Thanks @op, and starlingqueen, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Well explained by you both. The reason OP didn't turn blue and tag him is because his original name was oldpecker so when tagging him you still have to use OP. You can check their name before tagging them by holding your mouse over the name under their avatar. for example Mariannes is @ admin.

My logon/member name is oldpecker, the display name is OP as it kept getting shortened by a member who's name I won't mention. So if you try OP it might work.

It works now. I had a setting which prevented tooltips showing. I reset it so they show now.

If you have forty plus years to spare I will teach you all about it. I have been fiddling and diddling ever since Clive Sinclair marketed his ZX81. The first ever computer to cost less than £100 UK. It was £99.99. Before that I was learning COBOL programming using pen & paper and open learning.
