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.

Thanks Tiger and Doggie - but I have found it!!! Yahoo by just putting certain things in the search box? I am learning fast LOL.... Also your tip about using the filter link is also good, especially as I dont often use the community home page, the only thing is would it bring up ALL my LG discussions? as that could be a problem as when I am here I tend to prattle on a lot LOL...

The whole key is to get the right number of hits. You do not want none and you do not want millions. You want the Goldilocks solution "Just right".

Fingers wrapped LOL - yes you are right its about searching, and with your help I found what I was looking for. LOL - I typed in reporting Whimbrell and MaryGK - and up it popped amongst a lot of others, but when I searched before for just Whimbrel couldnt find it. So SUCCESS, now we need Keith to read all this too as he always is talking about trying to find things quick...
You are right, when I put in Whimbrel it brought up millions of hits, so even although there was a lot of hits when I put in what I mentioned above, it brought up my discussion on the first page.
Mary Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.....teach him how to fish and feed him for a lifetime!
Maybe give him a comorant :)
Another Lesson learned - Thank YOU Tiger and Doggie - and all before 07.40 am - I knew there is a good reason for getting up early LOL
OK a very happy lassie this morning, I am off to find that Whimbrel discussion again LOL.... and put Nethy's photo in GBNF page. Its always good to learn something new, (remember posh links Tiger) but I got it quite quickly in all fairness LOL....

You are very wicked, TIGER! Just for that I'll tell you that you did a "hyper(p)hagia" with your "co(r)morant". They're not spello's, they're what I do too, being too light-fingered on the keyboard ;-D
I don't suppose Doggie would know how to change the dates in GE from (eg) 30 August 2012 ~to~ 30-08-12? :-)
