I'm not using my real world name either. Wait. Maybe I do. But eventually I was just clever enough to make myself a second, completely realistic second onlince existence.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

One of the websites I frequent was experiencing loading problems and said to refresh the page. So I threw some cold water on it. Damn, that didn't make things any better.

Probably water not cold enough.

Since IE11 I switched back (to IE)
But I have one remaining issue...
From chrome I can drag an URL into a folder and voila, I got a link on disk!
From IE(11) I drag an URL to a folder and... I got some link vaguely related to the URL, but NOT the URL!
This is particularly frustrating with CodeProject! I want to save the article URL in the folder where I download the source, but I have to copy the URL, paste in Chrome, drag the URL from Chrome, so tedious..
Any idea on how to improve this workflow?

Haha, I know!
It's why I strongly specified that I was keen on it! ^^

Yeah use anything other than IE.

I see what you mean...just a shortcut, no URL, not even in the properties although the URL does show up on hover. So, just let the shortcut do it's job. Clicking it still gets you where you want to go right?...and you get the nice favicon graphic to boot!

A shortcut.. to the home page!
I would like a shortcut to the page I was viewing please!!!
Worse thing, sometimes it does it! What's going on? I dunno!

You're a code-monk[ey], write an app!

mm.... Embed IE11 eleven in my own app (after all there is a WebView in WPF) and manage Links and Favorite the way I like?
Mm... you know what? You might be onto something!!

Create a folder called Whatever in your favorites. Find something you like, click Ctrl+D to save it as a favorite in that folder. Browse to C:\Users\YourUsername\Favorites\Whatever . Enjoy.

Mm.. yeah, maybe I should learn to work with IE11 favorites...
Good idea!

Never mind the story; love the design of the web site.

Then you're in the minority.
I had always been a fan of this site - until they changed it. And from what I can see, most people don't like it either.
The format is horrible. Giant pictures instead of links intermingles with relelvent photos. Also, damn near everything is a video - which means sitting through countless ads just to see some news.
Another thing - it's REALLY slow. It used to be a decent site, now sucks

How odd: don't see it like that and has plenty of snap on my browser.

One of the local radio personalities had a daily crazy news item from Florida. He called it the "Dong of the US". (Just look at a map.)

No it is not just you, Florida is rapidly transitioning to the ways of The Peoples Republic of California.
