My Throbber's Broken
How Can I Fix It?
Thursday, October 27, 2005 by Bichur | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I had/have Webblinds. Had it for a couple of years. I liked the little spinning SD Cube. Been using FF for quite a while now, so hadn't paid that much attention to IE. Was reading some comments and somebody mentioned a throbber on a skin and now I can't figure out how to get the throbber in the skins to work. I've set Webblinds to the default throbber. I uninstalled Webblinds. All I get is the ugly black rectangle. Doesn't matter which skin so far (I have quite a list to try).
How can I fix this?

Mine is too. I used an Airhorn once.. Worked out pretty well. 
Try uninstalling and deleting the directories. Rebooting and installing everything again and applying the skins?.. Maybe that would do the trick?

Well I decided to refrain from tweaking it, to see it that will help. nope
TweakUI now uninstalled.
Thanks to everyone so far that's looked at my throbber and not said mean things. Kinda helps make the shame go away.
A support group for broken throbbers?
I can see it now. People sitting around going: "You should have seen my Throbber. You had to take notice, I mean it was visible. Used to be a time I could make it do anything. Change colors, spin, swing back and forth, shrink and grow, pulsate, anything. People used to crowd around my cubicle just for a glimpse."
Guess I'll play with it some more.

Okay....be sure to make an appointment with the optometrist, then. Prolonged play can be a detriment to your sight, so we're told

When you see the words 'Bichur' and 'throbber' together, you assume the worst...

That depends on your views, I guess
Personally, I think all internet users should take the time to respectfully get acquainted with their throbber.
