    I'm not in front of my PC right now but I believe you do the following:

    start up rFactor and go to Join Server window, find the CMS server you want to log onto and log onto it. Once you're in the CMS server below the chat window there is a vote Yes and No button, click the button between them and another window will open up. On the right side of the list you will see a button that says Bookmark, click on it and it should create a bookmark for the server your in.

    To check to see if it worked, log off of the CMS server and in the online server selection area click on the My Bookmark button (I believe that's what it's called, cant remember for sure) up at the top and a window should open up with the server you bookmarked. Double click on it and the Join button should come up if the server is online, if the server is offline the Join button will not display.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks Dave,

    That did work, but I still have one problem. I assume that we are "suppose" to be able to have more than one bookmark but....I have noticed that if I bookmark a server and it is in my list of bookmarks, the next time I bookmark a new server it takes the place of the previous one that I had instaed of adding to my list.

    Any way of having more than one bookmark?

    If you mean that you are trying to bookmark two CMS server it could be they might have the same server name. Try going onto a different non passworded server and bookmark it to see if it works (of course you'll have to find one that has a mod and track you've got installed)

    I noticed that its just cms servers that have issues being bookmarked. Sometimes you have to do it a few times to get it to stay but then its gone a few times later. Dont know why......other servers I mark stay.

    Thanks for the info Dave,that worked ok for me,and I can add all of the CMS servers to the list now by joining them in turn and bookmarking them.
    Tip for Brian:
    When you have bookmarked all of the CMS servers,always go out of rfactor and then back in to change from one CMS server to another CMS server as they all have the same IP but different ports for each.
    So if you try just clicking without going out of rfactor,the ports don`t get updated to the server you want.
    If you view your bookmarks xml file in an xml viewer the servers are shown to be using different names and ports,but the same IP.
    Joe.

    One thing I do remember from last season for those who use the boomarks: If for whatever reason the server goes down/is reset/ whatever, if the div are not put back up in the exact order our bookmarks will be incorrect due to IP assigment. Is this correct? For instance, at this moment the 4th and last server in order is the Fun series. This would normaly be the WD.

    I beleive the order is typicly: NA, DDP, Fun, WD, with the DC taking the place of either the NA or WD depending on whos turn it is?

    I do not think that the order is important to the bookmarks as each vitual server has the same IP but uses a different port assignment.
    But the name of each server must not be changed,as that is what is listed in the rfactor bookmarks list.
    So the server name and the port are the deciding factors.

    Like this:

    -
    -
    Champion ILMS 2010RC3
    207.179.212.205
    34297



    -
    Champion Fun Series
    207.179.212.205
    34299





    etc.
