What's the New "Pager" Icon About? (Vanity Request for Help)
Free Republic
Posted on 12/07/2003 4:31:44 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest
I noticed this morning that a little speaker icon had popped up next to my screen name, and when I let the browser settle on it, the word "pager" appears. When I click on it, it just takes me to my comments, same as clicking on "New Messages."
Could someone please explain this innovation? Thanks.

Classic phone tools? I don't know; the coffee isn't ready yet and my eyes aren't reading fine print yet this morning. What are
you doing up already anyway? ;-)
It didn't chime when it lit up for your post; it just clicked.

Now hear this ...GENERAL QUARTERS ... GENERAL QUARTERS ... THIS IS NOT A DRILL !
To: Amelia
Look under Control Panel, Sounds, and look for Classic Phone Tools; it should be the first one under that category.
And I am up because there are people here who don't have thumbs that wanted a door opened.

It's because it's so dang cold -- and they like to torment us.

Thanks for your directions. It's not working for me, but I'll keep searching for a way to make it work.

The coffee is made. I've had a few sips. I still don't see any "Classic Phone Tools". So how come you have it and I don't? No fair!
I haven't thrown any sounds away....

Do you get the little java box that tells you you have a message, just not the sound, or do you just not get the little box at all?
If you don't get the box, check for popup stoppers; they will smack it down.

I think a lot of people are not actually opening the pager at all from that link because they have something blocking popups.... I use the pager all the time, and I couldn't get it to open from that link because my IE stopped the popup. So it blocked the pager from opening, and reverted to My Comments.
Those of you having trouble..... click this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/notify?spoken=no and leave that window open... I make it very small in the corner.. when a new post or mail comes in, it should turn blue and make a chiming noise....
The feature is that it automatically refreshes a couple times a minute.... notifying of new replies or mail even if you are up walking around or attempting to get a life....

I should have more coffee before I try to explain things.

Hmmmmm........it must be a Dell thang.

Thanks. I did find a phone alarm that wasn't on, so hopefully it will work now. Eagerly awaiting next ping!

I have Dell so perhaps that's why it's not working for me.

Thanks for the info re pop-ups. I do get pop-ups (ugh) so I feel that's probably not the reason for me. Perhaps it's having a Dell.

Yes, but. I followed Hair of the Dog's advice and opened the link, which immediately resulted in a sound. Not sure if I would need to do that to continue to get alerts. Ain't this all confusing?
