For some reason when I click on a claim from the BVA site the text isn't shrunk to fit page. No problem with other sites. I have to slide the bar back and forth to read entire page. I've tried the menu bar but can't find what works.

I have been logging out when I leave the site and may not check back in that day and sometimes more days pass, yet when I check the site it still has me logged in? What is up with that? It does not really disconnect me. How or what can I do to sign out and stay signed out till I want to sign back in?? It is frustrating as it looks like I am signed in 24/7.

The other day I was trying to upload 5 pages from my files to post here and 4 of them worked, but the fifth page would not work.....an error came up and said something like "can not upload due to excess info", I think. I erased a paragraph off the page and it worked. My question is, how can I change the setting to upload a full page. The first 4 pages were about 3/4 of a page, and the fifth one filled the whole page.

Geeks-I'm befuddled(unfortunately not always an unnatural state for me these days!) I recall some posts where Carlie chimed in about "triggers" for folks on the site -especialy for the folks with PTSD because of issues of MST, other violence, etc. and am wondering how discussions on social chat, etc. should be handled in regards to possible triggers. Am thinking of the current lawsuit in the news about MST - kind of wanted to know thoughts of others on DOD being sued, but not wanting to cause harm to anyone by bringing up a trigger. I haven't treaded into these waters, so need some boundaries on appropriateness of topics. Suggestions? Lorraine

I have my computer on most of the day, checking for any message popups replying to me and was wondering with all the new technology in computers these days, can you do something to your computer to get it setup to get a audio alert when you get a message?
Last reply by Stretch, -
All of a sudden I've been getting popups that members have posted on a few topics. Thier not replies that I posted. I tried checking my notification options but don't see anything unusual. There is alot of options so maybe I'm not seeing something that will change this. Any help would be nice cause its very annoying!

Man, i have found my calling COMPUTERS ,they amaze me ! I do not know diddly about them ,but am learning on my own and have been checking out a site called newegg ,so i may build a super computer in my home.
