Seems better today; I wonder if it was my new updated AVG "bedding in" that caused the problem. Remember we now have update Tuesday to look forward to.

Hi

Avatars OFF?

Select PROFILE from Rootschat (top) Menu

Select Look & Layout Preferences from the Modify Profile box on the left.

Select "Don't show other users' avatars." (3rd tick box down)

Select Change Profile (bottom right)

Avatars OFF!

Enjoy

Thanks Ray
Must try that.  Some of them are OK, but I agree some of the moving ones are distracting

The library computer system is quite slow.

Per the librarian computer access has been slow or even slower all week. She said it was due to the large number of people on the web attempting to keep up with the downward spiral of the world economy, and the news from Britain and various other European countires. 

She also mentioned summer vacation will soon end here for kids and the fact that it has been mighty hot and humid throughout the majority of the United States leading to increased electrical usage and rolling brownouts.

Could be yn9man, but so far today it all seems normal and OK. Maybe it's because the rain here has dampened the riots for the time being.

And now it's slowed down again, everyone trying to sign a petition perhaps?
