[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1706734"] Hazel, when you are here again, look at the address bar for where you are (In Safari, that's the bar at the top where you type in where you want to go. It should say [url]www.mac-forums.com[/url] and if you have it set to show the full address, it will then have "/something/something/something/#post<number>." The website is the [url]www.mac-forums.com[/url] part and the individual forums are found in the part of the address starting with the "/" symbol. You don't need to know that, I'm just pointing out the parts of the address. As long as the first part (the [url]www.mac-forums.com[/url]) is here, you are still on the website and are moving around the forums and menus. If you click on something an the www part changes, then you changed websites. At the Apple site you listed, the [url]www.discussions.apple.com[/url] is the website and the /community.... is the detail address to the forum you were in at that website. Does that help? Its like 123 Main street is the address of the building and Apartment 245 is the specific apartment IN that building. You can go from apartment to apartment and still be at 123 Main street, but if you go to some other address, that will be a different building. [/QUOTE]
