Hello @BPDSurvivor
and other members visiting this thread
This is just a note to alert you, and other members to the possibility of links, in particular, forum addresses, appearing not to be active in some circumstances.
While it may sound defensive of me to say so, this post is in no way a complaint or criticism. Rather, observations that, I hope, may be helpful
In your posts, on the dates noted with the address list printed below, you had evidently wished to alert the members listed to your posts. I was surprised that I had not responded to the posts in which you had addressed me with my forum address link. I take my notifications from the "Your Notifications" list-page and always particularly check the notifications, in all threads, that are addressed in the "Your Notifications" list-page, in the following manner:

Re: Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar
The notification above is the only notification that I have received from you, since the 10 December, which is as far back as I can check. It was as a result of my checking of the following notification, from about 3.00 PM (AWST) Thursday 16 December, and review of earlier pages in that thread, that alerted me to the issue.

I was also surprised that there were only two supports given to each of your posts, which seemed too few, given the number of addresses included in the list and the very high likelihood of responses by other members included in the list. This led me to believe that the forum addresses had possibly not been active or functional. I thought that this may have been the case if you had copied and pasted them from another source page {eg., a word processor document} as I have previously and unsuccessfully done. Since I have copied the addresses from your posts, I am presuming that the members indicated by these addresses will not receive an alert, as the addresses are likely to have inherited, what I believe to be their lack of functionality from the original post. I also copied and pasted them from a word processor document.
In my post, of 12 Dec 2021 05:06 PM , regarding addresses and notifications, I have mentioned what I believe is the case; a copy of which follows:
“ Caution: I believe that forum addresses do not copy and paste properly from the word processor, so it is best to enter all forum addresses directly into the reply box.”
It may also be true that forum addresses cannot be copied and pasted via the clipboard from other locations, as appears to be the case if copied from word processor documents.
I know that I have had this issue in some of my own posts.
If I receive a huge number of supports or comments from this post, I will know that I have another problem and that the address list below is indeed active and functional. However, I do believe that it is an issue of which we need to be aware, one way or another.

The following 3 alerts, or notifications, were received by me. In only 1 of which, by @Shaz51 , I had been alerted through the inclusion of my forum address. I am actually surprised that I have not received more notifications from the thread, even simply to inform me of new posts such as those offered by @Carlo and @Gem17 as indicated by their posts, to each of which, I did receive an alert or notification.

I hope that this note may lead to the sorting out of a problem that I believe may exist, even if it is simply to clarify and know how we can apply and use forum addresses in our posts.
With Best Wishes
