presumably you have everything you want now? you've clicked on "answered" which means no one else will come on here now

Joy

for future reference,

please do NOT tick "answered"

As Ann says, it means that your question has been completely answered, and you need no further help.

Unfortunately, it is a quirk of GR that you cannot untick once you have ticked.


The only thing that you can do is to go into your Opening Post (OP), click on Edit, then add "help still needed" to the title.
