Thank you for clearing that up for me, Connor. I haven't been active here for some time and was fuzzy on the rules.
In future, I'll avoid links to that particular domain and to any search instructions.
I'm not sure why that site is ******, but that's not for me to question -- I'll certainly follow the forum's rules and the moderators' decisions.
Cheers!
