I think you’re missing the identifier for your pic, Anne! That URL takes me to the home page for postimages.org, instead of showing me the full-size picture.
KarenPL wrote:Hi Anne, I see you found my post on FB.
It’s nice to know that FB/Meta is actually useful for something. 
AnneNelson wrote:King Alfred!……long time since you have popped up on my screen. Thank you for setting up this new forum. Need some practice on how to use it now. 
Anne - Aka…nannyanne ((DT)
Good to see you here, Anne! We’ve just started discussing what forum categories should be added, and I naturally thought of DaisyTrail when Karen mentioned CraftArtist. I’ll need to dig out those tutorials that I’ve been sitting on since DT closed.
William wrote:Can it be done in one go or would it need to be done bit by bit, possibly by me?
If you want to try copying it in one go, a simple way would be to use a PDF printer driver. Outputting to such a ‘printer’ results in the creation of a PDF file comprising the selected pages.
KarenPL wrote:Joe wrote:Does anyone want legacy products on here? If so, webplus, pageplus and movieplus are good for me.
And perhaps CraftArtist? Some of the regulars from Daisytrail are on Facebook. I could always mention this forum in the Group, to see if there is any interest?
Absolutely! I imagine a DaisyTrail section would be particularly popular.

I second Joe's suggestion. Just the other day I was stumped on a PagePlus to PDF issue but found the answer on the legacy forum.
I did have that in mind, but I felt inclined to wait until closer to the time when CommunityPlus is due to close.
William wrote:where would anything that relates to the BBC programme 'Fake or Fortune' be placed … ?
In a ‘Television’ category, perhaps? Whilst ‘Discussion’ is tremendously broad, I don’t think it would be helpful to have categories that are too narrow.
William wrote:So if there were, say, about seven categories, what should they be?
Once we’ve gathered together a few ideas we can have a poll.
William wrote:Oh, so would you rather any suggestions be in that thread?
If so, this thread could be locked.
William
No, I think it’s better to have a separate thread. I suspect I didn’t put much thought (if any!) into my wording at the time, perhaps having a vague idea that new users might indicate their preferences while introducing themselves.
Bumped for visibility, as somebody famous once said.
William wrote:All of the threads thus far are in a category named Discussion.
Would it be good to have other top-level categories?
If so, what should they be?
As I indicated in my very first post to this forum, I think it would indeed be good to have other top-level categories. Hence my second sentence there:

KarenPL wrote:[And those are lovely photos of cats you posted previously, especially the James Bond kitty. He is gorgeous! 
I suspected you might like that one! (You can see why they thought of putting a collar and bow tie on him.)
“The name’s Bond. James Bond.”
KarenPL wrote:People often think they are quite cutesy little creatures
Hardly surprising, really.
KarenPL wrote:Just seen this online. This would be me. However, it is unlikely that goal would be reached.
Just spent 45 minutes on the treadmill. Tomorrow, my goal is to turn it on.
William wrote:Alfred wrote:A noble sentiment, perhaps, but how are such things to be policed (other than by self-censorship)? If I write “I hope these darned socks don’t need darning again soon”, depending on how you read it you might be offended by the adjective.
By using the Sergeant Wilson style approach of asking someone using such language if they could possibly try please in future to contribute more effectively to the genteel enviroment of the forum.
William
I wasn’t asking about the form of words to be used when requesting care in how one expresses oneself, I was alluding to the difficulty of determining whether (for example) the word “darned” is a minced oath or a simple use of the past tense.
KarenPL wrote:To be quite honest, my view is that if people are only interested in the looks of their pets, then the pets are better off without them. 
Nicely put! 
jackneve wrote:What on earth are you on about mending socks? The diversion from topic is yours!
Not so, Jack! William was responding to my post where I wrote:
Alfred wrote:Are we to be debarred from discussing the mending of socks?
That followed on from your observation:
jackneve wrote:This is no place for serious obscenity, but please live in the modern world. It is not genteel, but we don't have to go towards the use of words like darn, and consarn for damn.
