GR doesn't suppress URLs with words like .net, .gov and so on. It is set up to spot any combination of a ''dot'' followed by CO. That picks up ''co'' and ''com'', but also Cornwall, Colorado, Copenhagen... Christine

What Christine means Mandy is you only need to bracket the dots if the address ends in d o t c o or d o t c o m in which case GR won't allow it to show properly on the boards.

As it doesn't have the critical letter/punctuation groups, we can spare the RSI, deleting the brackets: http://www.gov.ns.ca/legislature/legc/statutes/marrdwd.htm Note that this is a Nova Scotia website. Christine
