You can change the location of the Wired Journalists Toolbar on your browser by clicking and dragging the vertical separator bar to the left of the Wired Journalists icon by placing the Wired Journalists Toolbar in the desired location.

Please note that, as with all of Internet Explorer's toolbars, you can only move the Wired Journalists Toolbar to locations on the top of your browser window. Toolbars can not be placed on the side or bottom of the browser window.

Why don't I see the Wired Journalists Toolbar listed in the Internet Explorer toolbars list?

I'm trying to uninstall the Wired Journalists Toolbar but keep getting an error message. What should I do?

Why did I get a page that says "The page you're looking for was not found"?

 
If your community toolbar is currently active and you got to a page with the message "The page you're looking for wasn't found" next to the logo and name of your toolbar publisher, it means the following: Your community toolbar has detected that the page you were navigating to was not found, so you got to an alternative, more helpful Search page instead of the generic page usually displayed (called a 404 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_error) or DNS error page). Your search automatically appears, so you can just click Search to try again. If you'd rather, you can type in a different search. To disable this feature, please click the Toolbar Options item in the drop-down menu under your toolbar's logo, open the Additional Settings tab, and clear the check box next to the text Fix "page not found" errors. Please note that this feature may not be available for all community toolbars.
