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.

tBol Well done. You have discovered another of my secrets. That is exactly how I can find my way through masses of pages.
It is the old computer searching algorithim. Spilt the deck in half and ask which part the target is in. Then do it again etc. Finds things quickly.
Yes that is how I do it TBoL :)

Just a quick recap of how to make a posh link.
Assuming you have copied the URL you want to turn into a posh link, follow steps below:
1. Click on 'use rich formatting'
2. Type out a title for your posh link
3. Highlight the title word(s) by drawing your cursor across them
4. Click chain-link icon in editor bar
5. When window opens delete any words in the 'link url' box then right-click and paste your url into the box. Once you get used to doing this you can simply highlight the words in the box and paste over them. What you must not do is leave any words or spaces in the box. It should contain your URL and nothing else.
6. If you want your new posh link to open in a new window then from the dropdown menu in the 'target' box choose 'open in new window' otherwise leave it as it is.
7. Click 'INSERT'
Yes Tiger and ChloeB, it was so pleasing to discover that 'GOTO' technique. The other forum I was a member of had a 'goto page x' facility. It was so frustrating here not to be able to skip through large threads...until now :-D

Well you are the first to ask. It is always good to look for ways of making shortcuts.
It is always great to discover something new isn't it? :)
The 2359hr blackout is real, it's not just me! Phew! Robert the Bruce just kindly watched it thru with me and confirmed that the stream does go down at that time and revives at 0000hr. I recorded it but didn't refresh until over a minute after the appropriate time, so I've chopped out nearly all the black screen.
I am so relieved!!! But it doesn't solve the problem of how to avoid black screen video all night if I'm not awake to refresh the browser. Auto-refresh will bring back the picture un-zoomed :-( I suppose I'll have to record Carnyx* at night with the progress bar messily interfering with the timeline :-(
*The Carnyx stream does go down but at least it will refresh at full size, I anticipate.
Carnyx only started doing this about 2 weeks ago, I'll have to pluck up courage to write to them about it :-(

Now I know what it means by Twitter going wild. It is going wild right now. Not with osprey news I fear.
