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.

Kate2 - so funny .... I am sure that was the longest lesson in the history of the Technical Thread LOL.... I think you & Mike may have stopped for lunch or dinner during it though, so maybe the downtime shouldnt count ROFL.....

Chloe the good thing about yesterday's discovery of it being the Browser Choice causing my link to a post (FOR ME) going to the top of the page,
is that although it didnt work for me, it worked for everyone else, so thats the main thing. Tks again for helping me out with it.

Yes far from being frustrating it was very enjoyable. The lesson of Sunday 23 September 2012 will always be one of the most enjoyable one as far as I am concerned. What was really good was you and Mike putting your new skills to use ever since.
Also it gave us the time to get to know ya! :)
Also it inspired a new lesson index
Very Nifty Index Tiger - but alas I still have to scroll down to find the relevant post, so annoying, but at least I know why its happening now

Yes but by persistence we found out why! There are just so many ways that things are being viewed now.
Thanks again to all concerned with showing me how to find & use my clipboard (& do posh posting). It would have saved me hours in the past of repetitive typing when I've been entering old observations on the site (listing the same 3 or 4 observers for numerous observations!!) It's great though when you learn something new, gives you a real boost, the smile stayed on my face all day, I even managed to come from a street down to beat my husband at crib, definately my day!!
Best wishes

Just think of all the practice you got by typing those links. I dread to think how often they did not work.
Posts like this more than repays any time spent on teaching these things. I will added it tomy commendation list. I keep a list of links to all the nice commendations.
Of course the one thing I am asked so often is how do I find things so quickly.
There are three things to this.
1. Searching technique
2. A well ordered filing system
3. My memory

You are quite right Mary we did stop in the middle as, in my case friends were coming !!. However I'm sure Kate is happy to be classed as a 'record holder' along with me particularly as it has caused such amusement !.LoL
Birdies LG DU update.

It was definitely such fun. Just as well we did not know it was going to go on for over six hours. It was possibly the "shortest" six hours of my life. Still it shows what can be done when one does not give up.

Mike, you always make me smile, it was when you said "what is a clipboard" that I knew this was going to be the lesson of all lessons, LOL - however the main thing was that you mastered the technique and have used it many times since, so well done you. Hey you even got a poster to mark the momentous occasion LOL....
