I think I'm officially a Google Chrome Convert...

I *love* chrome! I finally figured out a way to copy links with the bb format too (for uploading LO's) so now I have completely ditched FF. Chrome is just so much faster.

I downloaded this extension: https://chrome.google.com/extensions...kkglmnnhagajbm

When it was installed I clicked on it, clicked configure and then the little plus sign. In the first box type a name for it (I called it bb code), and in the second box I typed this: (remove the spaces at the beginning and end)

[ url=%url%]%text%[/url ]

Now when I am going to upload something, I go to the page of the product I used, select the text I want (name of the product), click on the extension and select bb code. This creates a link to that page with the text I selected and copies it to your clipboard, so all you need to do is paste it where you want the link.

I just selected this text on the page: Custom Cursive Handwriting Font Service by Darcy Baldwin, and the extension did the rest.

Hope that made sense - it sounds complicated, but it really isn't

I find I get a lot of "pages not found" or "can't open Page" a lot with chrome--so much it's irritating but for some reason it's the only browser that seems to work with a facebook game social city

Faster than FF? Hmmm... I've never had any issues w/ FF, but my man has been talking about Chrome.

I'm such a slow poke on things...
