I changed my GW bookmark

16 years ago

I have made the Conversations page my GW homepage. Thought it was a good idea when I read it yesterday in other posts. I like the idea of all topics on one index page and if it is to be Conversations that's OK by me

Have you noticed a few changes with GW?
Q
Comments (8)
Well, what I notice as new is the option to have emails sent to you after you post to SOMEONE ELSE'S THREAD. I only saw that option when I created a thread. Now, I'm getting emails from any thread to which I post. Once I click to get the email, the option changes to: CLICK HERE if you no longer wish to receive notifications for this message. Yes, I think they are making the site more responsive to the user. Quite nice IMHO.

Trouble Changing Email for GW
Q
Comments (4)
At one time, one had to log in from the main GW page in order for one to be able to update their profile. First I'd log out and then try logging in from Main Page and then try to update your email. Also I found this from some time ago over on The Suggestion Forum. For member profile page issues: Are you missing profile information? Have you checked to make sure that all fields are complete? If you are posting to any of the exchanges, you must have a valid zip code, state and country listed, otherwise it will not allow you to post. If you receive an error message, please cut and paste the entire message into your email. If you are trying to change your email address and it will not allow you to do so, make sure you include both your old and new email address in your email and your membername.

Thank you - I may leave to deal with life's challenges. But I always come back to the table. Best cuppa tea or coffee and the most wonderful cinnamon rolls I've ever seen here. Even the occasional bus trip across North America and online party. Originally I joined in the beginning like many others here. It's harder to stay away than leave. LOL to all, Peggy

Kitchen lost in my GW bookmarks
Q

Well I was going to use some of her ideas when we were going to build, but we ended up buying instead. We will probably just do a refresh when the time comes, but there are a couple of kitchens on here I just think about from time to time and need to see them. I think her kitchen is just perfection. Do you remember Farmgirlinky's kitchen? That was amazing as well. Bayareafrancy also had some beautiful soapstone.

Me, too. Even with broadband internet, I hate having to switch back and forth, and you'd think they would show more understanding for people with slow dial-up. It is so much easier to skip over an OT than it is to have to go back and forth between Discussions and Conversations, not to mention the fact that by far the majority of the members liked things the way they were or were at least willing to put up with it.

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. With FireFox, I can have Conversations as my home page on the Internet and then right click on my Quilting forum bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab," and then I will have both pages open and can easily move back and forth between them. The original opening of them will still take time for people with dial-up, but at least, once they are open, you won't have to wait for them to open again if you need to switch back and forth.

This may be possible with the Internet Explorer browser, too, but it is so long since I used it that I don't know.

Yes, it is possible to have more than one window open in Internet Explorer. If you have IE 7 - it has the tab feature. With IE 6, you just minimize the main screen and click on your IE desktop icon to open a new window and make your selection from there. I frequently have 2 - 3 windows open on my computer at a time, with no problems.
Even tho I am on slow dial up !!!
By using this method, I see no need to change the bookmark! But that is my personal choice.

Hope this helps,

Jacke for those who are using AOL you can do it there too I just tried it I brought up the conversation page and then slid the right margin over to the left-then opened the Q Forum and slid the left margin over to the right and they both show up at the same time. What a great idea .
