On several sites, including the BBC, copy appears with words highlighted. Passing the cursor over them reveals an advert connected to the word. This only seems to have started a couple of weeks ago

hello, maybe an addon or toolbar is inserting this code into websites - please try if sites load correctly in safemode & if so remove all extensions in firefox > addons > extensions, that you don't have installed intentionally or that might look suspicious (especially toolbars of all sorts). also have a look in the windows control panel / programs section and also uninstall toolbars etc. that are listed there...

Hi BC,
I have an issue with BC. When the shopping cart is used it takes stock out of inventory and holds it, regardless of whether or not a customer proceeds to purchase. OK.
To make matters worse, the stock is only cleared from the shopping cart when the customer closes the browser - not when they close the shopping window.
Now lets say a customer doesn't close their browser for a month - it happens! .. when their stock is finally returned it may throw out our stock levels that have in the meanwhile been adjusted. So their stock will be added on top of an accurate stock take, putting stock in that isnt really available.
This is causing us mayhem.
We have not yet seen if stock is actually returned at all. In the test we did today where we filled a shopping cart then closed the browser without making a purchase, the stock was not returned immediately. So we dont even know when it will be returned - thats IF a customer actually closes their browser. Any solutions out there?
Jo

Hi there,
The way stock is managed in this situation is desirable for many in that case otherwise shopping on a site and adding to cart would not be viable or use friendly.
What you mention about not closing a browser though is a case that is not true. IF you go into the shop settings in the admin you can see the cart restore timer which is by default 24 hours but you can change this to as low as 1 hour if you wish.

No, you do not. It simply is not possible to have a device that does not exist.
Most likely, you have an iPhone 4. There is no 4G iPhone.

Yes, it does work. It is carrier locked to AT&T, just like all GSM iPhones sold in the US since their introduction.
shohjahon wrote:

You can use the phone as it is, but it will be very expensive with AT&T international roaming plans.
There is no official way to unlock the phone for use with another carrier.
Your options:
Sell the device and purchase one intended for use in your country.
Find unofficial method to unlock
Use as an iPod Touch.
No one here can provide you with assistance on getting you AT&T locked iPhone to work on another carrier.

Recently I downloaded photos from an sd card. When the download was complete all photos were loaded in a random fashion completely out of order.This is the first time it has ever happened this way. downloaded same card to iPhoto and all photos were in order. Help needed. Am working on a job that needs immediate attention and HDR images out of order are impossible to deal with.

Thanks for your help. The out of numerical order comes before the actual import begins. It happens when first uploaded to Lightroom and prior selection of of photos to imported to the catalog.

I'd like to modify how recently visited site are shown: Listed like before rather than thumbnails, and sorted by most recent rather than most frequent. Thanks.

I did find one thread on creating a custom bookmarks folder that contains the recently visited sites sorted by recency, but I can't figure out how to create it. I'm pretty computer-savvy but the links provided don't go to a clear path on achieving what the topic is about.
And I found nothing on changing back to the former list view that existed before the recent update that went to thumbnails. Note this is not an issue new browser windows but it is when opening a New Tab -- the new version shows thumbnails, but I'd prefer the list.
Thanks!

Firefox (version 13 and higher) shows thumbnails when opening a new tab. If you saw a list view at some point, then that feature was provided by an extension you've installed. Check if the extension in question has been updated for Firefox 13. Setting the new tab page to open ''about:blank'' may also restore the extension's functionality. See the following article for details:

To create your own smart bookmark folders, you can use the following extension.

60 DAYS - Anyone have a suggestion - Words fade and or light out

Cannot "right" click on the typewriter!
When opening a pdf and opening the type writer it will not go to properties no matter what I do - either right click on the typewriter or highlighting the test. It will not let me check the opacity!
I am using version 10.1.4 of adobe Pro X
In Adobe Pro X - When typing text on a PDF with the typewriter the words are clear and dark but once I move away from the text it "fades" out and/or gets very light! No matter what I try to do it still gets very light.
How do I keep it from fading and/or getting very light when using a "rectangle box" i.e., I create the box then type in it and the words fade once leaving the box?
Also, the text fades whether using a "box" or not for example just typing text!
For some reason I can not change the properties of any TEXT from not being very light or faded once I move away from the text.
I use to be able to type the text and put a Rectangle box arrow the text and it was still dark and not fade
thanks in advance

Had to "uninstall" and "reinstall" Adobe - could not find or get an answer to the question

FF 25 has issues on OS-X 10.8.5. It hangs sites with heavy dom manipulation + web font faces The same page is fine on FF25/Win. Is this being looked at?

I've been having a lot of issues with Firefox 25 hard-hanging on OS-X 10.8.5. Firefox 24 worked perfectly with various sites I've had problems with recently. Firefox 25 on Windows works fine with the same sites, so does Google Chrome 30, IE9, IE10, and IE11. The hang is very specific to FF25/OSX. Is this being looked at or reported by anyone else? My co-workers are also hitting this. It seems like FF25/OSX has some sort of deadlock condition when there is heavy dom maniplation occurring via JavaScript along with the usage of Web Fonts (font-face/font family). I have to force-quit it and restart. Safe mode makes no difference. Nor does clearing site information.
If there is any debug I can capture (such as triggering a stack dump) I am more than willing to generate it.

Followup. Any further updates from Firefox support? This is a blocking issue at my company. We are strong Firefox advocates, but this is starting to damage Firefox's reputation here.

I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel. Any ideas for help?

When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

Hi ...
If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Try Safari.
