Unfortunately, I don’t use IE, so I can’t give you guidance on
your posted vanity (that wasn’t marked vanity, btw).
You asked, “What did I do wrong, and how can I fix it Please?”
I can however give provide some psychoanalysis for you at no
charge.
“I was playing with the settings of my new IE.”
... Your first statement indicates you are impatient,
compulsive and not easily satisfied. In other words,
you have commonality with all FReepers.
... Secondly, you are using IE. I can only hope this
is because you are a Windows user and are unfamiliar
with Linux.
“I was tired of seeing my search subjects on ads
wherever I browsed.”
... You are easily bored and are repulsed by crass
commercialism. One might ask why you are here, if
you are opposed to capitalism?
“Somehow I cannot click some links. Like all the
threads of FR.”
... This may be because you are using IE. It also may
be a new feature of Free Republic.
“What did I do wrong, and how can I fix it Please?”
... You used IE. You used Windows. You rejected capitalism.
You touched the red button accidently.
You must solve this problem like all Windows problems:
[better print this out]
1. Uninstall IE.
2. Reinstall IE.
3. Have same problem.
4. Google solutions on forums.
5. Try all solutions.
6. When they do not work, call Microsoft tech support.
7. Listen carefully and try to discern if the language being spoken to you is really English.
8. They will advise you to reformat your hard drive and reinstall windows.
9. This will take a number of hours.
10. Reinstall all system updates, programs and new versions
11. Reinstall your bookmarks.
12. Log back on here and see if you can click the links.
13. Look in the mirror and say, “I’m a PC!”
That is funny!
Insulting on some levels, but funny!
I only got half way thru your post before I shot myself in the head.
