If you have difficulty starting in GOOGLE GROUPS, try clearing your cache and deleting old files. Don't know how to do this ? If you are using Internet Explorer, in the menu on the top of your screen, go into TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, DELETE FILES, CLEAR CACHE. If you are not using Internet Explorer .... er, um .... scream.
Everyone must have an account with Google
Don't forget that you will have to register with GOOGLE if you have not done so already. Being registered with Liobians will not give you access by itself. Yes, you will need to be registered with Liobians but you need to go to open an account with Google like everybody else. Go here to Open an Account with Google.
The "over 18" confirmation page still won't go away ?
Try this if you have other problems getting past the "Over 18" screen ... go to Internet Options, Privacy and Sites .. you
need to set the groups-beta.google domain to ALLOW.
Have you been using a Google Killer like G Zapper to rid you of that damn cookie monster ?
If you have been using G Zapper, go to Internet Options, Privacy and Sites .. you need to set the groups-beta.google domain to ALLOW.
How to put up your Image/Photograph
Sign in as normal. Click on VIEW in BETA. At the top of the page, click on PROFILE. Click on EDIT to change your image .. anything you like, your photo, photo of your budgie, vacuum cleaner, coat or arms or mother-in-law.
You can also put in the URL of your website and a bit about yourself. Have a look at the info for a fellow Liobian, the rake, mountebank and cad "Shagger Smith" ... email address is ozscouse AT hotmail DOT com ... note, you can use this route to also change your email settings.
Adoption of the Beta version, is entirely up to the viewer, it does not appear to affect the data itself. So it's like looking at the same thing with (a) a telescope or (b) binoculars, well, that's the best analogy that I can think of. Although it is easy to go to the beta from the original, it may not be so easy to go back. You could have both versions of the site bookmarked .... now read on ...
How to Toggle Out of Google Beta
..... If you want to go back to standard Google view having been into Google Beta viewing, a neat way of doing this is just to go up to the URL and
delete the "-beta" from the URL and hit RETURN. Works a doddle for me. .
The text on the opening page is often shown all jangled up
Look under the coloured title "Google" at top LHS ... there's a toggle "No frame" which sorts out the mess. (Ken Ashcroft)
Click on SIGN IN on the top right hand corner of the page
