I would name change if only I knew how. I have tried finding the answers to the questions, but I can't.

I don't know how to name change, do links or write in bold, italics or crossed out.

After you've finished laughing at me, please take pity and give me instructions. Remember please speak slowly!!!

The links & smileys instructions are shown on the right of the box where you type your message - the important thing to remember is that if you want to make a phrase bold you must put the asterisks or whatever at the beginning and end of each word, not just at the beginning and end of the phrase.

I will be back with name change instructions in a minute, if lapin or someone hasn't got there first.

Aha Rusty I have just read your profile and realised you are one of those clever people that can make these machines do what you want.

Would you believe I was ICT coordinator at work for a (very) brief stint !!!

PS. Thankyou Olivia
