Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I was a member of this forum back in 2007-08, before I moved and couldn’t afford the internet, due to higher rent and having to pay my own utilities, which had been included in the rent at my old place. I had the picture from my letterhead as my avatar and it had been easy to upload. I now have a new (used, a gift from a friend when the motherboard of my old one fried) laptop and it should be just as simple, except the “Browse” button will show nothing but the first entry in my “Documents (5 entries)” or “Desktop (11!)” file! I put a copy of my model railroad’s (Mineral Point & Northern) herald into both, but with only the first document showing, there seems to be no other way to upload my herald. I’m using Windows 7 Professional–the friend who gifted it to me used it in his business–and my defunct desktop PC had that WONDERFUL (I’m not allowed to swear, am I?) Windows Vista, for which I had to buy Office 2007 software, which this one also seems to have–or am I wrong and the Windows 7’s Word for Windows was better than that abomination they included with Windows (cough, spit) Vista?

Please help–PLEASE!

It might be a Browser problem. Several have had issues of different sorts posting stuff. I use FireFox and don’t have any problems.

Deano,

A suggestion: On the right side of Your screen in the green box where it says Welcome and Your name, will be Log out/Update Your account, click on Update Your account, when the screen comes up, on the right side You will see…Problem’s logging on? and next to that, Cookie’s enabled?..click on that and it will give You a Browser compatability test and let You know what may be wrong. You should have all green circle’s and make sure Your Java script is up to date, a must have.

Good Luck! [:D]
