Out of curiosity, have I given the impression that I can change pages on this site?

Does the care and hospitality change the information contained within it? If it doesn't then it's just meaningless fluff and makes extract the needed content from a reply that much more difficult.

Oddly......... yes you do actually, for weeks I thought you were the site owner/creator until I came across Mr Harris.

alrighty, I've been resisting getting drawn into this cos it's not my argument and I don't wanna get banned. But as it's being discussed in a thread and not via PMs then I feel I can make a comment: that "meaningless fluff" is what some of our mamas taught us to know as politeness.

Yes, the 'meaningless fluff' is politeness, but it doesn't add information, it's simply a courtesy which I sometimes cannot be bothered to add. Also, you wouldn't get banned simply for arguing with me, if anything I would encourage the action.

Thats bizzare - he is linking off my webspace now and he still cant see it, but he can see mine?

Boboff, it might be the file is banned for some reason by your pc.

Try copying and pasting the link in the same way to this:

Fair enough console. I hate arguments both in real life and on message boards, so I have no desire to get into one with you or anyone else here. It does seem that this not bothering with politeness is what's getting other people (well, boboff in this case) irritated with you, but at least you're honest enough to admit that you can't be bothered with it.

Each to his own I suppose.
I just wish I could see my sig picture.
I know I have taken the [img] things out now as well, if I can't see it, I don't see why I should inflict my first attempt of Corel Draw on you guys !

Thank you all by the way for your help.

And Console, appreciate that you like to debate, and that it's not personal, and that Fluff is meaingingless, but it is polite, and generally, most people posting here are genuinely nice people ( even Gaspode who is sometimes gruff has a soft and fluffy underbelly !)

I miss him now !

without img tags


you've got the image tag wrong there, the slash should be before the 'img'

You need the '/' before the 'img' in the closing tag.

Are you using Firefox? If you are you may have blocked the image accidentally. You can check in the preferences under content => image exceptions.

How weird. It can't be the trailing slash cos we could see it? At least its sorted now tho.

Anyways.

I think it had something to do with cutting and pasting from the instructions the [img things] the spaces then took the paste of the link onto three lines, but it's odd you guys could see it but I couldn't.

Anyway tis done now thanks to you very clever and helpfull people (inc Console !)

Thanks again, I'll get working on a better version now I have proven the technology !
