Downloading files from the FB Official Archive
Downloading files from the FB Official Archive
Can someone explain how to download files from the FB Official Archive while logged in to the Forum?
I have been unsuccessful at doing this so far. Can't figure out what to click on to start a download.
Thanks in advance.

try this
you've probably solved it by now, but for the sake of other people who may encounter the same...
try this step by step process:
1. go to www.freebasic.net/arch. at the top of the page, you should find the two textboxes for username and password, and the Login and Register buttons.
2. (assuming cookies are enabled), type in those textboxes your forum username and password, and click login. (don't click register)
3. if the login was successful, you should see at the top the message "Logged in as Don", and beside it a "Logout" link.
(* if the login was unsuccessful, you'll be directed to an error page)
4. Click on a category, for example try "Miscellaneous".
5. Click on the file name, e.g. "sixmath.bas"
6. it will lead you to the file description screen. at the bottom there should be a "Download Now" link, it's just below the "Download Time" line.
7. click on "Download Now" to get the file.
