Ann, you might have to delete the bits you don't want to show, at least until all the tweaking has finished

Lol, thank you Maggy! It was accidental, though! but great fun. I could see that improvements had been made, but some things weren't quite so good for others, and I always have to practice before I play!!

The more I'm using it the better I'm finding it

In my own *my accounts* I have my pretty bits and Daffodil in the firstname line, then I have Ann in my surname line and Ann in my maiden name line. That way, if the surname bit changes, as it did today, my name didn't!

Oh, try going into your tree and changing your name in that to your board name, too. I had to do that last time

Love

Is anyone else getting a page showing the thread stats. Every so often the page goes haywire and I can see who is looking at the thread. Marion

No Marion, I hadn't noticed it, but I'll keep an eye out for that now... oh dear, no more lurking, no more phantom nudging, lol!

I have added this by clicking add onto LLC's post, hope you don't mind

MrDaff

MrDaff Report 22 Aug 2007 20:48

LLC, it goes to the reply section, and just adds on normally, so that is like a *shortcut add* without the preview. Might be useful for quizzes?

Marion Report 22 Aug 2007 20:49

Daffodil, try clicking on page 4 again, even though you are on page 4, if you see what I mean. My page goes peculiar and I could see just now that Uzzi in the sun was looking at the page. Marion
