clip, but you don't leave that page after having played the clip before sswitching to say here, I think that clip remains loaded in your pc memory.

Rosemary O'Neill Hi and congrats again! We don't plan to delete any of the threads during the migration to LiveCloud, so your baby thread will be intact. After my kidlets were born, I printed a color version of the congrats thread and put it in their baby book It's fun to look back on it and remember old friends. [ more ]
El Loro We have been told that everything is being transferred over so I assume your thread would still be there. I don't know if it is possible to download an entire thread at one go but it is possible to save each page on a page by page basis. If using Internet Explorer, go to File, then select Save As. There are 4 options. Webpage Complete will save the contents of the page you are on including graphics. Webpage Archive does the same but the page will be saved in one file rather than Complete...

Embedding BBC clips
Baz Ummmm.....ok , its a bit too technical for me ....I need the Noddy Does version .....but I'll take you word for it El [ more ]
El Loro Please note that when embedding a BBC clip, it's part of the BBC terms and condtions that you don't remove any of the content and that there should be a link to the article and where it's from on the BBC site. So that's why in the clip above I've made sure that the Read the full article | BBC News website is showing and also I think it's best to show the BBC logo at the bottom. [ more ]

Maintenance outage expected early morning
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Aha! Looks like I've missed all the Weeping and Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth then, as I'm only just up. Thanks for interrupting your holiday to tell us this Lori. Enjoy the rest of it. However, I'm just getting cogs when I try to post (8:30 BST) so maybe not, or maybe it's the Infernal Server Error rearing its ugly head! [ more ]

Mac Airbook problems
Baz I am on a Mac Airbook right this minute Xochi, and it is working fine.... but like El Loro says it could be that you need to update either your operating system, or your Safari As for everything else, I have been using mine (well catually it's Mr Baz's ) for about a year and have no probs with either the forum, or the battery life Hope you can sort it out [ more ]
El Loro I hear from Zaphod that you have been having problems with being able to post at all. It may be that you need to update your Mac operating system and your Safari browser. I have found these links for recent versions which may help. Mac OS X v.10.6.6 Safari 5.0.3 [ more ]
El Loro As another member and I don't have a MAC I can't help that much, but as far as the plugin for embedded videos are concerned this refers to the need to have Flash Player installed. This is a link to the Adobe download page for Flash Player . On my computer it automatically recognises which computer system I use, so hopefully this will be the same for you. Manually you can select MAC operating system OS X v 10.4-10.6, so provided a MAC Airbook uses this, it should work. I think Seattle are... [ more ]
