A long time ago, a very nice lady tried to post ''County Cork'' in her thread. She typed Co and then a dot, followed immediately by the word Cork. Of course, GR didn't like this one bit and corrupted her typing......I tried to explain, but I think the poor lady gave up in the end....I never saw her name again and often wonder what happened to her:o(( Merry

bumping for newbies...and some oldies!!!!

Heather Thank you soooo much......... I went to hunt for my old pair of glasses in the bag of dog biscuits then family demanded attention (Grrrr...Don't they realise have more important things to do on here :))) ) Got my life back half an hour ago and resumed my search (Having not read your reply)........Then remembered I DON'T have a bliddy dog :)))) lol Chris

hot mail, and Y ahoo are ok

No Heather, Have to admit mine are a bit posher,.... from Tescos. I leave them in strategic places too but after a while I have to start hunting and replacing them in those never to be found 'safe places' Kat

Kat, do you have a Pound Land near you. I have bought about 8 pairs of reading glasses (yes at a pound each) from there and scatter them round the house so one should be in reach. I have so many senior moments now that I look forward to the occasional junior ones!

LOL Heather. I have 4 pairs and sometimes I'm scrambling around trying to find one pair, having too many senior moments methinks Kat

NO Chris, it twas me that found me glasses in the dogs biscuit bag.

I think you are right Janet, I don't think you get ads on the org, net or gov websites

This has nothing to do with DOTS and BRACKETS, but reading Chris and Heather i had to LOL, Mind those gaps you two or you might fall through,now hubby has had it confirmed i 've lost it completely i do so love this board cheers me up no end when the rellies that i can't find won't play , hey maybe they fell though the gap!!!!! Ann

No, obviously spots that one. I think the idea is that it will prevent people using the message boards to advertise profit making websites belonging to companies. Therefore, org, gov, ac and net are not affected as they are non profit making.

The text recognition programme only looks for a . followed by a letter c (I wonder if you use a capital c it will object? I think I'll have a go.) www.genesreunited.Co.uk

Jim The only problem with your 3rd example is that if you leave a gap people don't often notice that they must close the gap up or don't even notice the gap is there. best to put (.) or just *) and remember to replace them with a dot. Kat feeling a bit dotty...........not unusual tho'

And Jim got away with only half a bracket......Or was that only because it related to this site? Chris

Liz Thanks for the explanation re (.) com, Uk ect and the other following (dots) That will save alot of use of the shift key :)) Chris

Heather Appointment made with SpecSavers :))) Dog Biscuits????....Errrrr, not me....Another Chris in Sussex? I must have a Doppleganger!! Chris

But what about the d o t that follows the w w w?

Have you found your glasses in the fridge yet Chris? Or, the other day, in the bag of dog biscuits?

Heather Senior moments all round here......I will have to copy and paste the answer ....And then try to remember where I pasted it :((((( Chris :)

Well, I think Id remembered it then til I read Chris's posting!
