"QUOTES"

No finger-pointing, but that's how it is. Quote the lot, highlight the unwanted txt and --8<--

Personally I've always considered Windows aptly named. It's a pane, easily broken, is a poor means of access and a right bastard to keep in good condition.

Now to teach me for being a smartypants, I have encountered a "problem" of my own. From time to time, the board software changes the case of letters, resulting in an unintenional nonsensical message.

I have noticed that this occurs also to the lower classes who can only afford PC's as well:

Now :D is typed; : (nospace) D
Last night while trying to impose some incisive wit on a thread, I typed a reply which was supposed to read:
:D :D :D
but read:
:d :d :d

Knowing I had not made a mistake, I was curious and edited the post:
:D :D :D

Again the machine thought that I wanted lower case, so my published message said:
:d :d :d

I don't like taking no for an answer, so edited the post again:
:D :d :d , which published to:
:D :d :d

Aha! So then I tried
:D :D :d and hit "submit":

:d :d :d

So I deleted the post and went to bed.

I know that I am not the only one, I've seen the :d :d's and nod knowingly when they happen.... but why??

cheers,

:D It does it when it's the only thing in the post.

Midge, let me old china man put some money in your pocket. Use :D as your post icon and a “.” As your message.

:D

What's your point, Wongo? :D:D

So you get :D

instead of :d

:D

I was referring to your message of '.'. It's a point. What's your point. Get it? Oh look, it's nearly beer o'clock.... :p

" "

Point taken :D

You so funny :p

G'Day All,

I also have had the same problem of "locking-up" when trying to reply to a thread, with or without a quote?:( ....Not that it matters, as I'm the only one who reads 'em I think!:o ....Can't wait to read this one!...Ha!Ha!:D
savage(Eric):rolleyes: .

A common problem, apparently.
