Who is this low-life Chris from ECS that just comes along and hijacks Charlene's thread. Have you no shame man?? (Try using a knuckle on the gas door. No greasy fingerprints and it will latch perfectly every time.

Now...will a moderator please take Charlene's concern seriously and move this thread to the Technical Section where a few of the forum's elite computer geeks can address it properly and with the respect it deserves...please!!

I hope someone can figure this out for you Charlene as I know how important it is to your ability to enjoy yourself while on this site. All those other posters are jerks for making fun of you.

Good luck.

Chris from ECS isn't a man, therefore no shame.

I don't think how many fingers you use will make a difference. Gently push until it shuts.

No idea about the smilie faces sorry.

Yeah you guys geez, what's the matter with you people. There is a legitimate question being asked and all you can do is mock! Have you no shame. I hope that your mothers are very proud of you. Is this how you act in public. You all should be flogged in public, lashed 10 times and be banned from this forum for the rest of you pathetic natural lives.

BTW is it snowing where you guys are at, it's comming down pretty hard here, time to get the ol' 89 Merc Grand Marquis out.

The Monk!

PS. Lighten up Francis.
