Thank you Paul, for doing all that work!
The links are fabulous! I would only make one tiny suggestion. Using hyperlinks conceals the website location you are recommending. I myself prefer seeing that real link addy before clicking on them. It is a safety thing for me. I know it would be "WORK" to put the real links under each title. But perhaps more people would feel comfortable seeing those as well? Contributions such as yours, are always welcome on any of my threads. We all learn from each other in the end!

Hello mrsd,
You asked about knowing the hyperlink destination before selecting it: Quote:

By the way, it is possible to trick someone with a fake link. Try this one: Here is the link to Rose's web site: http://roseannster.googlepages.com/home No, actually, it isn't. Here is the real one: http://roseannster.googlepages.com/home Nasty trick! This is possible because links are added separately in the editor for this forum. If in doubt, check the URL using the method that I have described. Paul |

does not work in Firefox.
The net being what it is, I also am thinking of others, that's all. It is actually more work for you to create a hyperlink.

just a comment on the links:
we dont mind hyperlinks *provided* that they do not lead to commercial or affiliate sites. I do know that many people do feel nervous to click on hyperlinks, especially those who may not be all that computer savvy and so not understand how to set preferences etc etc, Paul, I am unable to see any URLs when hovvering on those hyperlinks on either IE or Firefox, but I do know that a right click on the mouse and then checking properties can also show the actual URL if one is concerned I think the important thing is usually who is posting the links.......when the member has been active a while, and has shown their *colors* ...... one usually feels less concerned as to where their links may lead thanks for providing all this good info on EFAs. Omega3 is an essential component for my son both for his Tourette Syndrome and especially for his Crohn's Disease Cheri

the explanation about hovering and the status bar {at the bottom of your browser/screen- the very thin bar that is there- if you have it set to show}
does work for me in FF - you can read the URL down there.

it depends on the version/skin one is using in FF.
Mine won't click the status bar... nothing changes when I try it. I have a theme called Yellow button (something like that). It is very simple. This is it... orbit yellow... I am going to try and update it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2562 I went to the customize section and there were buttons that could be added, but no status bar there. We have customized links at the top to NYTimes and a couple of others. here is a quote from Firefox: Quote:
I fiddled around a bit, by clicking it more than once and finally got the bar to work. It just is not obvious like one would expect. Everything is such a battle with computers....we have been having a running battle with our printer which is now going to get replaced. I guess 3 yrs is it for those. We bought a new one yesterday, and my husband is struggling again with the fax hook up.... sorry to be dense.

I just want to say that I think this is an AMAZING thread...so informative. You all have taught me things I didn't know existed let alone thought to research and understand.
