Tinyurl (OT)

[Carol]

Jen: 

> So you use both IE and Netscape?  I don't know why the actual 
webpage wouldn't look the same to both of us unless I have some 
update on my IE that you don't have. Even then we should both be able 
to load the page, I think. Just out of curiosity, what do you see 
when you go to the tinyurl.com address? 

Carol responds:
The page looks exactly as it does when I go ther using the full address, 

http://www.moviefone.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince/27063/main

I see a blue bar across the top of the page that says "Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince-Moviefone-Netscape," with the minimize,
maximize and exit boxes; the menu that says File, Edit, View, etc.;
the Navigation Toolbar with Back, Forward, Reload, Stop, the address
bar, a search icon, a print icon, and a Netscape icon. Under that is
the web page itself, exactly as it shows up in IE. At the bottom of
the page, I have the Taskbar for Windows XP, which doesn't change with
the browser.

In IE, the view is similar but more cluttered, with the blue bar at
the top of the page substituting Internet Explorere for netscape,
various buttons and icons (Back, Forward, Favorites, Home, Print,
Tools, Help, Cut, Copy, Paste), along with a search bar, an address
bar, and the tab for the page. The page itself looks exactly the same
as in Netscape except for a different ad at the top. At the bottom is
the identical Windows taskbar.

Nothing related to tinyurl in sight.

out how to do it on my computer, I'll bring it up on OT.

> That's a good idea since I'm puzzled.  It seemed so easy but 
obviously that's not the case all the time.

Carol:
It might help if you tell me which toolbar it's in. It might be some
special Google or windows toolbar that I keep closed to avoid clutter.

Carol, promising to take this discussion to the OT list if she finds
any answers
