Hi,
I'm a complete newbie to the site and have just worked my way through the 15 steps of the preliminary removal instructions. Tried to submit 2 log reports (1 of the 3 didn't find anything so no report), but got the message that as a newcomer without posts can't submit a post with links and images. Since all I'd done was type a message and include the two repots I've no idea what the links and/or images are. Can someone advise please?

As regards your problem.

You need to open a new thread in our security forum and post the requested log files as attachments and not copy and pasted. See the link in my signature for details.

Hello Howard_Hopinso
Many thanks. I did try to open a new thread in the security forum and the log files were attached using the attachment manager and the upload button in the popup. I then typed a message describing my problem, what I'd done to try and solve it etc.
I now get the following message

to be able to post links or images your post count must be 3 or greater. You currently have 1 posts.

Please remove links from your message, then you will be able to submit your post.
Looks like I'll have to try again when I've reache the 3 postings!
Cheers
Herbert

As far as I was aware, this didn`t affect attachments, as lot`s of new members have posted their log files with no problems, even though it was their first post.

However, please feel free to reply to this post, then you`ll have the necessary posts. ;)

Regards Howard :)

Thanks again - hopefully I can proceed further.

welcome Herbert,
I'm pretty new myself and everybody here is very helpful with pretty much anything that deals with technology. So far, I've enjoyed this site very much so far.
