My goodness - I hadn't realised what a long post that was - sorry again!!
(I've had a few glasses of red btw)

I'll be interested to know the answer to this too

It seems some of us can quote if using Firefox or Google Chrome, and IE users are sometimes finding they cant quote.

I think Lori was trying to sort it out, and not sure how far they have with this ...


As for the post count, in your livecloud account it is still showing there , but i wouldn't know where to find it, so that would be helpful if someone can say where.

ello Moomin...

you can't get a post count as such...   but you can get the number of 'community points' an fm has...  which gives you an indication of how long they have been about/how active they have been.

click on the gingerbread man beside the posters name, and then click on community details.


As for quoting...  ermmmm that ones a bit more complex.    

May be best to start with asking what browser you're using?

type www.hoo.do  into your address bar...  & then you have to log in with your old log account name & password...

If you click on the little ginger bread man next to someones name, a dialogue box comes up and the post count is in the community details tab

Hi Ditty - long time no speak (how is Ditty daughter doing with uni applications btw?)
I'm using the dreaded IE - have tried Chrome and Firefox but just don't get on with them, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it if it's a browser issue.

Aha!  now i know where to find it, i can check on a few others 

Post counts in there too Ditty

thanks for that, Al - I've tried it and it works!!

Moomin, I've posted this elsewhere as a temporary way for IE users to quote. Before opening the Post Reply box, hightlight the text to quote and press Ctrl-C to copy the text. Open the Post Reply Box, then I suggest you type "Quote from " then the user name then press Ctrl-V to paste the text you copied. It will appear as ordinary text as part of your comment which is why it's best to type who you are quoting.

Nice to see you back, dear! xx

But I want it in a flippin box! Copy and paste my arse..

its done now (the UCAS thing)...    she was ahead of the game... til she went down with Glandular Fever..  that put everything on hold.    But.... to her credit, she's caught up all the work now (she had to drop DT... which she was only doing as her "fun" lesson anyway...  but that freed up the time so she could catch up the half terms work she missed cos she was ill).

So..   UCAS application went off last week...   had acknowledgements from all the Uni's except Imperial...   which is the one she wants to go to (typical).   Also..   the school sorted out some sort of special circumstances thing (supported by a med certificate) cos of the Glandular Fever.

So..... all we can do is wait now!

She is still planning on having a gap year though...   despite tuition fees going up n all that.   (TBH she isn't that concerned about the fees...    in her words "I'm going to uni so that I can get a well paid job...   I haven't got a problem paying back the money that opportunity cost when I am earning".    And we don't have a problem with it, cos for once its not us paying for it!


hows your boy doing?

is it?

*goes to look harder*

I'd rather not Toid...   love ya n all that but....

Hah!
I can't even access the little "mooning" smiley either.

allow me ...

My oldest (the one I had all the drama with 18 months ago on results day) is loving it at Lancaster, and like you I am going through the application process with youngest son - he got his appliaction into UCAS 2 weeks ago - had acknowlegements but nothing else as yet. He is not taking a gap year however - I think the competition will be more fierce this year as a lot will not take the gap year though your daughter has a very good point about the repayment of her fees.

Can't see it though.

YAY!!!!   result!!

Yep...  I think so too!     Loads of her friends at school have cancelled the [very expensive] gap years their parents had booked for them because of the fee's increase.

My daughter has always been adamant she is having a gap year..  she made a decision when she was 14 to work her ass off...   and not do alot of the things her friends were doing, but instead save them all up and have a year off after her a levels.   Add to that the Glandular Fever...  even I can see she needs a year to recharge her batteries.  She just wants to get a casual job, and live a little bit before embarking on the next 4 years of full on studying (the course she is applying for at uni is a 4 year course.... typical her! )


So....   we'll be doing the group hug thing again in the summer then....  starting two weeks before results day! 

awww... well...  I will describe it...   its the mooniest moony you have ever [not] seen...   the buttocks are pert...  the moon is full...    its mooning perfection 

You confused me there Ditty - You've changed your name  since I was last online!!

Yep third Thursday in August (or whenever it is) - on here - it's a date!!

Sorry Moomin...  

I knew it would throw this thread into kilter...  


but I had to get me gladrags on
