Snaplinks for Dummies

[Kapvik]

So after years of doing things the hard way, I finally got Snaplinks. However it always takes me a few tries to make it work; either I open the right click dialog box and can't highlight links, or I can highlight links but only after I've released my trackpad button. How do I just highlight and open my links without the right click dialog box or anything else messing up the process?

thats odd i have snaplinks, all i do is hold down the right mouse button move the box over the links and let go and wala.....i never heard of anyone doing it that way before

For example, I just tried to use Snaplinks to open all your creatures in your signature. When I hold down the right mouse button, all I get is the right click dialog box. If I use my left hand to move my mouse while holding down the right click button, nothing happens. When I let the right click button go, I can move the mouse over the links and highlight them with red boxes, but since I let the button go there's nothing to release to open the links.

As noted if I take a few tries, eventually I can make Snaplinks work as intended, but by then it's taken almost as much time as it would to click the links individually. :/ How do I make this work in one shot?

What browser do you use?

[Kapvik]

I'm in Chrome right now.

ETA: Just tried Tinni's links; it took me 3 passes to make it work.

Try Link Clumps in Chrome

This may help you more than Snap links.

I have not had the time to update that page recently.

[Kapvik]

That is much better. Thanks!

im going to try this too!
I tried and it went to checking, then told me the network failed.

Link clumps works, I tried it on Tinni's mine. Chrome often lags when I open too many, but it sure recovers fast.

@Firebird maybe it's your connection or something, that problem shouldn't hang around for too long...

Well generally you should only try to open up to 200 links at a time. I'm on dial up, so my connection is slow, so I never exceed 200, but if you're having troubles, try 100 or 50 links at a time. Never try to click the whole mine, your PC will implode
