Sharing a few pics of the eclipse I took this morning. I was ducking and diving through the clouds but got there in the end. You'll have to scroll bar at the bottom to see all the top picture

I nip down to my local Lidl in Stowmarket and pick up bottles of Hobgoblin for £1.20... Sometimes they are reduced to £1.17. I usually fill the trolly up with four or five boxes (12 bottles a box).

As mentioned above. Check for breaks in the cable, usualy up by the gromit. Check carbon brushes aren't worn and are clean. Run it on a flat area before trying it on the grass. Sharpen or replace the blade if it's turned itself into a flail that will put a strain on the motor... Also could be that the grass is just too long to start with and the motor can't physicaly turn the blunt blade through the grass.

Flymos, if it's a hover, are designed to hover and and cut the top inch from the blade of grass they are not designed to cut the bottom thicker part of the grass blade and will struggle. You will need to use a shrub cutter or strimmer with thick line before to get the hieght down.

If you have any of the above problems plus the motor fan is clogged this could also be tripping the thermal cut out very rapidly.

Out of interest how long is the grass?

OK Update.

It was the antivirus and when it updated it reset something in the safe browsing part that should not have been sent out with the update. One little check box has been changed and all is hunky dory. So now I'm back to rebuilding my website with drop down menus, thumbnails that open, even BIGGER and even better.

It's been said before and I'll say it again.

No matter if you have probs with computers, engines, fridges, a wife that is malfunctioning, a screwdriver that you don't understand or discharge from your wee hole - There is always someone to help out... Well maybe not the latter.

Cheers Guys and Gals.

FOC-U YOU ARE AWESOME.

Cheers Val

Anti virus software came installed on my PC by my local computer shop.

I needed a MC that afternoon to finish a BIG job ASAP

I bought it to replace my Mac G5 that had a several major crashes and became unrecoverable - Hard drive and several boards fryed. Constant power cuts to the national grid didn't help either, even with ant surge plugs and sockets installed in my studio. I asked for a custom built M/C that would do everything my Mac would for half the price. So far it's delivered.

I'm on to BullGuard Live Chat as soon as I finish my Mmmmmmmmmm Bacon sandwich.

I'll PM you with a reminder re the Promo Code when I finally get this website sorted.

At least I can see light at the end of the tunnel now.

Thanks again everyone who's helped.

Thumbnail images have started to open again.

 :wall :wall :wall

Would you tell us what is the anti-virus software and/or antimalware installed on the PCs that error happens and on any PC that never happens?


OH YOU FUCKING GENIUS  :lol


Tuned of everything in the Bullguard Anti virus and everything is working on every fucking browser... Even the drop down on other weebly websites except I deleted all mine  :rollin

Thumb nails are opening and loading without errors.

So to my next question... What In BullGuard could be causing it?

Best make your first question and answer the right instead of the last.  :lol

OH I LOVE YOU ALL

On the PC and the laptop I'm having problems with they are running BullGuard and on the laptop that's working this is running AVG 2015.

As a foot note a few days ago I added some more images and published the site. I opened up the website in a tab and the thumbnails enlarged - Whooop I thought. While this working tab was open I then opened up another tab and went to my website Arghhhh! thumbnails in this newly opened tab didn't work. Switch between the tabs one was working and the other not.

I've left my computer on over the last few days with these tabs open. This morning one was still working and the other not. As soon as I refreshed the working tab the thumbnail stopped opening.

Since pressing the F12 button, on a few occasions I've had a dialog box open when the site is loading. Saying there are errors on the site which may cause it not to display correctly and do I want to debug and fix problems... continue or cancel.

Every time I press cancel I get another message with an error message this happens until I've cancelled all the error messages then the site opens.

Line 65 '_w' is undefined
Line 424 Object does not support property or method up
Line 84 'Prototype' is undefined
Line 1 '_wAMD' is undefined
Line 617 Object unexpected
Line 2       "            "
Line 172   "            "
Line 63 '_w' is undefined
Line 82 'Prototype' is undefined
Line 424 Object does not support property or method up
Line 73 '_w' is undefined
Line 92 'Prototype' is undefined

Clicking on the "About" page on the site.
Line 63 '_w' is undefined
Line 82 'Prototype' is undefined
Line 1 '_wAMD' is undefined
Line 424 Object does not support property or method up

There are error boxes that appear on other pages but all the above boxes do not appear everytime the website in launched.

The online site editor has no problems running.

I'll see what happens when I disable the Antivirus but I'm sure I've tried that when I first hit problems with this.

I'll let you know.

Try deleting the cache or using another browser...

At least that's what weebly keep telling me.

Don't forget it's Javascript you need to look for, not Java. Two entirely different technologies.


Anywhere else I should be checking this apart from here?

http://enable-javascript.com

General / Re: Computer related

Well that depends on the browser.

http://enable-javascript.com


Cheers Mick. I tried this reading up on Java last week and came across that site earlier this week. Checked and it was enabled. Had another look this morning as well.

However... Remember the Javascript test code I tried last week. Well I opened it up in a new browser tab IE11 just now and... It said sorry mate java is off. So I looked at the internet options again and says still enabled. With Firefox it opens as already on.



So I click allow on the box at the bottom and...



???

Also read something about Active X but didn't quite understand. Could that be the problem.

Also hit F12 instead of backspace and this window popped up asking if I wanted to de-bug the site because of errors... This might mean something to you. Think it's Klingon.




Is there anything that I can check or change to make blanket setting that would work with all browsers - Firefox, Chrome and IE11 ?

Cheers mtread.

I've been revamping the site today to eliminate drop down menus because I didn't know what else to do. Just done one section to find that the thumbnails don't open on this PC now but they did an hour ago because I tested what would work and what wouldn't.

Dynamic html, CSS, parse, java

PLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE    HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP

What can I check or do to my settings?

OK I sort of get the drift that it's computer related.

The online website builder was being run on my main PC through a browser window and not stand alone app. I was working on this, publishing after the changes and additions then checking the changes in another tab, refreshing the page to see the changes. All was working fine until 28th July when I refreshed the published site and found the drop downs had stopped working.

I then checked my laptop 1 running Vista and that was still working. I went downstairs and checked on my other laptop 2 (windows 8.1) and that was still working.

Now back in my studio I restart my PC and check again... No joy. Go back downstairs check the website again and the drop downs have now stopped working on that. Previous to that the Weebly site builder had not been opened or run on this laptop.

That's what I can't get my head around.

Also, last night before I went out they had stopped working. I left the computer on exactly where it was on my website. Come back home 5 hours later and they are working again? Then this morning they're not?

Checked in safe browsing and they don't drop down in that either.

If it's computer related how does it turn itself on and off ie works sometimes and not others, last night being a good example, and why is it suddenly effecting two PC's one of which had never run the weebly website builder until Friday last week when I was away and took the laptop to try and resolve it?

Following on from that other weebly website I mentioned above. I've come across lots of other websites with dropdown menus that work BUT the only sites that don't work on this PC are the weebly based sites... Go figure.

WTF have they done to my putters?

https://spoon.net/browsers/

Try this. This is online browser simulator. Instead running the browser application that is installed on your PC it runs the browser at some server........


I'm still having problems with this.

I've created free user account and tried checking the published site on Spoon.

Logging on to the spoon.net using Firefox I get in to a cycle of downloading plugins and get no further. The option for the plugin is to save or cancel. I launch the plugin from my Downloads and as soon as I click the browser to test up pops another download plugin dialog box.

Logging on to the spoon.net using IE or Chrome I get plugins running, select the browser I want to check then a pop up window appears (see below) and I get no further.



I press any key to continue, the error message disappears, I select the browser and the error message pops back up.


Of the three machines I have running here...

Main PC: Windows 8.1, IE11, Firefox 39.0.3, Chrome Version 44.0.2403.130 m, Opera V27. The site editor works in all browser but the published site doesn't. Re: Spoon see above.

Laptop 1: Windows Vista, IE9 and Firefox 39.0.3 The site editor and published website still working. But Spoon has same probs as listed above when trying through Firefox and has no option for IE9 without upgrading.

Laptop 2: Windows 8.1, IE11, Firefox 39.0.3, Chrome Version 44.0.2403.130 m. The site editor works in all browser but the published site doesn't. Though the site worked a day longer than main PC.
My wife is away with this lap top at the mo but I've talked her through deleting Cache, cookies and history on all browsers. She's logged on to the site editor dropdowns are working but published site isn't.

Mac G4: Running OSX 10, Firefox 38.0.1, Machine is past it's sell by date but sometimes displays published site OK but is a bit glitchy ie it'll show just blue text and menus down the left hand side before bursting into action and displaying... when it wants to. Doesn't do a lot else apart from Photoshop and iPhone work and has been bought out of semi retirement to test this site Can't even remember the last time this Mac was on the net but I've had to root through the loft to get an old dial up modem to connect to the web. Due to other publishing software installed the OS cannot be upgraded so we'll take this computer out of the equation.

Microsoft Windows 8.1 phone: Displays with drop downs but item codes are missing from enlarged thumbnails.


Been sitting in front of these machines since 5am this morning. Getting everything up to date on Windows. Uninstalling Firefox, Chrome and Opera... reinstalling.

I don't where to go from here, but if you want to go elsewhere and talk about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll I can quite understand.

Edit----

I've just found another Weebly website with drop down menus!!! see http://shellyscreativeside.weebly.com/
The drop downs "What I do" work my laptop 1 but not on my Main PC. Does this mean this is computer related, browser related or something to do with operating system... Bearing in mind that all was hunky dory up till a few weeks ago?

Well blow me. Just come in from bowls and a beer and the drop downs are working again. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.  :lol  :'(

"Do you have cache times set in your .htaccess file? Maybe they are preventing the site from updating properly if you have JavaScript set for a longish cache. Just abother thought, but not sure if there is any weight in it or not."

Don't know what this means or how to check.

Quote
"I doubt they would be doing anything fancy in the .htaccess - that primarily deals with server side stuff. The browser tends to cache JS and CSS, but Weebly have a hash associated with these files so that fresh copies are downloaded when necessary (a sensible approach that I use myself)"

Don't know what this mean either.  :rolleyes

I wish I'd listened more at school instead of drawing motorbikes, naked women and forging five pound notes and selling them.

Just to update you foccers who have bee throwing me lines.

Over the last couple of days I've been downloading and trying different browsers. Chrome being one of them. Despite deleting caches and internet temp files the drop downs still did not work on the published sites on all but one of my computers running IE and Firefox. The drop downs worked on both these browsers. Apart from your postings reports to say they were working the drop downs weren't working on two of my PC's - The only other physical evidence I had that they were working was on my brother in laws running IE and another laptop I have running IE and Firefox.

Weebly, despite being sent Val's validation report still say they can't find anything wrong and that I should delete caches etc and try again, maybe in different browser... FFS that's what I've been doing for the last week +.

Anyway. This morning I boot puters up and try again and the drop downs are working again in all browsers except Firefox on one PC.

I've not been able to check my other laptop as my Mrs has it and she's away ATM.

So with that in mind I can live with this as it is.

Thanks again for your help, time and effort and support. You Foccers are brilliant.

Hi Val,

On the laptop I'm away with at the moment I've done a restore to default on Firefox and followed previous instructions and restored IE which was a bit more long winded. I've also restored IE on my PC at home with no changes.

Hope you don't mind but I've emailed them the link to your validator online tool report in a hope that someone their end will be able to understand it better than me.

I'm back at home tomorrow for a few days so I'll do a restore on Firefox on the PC and wait for their response.

Do think if delete all the pages and drop down menus from the site and then rebuild it that I'll still have the same problems or might it work? I know it's a lot of work to redo but it might be the simplest solution.

What I don't want to do is redo it and end up with the same problem later down the line.

One thing I can't get my head around is that the site works OK on other laptops running Vista, Windows 7 and verious other operating systems using IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.

Cheers and thanks for your input

Hi Val

On the laptop and the PC that the drop downs aren't working on the browser is Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 39.0

Think I know the answer to this already but would these settings or restoring IE effect Firefox? because the the drop downs don't work on either browser either.

Thanks for that Val and Dead Eye.

Saved adding the 'html' file extension. Opened it browser window and Whoop Whoop it says JavaScript is on. So I guess that part is working OK.

Still waiting to hear from Weebly. Don't know where to go from here. I'm away from home at the moment so can't check if it's working on other puters or flaptops.

OK Facebook works ok.

I've updated Java and verified it.

I've made a note pad document with the below text and saved it to ALL files.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <body onload="document.write('JavaScript is on');">
      <noscript>JavaScript is off sorry mate</noscript>
   </body>
</html>

There is also an option for encoding when I save the file. Options are.
ANSI
Unicode
Unicode big endian
UTF 8

It was set to ANSI

Anyhow I opened the notepad Doc in a new browser window and it just read as I had cut and pasted...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <body onload="document.write('JavaScript is on');">
      <noscript>JavaScript is off sorry mate</noscript>
   </body>
</html>

I assume it should have said On or Off?

Do need to change the Encoding when saving the file to get this to work?

I can confirm the the website works OK on my brother in laws laptop running Windows 7 using both IE and Firefox.

I've been out today and tested the drop downs again and they worked if I clicked on them but the thumbnails didn't open. Then the dropdowns stopped working again.

I've heard back from Weebly and say that's it working at there end. I've been asked to sent a screen video of what's not happening. Waiting to hear back now.

I will add that the drop downs still work ok on the editing site just not on the live published site.
