Thank you for telling me you can see it- I looked at another Scozz posted the other day and that did not work either ???

I assumed it was something to do with it coming from Australia

Apologies - and I only posted to show some support as I notice many look but do not always respond.

That's a very interesting article, Scozz. There was a bit about it on the news, but not as much detail.

Autumn - are you in England? I don't think there would be copyright issues with an article in The Daily Mail. It's a British publication.

Do any links work for you, or is it just Scozz's that don't?

Here's another link for you to try. It's nothing in particular - just chosen at random.

Thank you Andysmum,

I am not sure what is going on with my laptop at the moment. I got onto your site ok put in just a surname and the page went blank.

I went to Scozz again and the Daily Mail page just freezes on me tried again and managed to read about Nessie. and saw the photos of the Goanna on Scozz post.

Have been getting many suggestions that I update to Windows 10 , but been reluctant to do so after reading where others are not happy with it.

In any case I am an elderly technophobe and rely on my son to sort me out. Poor Man !!

Feeling a bit down at the moment, so appreciate your kindness in trying to help-thank you.

I don't have Windows 10 .............. or any other improvement since we bough this computer in 2003. so I am a real dinosaur :-)

It MIGHT have to do with the browser that you are using

Are you using Microsoft Internet Explorer??

I had to give up on that several years ago, and I downloaded Mozilla Firefox ..... for free

Others download Chrome, which is also free

I don't have a cell 'phone, and I don't want one! I used to have one for work, and was happy to give it back. DH has one for work.... not much good where we live, we seem to be surrounded by black holes. :-0

The DM site carrys loads of adverts. Sometimes our PC freezes while it tries to load them. That may be why you're having problems. I know if I tried to view on our 1st generation iPad, the whole thing would crash.
