What will also work is using the ‘Post reply’ link above the ‘Subscribe’ link on the right-hand side near the top of the page (next to the ‘RSS topic feed’ link to the right of the orange RSS icon). What doesn’t work for this is the ‘Quick reply’ message box at the bottom of the page, because there’s no ‘Attachments’ file browser and no option to display one.
If I visit the BT website home page at https://www.bt.com and scroll down to the footer, there’s a ‘Contact BT’ link (to https://www.bt.com/about/contact-bt) on the left. The target page reveals the number 0330 1234 150 for Home customers.
Welcome, Chris. I’m sorry that recent events necessitated your first post here being on such a sad subject.
I wonder if this is something to do with the security of the YouTube links. If WPX6 generates links that use http:// instead of https:// you may well find that some browsers will block them by default. Pressing Alt+S within WebPlus will allow to inspect and copy the code generated by the YouTube widget, and if it’s missing the ‘s’ from the protocol you can paste the code into the Body section of an HTML Code Fragment object, edit it accordingly and delete the redundant YouTube object.
Before I forget again: a belated welcome to my merry little band!

What search terms did you use, and why are you searching in the first place? What happens if you go directly to the website by entering the site address in your browser’s address bar?
Are you using the Safari browser on your iPad? Have you tried an alternative such as Firefox?

In your original post you wrote:
Wolstan Dixie wrote:I wish to directly edit the HTML of a page. There is a facility to edit SOME of the HTML - those bits deemed 'editable'. I want to edit the other bits.
That made it sound as though you wanted complete freedom to edit the HTML. If all you want to add is meta tag information such as keywords and a site description, you can do so via ‘Page Properties’.

Why can’t people write proper English? It seems too much to expect of our major broadcasters nowadays.
It was Charles, not his footsteps, who became the Prince of Wales in 1958.
While the title is not automatic, William needed to be created so by his father. The same stands for the Earl of Chester.
William needed to be created Prince of Wales by his father because, not ‘while’, the title is not automatic.

That’s apparently not made up by LATW! Coronation Street was in the script of Under Milk Wood given to the BBC in 1950.

GB wrote:Charles is not King of Wales.
How so, Geoff? Charles is King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Wales is part of the United Kingdom, so — setting aside the fact that some (many?) of the people of Wales don’t want anything to do with him — Charles is its King.
Copy the entire page source, add an HTML page and paste the copied code to the added page. Remove the original (partially editable) page.
William wrote:the shop is part of a multishop chain that has lots of shops in England
Why is that relevant, William? You may be aware that a commercial website operating in Germany, Austria or Switzerland is legally required to include an “Impressum” disclosing information about the owner, regardless of whether or not that owner is based in a German-speaking country. In much the same way, it seems self-evident that if a business is operating in Wales it should do so in line with the laws and customs of Wales, regardless of whether it has lots of shops in England, few shops in England, or none at all.
William wrote:In text, I said that I was adding a symbol that means Welcome in any language and a curator approached and asked if it could be used in a display. And, in text, I added the Thank you for visiting symbol.
Your meaning would be more immediately clear if you could bring yourself to add punctuation and/or style the text of your posts. I think the first symbol you were adding means “Welcome” rather than “Welcome in any language”. Likewise, I infer that you then added the “Thank you for visiting” symbol, although what you’ve written here is all too easily read (at least by me!) as “Thank you for visiting symbol”.
You also need a comma after “any language”. I would have written the same words as either
In text, I said that I was adding a symbol that means “Welcome” in any language, and a curator approached and asked if it could be used in a display. And, in text, I added the “Thank you for visiting” symbol.
or

Digikits don’t need bringing back. The DaisyTrail Shop has gone but the kits you have should continue to function as long as CraftArtist does, and you can still create your own kits if you feel so inclined.
Serif have made it clear that they have completely abandoned the ‘Plus’ applications, of which CraftArtist is one despite the absence of ‘Plus’ from its name. Their legacy software range is Windows-only and very ‘long in the tooth’, and as such there wasn’t a good business case for them to continue development and there certainly wouldn’t be a good business case for them to revive it now.

Thank you for posting to this thread, William. I’d forgotten it existed!

Where did the word “fflyd” come from? Google Translate tells me that it means “fleet”; it also tells me that the Welsh words for “aqueduct” and “viaduct” are “dyfrbont” and “traphont”, respectively.
Many of you will know Mike from the Affinity Forums and/or other support forums for graphics software (including, but not limited to, Serif’s ‘Plus’ products). Patrick Connor, Head of Software Testing and QA at Serif, has relayed the following message from Mike’s wife:
With deep sadness I am letting you know that Mike passed away Friday, July 25.
He had a longtime interest in Graphic Arts, desk top publishing and all things computer. ...He did enjoy the Beta testing and using various programs. Just an area that was very fulfilling to him. He did love to help people. The forums gave him that opportunity.

Thanks for the suggestion, William, but there’s no need now. I edited my post after I found the answer on the Royal Mail website, but (as on most forums) you only get notifications for new posts, not for edits.
William wrote:UK postage stamps each now have a unique "barcode" built into them
The codes are unique for each stamp value. They would soon run out of codes if they were unique to each stamp.
The barcodes provide access to exclusive video content. The first of these videos featured Shaun the sheep and his four-legged friends, so I suppose the code for that one could reasonably have been called a “baacode”!
William wrote:most (all but special issues except Christmas stamps) UK postage stamps
I’m afraid I’m having difficulty untangling “all but … except” to determine the intended meaning.
Edit: Never mind, I’ve found this explanation of how different kinds of stamps are treated:
Most stamps are being barcoded — but not all stamps.
All Definitive stamps are being barcoded - including Christmas stamps. Definitive stamps are the regular ‘everyday’ stamps featuring the profile of HM The Queen created by the sculptor Arnold Machin.
We aren't barcoding special issue stamps - which are printed as a one off to commemorate a person / event — these remain valid as postage so don't need to be swapped out.
Also, although Christmas Stamps are being barcoded, previous years of non-barcoded Christmas Stamps will remain valid as postage after 31 January 2023 — so there is no requirement to swap them out.

GB wrote:No. It would have been "tuppence", not "two pence". I think a tuppenny stamp was only used on cheques and receipts.
William wrote:Yes, it was pronounced as tuppence.
As in ‘Pop Goes The Weasel’:
Half a pound of twopenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
I’ve see it written both ways, but I don’t recall ever seeing Bertolt Brecht’s play The Threepenny Opera referred to with ‘Threepenny’ spelled as ‘Thrupenny’, despite its being pronounced that way.
My spoll chacker marks both ‘Thrupenny’ and ‘Thruppenny’ as misspelled. However, ‘tuppence’ is accepted.
