Camp Cachalot Alumni Association Forums

[Dennis Wilkinson]

I know that at least some of the folks accessing this site are using the Firefox web browser to do so -- I highly recommend it, particularly for Windows users, as it's extremely standards-compliant and generally less crash-prone and more virus-proof than Internet Explorer.

If you haven't tried it out, the team that puts it together has released version 1.0, and you can grab a (free!) copy for your operating system of choice at:

http://www.getfirefox.com/

or at:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

I especially recommend giving tabbed browsing a try.

One of the neat things you can do with Firefox is install a whole slew of different extensions to make the browser work the way you want it to. There's one extension out there, which you can download from here that adds BBCode formatting to the context menu (the right-click menu.) BBCode is the "language" you use in forums like this one to format your posts; the plug in lets you do things like select some text and right-click on it to make it bold, or underlined, or whatever. If you post to more than one forum that uses BBCode (and I do) it'll come in handy.

I don't have any connection to the Firefox group or to the guy who wrote this extension other than as a happy user, for what it's worth.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Camp Chat.
