Winston66,
acouple of times last night whilst trying to preview a new posting, upon pushing the preview button all of my input for the post dissapeared,I guess that I did something wrong, or has my new laptop gone funny on me,
Cheers ,Winston66

I find the Forum becomes very slow and brittle after 11:30pm or so.  There's probably site maintenance like backing-up etc going on.

yup you have to scroll up to see it.


Also after writing everything I need to I also select all and copy just in case something goes wrong and it will save you having to retype it

Also you can then paste it into word to have the spelling checked

Thanks guys ,unfortunatly I still have to work out how this cut,and paste thing works as, well as how to send stuff with including links and things.
I guess that I will have to come out of retirement and go back to school again.
That is if I can find one that will have me.
Cheers,
