Well for the new members, I just want to mention that the blue arrow under the "Last Post" column in the main chapter thread will take you to the last post in that thread.

Thanks, I may be mechanically challenged but you can't say that I am technologically challenged.

Buddy Lists
 

Do you guys use the buddy list feature that will show you who on your list is online?

To setup a buddy list while viewing a post, click on the username and then click on add.

You then can open your buddy list by clicking on "Quick Links" in the blue tool bar at the top of any page and select "Open Buddy List".

Did you all know that you can edit your posts only for 60 minutes.

After that time, it will take a moderators assistance to change it.

Also if replying to or posting a new post, "Go Advanced" will allow you to add the "Smiley" emoticons to your post.:-wink

Do you know that the FTE site has automatic filters built in to monitor what is in a post because this is a family site?

Sometimes a post goes to the moderator pool and doesn't get post right away until it is screened for one of the magic words.

When the post does appear you may see that a word or too has been edited out.

For example, George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on TV would qualify as magic words. LOL

Have you all visted the Vendors Specials, Discounts, Product Announcements, and Group Buys?

If you don't want e-mails from treads you posted to than on the bottom under thread subscription....do not subscription.No e-mails.Use your user cp to check posts.....

Good tip Steve.

Did you know that you can click of the number assigned to a post to get a direct link to that post?

Just above each post, to the right side of the page you will see #xx. Click on that number and it takes you to a new window that shows just that post. When the new window opens, just copy the link, close the window and paste it where you want.

Makes it easy for you to PM that info or post in a new post.:-wink

Bump up for new members

Just to let you know, there are no more three year memberships available, hence no free T-shirts. All new, and re-ups are for one year only.:'(

Thanks Frank, I had forgotten about that change.

Did you know you can click on the "Members List" in the blue tool bar above and sort the list by state and many other ways???

Makes it easy to see who are the new FTE members from the state.:-wink

Title Subject For Posts
 

Do you know why when you do a search it seems you can't find what you are looking for?

One of the reasons is because hardly anyone uses the "Title area" to post the main topic of the post.

If we all could remember to do this in the technical forums, like I did on this post, then it will make it easier to find what we are looking for.:-wink

If I could find what I was looking for, I'd be on a yacht sucking down Daiquiris, with half naked women serving my every needs.

















Ah crap I just woke up.:mad:

The "Official US Time Clock can be accessed HERE

I have found this site http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ for helping to find the best times to call the new CLs; Plan my Int'l buis. trips (figure out jet lag and landing times ahead of time :-D)- and it also helps with those pesky Int'l conference call planning periods.

Good link Rich.

Quick question, what side of your car is your gas tank? If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental car.


Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.


If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo below). It is that simple!

Why don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers? I don't understand why this isn't in the drivers ed manual? I don't get why any mechanic I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me? The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know!

Much better when the cars had the filler in the middle of the vehicle, behind the license plate. There was no "wrong side" then!

glruff I didn't know about the gas pump thing. I have found this thread usefull. I surfing the chapters trying to steal...er...borrow ideas.

Thanks for all of the help. You all have set up a great chapter.

Anytime Robert, feel free to "borrow or steal" anything we have, except for our members. lol
