Correcting title revisited

If you do it quickly (I don't know how many minutes, but not many) you can just click on your back button and edit it. If not, it's too late.

I love you Oss but which back button where

The browser's back button, I guess. (About to test)

(after the test) I didn't use the back button; see here

Thanks Tess, and forgive an old man but what's a browser, where on it do we find the "back" button, and how is it labeled

By coincidence Tes I had reverted to Edit, tag, etc....

Edited to announce triumphantly that It's done under "Preview."

But again thanks Tes a million for your concern

It's to the left, in your whatsit, toolbar.

Ok, ok, I'll look. If I remember, it needs to be clicked yes in your preferences.

I think I lost my back button once and found it again that way.

A browser, (or web browser) is a software program that you use to "browse" the World Wide Web. You are using one right now to read this. Examples include Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and (a long while ago) Netscape.


It is usually a left-pointing arrow or triangle; you use it to go back one page. Often it is accompanied by a "forward" button, which does what its name suggests.





Often it is not labelled; sometimes if you hover the mouse over it you see a little box saying "Go back one page" or something like that.

Dale, you drive me crazy, as you know, but I sort of empathize. I've asked many odd computer questions and I happen to own the opposite of yours, a very old one, an out of space old iMac. I have received countless warnings, including from my bank, that I need to upgrade my browser, which cannot be upgraded. Let me guess, 5000+. All the time, they notice. It's sort of like ads for better hot dogs.

I have been browser de-possessioned except for basic, which is extremely basic, by google, yahoo, and many more.

A lot of responses to my old questions here were helpful and people have tried to help you here.
I do hope you engage some mac computer person to come to your house.

Forgive me again Oss but on my screen at present I count 7 toolbars

I can't find a "back" in Preferences

Then I'll try again.....

If you are within the editing time clock, you can just press the EDIT button and change the title that way. No need to go on a treasure hunt to find a back button.

Yes! Plus, I don't think you should give advise to newcomers anyway.
Try to learn how to maneuver around the site yourself and let it be.

Aha Tes, thank you!!!! I'd often wondered, asking my boys but nobody seemed to know what it's called. So I'm supposing you have reference to all those colored icons in a row, that you get when you slide the cursor over to the left or at the bottom of the screen. I had asked my Beteer Half too, but she calls 'em "icons", which of course they are, but....

Aha!!! So the left-arrow icon is also called "back" and right, "forward" !!!!

You have to forgive an old decrepit mind like mine, I don't pick up on all that slang; but it doesn't look at all like a button

Yea Tes, it's labeled "show the previous page", but I never had heard it called "back button"

I guess I get too literal and technical but again thanks Tes

Oh Oss but I do

It's appreciated

Not odd as mine

Again Oss you've made my day and maybe tomorrow morn too

What does it mean to be depossessed and so how do you cope


At $50 min, thought I might engage L, S, and M just a bit more

Thanks But but I've tried that, as I mention somewhere above

Oh no no Jane you misunderstand: I've been hoping a newcomer might help me

It's such fun tho, and many times I have been steered straight

Before the latest OpSys I indeed did maneuver around pretty successfully

That's true! I forgot that you're in your 80s already - it's not easy to
cope with computers at that age. You're doing well

Thanks Jane. I attribute my resilience to lots of vitamins and minerals, as well as 65 years guzzling The Brew

And long may that continue!

Bless thee Jane

to respond about the "depossession" of my browser -

- my imac is from 2006, and had OS upgrades to 10.6.8. However, a while ago, Apple/Mac cut off earlier Operating systems regarding updating them, and 10.6.8 was cut.
Guessing - a mix of a tad of support work for them and a push for people to buy anew.

That last OS, which was called snow leopard, was rather beloved to some offshoot group of mac types (I read some article about it, and likely saved it, but I forget why they liked it) and they were annoyed too, but not as much as me.

Anyway, after that, google and yahoo and godknowswhoelse inform me constantly that their site no longer supports my system.
Thus, I've lost many of my yahoo contacts list, grrrrr.

For a week or two, google news was like a cleared space, I never existed.. weird,
but a month or two later, they seem to know where I am again and some of the blank spaces are filled anew.


Lesson from all this?
If you have a Mac and insist on loving macs as I do, then put your contact information somewhere on separate pages and keep it up - that is, because, if you don't keep up with new OS systems, you may be dropped.




The obvious answer for me is to buy a later iMac, but I can't afford to or I would have already.
Besides, I am not the only one on earth with an old computer: I think this company, wildly wealthy as it is, should support. I got my first mac in the nineties, from an ad in the Evening Outlook classifieds: it was a "school mac".
