	"n" is used on a thread like this one, to keep it near the top of the board so that hopefully people will read it and take the advice offered! we also get bored just putting "n" ............ so sometimes make other comments instead! sylvia

	"n" means nudge - nudging a thread up by putting an "n' - or anything else for that matter, in the reply box to push the thread back to the front page - i.e. if you feel you are not getting enough feedback to your query, well just nudge it up again!!! Ann X

Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 23 Send Message	I am new to this method of communicating and intrigued by the conventions. I also find it fascinating how often the same people's names appear, you obviously find great satisfaction from contributing. Please tell me what "n" indicates. Stan

	Today I have added to about fifteen old posts pointing out what to do and so it will continue cos nobody ever bothers to look - I give up and just carry on telling them to click on the posters name etc.
