Is anyone else having trouble playing games? I'm on Safari and have been for months. I've been playing games here on AARP for a long time and today I was playing Eggz and had to leave the game.

Is anyone else having trouble playing games? I'm on Safari and have been for months. I've been playing games here on AARP for a long time and today I was playing Eggz and had to leave the game. It ran through, and when I returned, I could no longer play another game on AARP from Safari. I can play on Mozilla, but they don't play smoothly and there's a huge delay, which is why I always play on Safari. Many links act like they aren't links, although, some are fine. I can click all day long and it won't change. I cleared out all the cookies thinking that might work, and I tried closing out the page and coming back but it doesn't work. If I try to click on the Frequently asked Questions, or any of the links in that block, but nothing happens--it's as if they aren't links. I can click on the games I want and it takes me to the screen where it counts down 5 seconds, it just never goes any further down than 5. It sits there all day like that and shows no sign of movement. Does anyone have any ideas? It's really strange how this started immediately after having to let the game run down. Thanks. p.s. I couldn't even post this message from Safari. I had to come to Mozilla to post it. |

I just downloaded Google Chrome and the games download very fast. I was using Internet Explorer and it took forever for any of the games to download. But on IE, you can zoom in and out for 50 - 400. So, one can adjust the size to play a game, where as on Google Chrome, you can't do that. Also, there are no favorites in Google Chrome to save your games too. I opt for the speed, as it was very very frustrating to wait forever for a game to download. All was just fine, before someone decided to play with this cite and ruin it :(

My sister told me that she was having problems with other links and Safari today, so there might be something wrong there. With Google Chrome, you can hit "Ctrl" and "+" or "-" and that will zoom in and out. Also, if you click on the star on the right of the "address bar," you can save to favorites. Then click on the little wrench on the far right (beyond the star) to find your bookmarks. Good luck!

I was playing around and finally played with the small wrench and I got the ZOOM. I was just going to post this, when I saw your post first. Thank you so much for trying to be of help to me. I certainly appreciate it. Now I can really enjoy the games again. It was just awful on INTERNET EXPLORER. It took forever and I always had a yellow error near the left bottom of page. Thanks again :) |
