The GR techies have "fixed" it ,so the site does not accept most symbols.
Too many of us were using them in board names etc.
Someone must have complained.

"Board Police" again, ruddy spoilsports :-P

For those who haven't sussed it, the numbers need to be typed on the numeric keypad.

Using the numbers above the qwerty row doesn't work.....!

this fuction is good for heading on a letter.

Oh I see what happened....Alt +8 on this PC opens itunes
I got Zooey Deschanel (She and Him) a track called " Never Wanted your Love"
Kids must have made their own shortcuts to itunes

Edit:
I have lost the plot today coz I used Alt and F8, ...not 8
• this is Alt+8
