Firefox dislikes when we make changes to the website

Ever since my team and I made the changes with the newer graphics as we are slowly in transition which I will get to on Monday's Labour Day blog. But all the other browsers such as Chrome and Edge and what Kelsie our resident Community Manager uses, Opera Browser, she's told me the new favourite icon at the top of the tab does show for her.  So  this means Firefox is being an old stick in the mud again. We had that same issue with Firefox before when we changed from the blue background, gold, white text with the red maple leaf to the black background scheme we had that same issue as we do now

       And it is only Firefox that is being a problem right now nothing else as we tested it everywhere.  I think the way to fix this bug is to clear out the cache and the issue is truly fixed the problem at hand. I just find it hilarious out of all the browsers that is the only one as I said before. Go figure. Not sure if it's a setting on the browser that's causing the issue with ChrisBOnTheWeb.com or not. Anyways that is my post for today and hope this helps you guys out if you see the old logo to clear your history and should fix the entire issue all together and as always I hope you enjoyed reading this and appreciate each and everyone of you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Discord Stages-- Been Speaking On Some!

           I have been speaking on a follower of mine from when I was still on Twitter, Discord server (Keith, big shout to him for having me on) and it has been nothing but an amazing experience actually. The first time I was really, really nervous as I never have done these before in the past but the second time I was really getting into those and I actually did something that I didn't have to do but I wanted to share how I use Word as that was the topic last week that was brought up towards the end of his Stage and I shared one of my notes with my podcast Entertainment Man Podcast which I am always happy to share my experiences and techniques how I do things. 

         That is why I love about being on these being able to speak and share my experiences not just on my podcast but outside any of my podcasts within my network, where I can help people out. I am a very techy kind of person and these stages really are for me as I said I can share my experiences. I enjoy doing these and cannot wait to do them in the future and I try to be in every one of them if I am available and I always try and book myself ahead of time and make sure I do not have interviews so I can attend Keith's amazing event. So big thank you to Keith for having me on and able to speak and cannot wait to share my experiences and knowledge I have in the 37 years I have been on this world.

Advice To Getting Your Computer To Run Faster

               Mind you, I am no computer expert, but as you know I have had my share of computer problems recently but I since removing a ton of things off my PC meaning programs that I never used anymore and boy it took me a while to take things. I can say for crying out loud I still had Discord and XSplit programs on my computer which is nuts. It was quite a surprise to be quite honest programs that I wasn't aware of whatsoever I still had from the past but in the end I found it that my computer has officially gotten a bit speedier and yes it still slows down and remember it is an older or oldish computer now more like 8 years and it has done a lot so I have a lot to be thankful for with this PC, it has worked countless hours, running almost 24 hours a day with the occasional nights off. 

                So the best advice I can give is clean out your PC get an external hard drive or USB drive and store some of your pictures or videos or audio on there. More you store away the better it is when it comes to the speed of your computer. I can also recommend to run your programs on your computer for anti virus and Disk defrag which is a huge thing but it is very important to run the programs once a week to ensure that you keep the computer speedy and fast. Again I know I am not a computer expert but that is the advice that I know of that can help you guys and it is important to make sure  you run all your programs to keep your computer and healthy. I regret to say I do not but starting to take care of it more as much as possible. That is my post for today and I will talk to you guys tomorrow as always!

The Night Siri Wasn't Herself (Throwback Thursday)

                 For those who don't know, Siri is a Virtual Assistant on your IPhone. She can be quite funny or annoying as I have had my moments getting mad at her yet she's an AI voice technically. Anyways she has a habit of telling me I am next door at either of my neighbors... LOL which I call her out on every time she tells me a lie. Well, I swear she was drunk... She was giving me locations from down the hill to the street behind me to little ways away from here and she just was acting nuts and I dunno what was going on but she was lost and yet I was sitting down in my studio working on editing podcasts for you guys so you would have content for the next few weeks as you know I need to work on Dino Thunder. Anyways, I tried her the next morning and she was giving me either my exact location or next door from me and it was like she was drinking the night behind. However I was literally in tears and almost on the floor laughing so hard I had to share with my mom what she was doing to me.... 

              I know I ask the most ridiculous questions to her at times but she sometimes gives me some interesting answers to my questions. She can definitely keep you entertained and yes you can even look up what you can and cannot say to her as you have to watch what you say cause she accidently cranked called my friend Terry by accident.... Yet I never even said his name whatsoever. She is very sensitive at times but fun to ask questions like even what time it is in certain countries which is cool. So I had to tell you guys this little story and I wish I told you guys this story sooner honestly but it happened just a week ago but least it is fresh and this gives you guys content. Next week I want to tell you guys about the day I renewed an old web series for more episodes for an entire 1st season and where I was at the time of it happening. I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Android Vs. IPhone.... Which One Do I Prefer?

              First of all crap hit the fan when my mouse stopped working and I had Larry over and had to go get another mouse for my computer at Canada Computers which I love the fact they are nearby and easy to get at. Anyways, we were looking at the protection cases for phones while we waited to check out my mouse and that is when I got this entire idea for Android vs IPhone which one is better? First of all, I have had both Android & IPhone, currently with IPhone at his current moment.. What the heck I said IPhone 3 times, dang it 4 now... smh. Anyways this blog post i getting so derailed now, but the question of the day is which one is better. Well I can say first of all Android it is easier to get a virus compare to IOS as I never got a virus warning sign whatsoever so Android I like but certain phones I didn't like, such as Samsung being one of them. The LG G3 wasn't bad either and I actually was hoping to get he LG G5 or the G6 which are more the latest as those phones which I really liked it. IPhone at the start I found it really hard to figure out how the heck to use it but however, I managed to figured it out how to use it minus Facetime which I still gotta figure out hopefully around my birthday I will get to do that with family if they wish to do so.


                Now the million dollar question is which one do I prefer, it is the IPhone. Why? Because I like the fact I got a lot other apps I can use, such as the podcasts app, which are hooked up to the ITunes Podcast and yes Mine is in there as well as I have subscribed to myself as sometimes I do tune into my own podcast from time to time but I will talk about it in a later time. Also ITunes are on there but I think you can get them onto a android but I could be wrong about it but you never really know as I never really tried downloading it onto my android when I had android. But I do prefer the IPhone as I said before it sure has a lot more features then android but that is only one man's opinion.
