Thanks for the reply and the help, Oris

I have marked several tutorials as favs by clicking on the star - where will I find my favorites?

What "star", soseberg?

when viewing a tutorial, just below the title there are 3-options in a row w/icons:
1) a little printer icon w/print
2) a star w/save to favorites
3) an email icon w/tell a friend

when i move my cursor over the star/save to favs the hand appears & i click on it , i am not sure that anything happens...i have done this on several tutorials, but i am not seeing that they are saved anywhere.

i am now guessing i should select one of the options just below the star icon whatever those mean...

clicking on those just bring me to some other websites (that i am not really interested in at the moment)

sure would be useful w/a little pop-up description on some of these when moving a cursor of the selection.

i am thinking that when i click on the star/save to favs i should be able to go somewhere to review my favorite tutorials.

Clicking on the star you describe saves the URL in the Internet Explorer favorites list. In other words it bookmarks that link for you. You can find it in your Internet Explorer Bookmarks list. If you use a browser other that Internet Explorer it will not work. Note that hovering the cursor over the star that it states IE Only.

Tg I LOVE YOU! Wohoo I don't need to bookmark all the topicsI post on ftw
