albert 135: I agree that there's less traffic now, although I don't know if that's just because few people know the forum exists, or if the system is more depersonalized. In the old days there was a strong feeling that one person, the inimitable Spike, was in charge, and that he was watching and listening. He might ignore the issue, but we felt he was there. Nowadays there's Josh sometimes, and Tamara sometimes, and a lot of the time we seem to be shouting into emptiness. It may be just the perception that the Gardenweb Member is now farther away from management and that suggestions won't be implemented. This is not true, in that I've seen several suggestions recently become reality (Lighting forum, collapse feature) so there is someone there. I guess what I'm saying is that there isn't the same feeling of "ownership" that used to exist. Of course, the "good old days" were always better.... Claire

Link by email has been whited out for me. Another way but slower is. Right click any website - left click properties - hold down on the Ctrl Key and left click the address. After it has changed color put your pointer on the color and right click it - left click copy. Open email and right click email face and left click paste. This sound worst than what it is. It's really easy. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/comphelp/msg0315260726848.html?1

I haven't run the scans on my colleagues computer yet but decided to try my own first. So the malwarebytes scan came up clean and the SUPERantispyware scan came up with some cookies and 2 trojans?

I'll try the free online scanner next as well.

you must be using firefox as your browser, for some reason hotmail will not fix this flaw, it will automatically create a clickable link if using Ie but not firefox. It is a true pain. But it is doable copy your link from the url bar of the page you want to link then paste that into your hotmail email, make sure it is still hilighted then click on the little icon in your email right above where you write that looks like a globe with a chain link on it, a box will open it will have http in it you need to delete that http then you need to right click on the box and paste your link into that box. OK. then the link in the email will become a live clickable link and be blue. You may have to try it a few times to get the hang of it. And to see the globe you have to have your email set on rich text not just plain text. Before they did all the supposed good changes to hotmail all you had to do was paste the url in the email and it was automatically live and clickable like it is on pretty much every other email client. We have been begging for this to be fixed for years now it does not look like it will ever happen. And it becomes terribly annoying when you are sending something with a long list of links. here is the hyperlink button you should see in your hotmail
