shrink this screen...so its open and running...

now..open a "second" library window...you should already be logged in ........use this second library window to use the forum, PM system, and chat....
thrall,
You can also get to that page by clicking on "Who's Online" (last item in the "Quick Links" pulldown menu which is the 2nd button from the right at the top of the page on the main menu bar). This was the only way I knew to get there till you told us your way. But, do you think (or know) if it will work the same way as using your directions? I too have a lot of trouble losing what I've written.

Another thing I've been doing lately which seems to help ('cause I didn't know the second window thing either, Rachel) is to periodically shrink the window I'm working in down to the taskbar, then bring it right back up again. This seems to act like a refresh that starts the time over again. I haven't paid any attention to whether this differentiates on pms/posts/etc.
This is probably the thing to try if you've forgotten to open that second window-----which I will do.
