Default URLs - Computer bod help required
My computer used to display the full URL in the "address" field at the top of Explorer for each topic I was viewing, but now it just says https://passionford.com and doesn't detail the full URL .

How do I get it back to displaying the full thread address ?

Passion Ford is NOT in my favourites, it is saved in my Internet options as the site to automatically load up, and I haven't changed this from: https://passionford.com/forum/index.php

Next?

Mike, try accessing it through the link https://passionford.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 as Gareth Suggested. That should work

Nothing wrong with you computer Mike, its just because someone (probably Pet) have decided to mask/hide the full URL.

Edited:
Oops, perhaps not as I suddenly can see the full URL again.
