  WannaBe: Just noticed this, on Windows IE, after I view a game using Java and Delux Viewer, the link doesn't change colour.

All other links, e.g. cafe, or player's profile page, turn colour after you visit'd that page. But not games.

Just tried Firefox, does not happen with FF, the link changed colour.

Jan-26-14  Thanh Phan: Found an article saying the Jade Rabbit encountered difficulties http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emil...

BEIJING, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's moon rover "Yutu" (Jade Rabbit) has had an abnormity, and scientists are organizing an overhaul, the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence said on Saturday.

Original articles I found that led me to a search was from Baidu

  WannaBe: <Thanh Phan> Thank you for the "Jade Rabbit" info, exploration(s) have never been smooth sailing, (for anyone!) difficulties and adversities are to be expected at every turn.

I think this 'Rabbit' may still yet do well. =)

  WannaBe: May somebody, who is a lawyer, can explain how reckless got dropped, but speeding ticket still stands...

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/...

Jan-29-14  Shams: <WannaBe> You can speed without driving recklessly; the prosecutors must have felt they had sufficient proof of the former but not the latter.

Prosecutors aren't really supposed to press charges unless they think they can win; they also tend to disfavor it on a personal level since career advancement depends on their "batting average". Almost certainly Puig retained his own defense attorney, and that makes a big difference too. Public defenders don't typically have the time or the resources to create the kind of resistance that gets prosecutors to drop charges.

Jan-29-14  Golden Executive: <WannaBe: <GE> If you click it once and wait, does it load? Sometimes the java code takes a while to load/kick in. (I don't know your compuetr's age or anything...)>

I did not see your post until today. First of all, thanks for trying to help me.

I am using Windows 8.0 64 bits with Internet Explorer 10. Lenovo Intel i3-3220 CPU at 3.3 GHz with 8.00 GB RAM.

I am aware about the java code thing you mentioned.

I adjusted the settings of the IE and seems everything is ok.

In other matter, I have been receiving messages from Microsoft in order to update for free to Windows 8.1, I am not sure about to do it. What do you recommend me to do?

Thanks, again

Jan-29-14  Golden Executive: Thank you very much <WannaBe> for the instructions and recommendations. Much appreciated.
