Debra That explanation was good enough for me! I have seen a few mentions to "message number..." and wondered how they knew!!! Thanks for that - I will keep a note of my own messages in future so I can find them again to keep a note on the replies.

Ah yes the key number thing. But the thing is I always forget to write down the number. and sometimes I like to have a good old look back to see if I have missed some good tips. Viv if you look on the above address bar and read along it says a number this one is 338201, to get back to that thread if you are somewhere else you go to the address bar and put them on the end and it should take you to that thread, Not very well explained but the best I can do.

Debra, I thought you had previously written about the "key number" in the address bar. This still works for me. :-)

Debra, I suspect this was intentional as it solves the problem of an ever expanding database. Crista

Just realised that the new set up is easier to find a page but it only goes back 15 pages to the 25th of October. Some people like to go back further to look. Is there another way to go back more or am I missing something and all the old tips have been lost forever. Debbie
