    Why did people like this?! I am virtuous and pure. I could be a brown owl!

    Oh dear - oh I wish I hadn't done it. I just looked up Brown Owl and came across the urban dictionary definition. I think I'm going to have to go and lie down now and take medication :o

    Having codes will always exclude someone because not everyone will know what they mean. I wasn't being quite - I went in the bath. But I don't have a suggestion that wouldn't leave someone out.

    Have codes, don't have codes - I can't force you* either way.

    *I say you cause I don't know who will be sending out the pms/who gets to decide who the pms get sent to.

    Leo, the idea is not to pm - instead to post the code openly on the thread so that everyone can see it - similar to the trolly thread where people are notified of supermarket glitches. I know that this means that Swagbucks will still be able to see it, but it just makes it harder for them. This seems to work well with the trolly thread (I think it's called the trolly thread)

    why would it exclude anyone. it works on the supermarket thread.

    A friend of mine just sent me this:

    Excuse my ignorance, but is that to do with the tool bar?

    I'm up for having a code word btw. We just need to find a way to include everyone :)

    I think it might be, footballgirl. I have been reading about it and some people attribute the toolbar spying on them as reasons for being a victim of a phishing scam.

    And thanks for your support

    Well FG.....apparently I'm told that the person switched on a laptop not used since before the SB refurb (remember the c0cked up party night ?) and when he tried to log in SBs he got that message popped up.
    So it is a bit scary to me that NEVER EVER EVER have I seen that declaration of just how intrusive SBs is ...not on my computer or my SB account.
    At least the Neilson offer was upfront about that kind of intrusion & we got paid for it legitimately. SBs gets all our info for free. $h1ts.:(
