Custom User Title; Add what you want and save changes.

When I go into where you said the above does not appear any where to add anything. Maybe only administraters can do it but doen't appear for us lowly ones.

I agree. That section only has provision for changing your Birth Date, Home Page URL and Instant Messaging. :confused:

Maybe the solution is to give us all Administrator status.

Thanks for correcting my spelling before Bob got me.

Neil/U-Beaut...and Administrators personally I do not care how often you change the look/format of this great BB.

Having somewhere to go to share/take options across the medium is in my view being mindful of the local content offered in an otherwise humourless world.

All felicitations on a good job well done in previous years and looking forward to many more in a growing and terriffic BB.


Cheers

No problems, Bazza.

Proofreading and correcting spelling mistakes comes naturally to me. I suppose, as Geoffs said in another post, it comes from reading a lot from an early age.

Just don't call me an Honorable Spell Checker.

Boyz I have looked all through the admin options and can't see any setting that needs changing to allow you access to change your user title.
As does, I also have the facilites to change my user title through UserCP. THere really shouldn't be any reason why you guys can't as well. Maybe Neil knows of something to alter that I can't find but you'll have to wait a few days till he gets back from the Brisi WWWshow...

Oh and if ya don't like my spelling...TO BAD! Don't read!!

Cheers!

Guys
New layout scared the hell out of me. In fact I could not post any replies(yeah, I know, that was the intention! )
But seriously, to be able to post I had to close netscape and use Microsoft Internet Explorer instead. Not so easy as this laptop is setup to use the network at work which runs netscape as their default browser, so I have to change my default browser each time I change location. So Neil, does this newest version require some later version of netscape? It always worked perfectly with the older version of this BB. :confused: :confused: Netscape tries to let me post but the window such as I'm typing this in does not appear. Everything else works

Other than that I love the newer features.
Also thanks for the fantastic BB
cheers
Jim
ps will see you at the Sydney show. I'll be the one without a dictionary, that little attempt at humour has landed me in the poop too much lately.

I like the new layout but i?ve noticed a problem.

It doesn?t like some punctuation like "I?d" that question mark is suposed to be a puntuation mark. and ?these are supposed to be quotation marks?
It works ok if you type directly into the window but if you write it in word (cos I can't spell) then paste it in it doesn?t come out even though it looks ok on the screen before you send it

an odd problem I know but It used to work ok

Cheers Dave

Sorry Davo, I can't replicate your problem.

[davo453]

Very odd Bob, thanks for trying though, I?m using Windows XP home edition, and office XP with the default word template.

Oh well.................

Computers are a constant source of frustration for me (and I used to be a systems analyst).

[davo453]

incedently if I cut your post paste it into word then paste it back into the forum I get this.

Davo
What browser are you using?
I couldn't even post with netscape but no probs with Internet explorer.
Maybe it isn't word or xp at all.
Just a suggestion
cheers

[davo453]

Ah yes Jim you are my hero

I'm using Opera and as you suggest when I try explorer it works ok, I like Opera though and it used to be ok. never mind.........

Thanks again Dave
