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.

It still works! Now you can teach everyone else :) :)
or maybe just show off how you can do posh links!
Hi Tiger thanks for your patience im not the quickest of learners with anything technical, i don't know so much about teaching any one else i think i will leave that to you for now any way

Teaching requires two things
1. The teacher to believe in the pupil
2. The pupil to believe in the teacher
Then it becomes perfectly easy.
I take it that you BELIVED in me then i had my doubts that i could do it but i never give up i don't give up easily

Ah my mantra is that even a mouse can learn! :)
I would say that persistance is a very important part of learning.
Thanks again Tiger going to dish tea up as OH is chopping at the bit
Afternoon All is anybody else having troble with the main blog page mine looks strange
ALICAT - First may I congratulate you for mastering that posh plink - I have read this forum over and over again last night and can not seem to manage it and have not a clue what is wrong.
No problem with posting a link in Use Rich Formantting as you can see.

Where I have a problem is making this into a posh link. I click on the Insert/Edit Link and open the box but whatever I do nothing happens.
The box - link url - has in it the link in normal format as shown above..
Anchors has nothing
Target has - Open in this windows frame
Title Has nothing
TIGER talks of a gunge box and you have to clear a gunge box - I do not have a box marked gunge.
I probably will need talked thro this to achieve it rather that read the forum which makes no sense to me as it may as well be in a foreign language.
After all my brother who is also a teacher says if you just bought the book and read it there would be no need for teachers.
I NEED HELP from any person who can spare a few minutes and if I can not master it will give up.
Hi Keith,
it took me a while but i got there in the end lets see if this helps,
when doing your post first click on rich formatting this brings up the box that you put you post in type in here your posh link
then highlight it then then right click that brings up copy paste ect.. click on copy then at the top of the text box are some icons click on the chain icon that then brings up the url box where it says url link make sure that is cleared and type in your posh link then clear it out of the url link box then type in you web address you wat to use including the http:// before the www.ect... leave anchors and title blank but the target has a pull down box click on the arrow then select open in a new window(blank) then select insert after inserting press post should then have linked what you put in the text box to your post im not very good at explaining things but hope you understand what i was trying to say and that it helps let me how you get on
