Update: I suddenly began having problems getting Yahoo mail to work with my browser as well. Who the hell knows.

I switched to Firefox, which Yahoo mail is fine with, and the embedded Youtube videos on the Cellar are working this way as well. I honestly prefer IE to Firefox, but at this point, fuck 'em. I can't use something that no one else is compatible with.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I'm a wee bit confused (nothing new there!) ... registered, validated, took me to a page suggesting I update my profile (always a good idea when a new poster - first thing I do is check out the newb's ID ) but clicking on the link from various places tells me this is verbotten.

I mean I find it intriguing that I can't tell you who I am an am a mystery until such times as I've posted sufficiently for you all to figure that out.... but it does seem a tad inefficient.

Or have I broken something already and shall hence with be turfed out on my ear?

We had an unusually bad time with spammers and made things more restrictive to keep them out, but apparently made them a bit too restrictive. And there may still be a few kinks to work out.

All that is to say that I have no idea what the problem is, but it's almost certainly not you. It's probably some glitch.

Welcome to the Cellar!

ta' glad to be here..... been lurking around for a wee bit, seems like a nice place you've got here

Welcome to the cellar Ocean's Edge.

Please let the record show that I resisted the urge to make a joke using the word "beach".

you mean the one "Life's a beach and then you die!" ?

:D

Tha's one. :)

Nor did I describe you as the tufted monocotyledonous marsh plants belonging to one of the Shen family, Scottish branch.

you wouldn't have been the first

Welcome to the cellar OE!

Well, I imagine not. I'm known in some circles as Captain Obvious.

Welcome indeed, to be shore, to be shore.

Parts of it are.

Okay, am going mad. I need to move some messages from my Inbox to a folder I've made ("Contacts")
I have obviously done this before, as I have quite a few contacts in there.
But I am stumped as to how I did it.

Should be an easy question to answer for anyone with half a brain.
Probably doesn't help that I didbn't dleep last night and am watching Dr Who on BBC catch-up.
