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!

Microsoft Word 2021 & Verbatim USB Reviews!

                 Today, I have two product reviews and I am going to start with Microsoft Word 2021. Now, I haven't had Microsoft Word for at least 5 - 7 Years now and with my Corel Word Perfect acting really weird as my printer isn't being recognized I am now done with that program at this point and actually the version of Word Perfect it's a very old program nearly 20 years old and it was time for an upgrade actually.  So I spent nearly 200 dollars on a Microsoft  Word 2021 and so far I love it 100% love it more then Corel. Now I know I have Corel editing software and I am not going to throw any of those away. I know, I know I am stalling but this program offers so much more and I like the fact you can actually have headers and footers in your document which the other program didn't offer and all programs are different and again the version of the program was an older program and we all know the newer versions have new features added. However I am quite satisfied and happy with this program and it gets 10 out of 10 rating even though I am still navigating around the program. Last little note is I just didn't get word but has other programs that came in the package and I will review it once I start using it.

                  Now the second purchase almost 55 dollars later so looking at me spending 250 dollars between but yesterday morning my old USB pretty much died, I couldn't delete or save files on there so I had to spend the money on a new one and I got the Verbatim USB which is amazing and I just started to use it this morning and it actually lets me password protect the USB so if it gets lost and someone puts in it they will not know the password to it and unable to open it which is great to have it password protected. This actually keeps the privacy of my documents and what is actually on there. It was worth the money to spend on the programs that I got and hopefully this is the end of my spending spree for a while so I can save up again as it has been spend, spend, spend recently. Anyways that is my post and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a movie review on the blog.
