If this is still an issue, I can post the code I use to determine if mobile (or not).
Welcome aboard, Mark! Please feel free to go ahead and post the code anyway, so that it’ll be available here for whoever needs it.
I don’t suppose you’ve ever made a long two-minute video!
I doubt if he has, but a lot of people have!
LOL!!
I had a walk around the garden this afternoon and as it was such a nice sunny day I made a short 2 min video.

And a very pleasant two minutes it was, Gordon. (I don’t suppose you’ve ever made a long two-minute video!)
That’s good to hear, Danzil. Thanks for the update!
I’m not sure that this really belongs in ‘Your jokes’…
Thanks for joining us here, Diane. Apologies for the belated welcome!
I’m sorry to learn of your Windows woes. I hope the remaining CA2 problems are ironed out soon.
MP3 & WAV are not that good for syncing
MP3 isn’t good for syncing because it’s heavily compressed. What’s the problem with WAV?
I get nothing useable when I click on the text box download indicated in your reply.
That’s very odd. What browser are you using?
Is it not straightforward?
It should be! In the absence of a further information I can’t say why it isn’t straightforward for you.
How would I find Darren Wright.
You should be able to contact Darren via private messaging on the Affinity Forums, but you would need to sign up in order to use the PM service on there. What do you want to ask him?
‘CraftArtist2 Start Fix.txt’ contains the following text:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Serif\CraftArtist\2.0\Misc]
"AutoUpdateInterval"=dword:00000007
"Font Panose Numbers"=""

That logo with txt at the bottom looks somewhat garbled. Is it important?
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.
Welcome to my merry little band, Lainey! Please take a look here.
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!
Although I was born in Surrey (in the County Borough of Croydon) and lived there for much of my life, I didn't leave Surrey, it was Surrey that left me! A certain woman in Downing Street, in her effort to destroy Britain decided to move Croydon into London! I escaped to the US from London, not from Surrey.

Although my home county is Surrey it meant nothing as the countryside was a long way away, Living in SE24 six miles from Charing Cross we were part of London.
As for escaping I was younger and restless. So on Dec 4, 1970 I left from Heathrow looking for a better life. It was dull and drizzling. In Feb 1984 on my only visit back to UK it was still dull and drizzling. Nothing had changed but now in 2025 the world certainly has.
I stand corrected! I was aware that Croydon isn’t in Surrey now, but I didn’t know when it was moved. I might have known that Margaret Hilda would have had something to do with it!!
Surrey was my home county so it's nice to see you pop over there regularly.

"… If the problem persists contact your Host for advice."
Can you see the file ‘blogs.html’ when you use the File Manager in cPanel? Have you been unable to get any helpful advice from your hosting company?
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.)
I am trying to upload my site to godaddy and I am getting the "remote folder Public_html does not exist. (see attachments for screen shots)
You previously wrote about problems with uploading to Directnic. Have you switched to GoDaddy for your web hosting, or are you using both?
Unlike Windows, file names in Linux are case sensitive. The usual folder name for files that are intended to be viewable on the Internet is public_html with a lowercase P.
You haven’t attached any screenshots.
Thanks for the update, Eric, and thanks for the link! I love this:
In the mid-1890s, Queensland meteorologist Clement Wragge began naming tropical cyclones in alphabetical order, using the Greek alphabet, mythological characters, and finally, politicians who annoyed him.
LOL, Eric! Thanks for the link.
Nothing to laugh about, obviously, for the people affected by the approaching cyclone.
Well, Eric, you really do not have to watch the whole hour.
You don’t have to, but I couldn’t not! I found it hugely enjoyable.
I’m sorry to come to this discussion so late, but I didn’t want to watch only five or ten minutes of the video before commenting, and until now various distractions got in the way of my watching more than that at one go. I’ve now watched the entire show, half last night and half this morning.
What an astounding piece of work, Paul! I’ve never read the book and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a movie version from beginning to end, so although I’d previously encountered the names of the principal characters I’d only been vaguely familiar with a few bits of the plot. That shortcoming has now been corrected in the space of a hugely enjoyable couple of half hours.
There are inevitably the odd few typos (e.g. “ring her neck” at 41:28 and “that villian Willoughby” at 53:42) and the name Ferrars is misspelled in three different ways (Ferras, Ferris, and Farras) but that can easily, if somewhat tediously, be fixed by going through the whole thing with the proverbial fine-toothed comb.
See if the link below helps you.
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.
My first question is where can I download a copy of WebPlus X8 to install on one of my Windows 11 PC's
Welcome, John! Thanks for joining us here.
Please check your email.
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!
