I need to subscribe to different channels then...not only are most of the videos preceded by a wix advert the video is sponsored by them too so the "content creator" needs to find some way to steer the video such that they talk about wix in the video too *sigh*

I know HTML well enough but this tool is easier and quicker.
As I said, I specialise in a different IT sector, I dont want to have to learn anything new tp put a simple web site up, and this tool worked for me.

Well, that is quite a statement. I can think of any number of things much much greater than HTML.

I really enjoy waiting a second for four or five typed characters to appear  Everything is sluggish !
Also, secondary windows, like the Property Browser, and Error Window, once docked and set to auto-hide do not persist those settings: so, dammit, I have to reset them again, and again. This is an i7-7th laptop with 16gb of DDR4, and an SSD, and previous versions of VS 2017 were not slow like this.
I've filed reports on these demons, and have received feedback that the issues have been "triaged." That ain't helpful ... if you know what triage in medicine is, you know why the word alone has no meaning.
I do hope you are not sharing this nest of miseries !

Not those particular ones, but VS2017 has a number of irritating bugs. Mine periodically kills half my keyboard, so only the alphanumeric keys do anything - no backspace or enter or delete or arrows. Weird. I have to close the project and reopen it and all is back to normal. Plus a few other irritating idiosyncrasies. That said - I do quite like ti on the whole.

I also hast the 'partial-keyboard' issue... Never investigated really, however...
Also have DLL locking problem, but I'm pretty sure, that the solution and the internal dependencies are declared somehow wrongly... Not investigated either...

That means they printed it in hard copy to be signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
They are still at the signing phase though, because they need specific orders to send them in.

You are kidding I'm sure - they have authority to sign them? 
Anyway, doesn't it have to be on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That means they've evaluated and duplicated the issue(s), and have assigned it/them a priority level in the "to-be-fixed" queue.
This is both good and bad. They recognize there's a problem (good), and that they may or may not fix it (bad).

By "and that they may or may not fix it" you mean, of course, "which they will then ignore." (I know I shouldn't be such a pessimist, but you know, experience...  )

I'm not sure the others have it right,
It's clear from the "updates" they are far too busy adding features to bother with small matters like this.
Wasn't there one update where they made it start faster - so you can even sooner get to waiting for that typing response. Come on, wasn't that nice? Say "thank you microsoft."
'half-dead keyboard' - the alphanumeric keys work and surely all those others are just a distraction? Real programmers don't mistakes, they get all the code out in one go start to finish, no need for backspace and all that arrowing about nonsense is there then?

Actually you probably do. If more people report it, the higher the priority it gets. It's when you're the only one experiencing a problem that you get to the bottom of the queue.

Well, I never thought of it that way: good point

I get that all the time - it seems I have a knack for finding the weirdest software problems nobody else ever sees, so unless I'm talking directly to a developer who has an interest in actual feedback (in other words - good luck when it comes to MS), they never get fixed...

Not quite. Every time I used Microsoft Connect to report an issue, the longest the issue lasted was three days. Two of them were summarily deleted with no response whatsoever. Another was marked "not an issue" and closed immediately.
I wish they'd document the color of lipstick I should wear when sucking at the Microsoft teat...
Software Zen: delete this;

Depends on the avenue I guess. But yeah, I remember MS Connect being rather useless, with every issue getting resolved as either "by design" or "won't fix"

A very reasonable suggestion, and, in fact, one I tried.
thanks, Bill

Pardon me Bill, but I think dogs have to be pretty fast around your parts to survive! 
Edit: 'parts' of course refers to geographic location, not the private type!

I truly regret to inform you that around these heah parts the street dogs (maa soi) are the most pathetic collection of walking-hobbling-limping wounded canines one would hope never to see. An outcome of the world's most dangerous traffic.
Many are abandoned, some dumped at the local Wat (Buddhist temple).
