I was kinda messing around with Google Chrome on another computer and I have a question about one simple task I noticed to be different in performing, that being, what if I want to save a site to favorites? I usually right click, add to favorites, done, but I didn't see this option when using Google Chrome. Did I miss it? Thanks

UK...sorry about that...my 7-yr old LT keeps crashing/overheating...must be a cat prob...Ha

I was starting to type that GC bookmarks are not as intuitive as IE Favs, but once you get them in there they are there...

Upper right hand side of screen there is a wrench...click it...check off box that says "always show bookmark bar" and then click on Bookmark Manager...

You should have 2 screens showing...left hand column shows bookmark hierarchy with bookmark bar listed at the top...

Right hand window shows bookmarks which will be shown in bookmark bar, once you add, and will be along the top of your screen...

Now just copy the complete address into this right hand window...it will then show up in your bookmark bar at the top of your screen...

So bookmarks in GC are like favorites in IE...

I have yet to download GC into this netbook I'm using, so I can't give you more detail until thats complete, it won't happen today thou...

See if from what I've described you can get further along than where you were & let me know if I gave you enough info to keep you going...

Brad

NO complaints about how this site runs with my desktop. But it is slower than heck with my laptop. I guess it's more the computer than connection.
When I try to load a thread it works ok, but replying is terrible on my laptop. It gets to the Submit reply page, and it is EXTREMELY jerky, scrolling is delayed, and moves erratically and the delay on clicking is about 3-5 seconds! LOL
I need to get a new laptop I guess, mine is about 7 yrs old.
But it still works, hate to kick it to the curb,,,,

This place is slow. The slowest of all I play on.
My wife is a network manager and knows the best of the best and we have it. Several times a week I just leave for another site while waiting for a page.

Charge us the $10 and buy an extra rodent to spin the wheel.

For the poster asking about Google Chrome bookmarks... since it is th eBETA version it does not have bookmarks management.. kinda clunky for now.. but the browser does fly! Quicker than Camino, IE or Safari on my machine.
