Elle, I have discovered, too, that in Hudl keyboard settings, there is something called "voice typing".
Is this something I should run a mile from?

Rusty, no - it is something from which you should run a mile.

Hello, Doglet, in my opinion the world would be a much poorer place without books.
I can't visualise a world without them.

Rusty,
Yes, this is what is happening - the ads come and go as I log on or off - or switch pages. But it's been perfectly fine for months - just troublesome since yesterday. I'll see what happens tomorrow , before I try to reinstall.
Maybe I'll try Firefox.....altho I use IE on my desk top. But then you use that on your laptop, don't you?
Re emails - I can send them , I just cannot access what's arrived! No idea why, this happened about the same time as the ads appeared - maybe I've done something catastrophic! (wouldn't be surprised!)
Will have my daughter check it all out if I haven't solved it by next Saturday when she's coming over.

That'll do for me, Malone!

P. S, Rusty, we crossed !
what is voice typing? haven't come across that?

Thanks, Rusty and Chris. I am actually quite a stickler in some areas of punctuation, grammar etc, but I get infuriated by some of the rules that aren't (and weren't) rules.

Elle, I don't know what I'm talking about, but there is something called a "soft reset" on Hudl.
It is designed to solve these kind of problems.
If you hold the on/off button down for about 15 seconds the screen will go blank, and that is it resetting itself. You will NOT lose anything.
Might be worth a try?
I have done it a couple of times.

Doglet,
My son -in law is a sixth -form teacher as you know, and he too is horrified by the lack of basic education that some of his students have, and the lack of interest in educating themselves.
I agree with you that the standard of education has slipped, but cannot see it being rectified in the near future.
