So do we all "click" straight on Tubechallenge forum, or go to some of our other favourites first ?

I use Firefox and have it set as a default tab, so it automatically opens when I open my browser. It's only my second tab though - Google Home Page is first.

Well, my homepage is actually BBC but I don't count that because it loads by default.

Naturally, I have to come here first to sort you lot out ... :-)

And sorting us lot out is indeed a unenviable task that must be a full time job :)

How does one set a particular tab to be a default one? I've got a few that I'd like to open each time.

It does help that our userbase helps itself by behaving themselves :-)

I use a Firefox extension called Tab Mix Plus - available from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1122/.

The instructions are long but not complicated:

Once installed, go to Tools > Tab Mix Plus Options > Session.
Click the tick-box to Enable Session Manager.
Click the radio box to choose Restore for "When Browser Starts".
Open the tabs you would like to be your start-up screen.
Go to Tools > Session Manager > Save This Window and give it a name.
Then go to Tools > Tab Mix Plus Options > Session again, select the window you saved from the drop down box and restart Firefox!

Usually when I load up my internet connection I go straight to the forums to which I am a member of (of which I have four to visit)!

Ever since I have joined this forum, somehow I always tend to come here first!

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

It's usually the fourth to sixth station for me. First is Google, then the Beary's Underground forum, Tagesschau.de, BBC London and this forum (not always in this order).
The next station is Beary's Underground - www.london-underground.de

I use Opera. When I open it, it asks me if I want to open up one of my "sessions"; my default session consists of

Tube challenge forum
Neil's blog
Geoff's blog
Annie's blog
My blog
Coasterforce.info
House of Steel site statistics

and maybe another which I can't remember. The TC forum is the first up!
