Links with blue background still on left side for me...
...
How I got my links back (in the left, blue area!)

I went to Tools, Internet Options and deleted Files and Cookies (although I don't know as though this had anything to do with it as I have done this MANY times in the past). I then experimented with my Norton Antivirus. You must do this at YOUR OWN RISK! Down in the right-hand corner of my screen, I chose "Disable Norton Internet Security" which when I reloaded the Main page here (after I had gone and done the above steps in Tools) it didn't make a difference. So, then I went back down to Norton Internet Security and chose "Disable Antivirus Auto-Protect" and reloaded the main page here and BINGO I had the links all back! I then Enabled all my NAV I had disabled, reloaded the page again and everything is still there! So, if this happens again, at least now I know how to get it back.


I thought I would share this info as I know there are others out there that has experienced this same problem and I have done everything the administration has suggested and it did not resolve the issue. So, apparently it has to do with Norton and I am not clear why Norton Antivirus (I would expect it more to be an Norton Internet Security issue) but in any event I am elated it worked! I hope it will work for someone else as well - again at your own risk. :)


I hope this might help administration/moderators to help others as well in the future. :)


This just made my day! :D

I see them all, too. Some people seem to be missing headings from the blue bar on the left. nm

Look over to the left side of your screen..
Good luck.
Is it just me, or have the links (on the left side) been eliminated?

I may have done something to cause how may page loads but I do not get the list of links, like the technical link, equipment, etc., showing up along the left side any longer. Is this a recent change or is is just happening to me because I did something??? If it is just me, how would I change it back. I can't get to any of the other forums unless I click on home and go from there. :(


TIA.


On the left hand side of screen, there is --sm
CONTACT info. They give their email addy's only, which is understandable. Contact the admin and ask for fax number to send info to. pretty simple, if you really want to do it.
Hit the start button and look on the left side of the menu. NM

how to move task bar from left side of screen to down below where it used to be??
thanks
Why do some posts have yellow icons by the left side?
 
All the stuff along the left hand side disappeared. How do I get that back.
:
I have never had links on the left side. I have always had to go back to the home page to get them.

L-shaped desk, bookcase under the left side for my medical references
(homemade by my DH, of course), file cabinet to the left. Phone on the left side of L, mouse on the right, easy reaches for my aching elbows if I keep them in front of me. My desk faces my door to the office (sliding glass doors to the house) so I can see anyone who decides to just come in the door without knocking. If they knock, it takes me a minute or so to get to the door, but that's okay too. Even with my big L-shaped desk, I still have lots of extra clutter that I need to put away, file, throw away taking up my space, but at least I can find everything I need when I need it. :-)

one side working
Probably true that it may be time for a new one, but I have a relatively new one and it does the same thing. I disconnect the ear piece completely and reattach it. Sometimes it just comes a little loose and needs to be shoved tighter into place. It just looses its connection.
The down side of working for a small
things stating "you get paid when we get paid by the client".  WRONG!!  Stay away from these types!!!  That is a wrong practice and should not be passed on to the subcontractors.  I hope you get your $$$!!!  Jerks like this give all small companies a bad name.  As if your bills aren't as important or the time you spent transcribing is not worth the effort to make a timely payment!!!!  
Only one side of head set working??
Why would this be???
Your best bet is your local Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield company, depending on where you live

Here in Idaho, we have both companies but a lot of other states have BC/BS combined. Our family has a policy through Regence Blue Shield that is $196 for my husband and three kids. It has a $25 office copay and it is a limited policy, which is 12 office visits a year and lab up to $300. It works great for us because we never got to the doctor, yet we have it if we need it.


I have an individual policy for major medical, $35 office copay, with our local Blue Cross and it is $59 a month for me and it has prescription coverage too. Not a bad deal. I think they are your best bet for decent coverage at a good price.


Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Mutual of Omaha - Which company pays off claims the best w/o hassle?

Working for MTSO--flip side. sm

I have advertised on this board looking for help and while I received a lot of responses and some good prospects, there were many more that were either: 1) Indian companies/individuals like CLK referred to above (deleted immediately); 2) newbies without any experience; or 3) several "experienced" MTs who overstated their experience/qualifications and when it came down to it, they didn't have the most basic of skills (computer, Internet, etc.) It is just as hard for an MTSO to find good help as it is for MTs to find a good company.


Mine says tools at top left - sm
Click on tools, user documents, then put date range. Click print preview button, not print button. It won't print on your printer.

If you need to have a print copy, here's what I do. I open a new document in Word. Then go back to your print preview screen with the totals, hold down ALT and click print screen, then go to Word and CTRL V.

hope this works
i left it on standby when not working until
i blew several sound cards -- techie-guy said the only thing he could figure was that the fan had to work round-the-clock to keep it cool, and it can throw sparks inside (that you won't see) that can be fatal to the sound card....so he said to shut it down every night. This is a job-provided machine and their tech help.
The fact is I am not working for them anymore and left them in

February so this was a surprise.  What I don't like is that they took out internet fees, insurance, etc. and I don't need that taken out, so mine would probably be somewhere near $100 or more had they not done that.  I am going to write them regarding this.  So taking out all of that, they had 2 cents left over for me and I have no idea how they got the figure anyhow because I was QA and the only transcribing I ever did on this stint with them was the initial reports that you had to do to work on DQS and whatever reports might have been blank when it came to QA.  So I do not understand and they need to 'splain this to me.  LOL


 


Yep, I have to have a sense of humor when you get a check for 2 cents!  They have already insulted me enough with their ways, which was why I quit, but this is a totally new "way." 


Strange company and when it is after the fact of being rather dishonest where they are trying to make an impression, you can imagine how the 2 cents really made a great one on me!!


Mine is working just fine.

I got mine from networking and working

themselves asked me if I'd be interested.  That was 10 years ago though and still going strong, but now I think the competition keeps one from landing their own accounts.  However, it can be done.  I've heard others say they've mailed flyers or gone cold-calling to offices with a business card.  I guess if you have local medical facilities, it's worth a try.  Even mailing a letter with a business card could land you an account.  You never know who is unhappy with their current transcription provider. 


One account I had (he's since retired) asked me because his Transcriptionist was retiring.  So quirky stuff can happen. 


I have mine working with my Ooma
& I can't WAIT to dump Verizon.
Actually, I leave mine plugged in while working

Most of the time my laptop is plugged in. Sometimes I unplug it to play games in bed or if we are having a storm.


I wondered about purchasing a battery back up in addition, even if you can do that with a laptop that already has a battery built in, which I don't know. :) This is my first laptop and I have only had it for about two months.


I got mine on Amazon.com and had it working in about 10 minutes. nm

Amanda, did my 2 comments help you? Mine is working,,,nm

Ask about working the holidays. Recruiter led me to believe it would be their choice and not mine,

Mine got worse after staying home and working...
I think having to get up and leave the house and face people daily actually helped me. It wasn't until I started staying home that my anxiety got worse and I went back to a psychiatrist and then got back on medication. I make a point to not get stuck in a rut and venture out very often. If it is severe though where someone could not work at all, then I think this would give them another opportunity to earn a living where they wouldn't have had one at all.
Mine is working fine and turning purple...

Mine isn't working either. Wonder if they've taken that ability away or archived stuff so we

I've worn mine working for a year and haven't had a problem. .sm
  I even still handle floppy disks all the time.  The magnets aren't that strong.
Just hit Alt+Shift+left arrow on line 1 and it will go to the left margin. Otherwise,
you need to use a numbered list style to do it every time. Each version is different, but you may already have a numbered list style in yours that stays at the left margin. Just assign a keyboard shortcut to that style.

Blue ?

 HELP.  Has anybody heard of, or used a transcription platform called "Blue".....  (something...don't know what...).   I heard  somewhere(?) about this  "Blue..." system and apparently it's supposed to be super ?!!   Anybody have a clue?  .   TY in advance. 


Yes, I have the blue W and
I have typed a few reports using these steps and it does report, and no one is complaining about format so I guess it works.  Thanks a bunch for your help.
I'd give anything for blue!

My carpeting is pink, not rose, but pink.  Apparently the previous owners to the person we bought our house from also had a pink stove and pink refrigerator with horrid looking kitchen wallpaper with big pink roses on it.


If that's not bad enough my bathroom is purple.  Lilacs on the wallpaper, purple tub, flush and sink. My daughter used to call it the "Barney bathroom."


Great neighborhood though.


blue smiley
what do the sad looking blue smiley faces mean beside some of the threads? 
The blue lines don't mean anything on the (sm)
digital tests.  Please visit the site peeonastick.com for more info.  That chick knows her pregnancy tests. 
Did you try right clicking on the blue bar?
There should be a place to check for an address bar.
I'm planning on getting blue flu that week. nm

The audience would be the blue states,

aka, the ones who voted for Kerry.  I guarantee this movie will flop in the red states.  It's just one more attempt to push the gay agenda down our throats, making it more mainstream and palatable.  Won't happen in my state, Texas.  There is no such thing as a gay cowboy, that's an oxymoron. 


blue screen of death

I'm not sure if he went back to myspace a second time, I'll have to ask him.  Thanks for all the help.  I got it at Best Buy so I think I'll take it back there and see what they have to say also. I just don't want him away at college and have the darn thing crashing all the time.  It's not like you can just keep buying new ones at that price!



It still happens, mostly in blue collar jobs,
jobs,too, but not as much.  The employer tells them they are IC, but there are still many people out there who don't understand what that exactly means.  All they see is the extra money on their paycheck and they figure they'll worry about the taxes later, or don't fully understand the implications of being IC and don't know what a 1099 is.  Rack it up to immaturity or being naive, but it still happens.  The IRS has cracked down in recent years and has it's criteria for IC status, which doesn't apply to everyone (look at real estate agents, who can only work for one broker, but yet be an IC). It is beneficial to the employer because it saves the employer money on the SS 'match', plus savings on work comp insurance, unemployment taxes, liability insurance.  To me, being an IC means I don't have an employer - I have a customer and I must do the work they hired me to do or I will lose that customer to someone else.
And how do you know they weren't cussing up a blue

I second that, Wild Blue works well (sm)
for me. Tried Hughes a few years back and it was awful but maybe they are improved now. Have had Wildblue for 2 years and it works pretty good.
I don’t think he would just out of the blue suggest the medicine
Probably you made mention of having had the cervical cancer and that is where the dialogue started, right? As far as the x-ray, think that is being overplayed with that and fertility. Loads of children, females included, have x-rays when younger and do not lose their ability to have children. You sound like you are stressed out, mentioning this and that, xrays, miscarriages, sterility, etc., etc.
Possibly Wild Blue?....sm
I don't live in Oregon, but am in rural western Washington. I know a few MTs who use Wild Blue and are happy with it, so that would be my only suggestion.

I did want to say that I have been using satellite for about three years now (a small local company), have been on no less than 4 different MT platforms, and never had any problems. Yes, satellite can be susceptible to extreme weather...but if you're in a rural area you're about as likely to have your power go out anyway in extreme weather!
Best of luck.
