Why can't I 'click' on links in an email?

Hi Sarah, welcome to a2k. I'm no expert (but we have some here).

Are you using Outlook for your email?

you ight have links and embedded imagines disabled in your email settings... if so just go to your mail preferences and give it a little change to enable the clicking of links and viewing of embedded imagines

Bloody Hell! Your in America!
Hello, people who replied! How Daft am I? I'm so new (and soooo late) to all this I didn't even know my quest for 'how to click on links from an email' would go anywhere outside my little world here in Manchester (U.K.) I feel silly now, not having a intruiging sobriqet or a witty line at the end....and I really must start looking at the bigger picture.

fret not Sarah... we here at A2K will try and make the adjustment to the cyber world as easy as possible... hope we helped you figured out how to click on the link..

Wow, Mancunian. That's my new word for the day.

You can add a "signature" as well as an avatar, etc. by clicking on the word Profile near the top of any page. Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Small world, isn't it?

Welcome to A2K.

Hi mac11,
how are you today? You said feel free to ask questions, so here goes:
Can I give myself a new user name?
I still can't click on links, where do I find my email settings?
Do you like the green?

It's still raining!

Hi Sarah,

You can request a one-time-only user name change by clicking on the little word Help at the bottom right of the screen and then Submit a Ticket specifying what you want to do.

To solve your email link problem, I suggest starting a new thread in the Computer forum. One of those computer experts will be able to help you a lot more than I can.

What green are we referring to here? (As to whether or not I like it?)

It's raining here too and about 72F (22C).

I also can't go to links...mail or not. I've gone to the Outlook Express toolbar but to no avail.

Sara, I like you already. Wanna make out?

mac11
Sorry mac 11 I realised when I read it back that it sounded a bit dodgy (as we say) asking 'if you liked the green'!!!! No it wasn't a reference to marijuana, I thought I had changed the text to the colour green!

Now I'm even putting my cyber foot in it!

I'm such a Bridget (Jones) sometimes. Read your profile - Love theatre, go all the time, Best seen this year: Look back in Anger, Worst seen this year: Vagina Monologues (I'm in the minority). Do you still go?

Do rockets go off everyday where you live?

kickycan, Sarah with an H, if you don't mind. Your message made me laugh out loud on a dull, rainy Manchester evening. Is 'wanna make out' cyberspeak? Me cyber virgin, you veteran member, so don't be naughty! but okay then!

I still go to the theatre, but it's hard to be an audience member after being more involved. I think Look Back in Anger is a great play! Saw a really bad production of it years ago, though, so it takes more than a good script. I'm a fan of Vagina Monologues, but mostly because it makes people talk and think about issues they'd rather avoid.

You should play around more with the colors and such here - it's easy once you get the hang of it. (I didn't think for a minute that you were asking about marijuana! )

NASA is based here in Houston, but most of the launches are actually in Florida. I know several people who are current or former employees of NASA, but I've never seen a launch myself.

Oh, and Kicky is very naughty!

I wasn't serious about the rockets! I'm not THAT stupid. But it wasn't very witty. Perhaps I'm trying too hard. I feel daft all over again now (over sensitive). Are you male or female, I understand if you prefer to remain androdgynous. I suppose I didn't like Vagina Monologues `cos MelB (scary spice, remember them?) was in the cast - she was terrible! But I take your point about 'raising issues'. The night we went, the audience was full of lesbians, not that I have anything against lesbians (I love 'em) but they kept on cheering whenever the word c**t or vagina was uttered, so I couldn't hear what came next. I'm a lucky girl, I move in circles where the subject isn't taboo. How about you?

I'm of the female persuasion too.

I've spent most of my life in a very liberal atmosphere, where no subject was taboo. It's been tough to adapt to a more conservative workplace.

I can imagine that MelB would not have helped the artistic value of the evening much. The play has been done with all sorts of dodgy semi-celebrities here, too. (I have nieces who were nuts about the Spice Girls, or I'd have missed them all together.)

Oh, and I'm sorry if I implied that you were stupid. That was definitely not my intent. Perhaps we have a little language barrier here? As in "two nations divided by a common language."

mac11
Just language mac11, same hopes and fears, depressed about the news from Iraq, wondering why the worlds in a mess, worrying about work, thinking about going on a diet, the usual preoccupations. I want my daughter to know peace, is that too 'hippyish'?

Give to these children, new from the world,
Silence and love;
And the long dew-dripping hours of the night,
And the stars above.

2nd stanza
A Faery Song
W. B. Yeats

For you mac11, and a big hug for being the first person to ever chat to me 'on the web'.

S

Lovely Yeats.

Thanks for the hug - I can use all I can get!

Welcome Sarah..you'll fit in quite nicely I think.

panzade
Thanks panzade, we will chat again! Right now I'm going for a bath. Both sets of cheeks are aching, from sitting in this chair for so long and from smiling too much!
