Title: Help?
Post by: periwinkle on October 18, 2009, 12:29:01 pm

 I'm sorry if this is an inane question; I'd appreciate help. How do I leave a comment at the bottom of this photo, to add to the other 3 there?

You need to be a friend of the person who's photo it is, or be tagged in the photo to comment on it I think.

 Oh, another thing. I'm in teh England atm, there's a video [of a tv program shown here recently] which is only able to be viewed here. How easy would it be/is it possible for me to copy it such that I could show it to someone in Australia?

You can quite easily use download helper on Firefox to do that, bubble.

Then it's a simple matter of either watching it with an FLV Player, or converting it to mp3 format.

I'm not sure if there's an IE equivalent...


Edit: There are plenty of youtube vids that tute you on how to install and use download helper.
This one seems ok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPdMAjvRheE&feature=related
Otherwise just search for another, if you don't find this one to your preference.

It comes in handy for other stuff too, trust me.

Wait, do you mean it's actually physically showing on TV in England, or is it online and has region locked access only to England?

 Ok, another possibly-of-facepalm-inducing-simplicity-but-would-nevertheless-make bubble-grateful-question: I've got several addresses in the address bar I don't want others to see, how do I remove them?

No, only kidding :)

You also have the option of using private browsing, available on IE, Chrome, and I think Firefox.

I use it to go on sites I don't want my parents to see (when I'm on the shared computer) - they're not porn sites though, porn isn't necessarily the only thing people want to keep private :P

Yeah I agree. Sometimes you look up Health topics, really silly questions of stuff you have always wondered but to embarrassed to let people know ask etc.
