Howdy everyone!!

We're getting there!!

We're now approximately EIGHTY percent of the way to our current quarter FReepathon goal!! A little more help from our dear friends and we're over the top!!

If you enjoy reading and participating on FR and if you think it's a worthwhile endeavor and would like to help us keep it going, please click the link above and donate via secure server. Make it a monthly if you can.

Or mail checks to Free Republic, LLC - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794.

Free Republic is funded solely by contributions made by liberty loving grassroots conservatives like you who enjoy and use it. We take no money from and are not beholden to outsiders or corporate or party string pullers.

New monthly donors:

We currently have some very generous FReeper sponsors who will kick in an additional $10.00 per new monthly donor, so this is a great way to get a little extra bang per your buck and to help future FReepathons run a little faster.

And FR delivers a BIG bang for your buck!! Each dollar donated delivers thousands of pages of corruption-exposing/liberty-advancing information to thousands of liberty-loving readers all across the fruited plains and around the globe. The sun never sets on Free Republic!!

FR costs: Approx $0.001 per page delivered (that's 1 tenth of a cent per page!).

FR benefit: Priceless!!

Thank you all very much!!

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

We are the resistance!!

Prayers up for our beloved Republic!!

And it is a Republic (if we can keep it)!!

God bless.

What is a “cache” and how to I clear it?

[JoeProBono]

Run your cleaner.

I get those Adobe Flash Player update notices all the time, and I always do the updates because a lot of sites keep up with the latest version and do not work properly if you’re using an older version.

Same with the Microsoft updates. They’re usually to fix some security breach or other, and I always allow them.

But Joe is right. Clear the cache and reboot. If you have a laptop, you might try a cold reboot by shutting down and removing the battery for two minutes or so. Then reboot. That used to solve a lot of pesky problems on my old laptop - the one that got fried last summer.

Best wishes getting this straightened out soon.

I’ve downloaded two types of flash players, one helped at one site, the other didn’t seem to do anything. I give up, on that, but it still doesn’t help the problems I’m having here with all boxes blacked out: tagline, search, and subject line. Maybe John will be able to help, except that he’s not going to know why I’m emailing him, because I can’t see or correct anything in the subject line of a private message.

I guess I’ll ping him to this post.

Aw, heck! I’ve never seen anything like that before. I wish I could help you somehow. What about Onyx’s son? Can you ask her if he can help?

[trisham]

BBL!

[onyx]

You’re all set now?

[trisham]

No.

[onyx]

I ignore adobe flash updates, on orders from my son. He said they cause a lot of trouble, (java script). I’ve got a problem from last week with IE due to a Windows update.

When I post, the “Tagline: (optional, printed after your name on post):” area is completely blacked out. When I am on the “Forum/Latest Posts” page, the “search” area is completely blacked out. When I am in the “mail/compose” page, the “Subject” area is completely blacked out. I can’t see anything that is there, or anything that I type there. This has never happened before.

[trisham]

I heard that there are some that are not from adobe, but have been made to look like they are so that people will click on them and get a virus. I hope my husband can figure out why the adobe flash I’ve downloaded isn’t working. I went to their site directly. I’m wondering if the two things are connected: not having adobe flash and the black boxes. It seems like a bit of a coincidence to me that they both are a problem at the same time.

[trisham]

I think John may be able to help, if he can tell me if it’s a problem related to adobe flash.
