I did everything but don't know how to copy the URL because I don't know what that means. Is anyone else as computerly dumb as old Jimmy? Just wondering.

at the top of any webpage is the address bar (where you'll find the www.whatever....). right click on the address and select "copy". then you can right click somewhere else and select "paste."

atskooc: Ok, I've gone as far as the copy part. Now where is the "somewhere else" I am supposed to paste it to? And what all is this accomplishing anyway, I don't see any of the previous post totals mentioned for anyone. Why am I supposed to be doing this? And regarding our profiles, what does the "neutral" mean, and what are the warnings we get and who gives them for what infraction? Are trolls allowed to bring over their old warnings? Just wondering>

Oh, and while I'm considering the profile, who determines the "reputation" and what are the categories? Dunce? Nerd? Wiseass? Jerk?

And why do the fonts on my posts look different? And how do I find the good little emoticon thingies? And how do I imbed the cool You tube stuff like Cip? Never mind about the emoticons, they just popped up out of nowhere at the bottom of this post.

Jimmy, I am way more computerly dumb than old Jimmy. I had the same question. These techies throw around lingo and I just want to cry.

post in this thread and "copy" the address of your previous profile in the post. the new software will take things from there.

pssst, atskooc...

I think jimmy's messin' with us...

I sort of spaced this since I've been doing this for a while but there is a link at the bottom of the board called "help"

It's a pretty good guide on how things work here and how to get around.

You can also access it by clicking on this link

I think you're right...I thought about that after I posted the second one. But HB was looking for how to do that, so I thought I'd leave it.

Actually I wasn't messing on this occasion. But I'm still wondering what I have accomplished. Can anyone answer my other questions now? And does technology dumbness mandate a warning?

OK, Jimmy, I'm going to take a swing at this. A "URL" is the thing that you type in to tell the computer what website you want to go to. It generally starts out with www(dot) something and generally ends with (dot)com or (dot)org or (dot)edu or sometimes (dot)ru if you're hitting up Russian porn sites. So, for example, to come here, I might type www(dot) frontierharleydavidson (dot)com. But if I typed that, I wouldn't come to this website; I'd go somewhere else. Funny thing about this internets. It's very picky. That's why they have the "www" part. It stands for "Where in the World have I Went?" which is grammatically incorrect on any number of levels, but the guy who invented the internet was better at math than English.

Now, what they want you to do is to copy the URL from your profile page. Again, the URL is that thing that tells the computer where to go to. So get to your profile page somehow. Now, take out a quill, dip it in your ink well, and carefully write out each letter or number or symbol exactly as it's written and then come here and type in what you wrote down. Or, you can click on the area at the top of the screen where you see that URL and that should highlight it. Now, type "control" and "c" at the same time to copy. Or left click and scroll down to "copy." Then, come here to post and either hit "control" and "v" or left-click and select "paste." Either way works equally well. I find that if I hand write it, I feel a sense of accomplishment when it actually takes me to the site I intended to go to rather than redirecting me to a place that will try to dump some virus onto my system.

And, speaking of computer viruses, now is probably a good time to talk about how to avoid them. The only foolproof way to avoid viruses is abstinence. Second best is computer monogamy by visiting this site and only this site. But, if you're going to mess around on a bunch of different sites, make sure to carry around some protection. Unfortunately, you can't wrap your computer in latex, so I would suggest a software program that you can download whenever you suddenly have some message flash up on your computer that says, "YOU MAY BE INFECTED! CLICK NOW FOR A FREE SCAN!" The great thing about that scan is it's free and I'm a little bit of a tightwad so that's a good thing for me.
