Thunderbird is great. I will be using that from now on. Loved the way it automatically used the correct settings for my provider. Looking into Start8 now.

Thanks Neilo. I have no idea what you are talking about. [e digicons]:|[/e] I will look at Thunderbird as an email client.

Thanks for the encouragement Neilo. I bought a magazine called "Tricks. Fixes. and Apps for Windows 8. It tells you, amongst other things how to bring back the start menu and screen. I haven't got the computer back yet. Hopefully tomorrow. I will still have the email problem. It wants me to set up a Hotmail account for email.

Thank you Kryo. Especially for the link. I haven't tried the process yet, but it looks hopeful. My computer is in, being set up as a dual boot system for win7 and win 8. Microsoft offers no help for anything. They just refer you to other people who have the same problem. Users have to rely on kind souls like yourself to provide solutions to problems. I did a search for the email problem but I did not find the site you referred me to. Thanks Kryo.</p

Galacticruler5000 . Already bought the Toshiba all in one. But thanks for the offer. Unfortunate it has WIn8. I should ask this on the technical thread, but is there anyway to use your existing email and Skype, or do you have to go to a Hotmail email ? Changing our email address is not an option. If not then we will be getting

Hi Neilo. Might have known you would be around. We are not connected to the NBN as yet, but it is tantalizingly close. It would be a disaster if Abbot got in and said we had to use our existing copper connection. I can't be bothered searching the site.....is there any sign of Gal Cicv3 ? I am playing around with Civilization 5 at the moment. We are thinking of buying one of those All In one computers. I like the look of the Ts

I have no idea what you are all talking about. I think it was a mistake me coming here. Bye.

G'day guys. I have not been around for a few years. Thought I would drop by to see if anyone is still alive. [e digicons]|-)[/e] My husband has been trying to track down some of his Air Force buddies and It has been depressing. So far he has found one suffering dementia and two widows. Thought escaping into the internet would cheer us up. The stimulus has been the fact that optic fibre cable is being laid down our street, so we should get a

Hello. Just dropped by to see if this forum still existed. Have not been here for several years.

I have been away for a long time. What is DA ?

I submitted a game a few weeks ago [e digicons]:karma:[/e] [e digicons]O:)[/e]

Red Dwarf Followed by the current Dr Who.

It has taken many months, but I have just completed a game! [e digicons]:omg:[/e]

I tried to submit a game. It says I do not have an internet connection. I must be doing this by ESP.

Goodbye CL[e digicons]

It's nice to meet you too. You are not one of our founding members. What made you take pity on us and help boost our rankings ? Are you looking for another challenge? Your prescence may stirr up some other members into activity.

clanlindsey. Congratulations.[e digicons]:karma:[/e] I posted a 66k game on the 24th March...I think. It takes me about a month to complete a game, but I still play.

Well done GWS. It's good to see there is life in the Empire. I have a game in progress, but it will be a while before I finish it. BTW. For those who don't know, my empire character is Makara.

I agree with SS. Auto colony would be inefficient. I like to colonise towards other civs, to prevent them expanding. I also like to leave a few small planets uncolonised, so than another race with zoom in and take them, only to flip to me a few turns later, saving me a colony ship and some infrastructure.

Welcome aboard to all the reinforcements. It is good to see the Empire stirring it's arthritic bones.[e digicons]:)[/e]

Horton. It means Grey settlement.

Just completed my first Masochistic game.[e digicons]B)[/e] Think I will try another, just to see if that was a fluke.

Adnurm. I don't know if you already do this, but I find it useful to rename them with a name which tells you where they are or what they do, instead of those meaningless numbers. Also delete one when it is no longer necessary.
