  1. Hello all- I finally noticed that Firefox can't mark links as visited if the site's cookies are blocked. Somehow I had the impression all cookies are the work of the devil and must be blocked at all costs but obviously they aren't... Why wouldn't the maid* clean or use the Microsoft computer? She doesn't do Windows *not sure if maid is an acceptable term these days, perhaps domicile engineer or domestic facilitator would be more PC PC! get it? Sorry, I'll skulk away now. Thanks for CCleaner and this forum!
  2. Hello- The problem is that no links are marked as visited. I did a Google search and this seems to be a problem that is afflicting a small number of users. Theories range from "hitting the back key undoes the visited link color change by design" (wrong, doesn't matter how I return to the previous page) to "the Remember visited links option in tools, options, privacy is set to "0 Days" (not in my case) to another program erasing color changes for privacy reasons, and so forth. Some people think it's a bug related to CSS, Java, or a firefox configuration issue, etc. Some think we mamby pamby complainers should just get over it since there are so few of us that this is happening to and all the other great firefox features make up for it (This is True!) Anyway, going to Tools, Options, General, Fonts & Colors, and choosing Link Colors you want firefox to use and then check Always use my: Colors is the easiest fix. There is an extension on Mozilla's site called LinkVisitor that allows you to manually mark links as visited or not but that seems rather tedious although it's useful in other ways as well. Hope this helps... NEW INFO! A solution that seems to work very well can be found here: New Post
  3. Hello- Since I've been a member for at least a couple hours now I'm sure everyone is patiently waiting for my opinion (OK maybe not...) so here it is: I was looking for a registry cleaner on download.com and while reading user reviews of CCleaner found this posted by ryan223: "Also check out the forum for this product which I am a regular member of. This is a great place to get help with CCleaner and just computers in general. The people are polite and always willing to help" I have never participated in a forum before but after reading most (if not all) of the postings on this one I was amazed at how so many people are willing to take the time to try to help others who are having problems even when they are having trouble articulating what their problem is or have little computer exerience. Although there is obviously a small group of posters who are very knowledgable and computer literate, everyone seems to be trying to be helpful, even though most questions have nothing to do with CCleaner. I hope the "childish" issues are settled because you have a GREAT product and forum. It seems a shame that some people may feel compelled to leave who obviously have been a great help to so many people and have much to offer with their knowledge, experience, time, and patience. If it were not for people like you, I think we'd have more incedents like this: freerepublic.com post Sorry this is so long...
  4. Hello- I have the same question. I can get around it by going to Tools, Options, General, Fonts & Colors, and ticking "Always use my: Colors" but this also changes the appearance of many of the Web pages I visit by removing shading, changing background colors, etc. I've tried enabling cookies for the sites on which I want to keep a record of links visited but it doesn't to help. Also, If anyone out there is having a bad computer day, this link may be helpful: Posting from Freerepublic.com Thanks for a great product and taking the time to maintain such a helpful forum!
