    Evening!

    Having computer probs :( , Internet Explorer will open but I can't get onto any websites, although Firefox seems to be working fine. Windows Live Messenger (or whatever it's called now) wont open at all, but I can sign in from my phone, or via web messenger. Did I break Microsoft?

    hi Snags, you could try uninstalling windows live, rebooting your pc then re-installing windows live...

    back from NI :)

    hello all.

    hi Doomy :wave:
    Hi all, I am back, bet you didnt miss me did you :p I have been around but I have been unwell again so decided to obstain from posting :rotfl: I was going good on bingo, got up to 6239 and then lost all of it :rolleyes: The problem is running BP slows my pc so much :mad:

    Anyways came on to ask a question. I used my debit card in two shops on the 19th. One shop (Orange) took its payment within two days ~ the usual however the other (Claires) havent taken theirs :rolleyes: Its now been 8 days/6 working days. Aside from phoning the bank what can I do :confused: Or shall I wait untill Monday?

    i thought the point of debit cards was that the money got taken out straight away?i :confused:i'd not worry aobut it but leave that amount in your account on the safe side.

    Thanks Scaredy, they do take that amount straight away generally but it doesnt show on your account for 2-4 working days (ie on your statement). However I can't work out if its 'hanging' or not because I have used my card since :rolleyes:

    I bought something from somewhere PAP (can't remember what or where) I didn't think anything of it until I looked at my statement the other day and I saw the transaction. It took about 3 weeks to come out.

    On the top right of the bingo screen you will see pre buy or auto buy something like that. Just click on max and it'll do it for you.

    That would be the chat game thing. You get 30 points or something when you win and then pick someone to give 30 points to. I never bother with them. You will have got points for your win on the full house.

    Can I get it to do it for every game?
    Or do I have to physically click on max :confused:

    If you click on max under where it says auto buy it will buy for every game until you run out of points or quit the room. Once you've clicked max once you can go away and get on with life :D

    edit: just make sure you are clicking max under auto buy and not auto select.
