I didn't take the time to read everyone's comments, so maybe this is repetition, but what I would like is somewhere to store links to the various threads on which I have received useful information.  Sometimes I lose them, and can't find them again, or forget they were there.  I'm so eager to read them, and then they vanish from my sight, and it sometimes takes forever to find them again, or not at all.

P.S.  I will happily turn off the notification system, if I can figure out how.  If I fail, please feel free to shut it off for me!

Hi Trystan

Nice to hear from you again!  Thanks for the update and I hope the server feels better soon!  :D

It is nice to know it's not my computer also.

Set up a special folder in your browser favorites, and save them inthere.  That's what I've done for those scholarly explanations of the IGI and other wonderful snippets.

In your profile, go to "Notifications and e-mail".  Uncheck the second and third boxes at the top of the page.  This will stop any new notifications coming to you by e-mail.

Hi Gadget

Question - If we as restorers go into our old restores and make them smaller (after the poster has downloaded) how far back should we go?  I am happy to make my restores little but I would like to know how far back to go, will the very old ones make a difference or is it only the ones being downloaded now that are of concern?  Sorry to be a dill, but I have no idea about servers and space etc.

Let me know and I will happily comply

Cheers

It was just an idea on a thread that Glen posted a while ago, Lones. Nothing definite was decided but I would offer 12 weeks (as ToT board) but I think it would have to be discussed further.

We could either make them smaller dimension wise, or do jpg compresssions.

Any comments advice from Trystan/Mods?
