diemai Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Hi , fellas , Tried to reply a to a members request last night intending to copy a YouTube video and paste it into my post for a better , visual explanation on the topic . When clicking on the link symbol on the toolbar above the text square , a new window would pop up now , different to the one that used to do , ......and if I paste the link's code into it , nothing would happen other than the link code would be readable there , in fact nothing reacts anymore on the TU site opened ! I can't quit that field by clicking the red "X" in upper right corner , in this case a new window would pop up , but still no reaction after clicking on the squares there , ......apart from these two windows popping up , the site kinda freezes , .....have to shut down TU entirely and re-open the starter screen to get new access to the forums , ...of course the reply text field with my previously typed text would have been gone as well . I'm a computer dummy and I'm wondering , whether something's wrong on my side(had recent updates on my Windows some days ago) , .......or someone could explain the correct use of this new window popping up after having clicked the "link" lcon on the text field's toolbar ? Thanks a lot , ....cheers , Dieter PS : Just noticed , that I cannot place the attached picture into the text anymore as well , ......was possible before to place it at any line of the text as desired .

Curt - NC Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hey Dieter, everything seems to be fine on my end. What web browser do you use? If it's Internet Explorer, that browser seems to have more problems than all other browsers combined! Try downloading and installing Firefox. It's all I use. And it's a free download. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks a lot for your efforts , Curt , ...so I guess the problem must be on my side , guess it has to do with my recent Windows update , I remember to have clicked one certain option in a window , that popped up after the update ,.......going to look , whether I could do something about it ! Thanks again , ...greetz , Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 You're welcome, Dieter! As I said, give Firefox a try. You will probably eliminate a large percentage of your headaches instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Still had Google Chrome downloaded on my computer , since the site of my fishing club only works with this browser , not with Internet Explorer either , ......obviously it functions now to link video's and pictures here on TU as well ! video test: picture test : Seems to work ! Prior to trying out Google Chrome browser for this post I did a system set-back to the date prior to the suspected Windows update and tried linking and attaching pictures into the text again , but it did not help , ...same problem as before occured ! Anyway , I can be using Google Chrome for the TackleUnderground now , .....wish I was a bit smarter about computers . ................and I still have the Firefox option as well , ...thanks for the download link ! Thanks a lot for your help , ....greetz , Dieter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I've been using Firefox for a number of years now Dieter and it performs much, much better than Explorer. Never used Chrome so I can't comment on it. good luck my friend, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Chrome is a good browser overall, but I don't like the fact that Google built it. My gut feeling is that Chrome has a lot of built in tracking devices and transmits info back to Google to "help them improve" the user experience. Google is not the good guy that everyone thinks they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
