This is what most may think is a useless bit of information but for those who aren't computer savvy, like myself, I think it could be helpful.
A lot of people are having trouble with their search engine being misdirected. It's an obnoxious event. If you're having trouble getting it fixed, or you're working to get it fixed, or it still does it no matter how many times you try to fix it, you can still browse without being misdirected. Give this a try...
First, I know it'll work with Firefox; maybe even IE, I just don't use IE so I don't know. When I had this problem what I did was use Google as my search engine. When I found a topic I wanted to investigate more, instead of clicking on the link, I clicked on cache and when the page opened I then clicked on current page. From there you can click on any link on the page and you won't get misdirected (you don't have to click on current page I just like to; if you just click on cache you can still click on links with no problems). Even though my search engine no longer goes here, there or anywhere, I've gotten in the habit of doing this and, as of yet (fingers crossed), I haven't gotten that page that looks like it's an actual "My Computer" page from Windows telling me I have 101 viruses.
Yes, a simple thing to do but if it helps one person to browse I consider the time I spent typing it out worth it. I do hope someone benefits from it. You never realize how much you search until you can't any more.
Now, onto something else. Have you ever been lied to; know you're being lied to, but don't know how to call the person out on it? I now find myself in that position. It's driving me nuts. Especially since I've already caught this person in the past lying about the same thing and I made it plainly clear that it wasn't what they were lying about that made me mad; it was the lying itself. How hard is it to be honest?! Especially in that circumstance. I so do not want to stoop to searching to find evidence to call this person out on this matter but for their own health I'm afraid I'm going to have to. How fun that's going to be. *said with sarcasm*
Well, since I seem to be heading for a case of serious Verbal Diarrhea I'm going to end on that note (I was going to abbreviate Verbal Diarrhea but then realized that abbreviating it down to the initials would be VD so I guess I'm going to have to figure out a different abbreviation :-). I hope someone finds my simple browser tip useful. I'm going to try to add different hints/tips/ideas/thoughts to every blog. I've been told I'm a fountain of useless information. Let's see if that's right :-)
