The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    OK, I copied your link of you tube to my Favorites, and now it works for me, thanks.

    Sweet. All you have to do is copy the embed code from the video you're watching (see attachment).

    Yes, I was doing that, but it just would not embed for some reason? It's working fine now.

    HTML code is off in the Political forum, so you can't embed videos there (I see you tried to).

    I don't know of a tutorial on all the forum stuff, though it would be nice. Every so often even I discover a new feature - or that this forum doesn't support one that others do. Double-quotes actually took a really long time for me to figure out. What you have to do is click "Multi-Quote" on each of the posts you wish to quote (they can be over multiple pages, or even threads), and then click "Quote" on the last one you wish to quote. And - tada! - it'll be all ready and multiquoted!

    I'm not sure how convenient Google Toolbar is, but several recent browsers include automatic spell-checking that is turned on by default. Firefox and Opera 10 Alpha both have it enabled by default. Of those, Firefox probably is the better choice if you aren't confident about not getting viruses/worms/etc., as alpha software may have a few security holes.
