    I'm sure I bought a 'Budgie' jacket in there in the early 70's :cool:

    Deary me. I had a Microsoft windows update this morning which I accepted, I'm now back to shrinking the page to get things working on here. What a palaver, seems obvious it's the updates that are causing the problem.

    Thank you MWS & Janice. My searches here and elsewhere kept pointing me to John Bright Street. They didn't live that far apart.

    Help Deciphering a certificate.

    I have another part unreadable cert ( to me anyway) My grandparents marriage cert from 1931. It's whatever is written under 'Paper hanger and Decorator' for my grandfathers occupation. To add to the confusion, 'Bright Street Aston' for my grandmothers residence, I can't find a reference to it...

    Girl with Lamb, Handworth Park. Have you seen it around?

    Some people can stoop very low. Our towns War Memorial had the bronze plaques with the names of the fallen chiselled off and stolen in the night a few weeks back. Luckily the police recovered them before they could be melted down, council to re- install them.

    I still don't think you will see anything different. If I hover my mouse pointer over the notification bell icon or search it does not highlight plus clicking on them does nothing.

    All I am showing is how reduced my screen has to be to have all items on the page functioning. If I increase screen size to a readable 90 or 100% then notifications, search, forum headers, post reply cannot be selected. A video of the process would be better but I don't have the wherewithal to...

    I've just fired up my old laptop which is running Win10 and there are no problems. Both laptops are running Edge browser so for me it is windows 11 with the problem of zooming or removing Adblocker to make the page functional.

    Here is a screenshot of my screen at 75% you can see the text is about half the size of the text at the top of the screen which is normal size.

    Glad it's helped you Lyn. I'm not completely computer savvy but it seems like the 'fields' that contain the icons are being stretched out from the screen to the point where they cannot be activated. Maybe someone with more computer knowledge can solve this problem for us. My screen is HD so...
