Hi, all. Welcome to a new week!
Unknown said: OK Tiger . This is what I do (and I have finally managed to find the Report a Fault forum and have reported it as a fault.) I type my responses in Word on my PC. Then, I click on Use Rich Formatting to open the big reply box with with Word Icon . I click on the icon to open the window and then past in my text Ctrl/V from my PC. Finally, I click on Insert. Isn't this the way it works??? I feel a little like Margo right now. Frustrated that I'm causing problems by doing what I THINK is the correct thing

Yes but where does it lock up? When you finally try to make the post?
Tiger Signature
The thing is, until they fix the bug it is best to use an alternative, like uncomplicated old Notepad.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Where can we try it for ourselves without clogging up threads?
It locks up on ''Insert'' - I click on the word and nothing happens. I manage to paste my text into the window and then .... nothing. The link INSERT (or whatever it is called) just won't work.
I'll use note pad or just type in this box like everyone else Chloe. Thanks

I have now started a Technical Test Thread. for continuing this discussion.
Oh Lindybird Just read about your aged neighbour's fall. Poor lady. When my OH falls, he can't get up again and can be stuck for ages if he doesn't have his mobile phone. I'm not sure if the emergency call button would help - couldn't have someone other than family letting him or gerself in when the dogs are running about. Hope your neighbour is none the worse for her experience.
Hi Cirrus, thank you for your welcome the other day. I loved your patchwork pony!
Cirrus - I am so sorry you are having such trouble posting. But calm down and watch your blood pressure! As with most stuff on the computer, "there is more than one way to skin a cat", as OH always tells me (with apologies to all moggy-lovers!). I find the fast reply button at bottom of page adequate to fire off a quick response. If I want to use bold, spellchecker, insert etc, I do it with rich formatting but not inserting from Word - so I only use Word if I want a separate window open to refer back to posts I am replying to.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Reading you loud and clear OG :) Woodpecker on a different forum said the box does work and so die mpie(somthing or other) on the Tech Forum . So, I'm going to have another go . Ahem
OK so it hasn't worked on this particular forum
