I've just trialled copying and pasting www.ntvhonda.proboards.com into my browser address bar and it comes directly to the right site. Perhaps when you've copied the address from the previous forum, it brought some of the code that makes it a hyperlink and that gives the foreign site. Do you bookmark or favourite? That's the easiest way I find to come back to frequently visited sites. When you're on a page you want to revisit: Internet Explorer: alt +A or select "Favourites" from your menu bar across the top of the screen. Add to Favourites Give a name to remind you what the site is eg "NTV Forum - the best in the world" Add - Job Done, although you might want to oranise your favourites into folders if you have a lot of them, eg Bikes, Sport etc Mozilla Firefox Ctrl +D or "Bookmarks" from your menu bar acroos the top of the screen then a similar process to Internet Explorer Sinclair Spectrum - write it on the screen in felt pen Best Solution - as you really don't need any site other than this - make it your home page ;D Mozilla Firefox - Tools, Options, Main, Home page - use current Internet Explorer is similar

One for phase 2 Graham. But I use Internet explorer and get it to open 3 tabs at startup. - One for the old forum so I can help/guide people over - another for the new forum and - the third for Buzzins new NTVHONDA wiki. Happy to add an McF style post if you need any help. Just shout. Roger

while you're browsing the index, look at the very top of Internet Explorer, or Firefox, depending which one you use, there'll be a menu that says Bookmarks or Favourites, click that, and you can add the site to your favourites, then in future all you have to do is click the menu button again, find this site and click that and it'll bring you straight here.
Or you could memorise the web address like I do. lol

He's been hiding about in Manchester for past month or so, lol! That's why he's hardly online anymore. I'll tell him you said hi!
If you like, and by no means am I intending to sound patronising, but I could make you up a pictureish walkthrough of your bookmarking system?

Graham - whatever you do - avoid making arrangements for a meeting, unless it's in a brightly lit public place, and take a few friends for your own security!!!

In Firefox, to create a bookmark: Click 'Bookmarks' Bookmark This Page: To open bookmark, click Bookmarks, choose the one you want and click it: For Internet Explorer (Windows Vista ) Click 'Add to Favourites' button: Click 'Add' on dialogue box: to visit favourite, click 'Favourites Centre' button, choose favourite by clicking it: Hope that clear's it up without being patronising!!!

That's a weird one that, Graham, what browser are you using? What I do usually, is I don't delete my cache, cookies or browsing history very often, so I start typing the web address (ntvhonda.proboards.com) I generally only have to type ntv and it comes up in a drop down list under the address bar, and I access it that way. Sounds weird if you're getting error reports from trying to access the bookmark..
