I have a strange looking forum screen, all text and no graphics. I can't get on to any threads apart from this reply?

Any ideas what's going on please? It's the same on both of our Macs

I was using Firefox Patrick and it looked very strange, but on your idea I tried Safari and it looks OK. Not the browser I normally use and all of the other forums are fine on Firefox? Keeps us on our toes though init!!?

Still an unusual warn type of welcome though me-thinks :Oops::Oops:

Hello to everybody,

This is Papalapa from Catalonia. I restored two old Macs (an iMac A1195 2006 year and a Macintosh LCII) and after hours working on it finally they run MacOS 7.5 and MacOS Snow Leopard respectivelly. As this is my first approach to the Mac wordl there's some things that I do not (sorry to has been a Windowser since MS-DOS 3.30 O:)) and I found this forum where I'm sure that I will learn those things that I do not know.

A warm welcome from me too.

Never forget that the only silly question is the one you don't ask. Macs are different and even birds have to learn to fly, so ask away. Someone here will know the answer, even me a couple of times:Confused::Confused:

Welcome to Mac-Forums Papalapa. Sounds like some pretty awesome projects you did there!:)

Now that you've worked with some older Apple models...if you really want to get the best Apple experience possible...get yourself something newer (at least 2012) running a much newer OS version.:)

Welcome to our Forums, Chips. There's lots to learn from following the questions posed by others.

And, of course, we welcome questions from you, simple or complex.

Hi... not my first visit here but I have now registered and thought I'd pop in and introduce myself.

Based in the UK, I'm a long term Windows user, converted over to Mac (for home use anyway).

About a year ago I got an iMac 27... loved it, so got rid of my Windows laptops, PC.. etc.. and now have the iMac, a Mini as a Plex server and a MacBook Air 13". Oh, and an iPhone X too, but I've had iPhones since the first one came out :)

Hello everyone.

Steven, 42 years old here, from Belgium (flemish part), long time owner of various iPhones, iPads and iMac.

I was always a PC gamer and only just (again after 4 years) decided to get back in to my total war collection and started playing Medieval 2.

But I also wanted to do a cheat session on that game but I can't seeing that i should use the "tilde" key which isn't on my keyboard.

Where on these forums can I get some help on this?

Thank you.

A warm welcome to Mac-Forums, Purefun.

We are friendly, and try to help in any way way we can. You can glean a lot from following the posts and, of course, you can ask your own question.

I know nothing about gaming, but the tilde key on a Mac keyboard is to be found second row from bottom, above the "Control" key and accessed by Shift + ~.
