Hi Tom,
Instead of these plaintiff moans of frustration, why not do as I suggested to you earlier and post me a private message, reporting exactly what you are doing (each keystroke and mouse click - and the results of each) and then I may be able to help.
I'm still deleting empty messages of yours as fast as they come in - but they will still be appearing in the mail box of those who have subscribed to the forum, and no doubt, becoming a little annoying. So WRITE TO ME PRIVATELY (You can do that by clicking on my username where ever you see it on the forum) so we can work out together why you are having the problem without inflicting empty posts on everyone else.
