Yes indeed. Beautifully done.
Be aware it’s the Ides of March!
A large hole has appeared in the middle of the main road in the town centre.
Police are looking into it.
You’re welcome, Kevin. Do you already have Affinity Designer in your vector drawing arsenal?
The original article is here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/scie … 11014.html
– The collection will go on display, for the first time in more than 100 years, at Chesters Roman Fort and Museum in Northumberland from Wednesday March 13.
Welcome, Kevin! Thank you for joining my merry little band.
I can’t see how to do what you describe in either PagePlus or DrawPlus. It’s easy in Affinity Designer, thanks to its Corner Tool.

Good one, Karen, but I gotta ask: does ~PUNdora box? 
denlevy wrote:Possibly a file upload thingy such as on here and considering a forum.
I have a simple file upload script that I can dig out for you. Like Tectite FormMail, it uses PHP, so your hosting server would need to support that (but most of them do).
Check your hosting package for an apps installer such as Softaculous or Fantastico. If such a facility is available to you, you can install a forum in not much more than a few clicks.
Tectite FormMail is a free contact form processing script with good security features. It takes a while to get to grips with all the steps required to set everything up correctly, but it works very well.
There’s a handy configuration guide that was kindly provided as a PDF file by Frank B, a regular contributor to the CommunityPlus Forum, a few years ago. You can download it from here.
That does look like a seedling to me, William. It certainly isn’t a cherry!

Not two cherries with one leaf on the stalk?

¡De nada!

All fixed! There was one measly little closing parenthesis that I’d accidentally deleted. 
KarenPL wrote:A little query, Alfred. I just tried to use the Opera smilies you host, but when I click on the smiley the copy and paste code does not appear in the box at the top. The Serif smilies do work OK. Have the Opera smilies started to have a mind of their own, and are being bashful? 
Thanks for the reminder, Karen! I thought those ones were misbehaving after I did a bit of tinkering recently, but I didn’t get around to investigating at the time. I’ll take a look now and see if I can identify how I broke it.
A young man is attending a job interview. When the interviewer says to him “You’re asking for an awful lot of money for someone who has so little experience”, he replies “Of course I am. Think about how much harder I’ll have to work not knowing how to do the job”.
I think we need more precise detail about your procedure. If you could provide a ‘recipe’ for others to reproduce what you’re seeing, it should be possible for someone to pinpoint why it has (sometimes!) been going wrong for you. Please set out your recipe as a sequence of numbered steps, followed by a brief description of (a) what you expected to happen and (b) what actually happened.

Really, William? I’ve never heard of such a thing!!

KarenPL wrote:Ah, have you never seen the Pirates of the Caribbean films, then, Alfred?
No, indeed I have not. I knew about Johnny Depp playing the role of Jack Sparrow, and I’ve heard of Orlando Bloom, but that’s about as far as it goes. And I’ve never even read the LOTR books, let alone seen any of the films: The Hobbit was about my limit where Tolkien is concerned.
KarenPL wrote:Bit contrived re the rum bit, I'll grant you... 
Just a bit!
Welcome, Kevin! Thanks for joining us here.
If you purchased a multi-user licence, you should have received deployment instructions at the time. If you purchased a single-user licence, you’re only licensed to install the software on two computers, the second one being a portable computer, and that secondary installation would be for your use only.
Gatester wrote:Hello, I am new to this forum have been using CraftArtist 2 Professional for many years, however lost some of my DigiPacks and am looking see if anyone has some that would be free or will pay. Thanks!
Thanks for joining us here, Bonnie! I presume you received my email with the ‘Free Stuff’ link, but perhaps some of our fellow forum members will be able to point you in the direction of additional sources of digikits.
William wrote:Yes, that was good advice and got it going on Windows 8.1
However, if I remember correctly, when I installed it on my old computer, which ran on Windows 10, I think that it worked straightaway without any need to do that process.
It is not installed on this machine.

I've just installed ImpactPlus 5.1 on a Windows 10* laptop. When I first attempted to run it, nothing happened: no error message, it simply didn't run. Renaming WININET.DLL enabled it to launch correctly.

*Windows 10 Pro, Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4046)
Completely lost on me, I’m afraid! And why does that ‘rum’ have a head on it?
Sandy wrote:I have well over 100 jokes like this - grooaannn...
So, enough to keep going for a couple of years before you have to either find new ones or start recycling the ones you have? That’s pretty impressive!
Well, maybe not pretty, but still impressive.
KarenPL wrote:I do however occasionally fire up PhotoPlus, but tend to use CraftArtist more as that's my most used, therefore most remembered bit of Serif software, as nowadays I have gone back to hands-on crafting rather than digital design. 
I’ve just unearthed my PhotoPlus X5 installation CD, which includes the installer for PanoramaPlus X4. There’s also a bonus disc for Photo Projects, which is ‘powered by CraftArtist’.
