GR don't allow any 'commercial' websites to be posted, so they are happy with .org, .gov or .net but not (.)co or (.) com so you have to put () around the dot or * in place of it. Then it works. Not funny, just annoying, rather like the way they crunch up the first posting on a new thread and the way you have to spend ages deleting contacts one by one. nell

Nell, The email address is gov, but they still wouldn't let it be put on, and it's only a library after all. Kath. x
