BodybyFisher Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I am not sure how you all come on to caddyinfo, but I thought I would share my method and how I make it convenient. I log on to caddyinfo normally, with IE9 saving my password, then I click VIEW NEW CONTENT, and I go to all of the new content that occurs since my last log on. Then, I go to the link that is being displayed in the address line above, highlight it and copy it, Then I go to my desktop, and right click, NEW, SHORTCUT, and I paste the address I just copied into "Type the location of the item" and click NEXT, then I type Caddyinfo in "Type a Name for this shortcut" and click finish... then I drag that caddyinfo shortcut from my desktop to the quickstart area next to the START BUTTON... Note, you may need to unlock the shortcut taskbar to widen it if you can not see it or drag to it.... Then, everytime I click that easily accessible, caddyinfo shortcut, IE immediatly launches me a new page with all of the NEW POSTS quickly on my screen. Once I am there, I can continue to click View New Content, to keep me up to date. I hope this is helpful, and that I just didn't state the obvious, I can hear it new " duh, that is obvious, Mike", but if its not I hope its helpful, I think its cool and the shortcut saves me time getting to where I want to be with on clickerooo. If you have any ideas or tips I would love to hear them. Like, what do you all know about active data on your desk top is that RSS feeds? Does anyone use RSS and is it something that can be a time saver?

Cadillac Jim Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I use Firefox but I had the same problem once. The issue was a security setting in the browser, in which "Delete all logon cookies on exit" was checked. I unchecked that and all was well. The only other thing I can think of is that "forever" is not selected as the logon duration. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Bruce Nunnally Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 In the upper right corner there is a "Today's" link; I use that a lot. "View new content" shows stuff that has changed since your last visit. If I visit CaddyInfo, read the 1st cool article, then zoom off to research something and come back and post about that, then wander off, "View new Content" will show me stuff that has changed since my visit, but it won't show me items 3 4, 5 that were 'new' on my previous visit and I forgot to read. "Today's" shows any articles that are active, which I think means activity in the last 24 hrs regardless of whether I have read them or not. Two different things, each useful in different situations.

The only other thing I can think of is that "forever" is not selected as the logon duration. Actually, I don't have a problem logging in at all My first log in of the day, I set up a shortcut in the quick start link to go right into caddyinfo's "view new content" page, and I get all new posts with one click. That is what I was trying to say, but I probably was not being clear From that point on during the day, I just leave that window open and click "view new content" or, if I closed the caddyinfo page, I just click my caddyinfo shortcut to the "view new content" and get all new posts. I hope that is clearer Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can create a shortcut and pull that shortcut down to the quick launch area next to the start button and just click THAT link to with one click get to the View New Content.

BodybyFisher Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Oh good! That is what I have been trying to share here! I agree, its what you are used to, and that is ok, I wanted to share what I do. Now, who knows about RSS feeds? Can they be helpful?
