madsomtimes, education should now be fixed.

Let us know if there are any others that were missed during testing.

SV - Freelancers now fixed.

RTKM - an unavoidable side effect I'm afraid. However, the good news is that as you read threads now the colour change will remain.

Mad - back in a mo'.

I can't get no education!
Honestly, all I can get is extra curricular activities like piano lessons and brownies.

Nobody said anything about your getting paid! More time on Mumsnet and the praise of your adoring public (and me) should be reward enough!!!

DG - you called your children ds1, ds2, ds3 and dd? that was lucky wink

YMT: erm... a job you say? <<pretends to think about it>>> as in being paid for mumsnetting... <<<pretends to think a bit more>>> as in a real life excuse to sit here all day just "checking" that things work ok? <<<gets calculator out, works out bills, gives YMT a figure>>>

I'll do it for that much, ok?

and if anyone can tell me why I posted that my "add message" button doesn't work, then proceeded to nearly wear the bloody thing out on other threads trying to add a farking message, that would be good wink

My 'add message' button doesn't seem to work either.
Contact the poster Contact mumsnet about this post By Squonk on Thu 02-Oct-08 07:58:06
came on to check that "early" meant before I was up.

It did.

That was good.

Saw lapin's post about the "add message" button not working and wanted to let you know that mine doesn't either.

Yep, you're right, the Add message script isn't working for me either

CSWS, it probably depends on which way you have your thread sorted - if it's newest at the bottom, you won't use that link I guess

YMT - Yo Mamma Tech? grin

The add message button is broken as she says (can't remember who actually but if I scroll up again it will take me all day!)

there is a lot of scrolling going on.

Err, YMT - the 'add message' button doesn't work any more, so it could be a quiet morning on MN

All done. However, there were a few reasonably complex (but necessary) internal changes, so if we've screwed anything up, please do let us know. Like you wouldn't anyway...

Add your message here

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
