    I have www.thehungersite.com as my homepage, i mean it takes all of 10 seconds to click and donate free food, a damn good idea and that means i dont forget so i do it every day (gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside :P), nah, seriously, it's something i think is worthwhile.

    start>run>iexplore www.boards.ie

    Or just "[WindowsButton+R] www.boards.ie [enter]" - Windows recognises URLs automatically and opens your default browser.

    Personally I use about:blank and have "New IE Window" as a single-button shortcut on my keyboard, which is handy.

    about:blank
    I find IE opens much quicker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    I've used about:blank for ages now because it means windows open a lot quicker, and I tend to use a lot of IE windows, Shift and click to open a link in a new window is also a favourite of mine :).

    On a side note, how does www.thehungersite.com work? And are they being entirely honest? I'd make the effort to click the link every day if I thought it would be providing 1.1 cups of food for hungry people, but I don't see how it can work?

    I've just been looking there myself and I can't see how that works either. Whatever about the companys like Amazon that advertise on the site donating money to them for the referrals, but on the other hand there doesn't seem to be anything on the site worth tricking people into seeing (by clicking the link).

    www.msn.com

    Damn I'm lazy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭strat

    My homepage is boards.ie..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    about:blank in IE6
    www.boards.ie in Opera 6


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Dr. Loon


    Pigsback for me! :) Notch myself some points up before I browse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭flyz


    about:blank for me plus the google toolbar is dead handy too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    At home its boards.ie, but here in college it is the college homepage :(

    about:blank at home, intranet site at work.

    In any other browsers I have (NN4, 6, Opera 5, 6) it's a blank page. It's quicker and I usually have a destination in mind when opening a window.

    Google Toolbar is my friend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    www.lowbrow.com - need to know there are people out there who are more cringeworthy than I am before I go for a browse.

    Works every time.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,563 ✭✭✭leeroybrown


    At home: about:blank

    (Or google when I'm dialing up - very little download time. )

    In college: Annoying college computer services homepage (complete with pop-up information window)

    It gets really annoying, especially the pop-up every time you hit the home page.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    At home: still no net connection :( Although I use my own test webpage as home in my personal apache server for testing cgi scripts. Does that count??:)

    In college: These win2k workstations still haven't been configured properly, after 8 months, so it still opens this
    http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=5.5&ar=msnhome extremely annoying page. Or at least it tries to. That stop button gets pressed so fast........:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭kayos


    has to be about:blank all the way baby.

    kayos
