Dear Miranda, yes the site navigation confuses me too! Maybe Don posted it for you as the competitions have a submit button but the users work is uploaded by them to dropbox or googledrive with the PUBLIC link posted. Your script is here: https://www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/StormattheBackyard.pdf which WAS detected by the script search. I've not been able to go back to previous scripts (half viewed the night before) by searching only for the title. Don't know why that didn't work. Maybe you could search for my upload Sky Lift which has dropped off the second page of work-in-progress thread. Best JtF
