A long time ago, a very nice lady tried to post ''County Cork'' in her thread. She typed Co and then a dot, followed immediately by the word Cork. Of course, GR didn't like this one bit and corrupted her typing......I tried to explain, but I think the poor lady gave up in the end....I never saw her name again and often wonder what happened to her:o(( Merry

Kat, do you have a Pound Land near you. I have bought about 8 pairs of reading glasses (yes at a pound each) from there and scatter them round the house so one should be in reach. I have so many senior moments now that I look forward to the occasional junior ones!

LOL Heather. I have 4 pairs and sometimes I'm scrambling around trying to find one pair, having too many senior moments methinks Kat

No, obviously spots that one. I think the idea is that it will prevent people using the message boards to advertise profit making websites belonging to companies. Therefore, org, gov, ac and net are not affected as they are non profit making.

The text recognition programme only looks for a . followed by a letter c (I wonder if you use a capital c it will object? I think I'll have a go.) www.genesreunited.Co.uk

Jim The only problem with your 3rd example is that if you leave a gap people don't often notice that they must close the gap up or don't even notice the gap is there. best to put (.) or just *) and remember to replace them with a dot. Kat feeling a bit dotty...........not unusual tho'

And Jim got away with only half a bracket......Or was that only because it related to this site? Chris
