Howdy Pat & Pete, Well, after several unsuccessful attempts to edit my signature and change the photo from the Freightliner to the Pete, I actually found via the search function ( something I have rarely ever been successful in using ) the instructions on how to edit this bit of the signature.

Howdy Pat & Pete, This is one of the very few times I was able to find what I needed using the search thingamabob usually it comes up blank. I must have lucked out and put the right word in the search request.

Good you can admit your 'weakness' . Howdy Pat & Pete, Why back in the olden days when I first started to crash computers, I joined the ADV-Rider web site, I was one of the first 100 or so folks to join now there's close to a million people who are registered on that web site. Anyway, my lack of computer expertise was recognized by the folks who started that site when they set up the "smiles" they gave many of them names, over there when you type ": cob" what shows up is a cartoon guy sitting front of a computer pounding on the keyboard, after a couple of key punches a fist comes out of the computer screen and knocks the guy out. That was back in August of 2001, I finally gave up trying to use a pc, about 8 years ago I bought a Mac, now at least I am not crashing the thing just by looking at it and for the most part it works flawlessly, so I now have the proper machine but I am still ignorant of how to use it.

Pat & Pete Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I started with computers in the late 70s . No Apple or Microsoft . Had my problems , but almost always able to find my way out of the woods . I still don't use most of what the machine is capable of . I've had the pleasure of administrating and moderating ( still mod ) sites . One of which attracted the founder of advrider . Nice guy . Goes around , comes around .

Lance A Lott Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 My problem is I get them to work once and then can't remember what I did that time. If you remember how you got the correct result perhaps you can put the sequence in this post. I wonder if I use the search correctly my self. For example I am looking for a new gps and I tried garmen versus Magellan gps and it would come up with threads for one word only. I am sure there is a thread on how to use search already I am just not smart enough to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I am looking for a new gps and I tried garmen versus Magellan gps and it would come up with threads for one word only. I am sure there is a thread on how to use search already I am just not smart enough to find it. If you want to search for multiple words , like 'garmen versus Magellan gps' , try putting that phrase between quote marks , like : "garmen versus Magellan gps" . You may have to try different versions of those words , as the search will likely only bring up exact wording . In this case maybe vs. as opposed to versus . And , there's the fact that not all search engines are the same , so ... Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
