Parking Space?? for Links
Hi All I am a complete Novice or whatever on computers, and when either a member sends me a "Link" that would help me in building my model railway, or by chance I stumble upon a link, I was thinking ?? that it would be nice if there was a "Parking Space" for useful links, of course there may already be one and I just don't know about it.all the best Kevin

Adding a website to your favourites list is easy, although the method may vary depending on your browser choice.
I use Internet Explorer without any difficulty with this forum and to add a website to my favourites list, I simply left click on the yellow star with a green arrow icon near the top left of the screen (if you hover the curser over it, you get the friendly message 'Add to Favourites bar'), when I have the website to add on the screen.
If you use a different browser such as Firefox for example, just let us know and I'm sure someone will come along and help you.
Best wishes,
Bill
At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

To then access the link:
Firefox click the button next to the Star, which say 'Show Bookmarks'
Edge click the button with 3 bars next to the Star 'Favourites & History'
I don't and won't use Google Chrome so no idea on that, but would be something similar.

Years ago we had lots of elderly customers that did know much about the internet. A local Probus group asked for a single page where they could open up and click on where they wanted to go via links. The Portal was born of that request. The customers have fed us the pages they like over 20 years and we keep adding them. As most people are creatures of habit the Portal has stabilised at about 10,000 links.
Just click on what you wish to see or where you wish to go.
If you wish to add any links just let us know.

Make a folder and copy and paste any links you get into the folder.
Plus . . .
If you want to create a link to something you are looking at, press F6.
The URL up the top will turn blue. Right click on the blue area > Copy then > Paste it into your folder.

You may be relieved to learn that it wasn't that many years ago, that I was the same as you.
Sol and others have had to put up with a constant barrage of questions until I got it.
They still are. You should see the fun I'm having trying to connect the WiFi on my solar inverter to my iPhone!
Another good thing is that you don't need to know every thing. Well, you couldn't possibly.
All you need to do is constantly chase down those things you need to do your stuff.
Then, after a while, the chasing slows and one day - suddenly! You think to yourself, "I know the answer to that!"
You proffer the answer and the poor grateful bleeder says, "Thanks, Kevin. You are a genius!"
You blush, and humbly say, "Not at all Cholmondeley."

If in doubt or when it goes pear-shaped - that's the time to read the instructions. Which are of course sometimes unintelligible. I have a simple approach to all of this, if it's not intuitive and is full of doctorate-level technobabble "look how clever I am" screed, it's not ready for my prime-time. Most times all we want are the principles and clear instructions, we can't be experts in everything.
