Thanks Breanna Mi-Amigo
I'll score myself! 😃

You still have until the wee small hours of Friday to get your answers in, if the Forum Private Messaging system can be convinced to co-operate (I have known a tab, forgotten, to cause similar errors - so close any community-related tabs on PC & tablet/mobile device and re-login afresh to send your PM, that should do it @Patricia1066 - good luck!
