    In order to save an image from a web-page, first right-click on it, then select “Save image as”, choose the location where you want to save the image and click Save at the bottom.

  5. When I copy and paste my error message IT WON'T paste into the report a bug section.

    When I copy and paste an email error message I cannot paste it into the report a bug section so you can see it. How are you going to fix the gold issues if you won't let us send them to you?

    BRING BACK v 98.2 it was PERFECTION and the Email standard of all time vs. all the others.

    Please use the keyboard shortcuts CTRL+C to Copy and CTRL+V to Paste inside the Report a Bug window.

    If the error message does not show up inside the window, after pasting it, it means that the error page does not allow the copy function.

    In this case, please type the error message inside the Report a Bug window.

  6. Where's the "AGREE" Button?

    I've read and reread the "Terms of Agreement/Service" and nowhere can I find the button to click on to agree to anything therein. How do you expect anyone to agree with all of that stuff?

    In order to accept the new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, you’ll need to read all of the text provided. After you’ve scrolled to the bottom, the option to accept will be clickable.
