418 forum posts 4 photos	Having written for the magazine over many years I have found it necessary to keep an index for the magazine, essentially for my own articles but have of course added them all. I have therefore thought that it may be of help to others and have added it onto the web, the address being www.homews-mew-index.co.uk Whilst it contains all the articles, letters, trade items and tips are not included, search facilities are also not included except by using googles site search, assuming google eventually searches the whole site, it runs to 60 pages. No additional programs are required. The index therefore only complements other indexes such as that at www.cahw.co.uk Its main strength is it is divided into 168 areas so that it is possible to view all records on a given subject together, ideal for the viewer who has an interest in a particular subject. Even so, if the issue of a known article is being sought, knowing the subject matter it should come up with the details required. Also, typically, where an article is explaining how to machine cast iron using a Vee block as the subject, it is listed twice. Harold Hall

418 forum posts 4 photos	Thanks Les and Terry, it shows one is never too old to learn. When typing a web address into my browsers I never add the forward slash,Explorer and Firefox add it automatically and Opera finds the site but does not display it. Must do better Harold

2292 forum posts 159 photos	Hi Harold, The problem was not the forward slash. the URL's had been appended to the model engineers URL This is what the links actually looked like. http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/www.homews-mew-index.co.uk http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/www.cahw.co.uk If you right click on your links and select " Copy link location" then paste it into notepad etc you can see the URL that is hidden behind the text. Les.

2292 forum posts 159 photos	Hi Harold, Most browsers work without the http:// even though it is good practice to have it before the www. What you typed in the title field when you were inserting the link should have worked if that had been entered into the URL field but the URL field contained the model engineers URL followed by the one you intended to insert. If the text either of us put as the title was typed into a browser it would have worked but clicking on the link uses what was put in the URL field. It does not matter what is in the title. Terryd used the text "here" in the title field but he had the correct URL in the URL field so clicking on "here" takes you to the right place. I think something must have gone wrong when you pasted the URL into the URL field. Les.
