Thank you Esel. I will say it to the daughter. If it will sort it out I will be a very happy old codger.
Kindest regards.
Tom.
Install a cheap Solid State Disk (SSD) and put your OS and applications on that. Also, more RAM would probably help too.
I switched on my computer at 658 and only now can I use it. It took all that time to 'warm up the valves'. It is getting worse over the past few months and occasionally locks up. I run CCleaner regularly but it really does not sort the problem. I tried CTRL ALT Delete but nothing stands out as using a lot of data. My daughter says it is time to change the computer, which is not a problem but I would hate to scrap something that might be fixed. I reboot regularly during the day but it locks up eventually. The computer is a desktop and two tbytes of storage. I run Chrome and excel mainly.
Can you help please? Any suggestions would be most helpful as it is very frustrating waiting to start or restart.
Don't wait in hope Jb1 we are going to have to teach them - that's our only way out of the situation they landed us in - as far as I can reckon!
So how do we silver surfers teach splash pool toddlers how to surf? /wink wink
I hate being tied to the mobile. The computer is much more comfortable for me. Hope this site improves soon, can't believe this changeover has created so many problems. Often wonder if those doing the changeover really knew anything about Boards at all as so many things have been mucked up! We wait in hope.
Agreed JB, I use my phone as little as possible - just for making phone calls and sending texts - I much prefer to use the laptop.
Unfortunately, I've only been able to change certain setting when logged in from my phone, and not from the computer, nor from the mobile with "desktop mode" (in the browser settings) switched on.
Finally found the thread on the 17th page there. What does 'mobile mode' mean, I don't use my mobile for internet stuff, I only use the desktop computer.
Found it, at last! You need to go to this page https://www.boards.ie/discussions/ and unclick the stars from there specifically.
You may have to switch to mobile "mode" to see it properly.
Desktop
I'm getting the same with some threads on the Christmas forum. No known fix, as of yet, I'm afraid.
on phone or desktop
This is probably more a Boards question but does anyone know how I can unsubscribe from a thread which I know I also unsubscribed from??? There is no bell to click just a little tab. I've clicked the thing several times and I know I'm unsubscribed but I'm still getting the notifications of new posts! Its the Newstalk Megathread. 😕 And its infuriating!
Thanks Kimbot
finally sorted
If you are on an android phone then go to "Settings" then in here there should be a "Notifications" section so click into it, scroll down to the relevant app and click on it. You should see a button to enable notifications for that app or disable them etc.
Thanks New Home.
Tried that but nothing there.
Maybe ill just go to 3 shop and ask one of their young tech wizards have a look
There's a spam folder for text messages, too (at least, in Android). Go to your messages and click on the three dots. You should get a drop down menu where you should be able to see "Spam and blocked", or something similar.
What phone?
Standard?
This is in my phone rather than pc
Check in your spam message folder, maybe they end up in there.
Push Notifications
I used to be able to play lotto online or order just eat online
Now they send me a message from my bank saying press your mobile no.
Nothig happens and i get no mesage on my phone.
Seemingly push notifications is disabled on my phone.
I have googled how to enable it through settings but no matter what I try cant get it to work.
Anyone got an easy solution for a non tech person?
Thankss

I wanted to send my colleague a step-by-step photo instruction on how to use some of the functions of our office software, but I ran into this problem "can't take screenshot due to security policy". I didn't have much time, so I used the first Windows screen recorder that I found here https://www.movavi.com/screen-recorder/ and it worked. I cann't understand why I couldn't take a photo of the screen while I was able to record on video all my actions that were visible on the monitor. Any ideas?
