Hi Steve
It's one of these quirks I can't fathom out at all. I've added my favourites
list since the latest version of Internet Explorer. It's completely baffling
that I can get the phone numbers if I go into the website from Internet
Explorer, but not if I go from my favourites list from the start menu. How
strange is that? Anyway, now I know how to get them, I don't worry about it,
but it's just one of these weird scenarios I would have liked to answer.
(smile.)
Thanks.

Hi Jackie,
You said you can get all the information if you go to the website using
Internet Explorer but, you can't get the information if you access the site
from your favourites list. Have you upgraded your Internet Explorer since
placing the site address in your favourites list? I've had this happen to me
when upgrading I.E.

Hi List
I think I have now discovered what causes any telephone or mobile numbers not
to appear on the
www.yell.com
website when I do a search for the name of a business or category of
business. This is really bizarre, but if I go into Internet Explorer and type
the website address into the address bar, I can access the telephone numbers my
search yields. Similarly, if I go into the saved website in my Favourites when
Internet Explorer is open, I can find the info I want. But I have also got the
Favourites menu on my Start menu, and if I launch the Yellow Pages website from
there, thereby opening Internet Explorer, none of the phone numbers come up.
Now I know that's bizarre and frankly inexplicable in my book, but that's
what happens. So while I now know I can access the information I want either
by going into Internet Explorer and typing in the direct URL, or doing so by my
Favourites menu when IE is open, I don't understand why it doesn't show any
phone numbers only when I enter the website by using the Favourites menu from
my Start menu, which is exactly the same. Yes it seems completely stupid when
I read this back, but that's what happens.
Dare I ask why? (smile). The good thing is that I can replicate it and know
what to do to get the info I want. But I want to know why this happens.
