the forum automatically reads your post and decides if it's too long winded, rambling or without a coherent point.

If it took you an hour to write, there is every chance this filter kicked in and jsut decided to bin your post!!!!  ;D

Bless you, George  ;D It's frustrating, and it's happened to me before. If you're gonna write an essay like, do it in notepad or Ms Word first, then if the post disappears, you haven't got to type it all over again, just cut and paste it.

George has tried and tried to get the hang of cut and paste but its difficult to teach him via email! If I lived nearer I'd pop round and show him.

Are you using a laptop with one of these stupid pad thingies instead of a proper mouse?  I HATE it, so I have a mouse connected.  The pad thing puts stuff all over the place! ::)

George, you are not computer illegitamate!! I think you do really well, just need to get you to cut and paste, will make it so much easier for you!

Post by: doganjo on March 05, 2010, 09:19:02 pm
or even copy and paste - is that easier to understand?  Highlight a word on your next post, George, then press the ctrl button on your keyboard and hold it down while you press the letter C.  Then further down oin you post press the ctrl button again, hold it down and press the letter V.  I'll do it with the word highlight in the first line of this post.

Highlight

OK, so you can cut but not paste?  That's easy too.  When you cut something it's also copied into the memory so you can then open a reply box and paste it in.

Annie love I think you may have cracked it for me.So I forget my cut altogether and open a new page where I want it to appear and click paste and it miraculously appears on the new page ? Right so I shall have a play a little later.I didn't realise that was where it went Oh I have struggled and all but shed tears.Dear dear GeorgeXXXX True joke Annie I have a pal called Anne-Marie I met her on RCC like I've met you and our pals on here She is an English lass moved to Au with her parents years ago She and her OH Richard have a holding at Hoddles Creek and the joke was she always got XXXX when every other lady friend got XXX because Australians cannot spell beer thats why it has Castlemain XXXX on the tinny.So you have been upgraded to level top thats two Annies
