Hi Steve.
Yes i see what your saying, i only copy and paste the address as it appears in my address bar, i dont alter any part of it, and before posting a link i check out it authenticity as best i can so its a safe link.
In my late start in life on the web ive learned a fare bit, i only used free anti virus and other protection at first in my first few months, a couple of trips to the pc shop to reinstall my OS, taught me the hard way, i could not keep running up the pc shop every five minutes, so i use a pay for total protection program, its worth it to save the grief of keep forking out cash, and the inconvenience of reinstalling all my programs.
So i always check a site before posting a link, what happened to the one above, and not being able to access it i am not really sure, i guessed it might be the site altering the address destination, as i say i am not really sure.
Dave.
