Ahhhhhh soooooooo......

I am going to have a sleep on this, put it in my Log Book and save for future reference.

Two more questions and then a bit of study time.

1. Do you physically change the post number ( 0#14 ) in the url?

2. Does this work in sending a PM to any member?

Re:2: If so, I just may practice by sending one to you to see if I have it worked out.

I'm guessing that the 'don't' doesn't belong there....

Yeah, sorry, slight case of information overload.....

I will have a sleep on it before attempting a reply using PM.

Thanks very much for that, I've been wondering about that Link thing for a while now.....

I owe you a beer.

No worries.  There are a couple of other tricks as well on the PM thing.

(BTW.....I'm sure there are others here who probably can get you there quicker than I can....but I reckon the baby step.....one at a time.....is the way to go.  I had to learn by being given simple instruction without www/IT language which the clevah dickies can't get around.)

Baby steps work fine for me.
As I said, I will write the steps down in my Log Book and Then have a go at it.
Will sleep on it first....
Expect a head's-up any time in the next week.
