security screen

Can a website (in this case National Geographic) erect a security barrier which makes it impossible to send a site from my computer to another? I've taken part in their Genome Project and received the results, accessed through my user name, password and another (numbered) code.

I can send it to one of my alternate email sites and can read it there, however, all efforts, even by a computer expert, have not been successful in posting it on any other computer (Linux, Mac or Windows). This study tracks DNA from the original Africa (where we all came from), through to the DNA's dispersal through the world and as such is of great interest not only to me but to my descendents. Naturally I would like to send it to them. It cannot be printed off my computer in one piece as there are parts that do not print (mainly text that has to be scrolled down).

I have enquired at Nat. Geographic and their only comment was that my suggestion of a "send to" option would "be a good idea in the future ". I assume that the site does not want people using their information in general and so has erected this obstacle, but this is just a guess on my part. Any help welcomed.

 

Did you try right clicking on the web address in the address bar, clicking on copy then pasting the web address into the body of an e-mail.

 

There is no web address, no address bar on the opening page. When I attempt to paste an earlier (prior to the opening page), it will show up in an email but is not highlighted so cannot be copied or pasted by the receiver.

 

Tony T. Ah, just as I expected re the secure page, thanks for the info on keyboard functions for copy and paste. Will try the screen shots. Thanx, U.

 

My apologies I didn't know you had tried that.
