Star...it's so you receive emails when the Q has been answered. It also appears on the right hand side. I have subscribed to a thread where Rowan posted a recipe so I don't lose it.
Thanks ummmm. Don't think I shall need to use it. I do the same as rowan, mainly because I didn't know any other way, or alternatively, I print them so that I can read them at my leisure. For instance I have just printed a couple of knitting patterns from the Hobbies and Pastimes section as I shall need to refer to them while I am knitting. Seems to work.
