I'm probably in the wrong place but this is the only group I've joined outside MSN. It will take me a long while to find my way around but it is too late to do so now and I still have to figure out pohotobucket. I will never have time to transfer all my albums to photobucket, going to have to leave lots behind. The font is much too small here is there any way to make it larger?

Hi Valerie,
You are in the right place ;D
To transfer your pictures....
On your PC, click Start, My Network Places and choose the group you want to get the pictures from, save to your desktop in a folder, you can then upload to Photobucket at your leisure
That is for XP, but I am on my Vista laptop so I don't know where it is on here
t

In Vista you do it from My Computer.

In that folder simply right click and select "Add network location". Follow the instructions and then put groups.msn.com for the address.

Back to take anuvver lesson..how did somone work out what marquee meant ? I thought it was a big tent..

[peppercat]

Good here innit ?

[Lynnrose]

You're so funny Pepper

[lazysod]

Oh Pepper I love the big tent remark LOL
Hi CIT sorry back at work now and just do not have as much time to pop in here still I I even find a few minutes a day its good to come here it always makes me relax.

Hey Lynnrose, thanks, I have XP but don't see Network places. If I can find it eventually, and save to my desktop, will they still be animated? Don't I have to clicl them open to save to desktop? Would I "save as" one pic at a time? As for the font, n msn when posting was able to choose font size, bt not here, just gotta get closer to monitor, more pressing then font. Will vcheck back in to see if you hve more info to find network places.... Valerie in eastern canada.

Hi Valerie,
Click on an empty space on your task bar, choose properties
Put a tick at Start menu if it isn't there already
Click the Customize button, then Advanced tab
Scroll to My Network Places and put a tick there
Click OK/APPLY/OK

Yes, your pictures will still be animated

Click on Start, My Network Places, then double-click My Websites on MSN

Log in when the box pops up
Double click the folder of the group you want to get the photos from
Double click Documents
Double click the photo album you want
You can then drag each phot to your desktop or drag straight into the folder on your desktop, or if you have loads, click Edit tab, Select All
Right-click one of them, choose Copy and then Paste into your folder
My computer struggled a bit with that because I had so many, so I copied and pasted a few at a time.

hello all : )

Bit quiet in here at the moment, I'll come back when it gets busier. ;D

Havent 'ad a minute to mesen today--just time to slosh around in the (melting) snow--gawd'elpus if it freezes tonight..
Went to see my neighbour who had ordered a juicer from QVC--it came yesterday and it is big enough for commercial use !! She phoned and told them it was far too heavy and she was unable to carry it to PO..so they said they would courier it..she couldnt repack it and I went to assist--just got it in the box-cept for a piece of foam and the courier came...he's a nice man and helped us tape it and made sure the returns form was correct..
I came back home--meeting with another friend on the way..Lynda t'other friend brought me her--cant say old--but next to last mobile phone as mine is getting cantankerous (probably cos I rarely use it--mobile technology is not my scene )
I picked the post up as I came in and there was a letter from a Specialist--an appt for a medical--to do with my comp claim.
Appt March 9 at 10.25 in MANCHESTER !!
When my brother came to take me on my fortnightly shopping trip--I showed him the letter and he said " You had better get a taxi to take you there--better yet go the night before and put up in a hotel ."
And how do I pay for that ?
Well you will get it back..
Thats okay if you have got the money in the first place...
Anyways--after shopping and everyone had gone I phoned the mans sec and explained it was near impossible for me to get to Manchester..especially for 10.25--so I now have an app for the 24th February at Wrightington..which is near Wigan.
I am looking forward to seeing the old place as I spent about 2 of my teenage years in that hospital and I had told my solicitor I would like my appt there rather than Manchester..
An earlier appt and a later time-11.10--to a more accessible
place..
And after that I have just been messing about--as you do..
So ends me saga for now--think I'll go put the marquee up in the yard.!!

[Lynnrose]

I thought it was quiet in here, so you must have been busy Pepper. I hope you have a more laid back day tomorrow x[/size][/font]

Hello to everyone,
Do hope you all like this place, it is certainly much quicker to get posting done. No freeze ups like on MSN. By the way, it's been too cold today, waiting for the spring.

Good morning all... sorry it has taken me so long to post, I have had flu this is my first time back at the keepboard.. I still feel like C**p but at least I'm up and around.
O and Happy New Year
Spinney. (I was from the old site as Spindrift but couldn't use it on here)!

[Lynnrose]

Hello everyone,
Good to see you're feeling better Spinney..hey, you are already a member here under Spindrift, do you want me to delete you so you can apply again as Spindrift?[/size][/font]

[jalaha]

Hallo Everyone ! Just popping in to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Spent the last 3 months travelling around Australia and New zealand . My daughter Hannah got married in October , it was a really beautiful and tear-jerking occasion ( Also met up with Judith (who wasn't too chipper because of her back ) but it was lovely to see her and she and Pat made us feel so welcome !!!)
Jalaha

[Fozzie]

Hey Jalaha! Welcome back! I've missed sparring with you on the Word Association. What's happened to that now? I spose it's been thrown out with the other junk from MSN. How about starting it again? Was that Hannah's first marriage? I thought she tied the knot with a Kiwi Rugby player a couple of years back? All sounds good for you now! I supposed Gran Judith was plying you with Baileys. She drinks it by the pint, you know. She always moans about her back, but it's all an act. She can soon chase round that garden when the rabbits try to eat her carrots.

[peppercat]

Well it isnt as cold as it has been here and the snow has all gorn !!
Hooray cos I managed to get out and visit our super dooper shopping centre !!
Heavily ironic that last statement !!

[Lynnrose]

Cool graphic Fozzie.....and if you put your glasses on, you would see our very own Word Association game right here.[/size][/color]

[nocky2]

Great to see the Word Game back, it;s starting to feel more like home in here. ;D

[Lynnrose]

Awwww Nocky, that is just what I am aiming for, thanks, I just hope everyone feels that way soon x[/size][/font]

[nocky2]

I'm sure they will LR.

[peppercat]

I think a lot of us feel it is just like a home away from home..
Keep up the good work Lynnrose..
