Tip: to get back to previous page's dont' use the big arrow button on the left hand side use the small downwards arrow nearby and select the page that you want

Good morning!

good "find" I would have never thought of drag and dropping there, there is a web page somewhere that I came across ages ago and when you visit it it tells you what is being transmitted when you click on a web page

i will try and find it later on and post back here don't have much time at the mo as i'm of to the dreaded dentist for a filling

I have my uses

Thanks for 'trialling' the referral 'thingy', nice to know that appears okay too. It is a pain that it opens in the same window, especially when you have a memory like mine and the comp has more than one answer to it, I had to keep going back to check, so now I have 2 MSE tabs that I use at the same time to save me doing that.

Thanks for all of your hard work with this [STRIKE]Sherlock[/STRIKE] Amilucky

I was saying in FF if you drag to the top it DOES open a new tab

It doesn't for me, I may have changed one of the default settings! in FF's about:config

I have the same problem in FF but in FF you can download and use the Split Panel add-on to overcome the problem (if like me when you drag and drop it doesn't open in a new tab)

when I get a bit of time I will try and find a solution to the problem (i'm sure it will be quiet simple to solve and just a matter of ticking the right boxes in IE's settings

thanks for the tips, think have got things worked out now....except for it keeps logging me out of sites when I shut the internet pages - in IE I have a favourite for Facebook and I am always logged in when I click on it, whether I have just switched the computer on or been off the internet or whatever but I always seem to have to put my email/password in?

Isn't that a good thing

The above is what makes FF a more secure browser

In FF you can select Tools-Options-Security-Passwords "Remember passwords for sites" and make it even more secure by selecting "Use a master password"

hope this helps!
