    yeah, but there is not much difference between one click, or one click+pessing one key, is it?

      CTRL + C is the Windows shortcut to copy something. Highlight the link with your mouse and copy the info by pressing CTRL + C. Open another IE windows and paste the link again by using the shortcut CTRL + V and hit Enter.

        That doesn't save-as, that opens in a new window.

          yeah thats fine for opening another window but it doesn't let you "save as" so if someone posts a set link you're a bit screwed

          That also doesn't work unless the whole link is displayed, ie if someone uses the [url = webaddress]click me[ / url ] coding then you're screwed

          is there a good reason for this change tomtom? i presume there is otherwise it wouldn't be done.........

              any advice??

              cheers people
              Install getright or another download manager and just click on the link.
              Ok, any recommendations for a spy-ware free manager? I got an old version of dap that is not much intrusive but when I wanted to install it on my laptop there was only a new one available which is shit. Does getright have multiple connections?

                      I use getright... has multiple connections and captures links on any browser. No spyware included.

                      hehehe... :wink: Really, I think it's pretty stupid for browsers like IE to let anyone with some javascript knowledge determine what can or can't do with your mouse :?

                        Read what E posted in the first posting of this thread here: http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/...pic.php?t=1632 ...it?s a problem with our hosting service we are facing since yesterday and disabling the save as option is getting on my nerves as well but we needed to do something quick to be back online. E is working on a better solution for this problem so be sure this limitation won't last forever. For the problem when people use "[url = webaddress]click me[ / url ] coding" like you said, just quote the posting and you will see the entire link because the source text will be displayed when you quote somebody and you can copy it easily with CTRL + C then.
