Keef, you are a darling. It wasn't the one I remember, but it will do!

[Keef]

No I thought I could remember another one too, but Christ knows where it is!

[david_carnell]

If I add someone to my "Buddy list" aside from them being very lucky what benefits does it have?

[mockney piers]

Not alot. I think itmight make PMing easier or something

[citizenED]

PGC, was it this one? Old Adverts. For some reason, the existence of that thread stayed in my mind.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well done that man. I wasn't going mad then.

[Keef]

Fair play citizen, I was searching ages for that!

[KalamityKel]

Is the server running really slow 2day?

Everything is taking an age to load, "forbidden" error messages keep coming up when trying to post or send PMs... ::o

[Administrator]

There have been a couple of issues and we are keeping an eye on things. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[SeanMacGabhann]

And no matter how often that happens, every single time I think "Work have twigged...."

[Keef]

LOL >:D<

What Sean said!

[KalamityKel]

I often think that too and peek over into the bosses little area to see if shes sitting there wiv a smug look on her face while shes playing on messenger, facebook and shoe websites... :-|

Dear Admin,

Question regarding spell check, when I type in the message part of a post my 'English' spelled words get underlined (as if they were spelled incorrectly) and my 'US-English' spelled words don't get flagged at all. What is this? It's taken me a long time to get used to the English spelling of things!

Many thanks for what's probably an annoying question on a Saturday.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

There's a spell check function? Where?

[candj]

Maybe I'm crazy, but my computer, Macbook Air, underlines words that are misspelled. Am I crazy? Or is my laptop smarter than me? I think you're right PGC, there must not be a spellcheck on the forum as I've seen some big spelling/syntax/grammar mistakes that are more than typos (myself included). ::o

[SeanMacGabhann]

it has more to do with which browser you use. Fire fox does it by default for example. I have not used internet explorer for years

[candj]

Zut alors! Safari is checking my spelling whilst I type. Many thanks and sorry to disturb people in this weird part of the forum.

[ed_pete]

Is it possible to specify wildcards in the message/author searches ? If so how do you do it ?

TIA

[mockney piers]

A quick test shows that an asterisk seems to do the trick for multiple letters.

ie "def*ly" returns posts with both "definitely" and "definately".

I tried ? for specific single letter ie "defin?tely" but that didn't work.

Dear Admin - please can you tell me how to upload photographs directly into the post. I'm sure this info is on here already but I just can't find it. Maybe send me a link.

Thanks in anticipation.

[KalamityKel]

Anyone else not getting notification emails of PMs?

[Administrator]

To upload photos directly into the post (sorry it is a bit long winded):

1) attach the image as a file to your message

2) Post the message

3) Click on the attachment in the new message

4) Right click on the image and "copy image location" or similar

5) Edit the message, click the icon to insert the image's URL and paste in the URL

Hope that helps

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm still getting mine Kel... including this morning

[candj]

Have you checked your spam ? My PMs occasionally get spammed.

[KalamityKel]

Thanks candj for the advice but I already thought of that before posting. Just wondered if it was just a glitch or something...

Tis no great deal. Not like I get many private messages anyway (sulks) :p

SeanMac I hope you're referring to private messages ;-)
