Favorites no longer work? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since the new changes and look of the board, my saved favorites to posts no longer work. Is there anything I can do to get them to work?

Right in your browser where is says .php3 on your old link replace it with a .php in your old link and it should work

just replace the 3

edit; right where I "tried" to circle with red

He means...just remove that "3" and hit enter...or click GO!!!

First, I gotta say this just in case - with your mouse in Windows, you can click items with the left mouse button or the right mouse button. The left mouse button selects an item or executes it. When you single click an item with the right-hand mouse button will open an options menu.

With that said, in Internet Explorer, Left click the favorites menu, then Right-click one of the shortcuts to the forum in your favorites list. This will pop up a menu - choose Properties from that menu.

You should see the link to the shortcut in there. Do exactly what Fatman and Putter describe above - change the 'php3' in the link to just plain ol 'php' (delete the number 3). Click APPLY or OK, whichever exists. This should permanently fix the shortcut to always work.

THANKS GUYS!! I was in a panic for info that I had saved prior to going on vacation for 3 weeks. Love the new look, but I was freaked out about my links not working.

I hope you didn't delete any of the old links, another board member freaked out and delete them before coming here and finding this info.
