>> #8 electric: Strange though, that the (BBC) link works for me on here....

Your country location can be detected by websites via your internet service provider's IP (internet protocol) address, so even if you are clicking on a BBC link on a foreign site, the BBC can still detect that you are in the UK, and will let the connection go through for you, whereas those with Australian (or other non UK) IP addresses will be blocked.  I get the same block in reverse on here when I click on some Australian or US broadcasters' links. It's mostly to do with copyright and rights relating to the material being broadcast. There are ways around it (e.g. proxy servers) if you are really into foreign TV internet broadcasts, but most people don't bother.

The link works here.   It was just Richo.   He has a lousy provider, That's all

Hi Stawka--operator error--comes into it..................Richo.

[imastawka]

Nah Richo.  How do you make an error just clicking on a link?

[serendipityricho]

Stawka---trying to stop it and get back out is a problem for me.

Thats why i dont bother about links etc very often..................Richo.

ps....all too hard.

[imastawka]

Not hard Richo.    Your refresh button turns into an X while loading.

If it doesn't load, hit the X.  If your page turns blank, hit refresh again

[serendipityricho]

Ta for trying Stawka--cant see a thing on the keyboard that has refresh on it.

Back to the old ways.

EMB-sorry for the interruption to your thread--

-carry on with hanging it on ..Phil the Greek.

The head man at ..Buckinghuge Palace......................................Richo.

Hit your F5 key Richo.  That refreshes the page too.

Don't hit it too hard.

Wow joono.  Thanks, I did not know that.   Just sent poor old Richo a PM.

Screenie and everything

Thanks Joono. I did not know that either. Like Richo, I too don't have a refresh button anymore since my OH changed to Firefox. If I click on the little x on top of the page, the whole page disappears. This is not the red x on the right hand top, but the x on a link page.
