Probably powdering its nose and making itself beautiful again.The data bases were probably updating. They don't recognise day light saving at the server.

Ok three different PC's
same os / IE specs
Operating System: Windows
Operating System Version: 7
Browser: Internet Explorer
Browser version: Version 9.0.8112.16421

Date and time of the problem: 09 Oct 12 0930

Description of the problem and other relevant information.
After typing text, every time if I click to add emoticon (on the right hand side) IE freezes and goes to reload a page..
Same applies when I press submit reply button
Now what I was doing is after typing the text (like this one now) I would copy and paste it into notepad then when IE freezes and reloads I would just copy and paste text back and after second or third attempt it would work..
Autosave sometimes work sometimes doesn't ... very flakey
Using firefox works fine but its IE which is causing issue...

Good Evening All, Could you tell me where (nicely now), I can move my Private Messages to and free up my inbox, I don't want to delete them if possible. Another point, the last couple of times that I have tried to log on to the forum with my user name and password I don't get redirected and have to retype them in and then it logs me on, is there something that I have to change in my settings? I have just changed to Google Chrome, any Ideas, keep up the great work guys, cheers, Richie.

Richie, from your inbox and sent box click on the select all check box (all PMs should then be 'checked', scroll down to the "Selected Messages" button at the bottom right hand side and click on it, then choose Download as text. Once that is done (and you confirm it) you can delete the messages.

EDIT: ...or you can follow Fred's link

Hi Groggy and Big Shed, Thanks for the info, is there any way I can save the pictures as well or do I lose them as you can only move the messages as text, once again thanks for the help,cheers Richie

You have PMs with images? How do you do that? (Attach images to PMs, that is.)

This doesn't work properly, importing Favorites from IE8 to Firefox. Some bookmarks imported successfully, but most didn't. I have a lot of sub-folders in IE Favorites. All my woodworking shortcuts were in a 'Projects' folder in 'Favorites'. 'Projects' didn't import, along with a lot of other sub-folders.

My work-around was to put Firefox in the 'Send To' folder, then I open the IE 'Favorites' folder via a desktop shortcut, right click on the required shortcut and select 'Send To', then 'Mozilla Firefox'. Can't just left-click, I'm keeping IE8 as my default browser for all other sites and just using Firefox for this one for now, until I sort this out.

Is there an easier way?

I just searched but can't find where Firefox stores bookmarks. I want to add my old Favorites manually to the Firefox bookmarks folder. Does anyone know where it is? Or is it hidden?
