    Doesn't mention a space ;) And a cursory glance and it isn't obvious. On here or the forum.

    But I will use in future :)

    To be fair if all people did was miss the space out, then I don't think that would cause as much kerfuffle! As it is now posters don't add the E: or they put a small e: or they don't put the colon.....(or a combination of all of these)
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    al mac whats happened to all your posts??

    You have to quote him or it will look like you're talking to yourself!

    They sort of self-destruct. We call it 'doing an Al Mac' A few others have tried [strike]deleting[/strike] destructing their posts but nobody does it with the same panache!!

    Thing is now computertec has put a comps ending thread up today is this going to happen everyday where people start posting comps ending because they are trying to help when they're actually muddling things up even more.... might lead to the board been even more of a mess with lots of unofficial comps ending lists... hopefully tommorrow people will just take notice and not post any up so we can just leave it to the BGs to decide.

    I will be happy with whatever decision as long as the bickering stops lol will be much easier if people just sorted their own way of doing comps till then though
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    Sorry it wasn't aimed at you, I just meant in general as this sort of thing has happened before when comps ending hasn't been posted. I just think if the comps ending list isn't meant to be posted it should stay that way rather than people still trying to post them.

    I think for the 1st month or so people would be trying to post their own comps ending lists but then it would calm down once everyone knew they wern't to be posted.

    Do you think it's worth highlighting in red the bit where Divadee says

    " I have given computertec permission to post for today only. No other comps ending threads will be allowed until a decision has been made. "

    because I bet some people won't notice that.
