AlanHo Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I used to have a desktop icon which took me directly to the new posts section of the Forum. But now it doesn't work.If I go to "View New Posts" via the Forum access button and copy the resulting URL to a desktop shortcut - it works fine all that day. However, the next day it will not work and I get an error message.Is there a way of providing a permanent desktop shortcut.Thick aint I ?

nellie2 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'm afraid I don't have an answer for this AlanHo, I've always just clicked on the link. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Have you tried right clicking (View new posts), add to favourites, then right click the favourites entry and send a shortcut to the desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Thanks alan2273 - your method has worked fine.I was previously opening the View New Posts link - then copying the URL from the address box into a desktop shortcut. This only works for a few hours but your method has worked for a few days now.Problem now RESOLVED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
