| 642466 | 2008-02-24 20:12:00 | I just turned off adblock and it was slow but if you use firefox and the addon adblock plus it is all good and fast. I find this interesting - I don't use Firefox and really don't want to swop over. But the question I have now is :- "How do you get onto PCWorld?" I don't use IE when I want to get on - I go into Outlook Express and just click on the link from the last email PCWorld has sent me telling me about some more replies. This I find convenient and until things slowed up was also pretty fast. So I don't use IE and in fact would not use firefox, which seems to me a rather clumsy way of getting on. Am I missing something? Tom |

Am I missing something? Tom Yes I am missing something. I hadn't realised that OE needs IE or something similar to operate. I do now, and I have Firefox up as my default device. I have got rid of the adverts and regained control of PCWorld site, but found there are problems. Firefox took some time to get up and running. Now I find it definitely slower than IE in certain circumstances. It is not as stable (this is the second attempt to write this - I lost the first attempt) and I can find no way to spell check whereas in IE it was easy to use WORDWEB. As my spelling mistakes are being underlined I presume a spell checker is available somewhere. Perhaps somebody can help me find it. Tom |

| 642468 | 2008-02-26 03:33:00 | What version of Firefox are you using, Thomas01, your spell checker should just be working whenever you type in the later versions, after 2 I think, it underlines the wrongly spelled words when you type them in the text box for this site for instance. | zqwerty (97) | ||

The Latest version. It does underline the wrongly spelled words but so far I haven't been able to get it to show me a list of suggested replacements like IE does with WordWeb. Or like every other spell checker I have. Perhaps it doesn't have this function and I have to be able to spell the word myself. Gosh life gets difficult. Tom |
