[iguana]

Ok I know this is probabally a daft question but I have 3 questions ref stuff on the threads-

1- what does O/T mean?

2- how do you edit some one elses babble and put it in your own reply about that topic?

3- where do people get all the little icons like the pac man face drinking beer or head butting a wall?

Excuse my computing ineptness & if replying please bare in mind I know bog all about computers and dont know my pentium from me pixels & im far more at home with an ink pot & a quill.

To quote someone click the "quote" icon in the top left of the message you want to quote from.

Smilies are accessable by clicking the smiles legend button on the left of the message box and folowing the instructions there.

Easy!!

That or nothing better to do, or I am sure in some cases, avoiding the "something better" by hanging out here. We should ask Ted for a chat room!
