Week 12 Discussion Board part1 Computer Glitches strick me down in Uni discussion Board

Thursday, 27 May 2010 8:53:46 AM EST Help from Desley

Hi Desley,
Went into my post from last week. I struggled and put my post on three times cause it keep not putting in the bottom part of my post.

I gave up in frustration.

But now there has been replies and yours was the only one I can see responding to Vanessa re not being able to see posts. I am very concerned that you have been having this issue all semester.

How do you open in through firefox, so I can see what has been said.
Thanks, Karen

Karen and Desley
I too have been having problems all semester with posting responses from my home computer. I can only to it from uni or work. It's been a bit of a pain wanting to contribute to discussions but having to wait until I could use a computer that I could respond from. I'm going to try firefox too.

Hey there,
Some times i do have a problem accessing the uni website and that is not just the discussion board but the library, uq mail and blackboard; as for my sinet sonnet i wont even go there. It usually happens when have quite a number of windows open and i have to shut the whole system down and restart and then it works. I hope you are able to access the board.
All the best Sylvia

Hi Karen, Cindy, Sylvia and everyone

My technology knowledge so far is one of trial and error, so I can't say for sure that Firefox is the answer to the problem but I've found since using it that I have been able to see all posts in full. The main problem seemed to be on my home computer. Like Cindy I have been able to see all the posts in full on Uni computers most of the time, but as Sylvia mentioned every now and then they haven't worked for me either.

Karen, I've attached the website which takes you straight to the Firefox web page and in the right hand corner there is a large green tab under "Get Firefox". If you click on this it will take you through the step by step process of downloading it onto your computer. You won't have to get rid of Internet Explorer, you can have both. I hope this works for you.
