Hello I'm sorry as I don't know who to talk to, it's about my Dad who on your site is americancritic. My Dad lost his battle with cancer three weeks ago in Phoenix, AZ, Dad left me four large journals and as I was going through them he had wrote many things about your site and called you his family. I am the youngest of all the kids as I am 17. I want to keep his membership with you open as I would love to pick up where he left off.

Since I now have his computer and it has the same IP address when logging in I don't know if it can be changed or not. I'm not real smart with computers but I know enough to move around so to speak.

So is there anyone who can let me know if I can keep dads account and under his name americancritic.

Thank you all for your time and friendship with him.

Danny, we are sorry for your loss.

We have no issue with you continuing to access the account Either as is, or if you wish to change the user name this is also possible.

I hope you get as much from the account as your father obviously did

Hi Danny,

Sorry to hear about your Dad. He enjoyed posting here, and if you do the same, you may enjoy it too.

Thank you everyone, I was wondering if there is someone who goes by the name Rich46, I might be wrong about the site issue but if he is a member would you please let him know as my Dad says he was his best friend on the forum.

Also could you please let me know what the forum does as I have not had the chance to learn anything yet. Is there anything I should read if so what or where do I find it. Are there any do's and don'ts, are there any rules that I can read. Any and all help will be gratefully appreciated...

Thank you again.

Danny...

Hi Danny,

Sorry about your dad, I know he was off and on the forum in the last few years, I thought he said he had beaten the cancer at one point, I'm really sorry for your loss.

Yeah here is Rich's page, I know they were close friends, richc46's Seven Forums Profile richc46

The forum is basically a place where people come and get help or give help with their computers and hang out and share ideas and stuff.

Here are the RULES

This FAQ section will help you out too.

You can just ask questions too, everybody likes to help.

 

[derekimo]

This is where I met your dad, on our sister forum, Vista Forums,

This is his page here,

americancritic

He was a lot more active over there.

Derekimo I think it was due to his cancer he always told us he did not feel good, plus the break up, my Mom's fault, maybe she just did not know how to handle what he was going through. Mom and Dad were married 30 years when she started to act out these things.

I do not know if I posted this in the right area of the forum or not. I am sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I read the rules and the FAQ and thank you very much for your help.

If I need help on the forum who do I turn to, is it one person I direct my questions to if so who.

Danny...

 

[derekimo]

Yeah, sorry, I know things get pretty rough. You're welcome. You don't have to ask anyone in particular just ask, someone will answer or point you to someone else. Everybody is pretty helpful.

Danny, I am sorry to hear about your Dad. I am proud to think that that thought so highly of me, but he was loved by everyone. I have notified others and he will be missed and he will receive many prayers. Whatever your religious belief be assured, he is happy now and still looking after you.

Danny, this an awesome forum to learn about the Windows Operating Systems. If you have an interest just come, read and learn. If you have something to contribute, you can also, sign up and make comments with your own profile. I am sure that the members here will look forward to your posts just as we did with your Dad.

I'm also sorry for the loss of your Dad. Thank you for letting us know what happened to him and welcome to Seven Forums!

 

[Joan Archer]

I'll offer my condolences as well for you and your loss Danny. We'll all miss him but we hope you will be able to find lots of help here, thanks for telling us he lost his battle with cancer and enjoy your time here with us.

 

[americancritic2]

I really did not know he had so many friends in one place, thank you all for helping him and just being a friend. I know after all these he must of had more friends at the forum, Thank you all and I look forward to being a member but it will take me awhile as I'm going thorough so much I cry all the time and there is something in me that is now missing. I am very happy knowing he is no longer in pain and anger that he left me. Maybe I am being selfish but I want him to be here with me.

Danny...

 

[Joan Archer]

Of course you are Danny, that's your grief, it's never easy losing a parent but remember all the good times and the lessons in life he has taught you. Depending on your beliefs he very well will be looking down on you so you show him how proud he can be of you at being a son to be proud of.

Hello, oh my gosh that is so beautiful. I think it is called a signature. Who or how many involved in doing this for my Dad may God bless each and everyone of you. I don't think the words thank you is enough for what you have done, I know there has to be something higher then that and I don't even know the words to express the way I feel for what you have done, maybe if I was a little older I would know. I know I have not met any of you except in these post's, but I think I know how my dad felt about you all and you truly are family, it takes special people to do something like this. I wish I knew how to make a copy of it so I could show people and tell them just how special you are.

I am still very upset and crying it's hard to see the screen, I feel like I'm falling apart, but after seeing this I had to try and tell you the way I feel.

Right tick on the image. Select (Save As)
Save it in 'My Pictures'
You should be able to print it from there if you care to.

Hello layback bear/Jack I am very new to computers and never knew about right click cause I never was involved enough to learn, me and my dad were always out doing something together. I am learning now from the forum about things on the computer. Dad said he did not want me to go to those bad site's about women, you know what I mean, well since all of are experts at the computers I guess you would know. So the right click thing can I go on the internet and say I find a beautiful landscape picture I could right click on it and then save it as and that picture would save it to my computer. So if I did that how would I find the picture so I could put it on the desktop so I could see it all the time. Here's the big one could make a picture of dad and I and save it and it would be the first thing I see when I turn on my computer. My screen is 1920x1080 that's what it shows, could I take the signature wolf that someone on the forum made for my dad and use it when the computer comes on.

Is there any site or on this forum that would help me learn, like small books etc. Are there any tutorial's is what I think they are called explaining things about computers. Since all I'm doing is going through my dad's computer I guess I should learn what I am doing. Oh and thanks everyone I did not know about the external hard drive until you told me to transfer all the data, pictures, and dad's legal stuff it took a lot of hours and now this external hard drive is full.

Can someone give me a suggestion on getting another external hard drive, one that is a TB, we have a fry's electronics' a mile from where we live I can take the bus to get one. There's no hurry as I can do it anytime. I want a pretty good one that maybe some of you got for yourself. I have saved my money for the last year and a half so I hope they are not real expensive, but I have saved almost 1100.00 I hope it is not more then this as I would have to wait and not get one until I save some more.

All of you are so very helpful. I really thank you for all your help, maybe some day I can repay you for your kindness. My Dad had real friends here at the forum and I see why as you all put yourself out there for anyone who needs help and you do it just because of Love, there is no other way to explain why you do it. You are all paying it forward and you ask nothing in return, Please try and feel in your heart the way others feel when you help them, it's a feeling you just feel in your heart. Bravo, you just got a pat on your back, you are all very special people. Thank You

Danny...
