I find if you forget something important and want to correct it after you responded You have to change the wording in the ("Subject of Posting" block) or it won't let your post again unless somebody else posts between your preivous post.

ilima The most important thing to make sure you turn up on google, after making sure your homepage has the right search words in the opening text, is to get your site address referenced on as many other webpages as possible - directory listings, private webpages etc. Often its a case of contacting the site webmasters and proposing an exchange of links. To get a google spider to visit and catalogue your website click on 'about google' on their homepage then add URL. You only ever need do this once.

Terry - that was great - thanks. It completely did what I wanted to achieve. I can easily see if I've gotten new email on my other account without switching software, etc Now a new problem occurred yesterday - before I made those changes - and I have no idea what I may have done to cause it. probably something I did in experimenting with all these different email issues. I had my firefox set up to send links in emails (from my AOL address). But now I'm trying to send my mother a link (for the emergency microsoft update from 2 days ago) - and when I'm in Firefox (and the computer forum thread is open - or any web page is open) - and I go to File - then click send link - it brings up an email form (with my screen name in AOL as the sender - so that party's working) - but a whole mishigosh of info (the link info, perhaps) appears in the space where I should be entering the email address I'm sending it to. I have no idea why that is happening. If I cut and paste that info into the body of the email - and send it to myself to test it - it doesn't appear to be a link to get me to the webpage I want). Seems to me that the webpage link should be referred to in the subject line - and supplied in the body of the email - not some mess of information occuring in the send to line. I tried going to FF tools - applications- and mail to . I have several options to choose from - use AOL software (this appears twice - once with the AOL triangle with "default" in parentheses and once with what looks like a mail page form), and once it says use AOL mail. I think I've tried all three and it still doesn't work. And before I started trying to change my email settings this week, I think there was only 1 or 2 AOL options for mail application in Firefox. Okay - so now I checked all three. On use AOL mail, it gives me the gibberish (somehow related to the webpage I'm trying to send a link for) in the to: line. If I choose use AOL software (default) - with the mail form logo - it goes to AOL software - sets up the email correctly with the information about the link in the subject line - and the to: field blank for me to fill in the recipient. But it wants me to sign on or the send button is faded and I can't click it. If I choose use AOL software (with the AOL logo - not the email logo), it takes me to the AOL software page and says this file may not be supported by AOL. AOL will try to send it as a text file (and if I choose to try, it will tell me the file is too big). So I do I email somebody links? Thanks. Lynn.

Well, I tried to use the old user id and password but it would not display anything but a page with a create account button. I entered responses to the create account questions and I must have typoed something but it did not let me complete the process. When I finally was able to get past the error, it sent a code to my email address and after I entered it back, it now wants me to login elsewhere to "sync". Where did that come from??? All I needed was access to the support forum.... sigh... Richard, why would Firefox be deleting the cookies? I have not requested that on purpose but, you never know what will an upgrade change. Ok, I looked and found that there is a check mark saying to delete all cookies when some permanent private browsing mode blah blah is set. It will not let me uncheck it. No idea what that mode is talking about but it seems related to the problem.... Any idea how to change this "mode"? The section titled "logins and passwords", the first line has no check mark beside "ask to save logins..." but the ones underneath have check marks. I cannot override them when I try to uncheck.
