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.

Yes but by persistence we found out why! There are just so many ways that things are being viewed now.

Well the credit goes to Chloe as she was the one who made it clear that it was going to her post, and of course the penny dropping with me that it was the browser causing it, never would have thought about that before but just recently I have had problems with IE8 viewing another programme so thought I would try Firefox and bingo it worked.

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.
[/quote]YW Mary. Thank you too. It reminded me that previous versions of the same browser don't necessarily work in the same way :)

Teacher!!!!See how quickly( this time!!!) i went straight to the Post!!!!!
and could not let all Marys hard work be buried in mists of time:):)

Hazel C said: 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!!

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
[/quote]Mike thank you, along with Kate you provided us with a very enjoyable time indeed. Thank you for not minding being laughed at. You both excelled in the end :))
