(off topic) Book Marks on SI If got a "communicator" feature, here is a how-to from Paunch. A how to do Book Marks is gotten by clicking on the post that this is a reply to. For those that do not have whatever that communicator thing is, you might have what I use, and that being whatever AOL uses. I have not loaded any more software on top/under/over whatever AOL supplied. If you do have AOL like me, and had my trouble doing BookMarks, then I finally figured it out. Seems like I was trying to change a tire on my car at the same time I was driving the car, type of mistake. What I did was as follows: Click on view bookmarks, to be taken to the page on SI that is like a home page for bookmarks, a page that stores the bookmarks. I saw that I had some there, eventho I got confused trying to use them. I clicked on the delete bookmark button for all there, so now there was none listed. I went to a thread and read the new ones, or at least, the last one. On this last thread post, I clicked on BookMark, and eventho I really didn't ask, SI took me to the place bookmarks are stored. At this point the thread name is listed as being bookmarked. But after the thread name is no number, where a number means new posts added to the last post. If a number is after the thread name, click on the number will take you to the first new post. But if you click on the threadname, you go to the top of LAST 7 DAYS. Some of my confusion was that for example I'am going to read the old posts of GPGI now, and start where I stopped at the time ipm=chapter 11. So I got over 100 to read, and will read about 50 now. So I wanted to leave a BookMark on the last one I read. I don't care about new ones. But seems like bookmarks point to new posts since declaring a bookmark. Maby you don't even have to be reading the last post. Like I'am reading a real book thats in the progress of being writen by an author. The author has not completed it yet, but gave me what has been written, and as new pages are done, they are placed at the end of the book I am reading. Author gives me new pages faster than I can read them, so I'am never waiting. I got a bunch of pages already done, but I can't leave a book marker on the last page I read, only the last page the author gave me. So, my old method of either pencil the post number, or on AOL do a copy of the http address and paste it in an favorites places location. Doug
