The EU thought they were doing everyone a favour by enforcing the announcement of the use of cookies on any website that you open here in Europe.<br /><br />The https:// has been rolled out on all blogs which do not have their own domain name. If you have a domain name of your own choosing (i.e. not a 'blogspot' addy), you can opt to change to https:// but it is not automatic.<br /><br />It is okay to 'x' them and accept that Google knows what it is doing and it is all actually for better security. Or you can go your own way!

The internet is great nearly 100% of the time so we are lucky with that.<br />I feel different places in the world have different problems to others.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-34691428082801853452016-11-22T19:55:20.128+08:002016-11-22T19:55:20.128+08:00Thanks for the info and I am wondering if this has...Thanks for the info and I am wondering if this has happened because of Brexit.<br />Sorry about the sciatica...I had it for years but when my back got worse for some reason the sciatic pain went away. Sometimes I wish I had it back. lol<br />I have heard some folk in Oz not happy with NBN and I am sure it will be out of date before or if it is ever finished.<br />Glad 'other' things are looking good. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-51474167805695243862016-11-22T10:07:31.786+08:002016-11-22T10:07:31.786+08:00ooops, it seems I was wrong. after reading your fi...ooops, it seems I was wrong. after reading your first commenter it is about cookies.

Are you talking about the HTTP vs HTTPS warning on the 'new post' page?<br />I read it a couple of times and from what I understand we can choose to leave our blog names with the http:// prefix and everyone can read it or we can switch to https:// and the blog will be encrpyted and only those we wish will be allowed to read. I just closed both messages and am leaving my blog name as is.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-67649957529981316592016-11-22T08:11:04.663+08:002016-11-22T08:11:04.663+08:00I think you should thank your lucky stars you get ...I think you should thank your lucky stars you get services as cheaply as you do as long as they work. Our cell service is ridiculous and our land line doesn't work for calls, let alone internet.<br /><br />I hope you got rid of that notice.

All you need to in your dashboard is click the 'x' at top right and the message will go away. It is just that when anyone in Europe opens your page, they will see the cookies warning... I have scheduled a post about it for Thursday. In short. Ignore it!<br /><br />How nice that you have a younger friend to keep in touch with - and the he is keen to maintain that contact. It can happen, that 'prescience' thing; I get it a lot! <br /><br />We have a similar kinda scheme about 'rural broadband' here in UK and it has just been hooked up in my town... but like you I see no need to pay the extra dollars when my landline and current i'net bundle are working perfectly well for me. ... if it ain't broke and all that!!!<br /><br />This week would be better if the sciatica would move along. But other than that it's looking fine! YAM xxYamini MacLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383916589808462620noreply@blogger.com
