My Favorites File is Full!!
« on: Saturday 22 January 05 18:09 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,

There have been so many sites I have seen listed by Rootschatters - I keep going to them - thinking that looks good - must make a note of that - put it into my Favorites list under Family History - will visit it again shortly - go back to our main site - find another one - great new site - How to date old photos - put that in my Favorites - this is a vicious circle - how can I stop! Grin Grin

Thanks to everyone - keep those sites coming - I will make a "Page 2" now!!

Cheers

Keith

Hi Keith,

Yes, this is a problem !  In fact, it is one of the reasons I made a "home page" out of my favourites  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,29556.0.html

I can now sort them into categories and add some relevant (for me) comments to each link.

But that is only the technical side of it !

The biggest problem, is that there are so many links, and they all look so interesting, and there are only so many hours in a day, and there are more links coming all the time, and they all look so interesting, and there are only so many hours in a day, ... and there are more links coming all the time,and they all look so interesting, and there are only so many hours in a day, ... and there are more links coming all the time,and they all look so interesting, ... and there are only so many hours in a day, and there are more links coming all the time, etc, etc

But, as you say,

 Grin One of the advantages of a browser which uses tabbed windows .... you can set up as many "homepages" as you want and they are all there when you start it up.

Now all I need is one of those widescreen monitors  Roll Eyes

I agree this can be a major problem.  I use a mix of browser html pages and Favourites. 

However, whatever you use, I would suggest backing them up to disk (if you have a CDRW) or floppy since it represents a lot of work and if you have a problem with your PC all this work can be lost.

Just a thought ...

another important consideration is the number of emails you have in total in all folders. ie Inbox and Sent etc
Outlook express has a default limit ( which I reached before Xmas) at which point Outlook Express will refuse to load at all.
This will mean no access to emails. You will also then be unable to open outlook to either backup and retrieve emails or actually delete some of your offending emails to get Outlook going again.

A catch22 situation if ever there is one. No easy solution to this Shocked Huh
