Can anyone tell me why Update Message/Delete Message appears alongside my name, unlike other peeps? I'm a newbie, correction an old newbie!! Don't fall off your chairs laughing - but what does lol mean. I'm now standing in the corner with the pointy hat on, the one with the big D. Linda

You are doing nothing wrong .... Only you can update or delete your own message, so the option only appears for you. Each of us has the option by our own name but not for any one elses. Good luck! Bridget
