Hi Volks,

I found it by pasting the last part of the link "3101921473" in the first box after clicking on "Suchen" (search?).

I also noted that the "?" mark after "dll" in the posted link was not present when initially clicking on the site. I had to add the "?" to the URL in addition to pasting the second line to make it reflect the posted link. It didn't work on this link but has worked for me in the past, specifically within the last few days.

Why can't we copy a link without it splitting into two lines that won't work. I assume this is due to some sort of limitation in the number of characters allowed by the software! I run up against this issue all the time as I'm sure many of you have!
