Hi Bob,

I have spent the last 10 minutes trying to follow the instructions re shinking that link!  AGAIN!  Lost count of the number of times I have tried to make it work!

Yes it does it work, but I have to copy and paste it afterwards.  I cannot get anything on my toolbar at all! Try as I might!

I now have shinking links in my favourites in at least three places!  Please just put the icon on the rootschat page and put idiots like me out of our misery!

Thanks!  Fingers Crossed!  You lot are too clever for me!

There is a link at the bottom of every RootsChat page

So you don't need it in your toolbar, as long as you are in RootsChat  Smiley

Hi All

Why is it that sometimes I can shrink a link copy it and paste it onto a reply and then other times it won't let me paste the link? The copyright warning box appears.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Evie

You can't paste onto Look-Up boards: this is to prevent posting of copyright material.

You can use the Control+V command to post instead though.

Kind regards, Arranroots  Wink

Please excuse me Arranroots for coming straight to the horse's mouth, but whenever I try to shrink a long website and copy it to paste in the shorten bit.  That works just fine   Cool

However, when I try to copy the shortened one, I seem to copy more than I need, is this because I am not doing it properly? Or because I am not handling my mouse correctly?

I would love to know why this happens. I am always having to delete the bits I don't want, sometimes they creep in after I have posted, because I have not noticed them  Embarrassed

Hi Arranroots,

Thank you for your reply which is very much appreciated.

I will wait to see if I hear from Bob, if not I will send him a PM.
