EEK...one day I'll have to refer to this scylla but I don't have VLC installed.

Anyway, just thought I'd chip in... ;-P

Ha ha ha ah BADGIE   ROFL

Hi Keith, I use 'Open in new window'. The resulting behaviour varies with your browser and it's settings. In Internet Explorer I get a new window with original windows and tabs preserved. In FireFox I get a new tab opened next to the one with the link.

Someone else might give a better answer later.

A quick easy one for you experts.

When posting a posh link which option do you choose to allow the link to open minimised on top of the original post without loosing the original page.

When I do it - it closes my original page and opens a complete new web page to the link and it is annoying me.

Not quite sure what you mean here Keith when you say minimised. Have you tried using target option 'open in new window' which should open the link in a new tab or window?

I suppose it depends on what browser you are using. I use IE9

Snap TBOL :)

Just tried 'open in parent window' for first time and ended up with two identical tabs, both of which were the web address of the posted link. Won't be using that again. :)

Ignore this post it is just a test.

Chloe/TBOL Thanks your advice works even though I did not explain it very well to you.

I had been using "Open in this window" all the time and it knocks out the original window.

I shall blame my original tutor of POSH LINKS - LOL. Thank you Chloe and BOL.

A successful link Keith and it showed me that LG have apologised for poor broadband on that page. I hope you got the result you were after :-)

I've noticed for a week or so that if I hover mouse over some (my?) images I see an "a" icon, and when I hover over that it says "click to edit in Aviary" - but when I do, the whole page is covered in grey shadow and nothing else happens, I have to refresh the page to get out of it.

I am here after following your link - have wonderful shot of kestrels at Arne about 5 mins ago and saved it in paint as JPEG so how do I get it to website?????
