Wow, imagine the same spider in England, Oz and America!  We have them too, although I've seen more back east in Pennsylvania where I'm from than here in AZ.

It is different than the flying Daddy that is in UK Lyn.  A small bodied spider with very long legs.

Wow, look at the diversity map in this article.  There are over 900 species of daddy long legs on the planet.

Last week I posted my photobucket address with pics of my pets and the links failed to become live links when I posted.  I think I figured out what happened, and was wondering what to do to correct the situation.

I prefer to use Firefox as a browser, because it's faster, but it when I post a link to a web address, it isn't a live one.  If I want to post a live link, I have to go back over to Internet Explorer.  Do I need to change a setting or something?

I use Firefox as well Ruth, the way I do it is to paste the link in here, then I scroll over it to grey it out, click the link at the bottom and paste it in there as well, when you click 'insert' the link is then underlined and live.Others may do it differently but this way works for me.  I never use Internet Explorer, its far too slow.

Thanks, Lyn.  I'll give it a go.  But if it doesn't work, I still have IE and can make the switch.  I hear Google's come out with a new browser called Chrome that's supposedly better than Firefox or IE.

Hi Cathy:  I never heard of Safari, but I'll have to look into it.  Is it fast?

I tried Safari but I went back to Firefox. Opera is another one. The Chrome browser by Google is supposed to be a good one but I'm put off by it cos when they first did it they stated they had the rights to anything you uploaded, but I think they've changed that now.
