Euro symbol

Is it possible to use a euro symbol on mumsnet?

On my keyboard its Alt Gr + 4 (ie theres a $ on top of the 4 and a euro symbol to the right of it). On mumsnet its appears as a euro in the message box, but appears as a ? on the thread.

The Euro is not important - hence the reason MN do not have amechanism of us reproducing it

?

Hmm maybe I should set up a splinter site: www.mumsnet.ie Gin complete with euro signs

Weeeell, if GIN is on offer, I am ready to go to Mumsnet.ie or Mumsnet.eu or wherever.

Evening! And sorry about the MN Euro ban - we are all secret UKIP members a bit stumped by that.

We'll get BigTech to take a look for you tomorrow.

SlightlyMadSwineFlu · 28/04/2009 22:46

How come BigTech can look at some dodgy unimportant irrelevant Euro symbol

yet he can't/hasn't yet had time to look at the important fact that I can't easily access the thread to cut my hair

HelenMumsnet · 28/04/2009 22:55

Oh dear, SlightlyMadSwineFlu. Sorry to have, er, made you squeal.

Big Tech can actually do two things at once (if we buy him extra biscuits) so I'm sure he's busy working on your fix as well.

I will check with him in the morning, though.

Actually, he likes seaweed peanuts but you can send the lemon drizzle my way, if you like...

BCNS · 28/04/2009 23:16

aghhhh right i'm not trying any more !!

BCNS · 28/04/2009 23:36

I'd like to know.. when your asking tech.. why do some a lot of the alt/number pad keys work on post but alt0128 doesn't?? ( just so I don't look like a complete spamming loony)

MmeLindt · 29/04/2009 06:17

Tutut, Helen, if we had known that we can just bribe ask Twch nicely, we could have had a EU symbol years ago.

HelenMumsnet · 29/04/2009 10:09

Morning all. I've spoken to BigTech about this and it's now on his list of things to fix.

I have to say, though, that said list is pretty long at the mo, so it may be a wee while before we can trade Euros properly...

KnickKnack · 29/04/2009 15:41

I guess we can just barter or trade in a non monetary fashion for a while
