      Excellent point @KFF - and all the more reason to get the text codes right! I would welcome your thoughts?

        I think you're spot on with most of them.

        I agree with making them simpler and easier to remember, that's why i don't really use them.

        On a mobile you type a message then have to go to the "help" page, then when you've wrote down ( if you can find a pen ) what you want you go back to the thread you were replying to only to find your message has been got rid of and you have to start again.

        Peak could be shifty
        Bang could be headbang

          Now I used to use computers (mainframes) before they had monitors ! You used to type instructions in on a typewriter connected to a remote computer by a modem. Then wait for a reply to be tele-typed back. That was hard work. Then there were years using IBM pcs with DOS command prompts c:\>dir , got quite good at that . But this old dinosaur is very happy pointing and clicking with his mouse, and does not want to regress :blue thumb:
          Could be very useful for mobile users though . Now to send a text message , I need to be sat down with a cup of tea at a table for half an hour to send one.So I wont post to GC on one :snorky:

                I don't have your password @Linz - I would never keep anyone's password beyond resetting it for them and making sure they are able to get back in. I think I will be able to pinch them directly from your post though - I will give it a whirl later on.

                  You might have done, but I wouldn't have hung onto it :) I could go searching through PM's I suppose, but I don't think I will need to :)

                    @CanadianLori - how about this one?
                    ThankYou.png

                    I will of course re-size this to a size that we all feel appropriate
