Malachy Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Dammit, I'm not quite technologically minded enough for this. I was on Shetlopedia earlier, looking at JAS's politics pages, but now when I try to go back to Shetlopedia, Spyware Doctor says that a file on my computer is trying to communicate with the page and it's blocking it. The risk is low - Adware - but I don't like it, and I'm not keen to disable the block if there's something going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddrun Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Change to Flock, Da Auld Een says it's much safer than Firefox.....and I have heard a lot funny about Firefox lately too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fthompson Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 working fine here too, using firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 As Oddrun says, Flock is the answer. I changed from Firefox about 2 years ago because Firefox was a pain in the rear on a lot of sites. Flock is basically a copy of Firefox, but without the bugs.Interestingly Flock have said that they won't be upgrading to any of the things in the newest version of Firefox because it's got more problems.

2lb_saucermeat Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I just use awld trusted Internet Explorer, never done any fault! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 No problem with Firefox here either. Have you tried deleting all cookies and history for Shetlopedia from Firefox in case something got corrupted and is generating a bogus error message, then seeing if it loads okay?

Ghostrider Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I just use awld trusted Internet Explorer, never done any fault! Waiting 3 minutes for most ebay pages to load, and locking up solid if you back up more than a few times in a row on ebay aren't "faults"?? Hmmm....You may be right, they're probably ebay faults, if anything is worse at writing programs than Bill Gates, its ebay. Get both together though, and you have hell on earth.

2lb_saucermeat Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Maybe thats why I don't have faults though, I don't use Ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddrun Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I use IE normally, and it works good enough for me, but I also have installed Flock to compare how Shetlopedia pages looks on both browsers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi Malachy, Thanks for letting us know about the problem. Sorry for the delay in replying, but I only saw the message today. I'm not seeing the same issue, but I'm looking into it. I'm not sure why you'd get an adware warning, there is definately no adware on the website. Could you please email me (admin at shetlopedia.com) with the exact error message so I can look into it for you? It's worth trying Ghostrider's suggestion of deleting the cookies in your browser in case one of them has become corrupted. Please let me know if this works. I've tried going through Firefox and it works fine for me. I also have Spyware Doctor installed as well. I'll look into it though and I'll try to replicate the problem; but so far I've had no luck. Let me know how you get on with deleting the cookies. Also, could you try going directly to http://shetlopedia.com/Main_Page and see if that works. Thanks,Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzel Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 does anybody know whether one can download a photo from Shetlopedia? For the purpose of showing the council (has to do with planning permission etc.) how I would want to renovate the Haa of Funzie we downloaded two pics of the Haa from Shetlopedia for creating a before and after image. My own photos were not suitable. I was going to ask first whether it is allowed but could not find any contact email. Any ideas?

JustMe Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 If they are the pictures I looked at the site it claims they are probably by this person http://www.shetlink.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=155 so send a polite PM and ask if you can use them. Alternatively have a look at the chat links which mention a JAStewart which is almost certainly the same one as on Shetlink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 JustMe is right about the two colour pics on the Shetlopedia Haa of Funzie page, they're Heimdal's. A quick PM via the Shetlink profile link, or via his details on Shetlopedia, asking to use them is the best way to go. The two b&w pics are the property of the Shetland Museum and Archives, and watermarked as such. Shetlopedia has conditional use of them, which doesn't include the right to grant permission to anyone else to use them. If you wanted any of those, you'd need to contact the Museum & Archives themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
