Do you use the mylot toolbar?

It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago when our email notifications were down that I even knew the mylot toolbar existed. A fellow mylotter turned me on to it and I have found it helpful in finding discussions to respond to. Do you use it or are you even aware that it exists? If you do use it, do you find it helpful to you in any way?

I didnot know that such a thing existed. How does it help in finding discussions?

Yes it does help in finding discussions. Scroll down to the bottom of your page, to where you find the blue links and you will see one named toolbar. You can install it from there.

I have used it a few times. I like to search for a topic before I start a discussion to make sure it has not been posted recently. I have not used it to find discussions to reply to though.

Ummm no didn't know we had one until now. It is sort of out of sight so out of mind. Guess I should check into using it Thanks.

Well I found out I can't download it because I use Linux OS and they don't let you download things not compatible with their system. So guess I will muddle along without it. Oh well.

It is something you wouldn't know about unless someone told you thats for sure.

I like to use the toolbar! It shows me the latest discussions as well as discussions that I have never seen or responded to! It also works well when email notifications are not working. It is very helpful!

I like it because I can be working on something else and see a topic that I find interesting and go ahead and respond to it.

Yes, I like that too! It finds the newest discussions and shows us the first sentence! So if we are interested, then we can respond and yet still continue what we were doing!

Scroll down to the bottom of your page and there are some blue links there, one is named toolbar. You can download it from that link.

Shows how informed I am my friend I never knew it existed! So what it's all about? Can you use it if you have Firefox, or a Mac computer, sorry but I am slow when it comes to these things, I still haven't used all the facilities and add ons that Firefox has. I usually rely on notifications for discussions to respond to on Mylot but if the toolbar is helpful then I might try it. Thanks for the info!

I use to use the MyLot toolbar before my computer crashed the last time. I just haven't re downloaded it to my computer. I always have trouble finding it until I do a search and that is how I find it.

Yes, I do use the toolbar and have never had notifications set on anything - so the toolbars are my means of locating discussions for the most part. Until recently I never have even looked at the mylot digest... but now I do look about once a week.

I have used it before. Another mylotter pointed it out. It is useful at times.Most ofthe time I forget its there.

I didn't even know that it existed. Presumably this means that there is a bar running permanently even when I am not logged into myLot? I rather like to work through the notifications from my e mail, s I don't think that I will be downloading the bar. Also, as I am not the only of the computer, I don't necessarily want others to start churning through what I see as my plaything. Not possessive or anything. Thanks for telling us about it though.

I managed to miss out most of a sentence! Should read: As I am not the only one to use the computer...

I ever installed it but never tried it because it only worked on Internet Explorer back then. Does the toolbar work in other browsers? I often use Opera, and I wonder if myLot toolbar will work in Opera? I would love to try it if it does support Opera too.

no, I don't really use it don't even know how, I don't like to look up discussions, it just takes too long, I prefer the email notifications

I used to have notification off for all of my friends. The only way to find anything was a toolbar. It is very useful for sure...

I somehow dont like having toolbars on my browser and that is what keeps me from downloading it. I'm also weary about spyware - even on MyLot I wouldn't rust it!

Now and then I use it to find new and recent discussions other than those received via email from my friends. It nice to answer other members discussions other than my friends.

Sometimes, the notifications are a little late; so,I sometimes use the toolbar.
