      >> Is there a special reason that Espomen is not on the first list?              > So, yes, each user has to select the areas they want in [Join/Resign Message       > Areas] the first time they use the Web interface.              Hmmm... the first time I went in that way, a few years ago, I had a lot of       message areas that I'd much earlier selected from the traditional dialup       interface, they carried over. I'm pretty sure I didn't select them again...       well, 99% sure. It's been a few years.              >After the first time they do that and click [Send Changes], they won't have to       > do it on subsequent logins.              I'm still trying to understand this (there are probahbly only a few thousand       such interfaces I've learned in the past). It's hard for me to believe I       would have selected everything else, and left out my own!              Well, you give me hope that I will be able to add it. And that the directions       I already gave to the gang in i-mail will be adequeate to get them here.              > When I first tried the Web interface, I was able to 'find' the areas I wanted       > with Firefox Web Browser by pressing Ctrl+F for the 'Find' prompt.              CTRL-F from firefox! Okay, good to know. I'll have to try that.              > I typed in the message area I wanted to find on the page in that prompt. I       > clicked on the area to mark it, and then pressed the "end" key to get to the       > bottom of the list to see the [Send Changes] prompt, and clicked on that...              > The [Home] key will take you to the top of the list of echos where [Send       > Changes] is also listed, IIRC.              > Take care,       > Janis              Sounds complicated, but I'll give it a go, Once again, the mousy interface,       the one that's supposed to make it brainlessly easy for everyone, eaven       without any knowledge nor experience, is what's really making it       mind-numbingly arbitrary and absolutely non-instinctine.              Zorgu!       Rick              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1        * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)    |
