I used to be able to click on a link within a thread, say a link to an indicator, and select either Save or Run. I always Saved it to the desktop where the indi became an icon. I could then open the appropriate folder(s) and drag the icon into it. Now when I click I get a little box at the bottom of the page, same options, but when I click Save I have no idea where it went! I have searched folders, documents, My Computer - where are they and how do I get them into the mt4 Custom Indi.? Thank you.

When you click the link it comes up at bottom of window as you mentioned.
Click on arrow to right of the file name.
It gives you the option to 'show in folder'
So there it is !!!

OR
In browser set the default download folder to one that you can remember/find.

btw, this forum software does not seem to properly handle the posting of backslashes.

notice that my path names, above, are missing the backslashes..

anyways.
The forum engine apparently sees a backslash as an escape character. Either use forward slashes; or type double backslashes; or subsequently edit your post to insert the backslashes.

As I threatened I am back; a down arrow is in the "Save" box & I have 3 choices - Save, Save as, & Save and open. Should I instead look at the browser option? (That will be a kick given my Win7 knowledge)
