  1. This works in Firefox.

    Right click the image / Copy Image Location

    When you reply to the post, or start a new topic, click on the "IMG" button at the top, and paste it between the image tags (IMG)(/IMG).

    I use ")(" instead of "][", so it will post correctly.

    The only way I could to do it in IE, is to right click the image / Properties

    Copy the http address of the image, and use that, between the image tags.

  2. I also think it's a good idea, Nerelda. As of right now, it's not anythng I would need, because I have only one computer (Hope to remedy that problem, one day).

    But more, and more, homes are becoming multiple computer environments, and I can see, where a networking forum would be very useful. As you've said, I've noticed a lot of networking questions on other boards. We might not have any experts yet, but I'm sure that will change, as the Besttechie community grows.

    I just think, a networking forum, will help the Besttechie site become a more, full featured, well rounded message board.

    My 2 cents.

  3. A cowboy was herding cattle in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW

    advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit,

    Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses, YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the

    cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your heard, will

    you give me a calf?"

    The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully

    grazing heard and calmly answers, "Sure. Why not?"

    The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his

    AT&T cell phone, surfs to a NASA page on the internet, where he calls up a GPS

    satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he the feeds to

    another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The

    young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an

    image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.

    Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been

    processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an

    ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulas. He

    uploads all of his data via an email on his Blackberry and after a few minutes,

    receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full color, 150 page report on his

    hi-tech, miniturized HP Laser Jet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says,

    "You have exactly 1586 cows and calves."

    "That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy. He

    watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young

    man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

    Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your

    business is, will you give me back my animal?"

    The young man thinks about it for a second and then agrees.

    "You're a Democrat consultant" says the cowboy.

    "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

    "No guessing required," answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though

    nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question

    I never asked; and you don't know anything about my business. Now...give me back

    my dog."

  4. In XP:

    Right click My Computer / Properties / Advanced /

    under "Performance", click "Settings" / "Visual Effects" tab /

    scroll to the bottom and make sure there is a check in "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop / Apply / OK

    Or use a program like Iconoid.

    On the screenshot, on the Homepage, just pass your cursor over the tabs, and you'll be able to see what it does.
