Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Is it bad when your list is split into 4 areas and still scrolls?

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Whats the addy for that free sms? Ive been in need of one since I switched from AOL about 2 1/2 years ago. And Lycos just isnt up to scratch IMO.

As for my favorites.....
Manfacturers websites for all my hardware in my PC's and laptop. (Makes getting new drivers way simpler :tu: )

About 10 forums I frequent, though I dont visit any as much as NTHW (NTHW is even my homepage :D )

Lots of Pages for games I own aswel as Online browser based games.

Some handy Internet utilities such as speed tests for my BB connection.

Random stuf I couldnt fit into another catagory (BBC test the Nation, Train Times, Cinema times and a PC PSU wattage calculator among lots of other things)

NTL things such as My upload, webspace & Webmail.

Lots of online shops Like Ebuyer, Dabs & Ebay.

Episode Listings for all my favorite TV shows.

And finally an internet Radio Feed for my local favorite radio station.

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Well I don't have favorites, but I do have bookmarks, and I've got lots of them!

First of all there's the Search Engines tab with Google, Google UK and Ask Jeeves being the most used.

Then there's the "Groups" folder with all the discussion groups such as Which? Online and nthw.co.uk

Then BDSM resources, Banking and Savings, Auctions and Shopping, Knowledge Resources (online encyclopaedias, dictionaries, Snopes etc), Business (assorted business related links) and a few others such as Games and Misc for everything else that doesn't go anywhere else!

It's much easier to bookmark than having to try to rediscover "that site I found a few weeks back that had that useful stuff on it"!

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

I have about 10 items in my Favorites root and then about 20 folders with something like 150 links in them - some of those root folders then have sub folders with more links. :D

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

im not going to say what i have in mine, but i have too many, a long long list at the front, and then about 6 folders 5 of which are growing increasingly longer full of 'links' :D

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

just links to kazaalite , nthellworld , my IRC server webpage , manutd.com , bout it really

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Same here exept I have 21 folders :disturbd:
.....am I online too much?

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Well, after finding this doozy I've started a new favourites folder called 'Nut Cases'. Even my 'Junk Science' folder isn't demented enough to store this one in it.

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

no, you have too many porn links :p :rofl:

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

wow.....
My bookmarks folder is full o rubbish mainly.
As well as the junk got NTHW, various anime links including: Animeondvd, uk anime.net,
film review sites, bbci, online shops, 404 research lab, Netcraft uptime

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

I reckon that the easiest way to do a serious (as opposed to shifting a few links around) reorganisation of Favorites is to work directly in the Favorites folder in Explorer, rather than trying to use the pathetic 'Organise Favorites' in IE.

Re: whats in your favourites???

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Here's a screenshot. I coudn't be bothered to list them.

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

Hotmail
eBay
And lots of strange sites like:Klingon Dictionary :disturbd:
Most annoyingwebpages

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

I have a home page that lists the most frequently visited sites such as the Beeb, NTL servers status, Will Hill, and e-banking. It saves time - just a simple bit of HTML. I have all my favourites organised neatly into categories like a sad ******* :D In Reference for example I have sites that list IANA port numbers, how to wire a telephone line, and how to tie a tie (I can never remember).

Edit: swear words are censored huh? I only said ******* - not like I said mother ****er is it :rofl:

Re: whats in your favourites???
 

I have 321 files and 37 folders.

I agree mate,its not as confusing!!

However clicking Organise favourites tells you when you last clicked an item and how many times its been clicked.... (If you dont have it disabled (Locking the favourite successfully disables that info from being saved in the file (It just takes up room for no reason)))

I have one main list and 3 sub lists of of favourites

Favourites: 6
Other Links: 10
Stuff: 8
Audio-Video: 14

I do have to clean each out as several links are no longer valid...

Re: Whats in your favourites???
 

you are replying to a guy who has not been here for 4 years

Well I was mainly reply to the thread "WHATS IN YOUR FAVOURITES" Maybe I shouldnt have quoted him though,you could be right...

Im glad the site is still about.. Running out of GOOD sites!!


Whats in your list Jay?

Re: Whats in your favourites???
