What's the New "Pager" Icon About? (Vanity Request for Help)
Free Republic

Posted on 12/07/2003 4:31:44 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I noticed this morning that a little speaker icon had popped up next to my screen name, and when I let the browser settle on it, the word "pager" appears. When I click on it, it just takes me to my comments, same as clicking on "New Messages."

Could someone please explain this innovation? Thanks.

If you are java enabled it gives you a small pop up alerting you to mail or messages.

I clicked on it and came right back to the same page. I'm sure it has SOME purpose!

Thanks, though I'm still a little confused. Since either "new messages" or "mail" would turn bold if I had mail or new posts, what does the speaker icon add?

And after clicking on it my 'back' button doesn't work. It keeps returning me to the same page.

I could tell you but it would spoil the fun of remotely erasing your C: drive.

You need to put your ear up against the icon on the screen .... Then you can hear it.

Uh, I've got my ear right up against it. It's kind of faint, but I'm pretty sure I can make it out: "all your base is belong to us."

When I click on it I get various Christmas Carols. They are very faint, how do I control the volume?

I think everyone should stop playing with it.
You don't know where it's been.
