JULY 2018:

- delete csv column
Some "older" Thread "revived" by some new Advanced User on the Forum (@JamesBassdrop) posting one Solution on how to deal with an empty (first) Cell in a Row shifting Cells/Cols from one '.CSV' to another '.CSV'.". (The Thread then got a bit "polluted" at the end by some "casual" Chat Conversation, oops...!)

SEPTEMBER 2018:

- How to close the iMacros Browser?
Some older Thread originally from 2014 for which I did again some Testing and posted an Update, 4 years later, about which Techniques and Syntax still work or not with "current" Versions (all Browsers). This Thread is also about a "Conditional CLOSE", and contains as well a List of (all) related Threads on the Forum.

A new Sub-Forum was created this month for Installation and Licensing Issues/Qt's for all 4 Browsers and their 'Free' or 'PE' Version. ('PE' = 'Personal Edition'). Older/existing Threads also get "slowly" moved to this Sub-Forum when I encounter some "by chance"...
