Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[lotti]

Another quick note, we've been having all kinds of problems with the Internet explorer at the office lately. To the point where my colleague (vp of R&D, so totally computer savvy), couldn't check in his flight the other day.... Lufthansa flight booked on the Swiss website. so when the invitation for online checkin came via email, the link was to the lufthansa website, but from there it was transferred to Swiss, by the time the IE connected there, it had lost all the details and the ticket. Ticket and passengers could not be found. When we tried on my PC, using google chrome it worked perfectly well...

Microsoft is probably working overtime on trying to get windows 9 in order, as win 8 is clearly useless, so I guess they don't have time for proper updates and bug fixes on the IE.

Norma--your tutorial is wonderful. I had no problem getting to it or reading it. I was not able to go to the link for where you get your thread. Maureen, are you using Google Chrome? I am finding that I am having lots of problems with Internet Explorer(of course it could just be Window 8) . If you are not--that could be why you are getting gobblygook.

Thank you, Ritzy for telling me this. I checked the link in the beginning, when I put it in, but not in the latest edition
I'm so sorry, somehow a k has disappeared in the link. I have no idea how that happened :evil: .
The correct link is here:
http://www.barnyarns.co.uk/Madeira-P...RO-c-1218.html

It is corrected in the document, so please download it again.

Norma, The tutorial was great and I was able to download it to my dropbox and open it again. Thanks so much.

Ok--you would think that I could do all this in one post, but apparently the anticipation of seeing Eli is frying my brain. Just wanted to add that I sent a mug rug out for Nancy today. Rosemary, I am still working on yours. I think I am done--at least for this moment in time.

Hmm, it looks like my response to this got lost in the ether...

I can hardly wait! I'll be watching the mailbox every day! I'm so excited!!

Thanks everyone for suggestion what to do about technical things. At the moment I use Firefox but I have chrome as well. Trouble is I have an old computer and it has XP. I am getting ready to throw it out the window at the moment, as it is soooo slow. I will get one when I come back from holiday but there have been so many complaints about Win 8!!!

I usually have no problem opening PDF files as I use them a lot so I don’t know what happened this time. Norma kindly sent me the file without going through the link, thank you Norma, and Lois said she saved it to her computer so I saved it to my documents and it worked that time, strange.

Margo, I went back in before I read all the posts and sure enough the icon was there. Thank you all for your help.

Lorchen I love the photos of you and baby Faye. My youngest grandson has just turned 24 but I can still remember the happiness and love I felt when I held my grandchildren in my arms for the first time. A wondrous feeling.

Hi Maureen -

I use Firefox on Windows XP, too, but didn't have any problem downloading Norma's PDF file. I, too, need a new computer but really, really, really don't want to use Windows 8. For now, I'm putting off the upgrade hoping that things will change (but knowing they won't and I'll have to bite the bullet at some point).

This doesn't help you figure out why yours didn't work, but at least lets you know that it can work without an upgrade.

Now this is really off topic, but all of you know who are having problems with Windows 8. You could get a Mac. I love mine!

[idaho]

I don't have anything to offer, Maureen....but I have an older PC with XP and use Firefox.... :shock:
I didn't have any problems..like Nancy...but I know it coulda been just as easily as not !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lois, was it hard to learn to use the Mac ?? I'm such a novice !

Congratulations Lorchen . Your new granddaughter is adorable.

[djane]

now, for me- the term 'dropbox' sounds very scary and criminal. I haven't tried that yet! :roll:

[djane]

Lorchen you and your granddaughter are both beautiful Capture all the little cuddles you can.

I don't know--the only forum threads I don't get notices on are the ones I have never posted on. They still show up as a new post but I don't get notification.

Terri,
If you have Adobe Acrobat on your computer the .pdf file will download normally and you can open and save it. I've never heard of "dropbox" so figure it must be something used outside the U.S.

I am using Windows 8 and don't have any problems with it. I did have to ask how to maneuver as it doesn't load up exactly like XP or any other of the Windows start pages. Once you get used to it, it's just fine. If you have a smart phone and use apps at all, then you will probably not have any issues as it was designed to be used in the same manner.
