That wasn’t meant to be joining in the complaints. I love the format here- esp the absence of ads. Wrt to technology, I can’t find my behind with both hands, a flashlight & a map.

I was saying to Yaelle that it was such a simple, obvious solution that I use all the time, anyway. Why not here, too?

I don’t disagree with you, but it’s a economic issue. FR needs bigger servers and that costs a lot of money, and that is a real pain to transfer all that stuff over smoothly, I remember when we went through the last server change it took days to get it up and running right. Since FR is privately owned and totally supported by donations ads are not needed nor would we want them.

Especially when only 2 men do all the work. On days when big news stories break it’s hard to access FR to get the real news as it is. Means up grading Windows too I suspect.

Many of us still are using Win 7. This laptop is Win 7 Professional and I’ve still not learned all it can do. And has a split for XP to run and old CAD program.

I can operate simple programs, but trouble shooting is beyond me. My husband taught it for 20 yrs as a JR College Prof. And basically did the same for 20 yrs in the Navy. But he’s not kept up with the software end since retiring. His daughter owns her own IT business and if he can’t fix something she has us press a button and she takes over the computer and fixes it.
