<insert extreme="" profanity="">

I use Internet Explorer for really one reason - it's somewhat compatible with my customer's backend exchange system. So, I find myself on any given day having numerous tabs open. It's a set of working thoughts - you know how this goes. This morning, I had something like 14 tabs open, all various searches, things I wanted to read, things I needed to read, working email..

Windows pushes out an update, and I get a popup "May I reboot?" just as I'm hitting a return in my email. Yup, flushed. Now, here's my bitch. IE only remembers the last window it closed. So, W7 closes down the browser and the last window closed is some meaningless popup.

Coming back to IE, if I want to reopen the last session, I get the meaningless popup. Mad | :mad:

I have searched over the years for extensions and what have you that will automatically remember the tabs in a fashion like Firebird or Opera?

There you go now. You want to use a vintage system and expect it to operate like the latest version. Good luck with that. Unsure | :~

I know, I know. I only use it for compatibility. The funny part is that IE11 is NOT compatible with the Exchange server, so I'm having to use IE10. Not that it would matter...

iE tab looks like it's giving me some hope....

The best extension I found that does that is here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/[^]

Do you mean the big one in the center, the medium one on the right or the small twins on the left?

I use the "Biggie" and the better endowed of the two twins...

That has not been my experience with IE. I believe there's an option for it to open the last set of tabs on start of IE. Also, you could use chrome with an iE tab extension. That has worked well for me.

Not really, it works well and gets the job done. Don't be so closed-minded.

Fair enough, no 10-ton rock, then, but a rope with frying pans tied to it. Big Grin | :-D

Well the problem is one of timing. You can try it yourself. Open up 5 tabs, then a tab in a separate window. Close the multitab one followed by the standalone.

HOWEVER, I have no problem looking into iE tab extension, that gives me some hope...

The only good use I've ever got from IE came the other day my ex asked me what browser I used she was having trouble with her's and I recommended IE. Yeah I know I'm going to hell but at least I'll know everyone. Smile | :)

Well, just updated chrome to use the iE tab extension, and things are looking better.

Mike, you are evil. See you in a few years Wink | ;)

Canada is offering tax incentives to supporters of the Moose Sex Project - an initiative to build a land corridor connecting endangered moose with other herds to increase their numbers.

If there that desperate why don't they just move to Cardiff? Eh?

They don't bump uglies with Mooses in Cardiff.
Mooses is reserved for Merthyr Tydfil residents.

Cardiff boys are fairly normal: http://www.stagnightuk.com/stagparties/2010/11/hooters-comes-to-cardiff.html[^] (SFW)

I went to Merthyr once, it was closed.

You were lucky!
I went once and it wasn't... OMG | :OMG:

Is funny how you talk about Wales as if it's not a nice place, I wen't there a few years ago and it was a very nice place.
Tenby, Trefin, St.Davids, Betws-y-Coed and Llandudno were all very nice places. And not even very full of sheep, Ok Snowdonia was.
And outside Aberystwyth we almost got pushed off the road by a lorry.
I might add that these places also have very good food, it's one of my measures.

Are you saying there are worse places to visit that we've missed? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

	Yes, a lot. (and we absolutely need details!)
