Donde Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Help, I'm self taught on computers, and I did not have a good teacher. ?How do I bookmark a page, and will that do what I think it will (let me quick and easily check latest on a thread I'm interested in)? I'll bookmark this page. Dave
dingy Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 You can bookmark in your browser. I am on Firefox and it is the first toolbar down. In Explorer its "Add to Favorites" Or you can right click in the page towards the top and get a menu that has "Bookmark this page." Explorer has the same right click feature "Add to favorites" Gary
Donde Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 Thank you I'll check that out. I'm using Google, and Internet Explorer on a HP with Vista. Q. 2. Should I dump Vista for W7? Q. 3. Should I dump Google, and Internet Explorer for Fire Fox or something else????
SilvrT Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Thank you I'll check that out. I'm using Google, and Internet Explorer on a HP with Vista. Q. 2. Should I dump Vista for W7? Q. 3. Should I dump Google, and Internet Explorer for Fire Fox or something else???? I would definately go to W7 instead of Vista Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera, Maxthon .... they all have their respective "good and bad" ... personally I have been using Maxthon for appx 10 yrs. I've tested all the others and have not seen anything that entices me to change. This will probably become your own decision ~after~ you have tried some of them out.

hig4s Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 That Sir, is a whole nother can of worms I am still very happy with XP. At least as happy as one can be with microsoft. Firefox is very nice. Gary Well, let's see!! On my desktop I still have Windows 2000 pro, on my laptop I have XP, on the wife's desktop is Vista, and sitting on top of my wife's computer is the free upgrade disk for Windows 7 that came with the machine. Haven't gotten around to loading it yet. Anyway on all of them, I have both firefox and IE setup.. I find that most times I use firefox, but there are some sites that just work better with IE.

Squeeze Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 It is best, that when someone has nothing intelligent to say... that they say nothing ... (hmmmm... not sure if this was intelligent or not... maybe I should have said nothing... ) Now, that's a serious Cause of fishin' for Compliments ... :crackup:
Dave77459 Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Help, I'm self taught on computers, and I did not have a good teacher. ?How do I bookmark a page, and will that do what I think it will (let me quick and easily check latest on a thread I'm interested in)? On this site, this is what I like to do. First I subscribe to the thread, using the drop down above the page: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2687/4194777993_fb45ceb909.jpg I usually choose instant email -- it sends me an alert when someone replies! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/4194778091_6a755b930e_o.png When I visit here, I can go to my User CP... via the left margin: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4195535728_70a3ab2daa_o.png I can see right away if there is something new that I want to see! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2706/4194778327_1641755f52_o.png If I click to see my subscriptions, it is like a handy set of bookmarks for this site. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2655/4194778371_8b0931cf5a.jpg Anyways, that's what I do. It might work for you too. Dave
Donde Posted December 18, 2009 Author Posted December 18, 2009 Not to worry donde .... I'm self-taught too... and I became the teacher You must have had a better teacher and better student than I did, when I was self teaching myself.
