Just logged in - eventually - and I wonder.....

is it just me?

I cannot select most things on GR. i.e.

Home
Family Tree
Relatives
Hot Matches
Community
Messages
Search

That said, I can select and move easily around my tree.

Wierd ot what?

Hello, Joy! How are you?

Yes, it is a cracker of a picture, isn't it! Thanks for saying so.

She was always a cracker to me, anyway!

I do miss her so very much!

To select any of those above you have to hover over the title then select from the drop down box


apart from Home

It's a wierd one, Roy!! I am familiar with things.

The usual 'hand' appears but it's not opening / forwarding to the appropriate drop down because it's not showing a dropdown!

I've switched p/c off completely by very intermittent occurrences!

I think I'll try p/c off and on again.

That just flashed the screen.
I know you've suggested this potential remedy to other folks recently.
This non select has just occurred for me......
.... that's why it's wierd.
Thanks for your suggestions.

The screen flash would just be the browser switching modes/refreshing

Yes, it would.

Just checked my Comodo virus scanner and it updated within the last hour.

I wonder if that might have been the possible cause / hiccup?

Running a scan now. Will advise.

Thanks.

Things seem to be A-OK on GR now! (I think; see below.)

I can only presume - which many of you know my Mum told me never to do! - that I must have tried to log in etc. while my anti-virus programme was refreshing / updating.
Perhaps this confused GR.

I have also switched my P/C OFF and ON a couple of times.

Curiously, however, I cannot change the title of this thread to say 'Completed'.

Anyone have thoughts on this hiccup?

Thanks.

Now I have managed to edit the title.

Why not so a few minutes ago?

Wierd indeed!

I was wondering why you wanted to select 'completed'. Now I understand.

Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do or pull their hair out in frustration.

... sadly, there's not so much for me to pull out these days, Huia.

That's our secret, however.

Ciao.
