#1 I saw that there were two versions of this image to choose from but, for some reason, my preview function stopped working, so I didn't know which to choose. Interestingly, the preview function did work for me on comments yesterday, but it hasn't worked for posting articles for a week or so. At least not for me.

#4 When I use Preview, it throws up a small star where I put the cursor, means "Danger, Blocked", But if you hold down the CTRL button and click at the same time it goes on through.

Just a hint for all having trouble with "Preview".

#5 Wasn't this the same dude who went to Malta in 1565 for the same reason? Seems to me that he died there in his thousands and failed. Now he's trying the same tactics for the same cause.

#6 Sounds like a guy who's not very bright or ambitious getting told by his 'betters' that he's been given his "mission in life".

Substitute a farm in "northwest Alabama" or "the Gaspe penninsula" or a factory town in "Massachusetts" or "the Midlands", and "Yankees" or "Rebs" or "the Hun" for "Westerns".

Wasn't this the same dude who went to Malta in 1565 for the same reason?

And like other dudes to Ypres in 1916.

#7 Thank you, Redneck Jim. I'll try that. Preview really helps me see things I miss otherwise!

#9 Damn, that didn't seem to work either. I don't know what happened to make it stop working for me. I just get the little exclamation point in the triangle that says 'Error on page' next to it with or without using the Ctrl button, but no other activity. I have Windows Vista, if that makes any difference. I may have to live with making sloppier posts for a while, I guess, unless I can figure it out. Hmmm.

#10 "I have Windows Vista, if that makes any difference."

It probably does, ryuge.

When I bought my new computer several years ago, I refused to have Vista because of all the problems I'd heard about it.

Off topic, but last fall I foolishly accepted a Windows offer to "upgrade" (free) to Explorer 8. Major suckage! It searched differently, and was the cause of my getting a terrible virus, which I had to pay to have removed. The poor people at Geeks-R-Us no doubt lost money on me, since their virus-removal service was a fixed price. It took them 3 days and 4 tries to get it completely gone. :-(

I'm working again on the premise of if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Best of luck with your problem.

#11 Well thanks everyone for your help. I was hoping that maybe there was some easy fix that I had overlooked. But, oh well, it's a rather minor inconvenience, I suppose.

As your story shows, Barbara S!
