Unable to acess Help/Surnames/Library/Shop COMPLETED
« on: Monday 16 November 09 11:14 GMT (UK) »
I recently changed ISP and got a new laptop at the same time.  Rootschat is in my favourites list but I find I am unable to access Help/Surnames/Library/Shop.

I've not tried Chatterbox or Logout as I do not use those.

Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions please?   Simple language as I have no computer expertise.  ;)

Thanks,

Nanny Jan

are you getting any error condition message / manifestation ? or just that the pages wont load?

The Help facility is part of the www.rootschat domain, but the others are different domains  ... is there anyway you have set up your browser to reject any domain names? Or perhaps a Firewall setting?

No error messages;  the items just do not appear.

Computer-savvy son is due to visit in a few days, I'll get him to check browser etc.


Thanks for the advice,

Long shot but sometimes it fixes problems such as these but have you tried unplugging your router, leave it off for 3 or 4 minutes before plugging it back in again. Wait a further couple of  minutes for the internet connection to work again and see what happens.

Hi Alan b,

Tried the "unplug router trick"  but it did not cure the problem; fingers crossed that son will visit soon.

Have tried various suggestions sent by son who is not able to visit as family are all struck down bu flu.

Is it now time to call in a local computer/internet fixer?

All advice very welcome.  :)

What browser are you using? I have some sites that don't like Firefox or Internet Explorer so have to use other browser for them- although Rootschat fine on both for me.
