If you’re referring to the grey box at the bottom of Darren Wright’s post to the Affinity Forums, that’s simply a download link for this text file (which, as stated in the box, is an 844-byte file named ‘CraftArtist2 Start Fix.txt’). As indicated in the accompanying post, you can use that file to prevent the CraftArtist 2 from trying to access the DaisyTrail website.

Thanks for the link, Tom!

What is it about Surrey that makes some people want to leave the country? There are at least two of you here!

When you click on the ‘Add image to post’ link below the message composition box, you get something of the form

{url=https://postimg.cc/Abc12Pqr]{img}https://i.postimg.cc/Abc12Pqr/long-hexadecimal-guid{/img}{/url}

If your subsequent editing messes up the last part of that, you get the error message that you quoted:

{url} was found without a matching {/url}

(Needless to say, I used curly braces in my examples above so that they wouldn’t be interpreted as markup. In actual use you would have square brackets.)

Thanks for the update, Eric, and thanks for the link! I love this:

You don’t have to, but I couldn’t not! I found it hugely enjoyable.

Thanks for the link, Ralph. I’ve often wondered about the DaisyTrail site supposedly having been shut down, because I discovered some time ago that references to images on the site (e.g. in newsletters) still worked, even though it was no longer possible to log in or even to access free downloads.

Thanks for the clarification. I’m not in a position to try it for myself right now, but I’m happy to take your word for it!

Welcome, Steve! Thanks for joining us here.

The universal key 881887 is a registration key, not a product key. It simply puts a stop to the ‘nag’ screen which would otherwise pop up after a month, and thereafter every time you launched the program, asking you to register (so that Serif would have your contact details and therefore be in a position to ‘upsell’ another Plus product, which they’re obviously no longer going to do).

I’m a little confused as to why your topic title is ‘Setting up PagePlus X9’, given that — until you borrowed a friend’s disc — you seem to have been trying to set up PPX8. Since we seem to be discussing not only installers but also product keys here, I’ve sent you an email so that details which should be kept private can remain so.

If you make any changes under ‘Page Properties’ in WebPlus, those changes should stick when you save your project file and they should appear in the HTML when you publish the site. If you’re saying that a Google search doesn’t show the updated information, that’s to be expected until such time as Google has recrawled the site.

Welcome, Alisa! Thanks for joining us here.

Your splash screen does indeed look strange, but I’ve used High-Logic MainType for many years and I’ve never seen a problem like this, so I’m inclined to agree with your suggestion that it’s probably a coincidence.

Reinstalling the operating system seems like a very drastic step! When you tried the Ctrl-runup you should have been rewarded with a dialog asking you to confirm that you want to reset your user settings. Did you see that? And if so, did it include an ‘Also delete local settings files’ checkbox? I have to confess to clutching at straws here, because I would expect Revo Uninstaller to have zapped the local settings files along with everything else related to your CraftArtist installation.

I think the last update to WPX8 was released long enough ago that HTTP YouTube links still worked. To fix the problem now (so that the published site uses secure HTTPS links instead) it will probably be necessary to convert each link to an HTML Code Fragment to yield an editable object that allows the insertion of the missing ‘s’.
