Default Links to References for EFA

Here are some links to references for EFA; if you click on the link, it will take you to the document.

If you would like to see where the link is taking you, before selecting it, roll the mouse cursor over the hyperlink; you should then be able to see the URL of the link. In Internet Explorer and Firefox, it is shown on the left of the Status Bar, immediately above the Start button on the bottom of the window. If the Status Bar is not visible, left click on View on the top toolbar. Look for a tick next to Status Bar, to show that it is visible. If it is not ticked, left click on Status Bar. Each time you do this, you toggle the Status Bar on or off. For security, to know the true destination of links, I suggest that you leave the Status Bar visible at all times.

Some documents are in pdf format; others are HTML, which often uses larger text and is easier to read. In some cases, for example AJCN articles, you have the option to download the document in pdf format; check the options on the page.

Some of these references are fairly complex scientific articles; others are easier to read. This selection of references is slightly biased, reflecting my particular interest in EFA and vegetarianism.

Thumbs up Wonderful...

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!

Default Links to References for EFA

Hello mrsd,

You asked about knowing the hyperlink destination before selecting it:

Quote:

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?
I have added some information on previewing the hyperlink, near the start of my references post:

Quote:
If you would like to see where the link is taking you, before selecting it, place the mouse cursor over the hyperlink; you should then be able to see the URL of the link. In Internet Explorer 6, it is shown in the bar immediately above the Start button, on the bottom left of the window.
By viewing the hyperlink that way, you can see the true link URL.

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

Red face cursoring over...

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.

Hello mrsd,

Quote:

I installed Firefox to find out; it has a Status Bar very similar to Explorer. Any Internet program would need to have one, for security reasons;you might not have it visible. It is far safer to use the Status Bar, than to rely on the truth about what is purported to be the destination of a link. As I demonstrated in my previous message, the writer can put in any link that they like.

I have added to my previous advice in my references post, to show how to view the status bar:

Quote:
If you would like to see where the link is taking you, before selecting it, roll the mouse cursor over the hyperlink; you should then be able to see the URL of the link. In Internet Explorer and Firefox, it is shown on the left of the Status Bar, immediately above the Start button on the bottom of the window. If the Status Bar is not visible, left click on View on the top toolbar. Look for a tick next to Status Bar, to show that it is visible. If it is not ticked, left click on Status Bar. Each time you do this, you toggle the Status Bar on or off. For security, to know the true destination of links, I suggest that you leave the Status Bar visible at all times.
Please send me a private message if you need any help with this, so that we do not distract from the important purpose of your thread.

Paul

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

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.

Default I guess

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:
*KNOWN BUGS I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX UNTIL NOW*
- Check marks not visible in menu, on Windows only (I really don't know why)
- Tabs order changes when switching from one tab to another in some windows (very strange behaviour)
This is why I can't see a check mark.
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.

Yes, that's how I've always done it. Just right click, select properties, and the complete address is shown.
