There are many ways to take a screenshot. Here is a simple way to take one of part or the whole of a webpage:

1. Use Firefox.
2. Right-click the page, then click 'Take Screenshot'.
3. You can now select the area to copy, 'save'(copy) the visible area, or, impressively, copy the whole page.
4. Click the 'Download' button.
5. The image will be saved to your 'Downloads' folder.

Only got part of screen on laptop again
Happened once before and John or someone told me how to fix it but I can't remember what it was.
Can someone help please.

I can watch videos in news reports on my tablet/phone but not always in Edge using Windows 10. One newspaper is the Express. Any idea what I can do to get them to play?

Police forces in 17 countries have been involved in the taking down of the Genisis Market website. The site had about 80 million passwords for sale for as little as 56p a batch. Another information available enabled scammers to log in to Facebook, Amazon, PayPal and Netflix. Dutch police have launched a website which enables you to check if your data has been sold. Click the link below, then click the blue 'Check your hack' button then type your email address. You will receive an email notification only if your address is in the database.

Dangers of having Bluetooth turned on when out and about in public places:

There are three different ways that a device that has Bluetooth enabled can be hacked. They are:

1. Bluejacking
2. Bluesmarfing
3. Bluebugging

Bluejacking enables a stranger nearby to send you an unsolicited message.

Bluesnarfing enables data such as passwords, contacts and images to be downloaded by a hacker. This is hard to detect if you even manage to do so.

Bluebugging is the most dangerous, because it can install malware (a malicious program) which enables a hacker to have access to your device whenever and wherever they are. They can listen to your calls, and even reply to your text messages.

To avoid all of the above dangers, simply turn off Bluetooth. If, for some reason, you must have it enabled, then google the settings you must make for your device to make it as safe as possible.

Understandably, some members are not aware of the problem of using the & character on Scooploop. If you do not leave a space after it, then it, and any following letters will not show. This is a known problem in the programming used. The & is an instruction that says: if there is a letter(s) immediately after me, then ignore me and any following letter(s). Strangely, this does not happen in a post's title.

Until 1878, & was the 27th letter of the alphabet.

Never post any personal information on a public website: name/address/phone number/email address/personal photo. On Facebook, never post your holiday photos while you are on holiday, or that you are going on holiday.

If you ever have doubts about a website address/link/file, go to Virustotal.com , select the appropriate tab . It will then be scanned by about 80/90 virus checkers. Checking a website or link will show the number of positive/negative results. When you have the result, you can click the details tab to see where the link will take you. You can then make up your mind if you want to go there. I have attached screenshots of the detection tab and the details tab. A few positives can be ignored, but that is up to you. These are the results of scanning the following link: https://www.scooploop.com/thread/the-shocking-impact-of-domestic-cats-on-wildlife.

Search results can be from any time in the past, so to choose how recent you would like the results to be, do the following:
When the results of your search are displayed, click tools at the far right under the search text box at the top of the page. On the far left under 'All', will appear 'Any time'. Click the dropdown arrow to choose the time period that you would like the results to come from.

Can anyone tell me whether / how you can restore your Whatsapp chats when you transfer to a new phone (Android to Android)? I've tried googling it but can't seem to find a clear and straightforward answer. Has anyone successfully managed it? Thanks for any help or suggestions. 😊

Nokia has teamed up with self-repair company iFixit to supply spare parts which come with the necessary tools:
Charge port 18.99
Battery 22.99
Screen 44.99

To exclude a word from search results, place a - preceded by a space before the word. So, if you are looking for a toaster, and don't want results from amazon, type the following without the quotes 'toaster -amazon'.

Looking around Scooploop I have seen the effect that members leaving has. If you decide to 'leave' Scooploop, then unless you have a reason to delete your posts/comments, then there is no reason to do anything. There are more than 10,000 members on Scooploop, if you look at their profiles you will see many with no activity at all. These accounts are doing no harm; the member may be a reader or no longer be around.
If you just want to not be involved in Scooploop for a while for some reason, you could turn off PMs, so as not to waste people's time, and put some information in your profile. You can then 'return' at any time.
Deleting your account leaves a post with deleted comments, and ruins the post for readers, current and future. Look back on some old posts to see for yourself.
Also, if you are a big contributor in a loop, deleting your account deprives members of any interesting/useful information you have posted. If I were to delete my account, then the IT loop would be almost empty.

To search a particular site for say a particular subject, you can precede the site address with 'site:', then, after the site's address, leave a space and enter what you are looking for. So, to look on Scooploop for posts about Covid, you would type the following, without the quotes, in the address bar:
'site:scooploop.com covid'

Any info. please

Landline/Mobile calls/Broadband - BT Landline and BT Mobile services (including most rental and call prices and the cost of calling or texts to EU countries) will increase on or after 31 March each year from March 2023 by CPI plus 3.9%.

Still have the problem with my Gmail account
It comes up as a sort of 'virgin' site with no messages and nothing in labels.
I have to sign out of Google and sign in again and then sign into gmail but it often takes 4 attempts to get my old version back.

What could be stopping them from coming in ?
It is not in airplane mode and phone calls come through okay

I've been using Zoom since early in lockdown but didn't have an account, just followed links to classes etc set up by other people. While using an old laptop PC running Windows 7, I had to update Zoom manually to reduce malfunctions during sessions.
Having replaced the laptop with one running Windows 10, I hoped that I'd no longer have to update Zoom manually but it's been malfunctioning again lately. I've updated it (I think) and set up a personal account, in case that helps - but have really no idea how to make this simpler.
What do the more technically minded do to keep Zoom running smoothly?

For the last few days I have not had anything in my Gmail, nothing from Scooploop and nothing from anywhere else, not even spam/junk what could be wrong ?

I have just noticed, that for some reason, the app is no longer available on the Play Store. So you will not be able to install on a new device, or reinstall it on an existing device.

It comes up as just a little square in right top corner, am now using Firefox but prefer Chrome and my usual layout.

As a test to "encourage" users to upgrade from the old copper network, Openreach is going to limit the download speed to around 2Mbps and prevent outward phone calls (other than emergency services, alarms etc.) in Salisbury in Wiltshire and Mildenhall in Suffolk. Reduction of the broadband speed will start in April, and the prevention of calls will start 5th June.

There ar 69 of them, loads I didn't put on [some recently] and a lot I don't even know what they are, is this a problem ?

When Samsung send updates on their mobiles why does it change lots of settings and often apps as well, it takes ages to get your phone to get it back to how it was. Also, we had 2 updates in 2days it seems we are getting updates weekly now and they always change some settings

The government is planning to start an emergency service this year that uses mobile phones to broadcast warnings. These alerts will use 4G and 5G. Full details here, watch the video:

I have been invited to join Whats App for my local area but only have a Doro payg phone and a landline

Can I join to receive on Apple laptop and if possible how do I do it? Please answers in the simplest form. Many thanks.

Sorry I deleted my post as the email photos are working now, seems they just needed a bit of time to get through.

I'm not getting S/loop notifications by email at the moment for some reason but looking to see if I've hit the wrong button, notifications offer email and push (all turned on), just wondered what push means, please.

I did something yesterday which has messed up the laptop, think I installed Chrome which sent it funny so I uninstalled. This hasn't helped at all. Could someone tell me please how to get to the bit where you can go back 24 hours and hopefully that will correct it - thanks!

Now in Updates. If you don't want it, click the coloured not bold text next to Download.

If you don't want Windows 11, beware Windows 11 Amazon Prime type screens. Read carefully before clicking anything.

I got 2 BT landline phones. One phone is not ringing. I know it is quite simple to restore but forgot which button to press. to unmute? Can not find it in menu.

LastPass did not reveal the full extent of the hack. A security expert says that you should assume that your passwords have been, or could be compromised, and you should change your master password and every password in your vault.

I have noticed members having trouble viewing websites. This is due to using cookie blockers. To be able to view the website, you have to click the cookie notice which you can't see.

I thought these automatically happened with updates but it says I have to download and install.
What are they exactly and what could an update do ?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S22+ Android phone and two Windows computers.
The phone will connect to my spare computer via USB to transfer files but when I connect to my main computer Windows 10 says that the device is not recognised.
I use the same cable each time and both computers run Windows 10 64 bit.
All my other USB devices work fine and I've tried different USB sockets - hard wired to the motherboad, Front drivebay and hub.
It used to work ok on my main computer so I suspect that a Windows update has changed something.
The reason this is an issue is that i want to update my contacts from Microsoft Outlook on my main computer to my phone using Samsung Smartswitch.
Alternatively is there any way to do this over bluetooth?
Any suggestions about how to fix this will be welcome.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Brave browser. This automatically removes adverts at the beginning and during the video. Other browsers need to have an extension which is a small easily added program. If you use Chrome or Edge browsers, you can get the extension here: https://bit.ly/3GxxPnH
If you use Firefox, see the comment below.
