am I the only one who finds this thread fucking funny?

no - i pluged in my microsoft mouse that has 2 buttons and thatès working fine

What system are you using? If you are on OS X you should be using Safari instead of IE, it sucks...

http://www.apple.com/safari/

grrrrrrrrr

Sleazy,

in IE set your site as a home page then check the box marked with red here, quit then restart IE.

Do yourself a favor and stop using Internet Explorer is the first thing you should do. Use Safari or Firebird. As far as the ' it works fine on mine just by typing it, so mayb what you need to do is fix your keyboard settings.

Your keyboard settings and home page settings can be adjusted in your system prefs. so go click the apple in the top left corner and scroll to system prefs then select Internet for your home page settings to fix and Keyboard & Mouse to fix your keyboard.

:glugglug

Jesus fucking christ, stop it already, I am crying tears here laughing :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


Sorry Sleazy.

Oh yeah MacPimps.com

quit and restart - fuck thatès stupid. but it worked. PCs donèt need to do that


now what about these fucking ééééééééééééééééééééééééés

When you change the home page, and click the "ok" icon, "quit" IE. then when you open IE again, your home page should be set the one that you changed it to.

As for the wierd characters, this happened to me when I was fucking around with the "languages" and shit...i believe this is how I fixed it although it was a while ago...lol.

Go to "System Preferences", click the "international" icon (should be on the top row) and then select "input menu". From there, make sure that the icons for "character pallette" and "keyboard viewer" are checked off.
On the "menu" where it has "Language", Formats, "Input Menu" select "formats" and make sure your region code is set to "united states".

That should do it...hopefully.
=)

Well, do you think Microsoft is going to make a decent browser for macs? :)

Safari is great, way better then IE.

I have heard good things about other ones too... the keyboard might be set on another language or something odd, check it in the system.

System Prefs and then International and Mouse and keyboards.

There are no stupid mac questions, just plenty of stupid mac users. :2 cents:

holly fucking crap is this ever stupid - so when I have the keyboard set to canada I can't use ":;?/ etc. that is sooo fucking stupid.

i set it to USA and it all works fine

thanks for the help - that seemed to fix the problem

The quit and restart always work :)

Now go to the apple on the screen top left and scroll down to Control panels where you can find and set your keyboard and mouse settings.

:thumbsup

dude - no fuckig kidding -12 years ago I took a credit corse at university called 'computer usage' to satisfy my science credits and one of the questions on the multpile choice final exam was where is the on button.

... hèlp mè plèasè ... I got a nèw mac too.

Except those who are new to it.. but they will learn that much faster being so user friendly and bye-bye viruses, spyware and all that jazz.
:Graucho

Oh no babe.. when you were trying that frameless popup code so hard, I looked it up for you and posted it for you but it went unanswered. Now I have better things to do in my web time, you hear?

:)

Check this thread when he buys the mac:

to which Sleazy replies....

:glugglug

Hey Sleazy it is just a tin box with wires.....bash it with a hammer a few times that should work!!!

you'll get used to it.

welcome to the fold sleazy, mac's rock!

tried that once with a PC laptop - it didn't work too well

the end is coming, welcome to the illuminati

And you can use IE of course... but any Mozilla versions or Safari are much better.

this thread perfectly illustrates why someone USED to windows
should never switch to Mac..

Mac's are for Music, Movies and Bitches.

You were probably using Canada - Multilingual, you need to use the USA layout to loose the accents :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So you set your homepage but do not want it to go there? Why would you have to check a box to tell it to go there? Durrrrrrrr

because without the check, your homepage only loads up on launch, not each time you open a new window. if you want the homepage to load each time you open a new window, you check the box. Durrrrrr.

Quiet,

thanks for helping me out :)

I think you missed the point of a homepage there buddy-boy.

What kind of system did you get Sleazy, G5? BTW these guys are right about Safari, it's way better than IE.

you're not alone

WTF ... I din't thank you ... please accept my appologies, I missed that one.

thanks for helping me there, my girlfriend was very impressed !!

No he didn't.. with these settings on you start with a blank page. if you hit the Home button you get the page you specified.

:)

it still only takes effect once you end the program and restart it though

Every time to change your preferences, you have to quit and restart programs once so they take effect, be it IE or Photoshop.

um.. no you have.. you should only go to the home page when you first launch IE when you start work or when you press the "home" button.. not every time you open a bloody new window. I sometimes have 18 windows open at a time during normal work/surfing it would get annoying to load up the home page each time (and as my homepage is gfy i'd never get anything done.)

BILL GATES WHAT HAVE U DONE TO US!?!!??!

brutally obvious to most :)
