Hi Sue From one ntlworlder to another, greetings! You did not read the flipping manual!! (RTFM) Go to the PRO site and where you do searches. There at the top left is the Contact Us link. Click and then choose the right reporting form you want. You will be joining the literally thousands of us reporting errors. Good luck. Do not expect a reply - they are far too busy!!
