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.

OK deleting the 's' in 'https':
Now that doesn't make any sense to me but IT WORKS!! I thought maybe the 's' was for 'string' (as in html) and hadn't noticed it before you mentioned it....or is it Windows 7I wonder. Will try it with my son's XP when I have time and see if anything has changed. Or maybe it's YouTube - they change things from time to time. But THANK YOU DOGGIE - I would never have sussed it otherwise:-))
Oh lordy a double post to boot lol (I only clicked on reply once.....!)
Thanks Doggie. It must have always been there, then. It must be Windows 7 - though up 'til now it has been very like XP. I admit I don't take much notice of the addresses, just look for the padlock! Thanks again for your help :-))
Thanks doggie - great video too. When I get a recorder onto this laptop, I'll look at the address to see any difference to a download with Windows XP. I haven't had this laptop long and haven't recorded with it yet. The recording I uploaded today was dowloaded onto YouTube by Windows XP and accessed by this new Windows 7 laptop to get it onto the site. At any rate if all else fails I'll take out the 's' as that seems to work.
Ignore this, I'm trying something.

Nice pic LIMPY :)
Does anyone have any ideas about:
My PC screen won't turn off when my system unit is shut down !!! Button is green all the time I'm working online and WILL turn off when my system is up and running.
BUT, when I shut down and the screen goes black the button is still green (instead of amber). And then the screen goes to flashing different colours - red - blue -yellow - green .
Of course I unplug it from the mains socket and that's that ... but ??????????????/
OMG DOGGIE . Shutting down whilst I take that in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
How is your computer now Cirrus? Did you manage to sort out what was causing the problem?

I know I'm not Cirrus (as if it's clever of me to know who I'm not :o ), but I did hear that she'd made great progress with it :-)

LOL scylla :))
Thanks. It all sounded so bizarre that I was curious as to what was wrong.
