Title: Lighten Up
Post by: Sandman on September 23, 2004, 12:25:49 PM

Hmmm... yeah, it's rather silly, but it's a fun read. The Onion (insert link here) has a page dedicated to the 2004 election.

http://www.theonion.com/election2004/

To use the above link, highlight the text and press CTRL-C. Then, either open a new browser window or simply use this one and paste the address into the bar above using CTRL-V.

Enjoy.


Note: It's interesting... although vBcode is disabled, the [URL] tags are still added automatically.

Or download Firefox.  Then you just highlight click "open link in new tab".

Firefox has an extension.  You highlight a url, rightclick, then select "open selected url in a new tab" (or new window) and it will open the link.

Firefox is da bomb.

Sweet, I actually got a slightly different extention called Linkification.  It just makes any non-tagged url into a link automatically.  Added mouse gestures and updated to the latest version of Firefox while I was at it...man this is nice!

You have to remove the old version.  That's why I haven't updated lately.

Pure laziness.

I wouldn't trust it to keep your bookmarks, but you can save them - should be in Documents & Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/blah blah

You'll find a bookmark.html in there...just open it up and compare it to your actual bookmarks just to make sure it's the right one.

I didn't have any problems though, just downloaded and installed the new version - and it didn't delete my bookmarks like when I updated from 0.8 to 0.9.  I didn't remove the old version before installing the new.

You need to uncheck
"Automatically parse URLs: automatically adds http:// and  around internet addresses"
below the text input area, above the rest of the options, "email notification", "disable smilies" etc.
