If you didn’t know it already, here is how to open an internet browser, go to the forum and search all new posts in just a double click.

Open the text file and save it to your desktop as “Ubeaut forum.htm”. Double click on “Ubeaut forum.htm” on your desktop.

Hope some of you find it helpful.:)

Right-ho Scott,

How do you add code to the link so post per page count = the # of new posts?

I have to manually add "&pp= (whatever the # of new posts is)

This is your task, should you choose to accept it. If you don't, I'll let down your basket ball! :rolleyes: ;) :D :D :D

PS. I dressed out that Myrtle you so kindly gave me on your BrisVagas visit...... BLOODY GREAT STUFF!! Thanks mate! ;) :D :cool:

Is it the same as adding a new shortcut to the desk top and when it asks for a location, type in http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/search.php?do=getnew ?

I have it in my favourites but never open it from there. I always open from email links.

Sorry, Wongo. You'll need to do better than that to get a greenie. All I get on the desktop when I double click is:
HTML
HEAD etc, etc, etc(with accompanying arrowheads that do not copy on the Forum)

etc etc (Forum prints out something different)

If you make a shortcut with this in it & then paste the shortcut to your quick launch tool bar, you can get all the posts for the whole day in one click.

This is quite true Cliff,

Except...... you end up with 4 or more pages to go through. Being such a lazy ba*tard , I'd like to see ALL new posts on one page. I have to manually add "&pp=#" (where # = total number of new posts) to the end of the link AFTER the page loads. (so I can see the # of new posts)
I understand that the max number of new posts able to be shown on ONE page is 200.

Come on you experts, what's the answer to this :confused: :confused: :confused: I hate typing!! ;) :D

I like the ?do=getdaily option 'cos I often get interupted by the telephone & sometimes it takes so long to get back to the 'newposts' option that they are no longer 'newposts'.
I work at my computer for long periods of time & I may have the woodforums window open in the background while I'm doing something else & when I come back to it, everything is 'old news'.

PS. I also have 1Gb of RAM so I tend to 'Right Click' & 'Open in New Window' heaps.
I often have 10 or 12 windows open at once. Most of them are Woodforums.:D

Now all I get is the ads that are across the top. Have relegated this to the too hard basket. Thanks for trying, Wongo.
