I 'Right Click' when I am on the page that I want to send and in the drop down menu I click on "Send Link By Email".

If that option doesn't show when you right click, I can tell you how to put it in the menu.

1. No, not after submitted, but you can preview and double check it before you submit it. But if you really need to add something to your original post right after it is submitted just Post a Follow up. Change the wording in the Subject box so it doesn't get rejected as a duplicate post. 2. No, only the OP can choose to get reply email. 3. Yes, just click on "My Page" link after your name in any post or on "Member Pages" link at the bottom of any page to go to your personal page and once there click on See My Clippings. Dave

Because the Veggie Forum is quite a fast moving forum, it is possible that someone, member or nonmember brought up your post via Google and replied to it, even though your post is no longer viewable on the 67 pages of posts there. Once a thread has dropped off of page 67, it will never be brought back up on page one with any new replies. The thread is just out there is cyberspace, and there isn't really anything that can be done about it, imho. A Google search of your member name and the subject line would likely find the thread, if you are curious to see if what I'm thinking has happened, really happened. The oldest 'replies' to threads at Veggies is Aug, 2010. Here is a link that might be useful: For example...a 3 year old thread from the Kitchen Table Forum

How do manufacturers sell anything sight unseen?

Crouch, I can talk to Jack Glasheen and Jimmy Moore to see if they will partner up with you to invest in that (grin)! In all seriousness, the return on investment would be poor especially if there were no sales done in the building. A suitable building to house even half the H&M frames in a commercial area would cost on the order of $ 100K per month to run. I would seriously doubt it would generate an increase in sales overall that would cover the cost of operation. Plus, it would have to be staffed with knowledgeable personnel to have any impact at all - and those folks are not easy to find. H&M would then say, "If we're paying for the building, all the inventory, and staffing it, why do we need dealers?" And indeed, many operations have tried to have both manufacturing and operate the retail store with the end result they usually do neither particularly well. These showrooms DO exist on a trade level. Of course there is the Furniture Market in High Point where they install about 250 frames for 10 days, twice a year. These showrooms are then sold off at a discount in their entirety after each market and resupplied before the next one. Then there are the Designer Showrooms, where certain product is showcased though hardly the entire line. What you propose is really a massive retail store, and I would be terrified to attempt something like that as a long-term businessman. Virtually EVERY furniture store than has tried large expansion has failed (or are failing, look at Boyles for example). I think it would be a novel concept, but the cost to develop it would most likely not yield the sales, especially in today's internet marketplace when customer loyalty is questionable at best. Guess wrong on the anticipated increase in sales and you're bankrupt in short order. I have only 5,000 s.f. in my store, but have (33) Hancock and Moore pieces, (5) Leathercraft, (4) Bradington-Young as of today. Of course this makes the L/C and B/Y reps complain about the lack of floor space, but the truth of the matter is I do 10x the sales in H&M than the other brands and they have more aggressive marketing promotions / product mix / samples, so they get the floor space. What you are going to see in reality is LESS product floored in more stores than in years past. The reason for that is not only the cost of the inventory (there is no "floor planning" in the furniture industry as there is in the automotive field), but the very real fact that the majority of customers come into their brick and mortar store, spend hours in there gathering information, then buy from the lowest seller on the internet. Even if they asked to price match the low guy to get the sale, the margin is destroyed. No margin means no profitability, and thats why stores are closing up left and right. There is no incentive for ANY retailer to bulk up on stock when customers are using them as an informational showroom and buying elsewhere. -Duane...

Yes...I had trouble back in my earlier days on GW and despite my reporting the offender to Spike, the unsolicited, nasty ems and stalking persisted for a long time...even though the offender was banned from that particular forum. Thus, I gave up posting in the GW forum that I attended on a daily basis and permanently blocked my em address from all GW member contact. It was a rather unnerving experience. It spoiled my participation to the point that I left GW altogether for a few years. Today, I've found that if I'd like to privately communicate with a particular KT member they usually have published their em address and I use their contact info...making sure that I put the fact that I'm a KT member in the subject line of the email in the event that they may not want to make personal contact outside of the KT forum. Then, if they accept my em, they have my em address from my communication...and we can go forward from there. I'm pretty "seasoned" when it comes to computers so my experience was not from lack of computer knowledge/protocol. I later learned that the offender had a reputation for this type of behavior but that didn't lessen the bad taste the whole experience left in my mouth. Today I err on the side of caution. Anne

Unless I just am overlooking it I don't see what e-mail you are using.

My Thunderbird, like most other on-board clients, lets me just right click on the page and select "Send Link" from the drop down menu. Thunderbird will then appear with the link in the body and only requiring me to address the e-mail.

An on-line e-mail account would require the copy and paste as previously advised.

In firefox, click on "Tools" and in the drop down click on "Options".

You will see .. Default Font: and "Times New Roman" in a box.

To the right of that box you will see SIZE and a number.

Click on that little box and a drop down will come up that allows you to pick the font size.

60 is REALLY BIG! LOL

Other than that, why not hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouses scroll wheel to make the letters bigger or smaller?

Download the NoSquint Add-on for Firefox. It takes about 30 seconds to download and install. It will give you all the control you want over size of type and size of pictures. You'll end up with a plus and minus button added to your browser bar, and that's it. This add-on will also remember the various size settings you choose for different sites you visit; this means the pages will automatically adjust to whatever you previously chose for each of them so you don't have to readjust them each time you visit a site.

Instead of 'nosquint', why doesn't holding down the Ctrl key and using the mouse scroll wheel do the same?

I thought that this was standard on all OS's?

Why not increase the font size in tools like I suggested?

Just curious as to why you need to add software to do the same thing?

With NoSquint you can zoom the whole page or just the text size. You can also change text and link and background colors and other thing.

Glad you tried NoSquint and it worked for you. Even people with near perfect eyesight have problems with some badly designed web sites. For those of us who aren't 20 anymore, this little, simple add-on is great.
