I know this is somewhat off topic, but try as I might, I simply cannot discover how to start a thread! I've done it before, but the site has changed somewhat since then, so if some kind person could point me in the right direction???

Click "Forum" at the top right of any page.
Choose the relevant Board from the list down the left.
Click "New Thread" just above the list of threads in that board.

Also, from now on, I shall uncheck the 'allow substitutions' box when on-line shopping so that this does not happen again.

This has its own problems. For example if squash is on bogof so you decide to buy some. You choose one orange and one tropical. Tropical is out of stock, so you'll end up with just the one orange and miss out on the bogof.
Even if you get the substitutions its up to you to remember what was on offer. So in my example, if they bring you blackcurrant instead of tropical you may as well take it and give it away if you don't like it as it's effectively free. Or refuse the orange as well.

Thanks for the help with posting. As a typist and PC operator of over 30 years feel a right twit not being able to sort it out! Used to get the answer when I put it in a search, but as I said, the site has changed since then.

I know what you're saying about substitutions; sometimes I would only get half my shopping! However, I have had some very odd substitutions so what I'll have to do is qualify my substitutions as there is a facility to "Enter note to picker". Wish I could think of an example of silly substitutions but it has been a very long day, in a very long week of a very, very long term and my brain is shot to pieces right now. Thank goodness we break up tomorrow otherwise I think the entire teaching staff might just go quite mad!
