Update Opencpn Frankz announcement sticky?

[rgleason]

How do we get the FrankZ sticky announcement changed to have current links to the OpenCPN website?

I have rewritten the message with current links but have no way to edit or change the post.

I can send someone this rewrite if necessary.

Thank you for hosting us!

All the links come up with error Not found. This is not helpful for new users.

Please either post the updated info or send it to me via PM and I can get it updated for you.

It has been awhile since I did this, but I think the post is here.

I will next try to copy and paste from my email and perhaps it will have better formatting.

Thank you.

Announcement

JanetH I cannot find the original from my cell. It is best to use the post above and perhaps indent the sub paragraphs properly.
I will look on my laptop for the original. Thankyou!

Is there any way we can access this Announcement directly to update and modify it?

Did not work very well.

No but the links were helpful.

Thanks very much Janet, that fixes all the 401s we were getting.

Much appreciated.
