I'm quite sure I fixed it. See next version.

Yep, me too.

It does make one wonder if having this facility is worth the effort? Personally, I can live happily without it even if there were a lot more tips. I think search linking in help files the Wiki far more useful.

Suggest it is rested until more time is available.

Hihi, incredible. Could you please right-click one of the links in the A-list and then select "Copy Link" (or so... translated from German), and paste that copy into your reply here. Thanks!

UPDATE: I get this for the first link: about:blank§#§0

Interesting. But should work anyway. :?

The links at the bottom of tip #3: "See also Quick Name Search, How to set a Visual Filter. " Do they also fail to work?

Well no (tip 4 not 3) no action but clicking on XYplorer link above works but and for me this is not good it loads IE. I have FF which has a plug in to handle IE links.

I get "about:§#§0" for the first tip, and the links at the bottom of tip #4 result in "about:§#§4" and "about:§#§5" respectively...

Yep, I was one-off because my source code version of XY uses a different out-dated copy of tipoftheday.htm.

Anyway, we'll see what the next BETA brings... :)

IE 6 always worked. IE 7 is the pig...

Yep all working here except -

In tip 4 there is a link to XYPlorer which an selection opens in IE and not FF which is the default. If I go to the link XYPlorer from this beta forum it opens in FF.
Is this down to my settings or controlled by XY?

Yep all is good.

The link to the XYwiki in tip#3 also opens I.E. However, the links from the Help menu open the default browser (in my case Opera).
