Just A Minute

Thanks Don,
That does explain it. I wish I had known about the zip folder 'trick' before I uploaded!
I am a paid Dropbox user, and recently I believe they have changed things to allow non dropbox users to receive files. I could therefore I suppose supply Clue episodes to any that want them!

I don't suppose you have moved your News Quiz archive anywhere have you - does it exist online these days?! It was whilst trying to download your archive that I felt prompted to write!

Anyway - Thanks Don

C.

I don't have much knowledge of these sort of things - but is there any reason why Dropbox can't be used to share links? It seems that it would be there for longer than my old Mediashare effort lasted? I note that it is not used by any experienced sharers - just interested why not?!
