Hi

Thank you for your help.
Gene I don't understand what you mean by too many carriage returns.

As for Firefox I would like to stay away from it. I have it now on my old
Wins XP machine that has given me much grief.
No matter what I've done/tried I can not get it to work properly.
Not even their' fix it' fix the problems. Couldn't remove it either off my
computer.
I believe it started with one of their updates so I'm afraid using it
again with this new one.
Hubby got fed up with me cursing at my pc he bought me a new computer. lol
Has that made me stop cursing, yelling at this one..heck no!
Windows 8 is a whole different learning curve & don't like it!!
Now with the problems I'm having now, this homepage issue, & don't know
how
to fix it or where to go for help (but here) I'm just about to throw this
machine out the window!!

On top of this, of all things, this new email program OEClassic, it's
newsgroup capability is
only a reader, can't post to it!! Said, maybe down the road it will be!
Oh heck!
I really don't want to use Window Live but if I'm going to want to
continue having the
newsgroups I'll have to. Unless there is another way, is there?!
Is there a way to have these newsgroups without it being attach to a email
program?
I'll be very upset if I'm told no!
I can live without my homepage but not the NGS!

Again thanks you guys!!

Diane

Hello Everyone

Still not much better so I haven't been on my computer much, let alone
reading those complicated computer books to learn Wins 8.

Reading through the many pages of infor I printed from all your help
with my issue I found (thanks Big Al) where those .dbx files

for OEClassic are stored. Plus other things I was curious to find.

Big Al your explanation where and how to use 'search' was extremely
helpful, though it didn't show the exact 'path' of where those .dbx
files (for oeclassic) were but it gave me a direction to do so. So doing
a happy dance right now!!

Still digesting the other information you all have provided me, when I
feel better I'm sure I'll have other questions.

As for the Import/Export I see now how I confused/mixed them up. I
should know better, to think before I write.

And thanks for pointing that out to me!

Okay got another problem or least think I do. Don't know if it has
anything to do with this but happened after it was done.

I had Windows 8, hubby updated to 8.1. My browser is IE 11. My homepage
is My Yahoo.

Since this update my homepage will not load completely, only some of it.
I've refresh it many times still won't complete.

I wouldn't care so much but I've personalized it to the way I want it.
Don't have the foggiest idea why going to Wins 8.1

would effect just my homepage. Any ideas? However IE does load
completely.

(Too many carriage returns!)

What I would do is to look at that page in a different browser, as a
debugging technique. I.e., see how it acts there. It could just be that
your homepage site is temporarily messed up, which a second browser would
tend to verify - or not.

That *does* require installing another browser, which might not be your
idea of fun :-)

The extra ones I have are
Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
Chrome https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
Safari (see remark)

Actually, IE is an extra, since I use Firefox.

Safari remark: the other browsers make it easy (well, possible) to find
their websites; Safari doesn't, and Apple's web site doesn't either. I
gave up.

Hi
Once more thank you for your help.
Gene I see by what you mean about the carriage returns by my post on 1/18.
As far as I can recall I didn't hit 'enter' to make those spaces for every
sentence so I have no idea why it did.
Then with post dated 1/19 my paragraphs appear normal, to me anyway. I also
have no idea how or why my messages appear as you all see them. I do at
times hit (CR) to begin a new sentence on a new line if I'm talking about
something different. As you will see I'm trying not to hit (CR) as I type
now. We see how that'll look like on a return post. How my messages appear
to everyone is there something wrong, something I need to look into and fix?
And how?

Still haven't been able to fix my, My Yahoo homepage that won't completely
load as it should in Wins 8.1. And I can't find their email to contact them.
So darn frustrating!!

Now for the biggy! Determining which email program to use, one that has
full NG capability. NOT just a reader!! So disappointed to find out
OEClassic NG is just that, a reader. They say they will make it so people
can post in it but that'll be down the road, sorry don't want to wait for
whatever. Silver Slimer mentioned 2 programs, TB and Opera Mail. However,
said TB is a resource hog like FF. And do I know that!! I know people who
use TB & love it, never any problems. At least I was able to see what it
looks like & how it function. But if anything like how FF behaved I'm not to
sure about it, if I want to deal with that nightmare again. I have no idea
about Opera Mail, don't know anyone who has it. I did some checking saw some
pictures of it, looks okay. Couldn't find much details though. If I were to
go towards Opera Mail I would have to download their browser also right? Can
someone please give me their opinion on that? On both if you don't mind. I
need to make a decision soon for I am suppose to give my old pc to my grand
daughter, she's about to hand me my head if I don't fairly soon.
Another question if you don't mind. Lets say I chose one don't like it &
want to try the other how difficult would it be to delete it? Is there a
chance it could mess up my new computer if I do that?
I also like to say since this doesn't pertain to this NG topic, don't want
to get anyone mad, to contact me through email instead.
Thanks everyone!

Diane
