A bit of a typo in my last message. It should have said that John's site is now accessible.

: Try this. Move your cursor over the box with the little x in it. Right click
: on your mouse and you should get a box which gives yo some choices. Left
: click on Properties. That should bring up another box, which will have the
: link in it. copy that link info to the address bar on your browser and
: hopefully you'll get to the right place.

: URLS are designed to be continuous strings of text, without spaces. My
: thinking is that the names for these web pages have spaces in them. While
: that makes for easy-to-read page titles for the author of the webpage,
: some computers choke over those spaces, or the coding (%20) which is
: inserted to fill them. If you look at Ted Henry's response to your
: question you'll see that the software which this BBS uses only highlights
: a portion of the complete link. The highlighting stops at the first %--and
: when you click on the highlighted area only a fragment of the full URL
: shows up in the address bar. That, of course, takes you nowhere.

: At least that is my best guess.
