Tech Question: Where did my Toolbar Thumbnails go?

Posted on 05/25/2010 8:12:12 AM PDT by RangerM
I'm using IE8, and after a recent Windows update, the thumbnails (Google toolbar) that used to appear when I opened a new tab, no longer appear.
Is there a setting I need to look for?
Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: google; ie8; thumbnail; toolbar
Thanks for you help.

Right click on the toolbar (up top) and click on the toolbar you want added. The ones being used have a checkmark, the others have nothing next to it. I had to reset my toolbars after the update too.

What I’m saying is the Google Toolbar is still there, but the thumbnails (website previews) that used to appear when I opened a new tab no longer appear.
While I was surfing around (a minute ago), I saw a reference to this feature being “retired”, but I didn’t have confirmation.
It was a really good feature to me. Don’t know why it would be retired.

It could be because that feature is built into Windows 7.

feature being retired
That is one reason I hate updates and upgrades.
Programmers change features and eliminate features. Many times, that feature was the main reason I used that particular program. I have quit using many programs over the years for that very reason. Sometimes, there are alternate programs; sometimes not.

Chuck Norris does not belong to “Fight Club”. Chuck Norris belongs to “Not Even Close To Being A Fair Fight Club”.
