    Hi Agent Scully, sometimes this happens when there's a high vol of traffic. Maybe try again later. HTH :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Hey

    Pardon me if this has already been posted, but I did a search and nothing showed up

    I was wondering how to get my name and other details in an email without having to type in every time.:confused:

    Then it came to me:doh: Just input the all your details in your signature on your email. Every time you start a new e-mail up they pop . You can delete any details that are not required

    I do this, saves a lot of time. I've got 3 different signatures:- 1 for "grown up" comps, 2 for childrens comps ~ 1 for my DD and 1 for my DS (not that they know they enter ;))

    This'll probably get moved to the chat thread in a minute, but if you have a googlemail address, in the "Labs" settings there's a function called "canned responses", where you can set preset responses, so I've got one that has a generic response, with my details and "the answer is..." - entering email comps takes seconds thanks to that!

    Thanks to everyone who posts freebies and comps! :j

    Yeah, I already have a signature set up, saves a lot of time, as does Roboform.

    (PS. What does DD & DS stand for?)
