Because the journalist in question is aware of some Britishisms, but not others? And it’s not a spelling difference, it’s a different word.

'Normalcy' is not a British English word. 'Normality' would have been my chosen word. Was it written by a US journalist working for the BBC?

I used to use one for events at a pub. Worked well.

I believe a slider can have time and date driven panels.

I’ve just switched to WYSIWYG Web Builder and I am finding it reasonably easy. It gives you the option to set breakpoints and handles the design changes for you. You can tweak things easily enough.

I wouldn't leave it to Papier.com to do the upscaling. The photo editing software I use (ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2025) has introduced an AI Resizing option in its latest version: it does a great job, but is processor heavy. I don't know if Affinity has such an option.

Upscaling can be very crude, which is why I would suggest doing it yourself and sending an image of the required dimensions to the printer.

I’m not new to most people here. I was a member of the old old Serif forums - and just didn’t sign up here until the other day!

I'm a linguist, too - teacher (Head of Department latterly) for over 30 years (now retired), and I think it goes with the territory. Misused apostrophes and homophones are my main triggers. I don't carry a marker with me, though. big_smile

It was drawn from a photo taken of me at a New Year's Eve party in 2008. I'm now 60 - the new avatar was taken at Chatsworth House in September 0f 2023. Time marches on!

Thanks, Joe. I did find what I wanted late yesterday amongst Pablo's extensions for WWB - it's called bxSlider.

Eric - my new avatar is too big - I need to tweak it!!! Now done.

Thanks, Joe.

I haven't had a proper look yet, but I want something that:

(a) Allows a mix of orientation of file whilst maintaining aspect ratio;
(b) Does not have to open up as a lightbox.

I want something that will start automatically as a slideshow on the page but without having to have thumbnails. So far I haven't found anything that does quite what I want.

Very sorry to read this, Alfred. I used a few of Steve's templates when I was building websites. Sad news.

Hi, all!

Some of you may remember me from the old Serif forums as an avid user of WebPlus. Well, I have finally reached the end of the road with it, sadly, and am moving over to WYSIWYG Web Builder.

I was wondering if anyone had had any success using a slider generated in WebPlus in a WWB site? I can access all of the code from the HTML on my old website and I have all of the components needs (.js files), but I don't know if or how I can incorporate them into my new (responsive) site.

I am going to ask the same question on the WWB forum.

Happy Christmas!
