    On the top blue menu, there's also a link that says "view" and there's a drop down menu.

    Okay, I've got you beat. I have TWO windows up for FV. One is the "real time" window, so I can see the posts as they come in. The second one, I open and check "today's posts" in the morning, to see what I may have missed. Then I set it to the main page, so I can see the "chat" window. Then I minimize it and move it above the real time posts, so I can see both at the same time.

    When I'm at work, both windows are still up on my computer, but are just behind whatever I'm working on (or Outlook or whatever), so I can check back. On days like today, when I couldn't get to my computer all day, one of the first things I do is turn on the computer when I get home and do the same!!

    When I can't wait until the evening and the kids go to bed because that is pretty much my play time. I take the laptop to bed and curl up with FV.

    When I have dreamed about some posters here.lol

    Go to the "quick links" tab, then click on "todays posts" that gives you the newest posts, then hit the refresh button every few minutes to become an addict ROFLMAO

    FV is the first site I visit everyday~to check what I have missed in the last 6 hours while I was sleeping! Then I will check back at least 2 times during the day (sometimes more). FV is the last site I visit before going to bed. I am always refreshing the new posts and then I will also use the real time if I know I will be on the computer doing something else so I can stay in touch with what is going on here!

    Very addicted: YES!!!

    When you think about posting your latest find all the way home. Only to find out you can't get on the site and become more aggitated because you really want to post your find. So you wait an hour or two and try logging on again praying you can get on to post your really great find.

    Meanwhile your mailbox is packed with unanswered e-mails and your kitty is starring at you waiting to be fed.

    But all you can think about is posting your really great find!!! LOL
