Now I am totally confused - it's my age!

What happens when you press the ADD button?

I've done that too, Allan. I've also found that with this new system that I've hit Preview and lost the whole post too. I do like the drop down boxes for Community and Messages etc.

Tec on my set up, previously I would press 'add' and it took me to the top of the posts, where I then had to press 'Reply' to get the empty message block.

Now if I press 'add' I am taken straight to the empty message box but it is at the bottom of the posts.

Also the font is larger!

So now i can use either of the two buttons,

Oh well, not a single number on the lottery draw.
I bet that was a really special hug Carole
Good night everyone, sleep well, or have a good day.

Carole - when I told my OH he said " that's going to be hard for all of you - you're such a tight knit group and will feel the loss". I didn't think he would altogether understand the dynamics of this group of people although he is a caring person. The only internet socialising he does is with family.

Goodnight Linda - sleep well.

I have just received this message from Diane. She has asked that I put this on our thread.

Just want to add to the rest of your messages in saying how sad it is to hear about our Alison. She was a lovely lovely bush girl and it was a priviledge to have known her, I send my best wishes to her sons and her husband and my condolences to all of her family. She was a beautiful person and I enjoyed her humour and admired her strength, may she r.i.p.

(((((((((((((((((( big hug for you all )))))))))))))))

Love to all of you Diane xxx

A big hug and love to you too Diane.

Aha, Allan! When I press Add at the bottom of a post, the Reply box appears immediately under that particular post. Is this what you mean?
Simple reason for me not knowing this before - I never click on the word Add! I always use the mouse to go sraight up to the Reply box at the top. I have a wheel on the mouse and don't use that either.

That's typical for me. I should know from the work I did that there is usually at least two ways to do everyting on a computer - one of the first things I learned about them!

I've tried having the last post first on page one, but it doesn't seem to 'hold' there. It goes OK for a while, then reverses back to what it was before. Is there a way of making it stay that way?

That's it Berona, but on my system it has only just started doing that this morning,

Please don't ask me about anything else I'm a Technomoron!

Sue, how do you open two windows at once: I can't seem to do that.

Hi Diane......(((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))) to you - take care

Berona, Did you read the THINGS poem I put up for you?

Carole, You said you had been unwell with a bug - are you better?

Hi Tec

I am feeling a little better, this bug has been going around town. I suppose like anything, it has to run its course.

Tecwyn Report 24 Feb 2010 23:17

Carole, I hope you get really better soon - must be miserable, especially if it's very hot where you are

Allan, I'm a better technomoron than you, I got honours with mine.

Been driving a car for 52 years, but no idea why it moves......
Turn on the engine, twiddle the pedals, not all at once, twiddle the gear stick, and away we go.

Never got to grips with the Infernal Combustion Engine - very sad.

Well all,

I had better go as I have to go to Collie this morning to do a job I promised someone that I would do.

it was foisted on me a couple of weeks ago and instead of saying No, I said yes.

So a hundred kilometre round trip in the heat to an old hall built over onehundred years ago, with no a/c, and trying to remember over twelve pages of words without the help of a book!

Remind me to tell you about our Galah.
