10 years of accumulated and sorted bookmarks have just disappeared..............

I went to add a new bookmark and found all the old ones had disappeared.

Recovery using FEBE did not work. For some reason the bookmarks were not being backed up!
Surely that should be a default in the settings?

Fortunately a while back I used Mozbackup and the file was still accessible
so I was able to recover most of my bookmarks, but it was scary.

Now I come to the question of why they were lost?

A couple of weeks ago I loaded Chrome, and it gave me an option to import bookmarks.
I would have expected it to copy them, but perhaps it took over, and renamed the folder?
I didn't like Chrome and deleted it, and maybe my bookmarks went at the same time.

As soon as I have time I will repeat the procedure and see if it can be replicated.

According to CNET the Slim Cleaner programme has been updated and is now available.

I have downloaded it and there do appear to be some good features for keeping your PC clean and tidy.

Worth checking out.  

I allow Win 7 to recommend updates and generally I install them

Recently the updates have

1.  Turned off my fingerprint scanner

2.   Disabled Restore Points

Both of which I have had to correct manually.
At least I know what I am doing.

What is the point of updates if they ignore the current values of such basic security settings???????????????????

Most monitors have flaws, they may be too dark, too bright, or they may have a colour tint like green or blue.
All these problems can be easily fixed through Monitor Calibration Wizard.

It is an easy-to-use tool for calibrating the colours displayed by your monitor.

Having purchased a new notebook recently I have installed it
and thought a reminder to the forum might be a good idea.

Dear Members

The Gallery will be discontinued in the next forum upgrade, shortly.

Unfortunately, the gallery database has problems and is not compatible with the Board software.
Invision didn't provide any further support or updates for Gallery so we've had to let it go.
It should be possible to save your photos but you will have to do so one by one, saving to your hard disk.
You can then re-upload them to a site of your choice, such as Picasa or Flickr.
Please do so as soon as possible so that you can save your photos.

Our apologies for the inconvenience, we tried working with Invision, but it just wasn't possible to save the Gallery.
