I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.
Tiger Signature
Good idea Tiger, was thinking about this myself.
We could do with a test thread to try out what seems to be going wrong.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Thank you Tiger.
OK, so of course, Chloe, because of the months of PC problems I had which finally resolved on the cusp of the new Osprey season and my need to use a new Profile on my PC, I can't find note pad. Grrrrrrr. Would OneNote work?
Hi Chloe , when I try to copy and paste a jpg into my signature box I get this error message.
An error occurred validating a field. Please go to the previous page and try again.
Also, you say I am able to change the size of the image . But I don't see how. There is nothing in the signature box to allow this. Did you mean I should do this in Photoshop or somewhere?
Sorry to be a pest
You will find Notepad in START>All Programmes>Accessories. You can add a shortcut from there to the start menu or taskbar..
Where are you copying/pasting the jpg from Cirrus?
The option to resize is only available when you actually have an image in the box, then it appears as a frame around the image that you can adjust with your cursor.
Don't worry, you are not a pest at all. I am always happy to help when I can :)
I have typed this in Word then copied and pasted directly into the rich text format reply box. Let’s see what happens when I post.
Ok so that worked. My next message will be done using the the box that opens when I click on the Word icon.
I have typed this in Word again and using the ‘Word box’
Very strange. It worked perfectly for me both ways.
I am doing a test to see whether using Word is affecting my smart links.
Insects
EDIT - well that's rubbish!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!

Make sure the box is empty before pasting something in there!
Alternatively highlight what is in the box before pasting!
