UToad,

does this program allow any way of saving a link to a particular post for future reference?

Having trouble getting images to link into a post lately. Is it me?

Absolutely.

There is a way but only if you search for the post.

lumberjim · 12-23-2003, 07:50 PM

no, i mean once you see a post, can you "dogear" that post for future ref, or must you remember the topic and hunt for it each time?

Undertoad · 12-23-2003, 08:00 PM

Not easily. This is your post:

The anchor tags and stuff are in the code, but that link is not generated by anything except a search. There's no link on the page you could easily drag and drop or something like that.

so i should create a word doc, copy the location, create an index by topic, then give the post a name i'd remember, etc..... that'll do, i guess. thanks, i should have thought of that.

lumberjim · 12-23-2003, 08:07 PM

ok, one more thing:

i use netscape 7.whatever. whne i right click, i can view page info which seems to give me tha last post id on that page. how do i get the specific post id for a particular post?

Undertoad · 12-23-2003, 08:27 PM

If you mouseover the "quote" button and have your settings set to let you see the URL in your status bar, you could get the post number that way.

Be a real man and download Moz 1.5

toad, is there a setting that allows email based posts? as in, when a new message comes in on a subscribed thread, you can read the message and reply to it from within your email program.

moz.....mozilla? this is a different browser? what's so manly about that? does the skin have hair on it or something? can you die it?

no, really, what does it do that's better than netscape?

Undertoad · 12-26-2003, 07:22 PM

No such feature as email-to-post.

Undertoad · 12-26-2003, 07:34 PM

Mozilla is like Netscape only continuing to be updated, and much improved with cool new features, and not containing all the spammy stuff.

Firebird is like Mozilla except it's just the browser part. If you don't need the email part, the editor part, or the chat part, just get Firebird. But know ye that Firebird is a pre-release product and doesn't come with an installer and stuff.
