show that little box in the lower left hand of the screen in which the web address is displayed when you roll over a link in IE?
i do miss it so. thanks
-
View > Status Bar
(ALT+V, B)
-
hey thanks!
and such prompt service!!
-
What I would like to know is how you set it up so that you have the status bar every time you open IE, and not have to call it back up.
-
It should always show back up once you check it. I've never had it NOT show up.
However, if you want to ensure this, you can open Windows Explorer, select:
Tools > Folder Options... > View > Advanced Settings
and then check "Remember each folder's view settings."
Then click the "Apply to All Folders" button above that (since IE is just a special kind of Explorer folder).
Click Apply below.
Then OK.
Done.

If you want to be even more sure that you're never without a status bar, go here (http://mozilla.org/).

You could still inadvertantly disable it via the View menu.

As much as i would like to use one of the "alternative" browsers, I'm afraid the Internet will be all: "What the HELL you DOUCHE BAG, this is NOT a Microsoft product, who the FUCK do you think you are, y'all better get back to usin' IE or I ain't letting you surf JACK SHIT. You are HELL OF PATHETIC."
that's what the Internet would say to me.
-
No no no the internet is all about giving discerning geeks mad cred for alternative browsers. For serious; it is the only way to be truly R.A.D.

I wish. Yesterday my SO couldn't get to the H&M site. It redirected to a page that said "we only support IE 4.0+" It wouldn't display anything at all. Now only supporting IE is sad enough but then saying you go all the way back to V 4? That's nuts.
I hate places that instead of writing web pages write Internet Explorer Documents.
-
I think the "+" means "or greater."
Anyway, when buymusic.com opened it only worked in IE. It still does. Go to:
http://buymusic.com
in Mozilla and you'll be greeted with this message:
Thank you for visiting BuyMusic.com.
In order to take full advantage of BuyMusic.com's offerings you must be on a Windows Operating System using Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher.
Unbelieveable.
It prompted this parody site:
http://www.dontbuymusic.com/
Which of course works in Mozilla.

and this is exactly what i'm trying to tell you about
-
Egad. Never before had I come across such a phenomenon.
-

That's my point. If the site is compatible with something as old as IE 4.0 then what's keeping it from running in FireFox? I think they just threw up the intercept/warn page so they would've even have to bother testing anything else.
-
I have run across a few sites by fucktards who refuse to code for Mozilla users -- the ones that piss me off most are those that specify IE or Netscape, for heaven's sake -- but when I come across one of those I just launch an IE window and move on. But I'd say 95% of my web app using is done with MoZo.
I was a reluctant convert, but I'm glad I switched. IE is just frighteningly buggy by comparison.

I had the same problem with missing status bars in IE on XP, but this fixed it for me.

-
Except for the registry entry, this is pretty much exactly what I posted above.
Damn internet.
-
But the registry entry is key. That's my exact problem--I can turn on the status bar, but if I open a new window, ain't no status bar in it. I'll try the registry thing tonight.

Awesome, this is the 19th reply to this query and the question was answered with the very first response.

Topic drift is a good thing.

Eh. It's still OT. I'm forgiving of drift and generally ADD in topics. Also, hot oily monkey sex.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the Google text ads popped up with "Wild For Wildlife?" as I was reading this post.

Does anybody else like cheese? I like Swiss.

While reading the thing about Superman being thuggush and the comic it was advertising comic book shopping to me, which was nice.
Now however it's trying to hock fuck*ng Messenger at me.

Hey! I'm watching you. You're just lucky you pick cheese and not a less sacred topic.

The problem with this board is that I have to read every single freaking thread, no matter how uninteresting the topic, because there's no predicting when and where youall will start getting funny.

GI Joe taught me that knowing is half the battle. Later in life, when I was

I love a parade... No, wait, I'm thinking of an orgasm.
I guess I confused the two because both usually involve trained animals.

What if you put a puppet's arm up his own ass? Could he control himself
then? What sort of metaphysical possibilities would this entail?
This and more on Philosophy of Puppetry, airing every other Wednesday at 6 p.m. on some television some where. (madmazurk)
I dumped my girlfriend yesterday. The only problem I foresee is the
possibility of the body resurfacing. (Just Brian)
I wonder why you don't see any fat Jedis. Cause I know if I could grab shit
