Re.Avatars on my P.C? "Compleated"
« on: Monday 05 October 09 12:14 UTC (UK) »

I was looking for lost frames in the find all pictures plus hidden ones.I saw lots of Avatars, I recognize a few of them, in there, are they members avatars Undecided or the shields from the programs, Cathy's is there as well, as a picture like others.Now I am not sure Undecided
I don't intend doing any deleting as it isn't safe to do so Grin
Just curious

Didn't know there was such a thing, did you mean just on your PC, or on Roots?

pretty sure what you mean will be  'hidden' images are cache files from web browsing.
so yes safe to delete, you may find you have A LOT, so delete so many at a time,
as it may hang your comp' for a while

thought i had best add in case you are still worried about deleting,
when you visit a website, or even a post on roots that has an image it will d/l it so next time you visit,
it will (or supposed to) load faster, so you may find on your computer images from websites that you may not have visited for a LONG time, and may never again,
hence when you open a picture on roots for example, if you then open it again it will open a lot faster,
lol hope all that makes sense

Most of what i found were my photo some of those i had thought i had lost.Obviously they are still hidden on the disk Grin I did discover many moons ago that when you clicked on picture on a website that picture downloaded on the pewter.So i don't do that anymore Grin if i do i go though the hidden ones now and then and delete them.They are so small though its not a problem.The others belong to programs on the P.c .I don't think i have ever opened a picture on rootschat there are non to open.So are you saying that all the avatars of members .That i have replied to over 5? years go into my computer.

photos on the restoration part of the forum?
yes the avatars can go to your cached files, but they are probably deleted after a time or overwritten,
depending on your internet options

An explanation of what happened to Clipboard here:-

http://www.andyrathbone.com/2009/08/24/wheres-the-clipboard-viewer-in-windows-xp/

A shorthand way of launching it is to create a shortcut to the location mentioned in the article above or you can launch it by clicking on:

Start >> Run and type: Clipbrd in the box and click the OK button.

Just elaborate on what others have said in relation to browsing cache.

The way the Internet works is using client/server technology.  Your PC is a client and what it does is download webpages from a server.  Everything you are looking at is on your C drive in a folder called Temporary Internet Files (if you are using Internet Explorer).  A webpage is a series of objects e.g. avatars, text, jpgs .gif .jpg .tif, JavaScripts, Cascading Style Sheets etc.  So the reason you are finding avatars on your local C drive is because you have been looking at a webpage that contains them and that webpage and all its objects is residing in Temporary Internet Files.

If you click on Tools >> Delete Browsing History and select Temporary Internet Files, then you will remove those avatars.  However, then next time you visit Rootschat.com you will download them again when you look at various webpages on the website.

Downside
Yes i am aware of the temporary internet files,but i moved on to the clipboard now called clipbook,see previous post.It looks like a big chunk of the clipboard program is missing as said on the site.So its useless now because you cant use it,even though all the pictures are there that you could resize to fit if you had a website to put them on.Never mind they are old anyway.When i had my other machine 6 years ago you could do an update on the pictures if you had a website.Thank you for your help on both subjects they have been very helpfull
