apology in advance
Hi  all,  Seem to have pushed a wrong button somewhere, and now cannot access firefox.    Have had to use google to come int ozion and also find cannot edit any correspondence once it is posted.  It's amazing how one does not see te spelling erors   until  later.      With the hot weather we are having  cannot expect my computer fix-it man to come from Wakerie to fix it,  so will have to work around the problem.     There is/was an interesting discussion going on in one of the threads, but with being unable to edit  any replies, and not seeing spelling , grammer errors until posting ,  would be prudent not to post replies,  in case of misunderstandings which may arise.
Its going to be a difficult week for me          Ps  at least the smiley's are back       I had lost them too

Try using the preview function before posting, to pick up spelling / typo / grammar slips.

When you type a post into forum or reply in a thread, down the bottom you have a 'confirm' button (which submits the message) and next to it a 'preview' button.  It allows you to see what you have typed just as it will appear in forum.  Any errors can then be attended to before you submit what you have typed.   Takes a wee bit longer, but if you are like me.... you need it!!

Thanks for that.  Am  a wee bit reluctant to press buttons,  (manage to do it without trying)   as the usual result is a fragmented letter or no letter at all.   Banging the computer up and down on the table doesn't seem to help either  Or re-booting it (around the room)    and then having to stick the cables all back into their right holes

Unfortunately I read lifey's post as well. Never noticed it before, but now I know.
