Two quick things - Selection and website bad link

There should be a place on the timeline I can click to actually select a single frame, rather than right click and "select image." The copy/cut/paste process is more difficult than it needs to be.
Also, on the forums section of the front page, ("The 5 latest posts from the Community forums"), clicking on the section, such as "Technical Support," leads to a 404 error.
Thanks!

you can select a single frame by making a stroke under it.
a yellow bar will appear under the frame to indicate it is selected.
but actually i agree this could be improved (made simpler)
it would make sense to be able to do a CTRL-C on the active frame. (the one between the double red lines)
without first having to select it.... !
because...:
when doing a CTRL-c without first making a selection what else do you intend to copy but the current frame?

good point here! I hope for this logical behavior in one of the next releases.
to copy/paste single frame, I personally use the [Push Image]* and [Pop Image]* buttons of the Animator Panel,
which basically do [Copy Current Frame] for the fisrt, and [Paste/Replace Current/Selected Frame(s)] for the second one,
I have added a third one, a "Pop Image" variation, which [Paste/
Insert After Current Frame], so no frame is overwritten.
if you intend to use them intensively, I would recommend to name them and to assign them to shortkeys.

btw, I hate these buttons names, and their icons as well ...
