LOL. Maybe it's a misused tissue?

Or perhaps it's an oriental version of a Bedford 4wd. :)

LOL. Shall we correct it for him? I'll leave you to do the honours ;)

I tried to correct this typo myself in editing but you can't do it that way. As it was past 3 am I just gave up. "Tissues" is also spelt with a double s.

You can if you know how, daddy-o ;)

Is this really worth a separate thread? :ner:

You have to use the 'Thread Tools' drop down menu on the top post header bar. This enables administration of the thread content rather than the individual post.

Have you not read the 632 page instruction manual? :D :lol: :)

Yep, it gets the thread count up and draws people's attention to correct use of grammar. :)

LOL.

I don't do it your way. I click on the thread in question, click on the 'Edit' tab, then on 'Go Advanced', and edit the 'offending' text from there! ;)

See these dafties using the Admin controls, you've got to watch them :eyebrows:

Indeed, but doing it that way doesn't change the thread header, only the post header.

Marco

Ya, this I would have discovered if I'd done the editing job :)

I've only edited post headers so far. Still learning, you see, but probably fractionally faster than Steve ;)

:lolsign:

He's rarely here so chances are he won't even read this.

I knew that'd get a reply. :)

Trust me mate, I know the meaning of busy.
