First time I have used this site today. Tried to put message on 'Trying to find', but noticed that my name is in black type, whereas everyone else's message is in blue and when you put cursor over my name it doesn't allow me to open up. Have I done something wrong or does it look OK to other users - please help as if its a bit pointless if anyone wants to send a message and they can't. Thanks. Nicky

Hello Nicky That is normal. It helps you pick out your own messages, but to me it would appear as a link. Good Luck with your search. Kate :)

Thanks kate, I guess that would make sense. It's gonna take a bit of getting used to, what with messages, threads, chat and all the different titles and headings. Nicky

That what I thought Colin, but I wanted to make sure I had entered the query OK else no point if no-one could contact me and also as no-one knows me, it wouldn't matter if I looked stupid. Nicky

Hi Nicky Escape now before the addiction gets you! I just casually looked in a couple of months ago & it's a good thing I live alone as I don't get time for housework anymore. Last w/end I had to do some overtime & got terrible withdrawal symptoms, almost DTs. Seriously, you will enjoy it, everyone on here is mad but lovely. Regards & good luck with your research Vivienne
