This forum will never be "finished" - there'll always be corrections and updates. If you can't find what you want, just post a question in the Computer forum. And please let me know if you find something that's clearly wrong or
that you just can't understand. ![]()
Important disclaimers:
Everything's customisable these days; the screenshots in the illustrated step-by-step stuff are of my system (Windows xp on a PC and, occasionally, Firefox on a Mac) and I'm sorry if what you see is different but there's nowt I can do about it!
Also there's usually more than one way to do anything in Yuku. For the sake of brevity and my sanity I've often just given you one method that will work. ![]()
