Hello in the LockdownHi There It says "add your comment" so i don't know if thats the same as "reply" as in most forums. Either way, I am a fit 79 yr old, happily married but always willing to chat, have a laugh, help in any way, just respond to this post. I don't know my way around this forum yet as it's laid out differently, any advice is welcome. GeorgeViewDate:

Lonely and vulnerable and looking to chatHi KiaraR Sorry to hear about your position, but if you can use the internet ok, keep in touch with many people. I am a fit 79 year old male and will chat anytime. Only 2 things I don't talk about are religion and politics. Look forward to hearing from youViewDate:

Passwordsoeby52 I have done similar for Ageuk in the past, am not qualified, but pass on what I have learned. Good advice re passwords, but I THINK even better (only my opinion) is this explanation, and it may help next poster Redskin. 1-the text book tells us, a different PW for each site we visit. 2-dont write them down. 3- we all know that is impossible to do. I use this method which is similar to yours......think of a phrase you wont forget, and remember, most sites insist you include a number and at least 1 upper case, try this example >>>>> I joined the silver surfers site today at 2pm then take the first letter of each word which becomes this >>>Ijtsssta2p so you have a capital I and a number, the examples you can use are numerous and easy to remember>>>> i have 3 grandchildren Aged 3, 4 and 6>>>> ih3gA34a6ViewDate:

Technology in generalHi Mark I used to do similar for Age UK in Southport where I live, it was only basic stuff as I am not qualified, but all I have picked up during my time using pc. It was mainly older people and I concentrated on setting up email account, and how to stay safe.ViewDate:

Hacked..off!Hi I cannot see a reply button, so hope this reaches Yogafan and his/her problem. My son has fallen for this trick twice, lucky enough, I managed to retreive the money he was scammed for £290 + £499. My advice is simple, lets assume you have 10 friends or businesses that you correspond with, if EVER you receive an email other than those 10 (or how many you decide on), you delete that email that is not among your 10. Do you use Googlemail?ViewDate:
