Post by: Nurse Julie on September 03, 2017, 07:15:11 PM: Yes, the one I put the link to is no longer on the list because the ad was pulled after I pointed it out. I don't know how 'they' know that it has been sussed as a scam......unless they are watching the forum. 👀👀👀. It has happened previously when a Forum member has posted a likely scam and within a few minutes the ad has been removed.

Sorry Steve, yes, I will do that. I was just trying to find the Goldwing he was also advertising, to take a screen shot but, he's pulled that too and all the other bikes he was selling for 'friends'.

Each time you pushed the key it would just replace the file with what is currently on screen so no storage just instant use.

Don't know if this still works.

If you've got Adobe Acrobat you can convert any webpage to a PDF file and save it.
