Another webinar about bulleted and numbered lists is coming up on Saturday 28 February 2026. I’m sure this will be a very interesting topic for many of us.
Here is the link to the YouTube webinar:

The webinar will take place on Saturday 28 February 2026 at 7 pm UK time.
Thanks, Chris!
That’s cheating! 
My apologies, William! I simply meant that contrary to the suggestion that Mr Collins wanted his offer of marriage to Elizabeth to be rejected, I think he would have been puzzled by such a rejection.

I can't imagine that Mr Collins ever thought he could be in love with Elizabeth, but happiness (in the sense of contentment) is a different matter.
William wrote:I had never thought, nor seen it suggested anywhere, that Mr Collins wanted his offer of marriage to Elizabeth to be rejected.
On the contrary, I think Mr Collins — another William, by the way — would have seen himself as a good ‘catch’ and would therefore have been puzzled at anyone rejecting a proposal of marriage issued by him.

Or rather, you thought you didn’t have any answers! Presumably my answer was in the works but not yet posted.
I’m glad you identified the problem, Gordon. Thanks for posting again to tell us about it.
pberk wrote:I decided that Mr. Collins wears glasses. He's only five and twenty, but much more mature than his age. He is set for life. He's a serious man who knows what he wants and likes to "get his way". I thought the glasses gave him a more studious air as he "plays his part".
Seriously?

If you haven’t yet watched it in its entirety, it’s well worth finding the time to do so.

What are your MvPX6 export settings, Gordon? What are the specs of your laptop?
Strange. I cannot find where this quote came from? But presumably it's a render problem. I realise it's winter up there but could it be the laptop overheating?
I can’t find Gordon’s post now either, Eric, but it was definitely there and I had no reason to delete it. If I had accidentally initiated a deletion I would have been prompted to confirm it, at which point I would have cancelled the procedure. Another one for the ever-growing list of life’s little mysteries!
Any laptop I’ve ever used for a processor-intensive task such as video editing has got very hot unless I’ve propped it up at the back, preferably using a stand with USB fans built in.
I’m sorry it didn’t appear, but I’m afraid I’ve no idea why. I’ve never encountered that problem because I much prefer the look of old Serif ones, so — despite the extra steps required — I always use them instead.

I assumed that Chris meant his comment to be taken as tongue-in-cheek! It seems highly unlikely that a low-traffic site such as this one would prompt a significant boost in a YouTube channel’s viewing stats.
Oh, dear! Yes, I know it was tongue-in-cheek - did you not see my winking emoji?
But, if it were meant seriously, then no, promoting her here would do not good at all, which is why I do it on a high-traffic site (Discord).
Sorry, Ali, I didn’t see your winking emoji (or, indeed, any other emoji) when I posted, and I don’t see it now!

You’re welcome, Chris. I’m very aware that these forums have members scattered across the globe, so I thought it worthwhile spending some minutes to look up a few time zones other than GMT and CET.

I can't find it now.
It’s easily found by ‘scrubbing’ along the timeline:

I’m confused, Paul! If you hadn’t posted a version without something akin to book illustrations, how would anyone come to the conclusion that they wanted to see them added?
Let's skip over the book illustrations. I can't remember ever making a version like that.
You didn’t! Or if you did, you didn’t share it here. Because you wrote “I can’t remember if I posted the version that included the songs but no visuals”, I responded by saying that the requests for added visuals clearly stemmed from your having posted a version with words.
Speaking of words, I agree with Geoff and your wife that the lip syncing to someone else’s voice is jarring, but that’s just a personal reaction to a relatively minor matter. Now that I’ve watched the entire video, I have to say that my admiration for what you’ve achieved is undiminished.

The version that you posted previously showed Jane with her lips moving (and probably her eyes blinking) but her head faced slightly away from the camera and remained in that position throughout.
pberk wrote:My purpose is to entertain. Hopefully this work will be judged solely on that scale.
I’ve never known you to fail in your purpose when posting. Thanks for sharing your work here.
I’ve had a rethink! Duplicate threads generally result in discussions being split so that you have to look in two or more places to get the full picture, whether it’s people offering different solutions to the same problem or sharing their views on a particular topic.
I’m going to close this thread to new posts. Please continue the discussion here.
Ali wrote:Anyone using the New Posts view, as I do exclusively, is going to see multiple postings.
I use it, too, but it’s clear that not everyone does! I’m sure I’ve even seen posts explicitly saying things along the lines of ‘This is the only section of these forums that I ever visit’.
Those of us who do use the New Posts view will see duplicate topic titles, making it immediately clear that cross-posting has occurred.
pberk wrote:My purpose is to entertain. Hopefully this work will be judged solely on that scale.
I’ve only watched the first twelve minutes or so, Paul, but based on what I’ve seen you’ve admirably achieved your goal.
pberk wrote:Alfred, I'm posting this twice as I'm so eager for comment. Please remove if against some rule.
Cross-posting is generally discouraged on any forum I’ve ever visited, but there’s certainly no rule against it on this low-traffic site.
My impression is that MoviePlus users tend not to visit the Art & Literature forum, and vice versa. By posting to both forums you’re almost certainly reaching a wider audience than you otherwise would.

William wrote:I found this poem, which I had not remembered writing. Only almost six months ago.
Why do you say “only” almost six months ago, William? That’s quite a long time! You last posted almost four months ago.
You last visited (albeit without posting) at the beginning of the calendar year, which was just over six weeks ago. Welcome back!
Yes, of course! I thought it was clear that I was referring specifically to the age verification system announced by Discord.
Since I have no desire to use Discord it doesn’t affect me personally, but I agree it’s good that they’re starting to address the issue at long last.
