Gary, maybe the American auto clubs still work that way, but several of the Canadian clubs just out and out sell stars. Yes, they send reviewers, but if you haven't paid for a corporate membership you don't get reviewed or rated, and the more you pay the better your rating. |

Watch out for Hotel.com reviews too. I had a very bad experience at one place I booked thought them. They always ask for a review and I tend to be very honest with what I say. They rejected my negative review several times. I ended up having to file a lawsuit against the hotel and Hotel.com. Only after I won did they agree to publish my negative review. |

We don't travel a lot any more, but it seemed that recommendations from personal friends and family were more useful to us than any rating system. Not to forget that it isn't like we ever stayed in the Ritz! edit: If we get to England any time soon, I am hoping that our friends there will help guide us to a nice 'bed and breakfast'... |

Do any of you people know what went on at these places way back in the "old days?" edit: I'll tell you, most young ladies I went out with would never have been caught at places like that.... |

My parents' HP Pavilion Desktop system, (on Win 7 x64 Home Premium), suffered a glitch in Firefox 38.05 after a power outage that we had on 6-30-2015. I ran PCMatic to see if it would fix the problem; but, it did not. I than ran MalwareBytes to see if it would fix the problem, and it would not. The problem: Upon launching FF, since the power was restored, FF refused to bring up our traditional Home Page of Yahoo. After trying everything else, I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF. Still no go. Solution/Patch: Changed Home Page from "https://www.yahoo.com" in url to "https://us.yahoo.com/?fr=fp-comodo" to trick FF into thinking it is Comodo IceDragon. THIS WORKS!!!!! :-) I launched, closed, and launched again FF 10 times, and it now brings up our Yahoo Home Page every time, and quickly. :-) I don't know what is corrupted in FF on Farragut, (the Desktop system in question), but by tricking it with the url for IceDragon, it now works flawlessly, again. I wanted to post this, in case anyone else needs this information. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

Just found that the Yahoo loading problem is NOT just getting to the Home Page... Getting into Yahoo Mail is dragging as well. So; while my fix for getting the Home Page working does work, it seems that Yahoo itself is having problems. To confirm if it was a Yahoo thing, I just launched FF on Prometheus, (my Win 7 Pro x64 system), and it too was taking forever to load the Yahoo Home Page. I put in the Comodo fix in the url, and got the Home Page right away; but, too, cannot get my tertiary mail to come up. So, in conclusion, this is now a Yahoo issue; NOT a FF issue. I will keep everyone apprised as to when Yahoo fixes the issue. (Getting anywhere else on the Net works fine... Google, Ask, whatever... Everything comes up, except Yahoo.)
