I have Windows ME and use Internet Explorer 6. The address bar at the top of my page only shows the address for Wordsmith, so that doesn't work for this purpose. I have another bar at the bottom of the site screen that shows the info only as it is connecting and that is where the information shows when I position my cursor over the reply or edit button. When the address shows up, it is truncated and doesn't show much beyond the post #. As far as settings or preferences, where exactly am I looking for these? I have checked all the pull-down menus on my toolbar and there are none here by that name. Thanks for the techie info, guys. Help me figure this out. Many thanks to Ron (not-so)Obvious  That was it exactly! Thanks, too, to Of Troy.

Big congrats, MG!  But I think you'll find that you stay addicted to "addict" for waayyyy too long. It seemed like it took me forever to get to "old hand". But, then, I wasn't sure whether I disliked the addict in "addict" or the old in "old hand" more!  And, bein' a guitarist, I ain't sure I'm lookin' forward to Carpal Tunnel either! Think I'll just bask in my neutral Pooh-Bah-hood for as long as I can!

bein' a guitarist, I ain't sure I'm lookin' forward to Carpal Tunnel either! Me too, WO'N  - just acoustic, but both rhythm and picked. Howsabout a quick straw poll to see how many word-lovers are also guitarists? Results could be interesting. Maybe calls for a new thread, assessing musical abilities of the Board in general.

well if you limit it to guitarist, it will be at least three, but if you open to musicial skills, it goes up greatly..
and if you include vocals, it well of over half the posters i know and love!
and there there are people like me.. tone deaf, and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!

actually i don't like beer or guinness, I prefer hard cider. or better yet, spirit!
and none of this stuff of mixing good alcohol with fruit juice, or soda.. if you want a mixed drink, mix alcohol with alcohol! a rob roy, (scotch and vermouth) or black russian (vodka and Kaula)--none of the cream, thank you!

Race you to the next grade, MG. Veteran, is it?I don't know, since Max Q took down 'is 'elpful 'ints.  Not fair! you is way ahead of me already! but if you slows down to inchworm speed, I might catch up.... AAUGH! CONNIE'S RIGHT! AMEN, SISTER! (and also, I have to say it, ahhhhh, men!) I do find myself telling other people in my life all about dis place. They are going to have me committed, I have no doubt! Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

Hey Helen, I cain't sing either - but that doesn't ever stop me! (much to the regret of the assembled company, whenever I join in....! except my mother, God bless her and all who sail in her, who says she just likes to hear me happy. Now that's the right approach, I reckon!)
Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

I don't know, since Max Q took down 'is 'elpful 'ints.Nah, it's old-hand. 800 posts should see you past the post. But steady on, you two. It's quality and not quantity that counts here! Congrats, ModGod. You're fairly flying your way up the posting ladder. And you're only a handful of posts behing me and I've been here over two years! Keep up the good work!
