Im still Grey

Well, my box is still empty but I typed Ana in and it accepted it.

It wouldn't do that before, so something's happening...

Testing

So you can type into it. It just won't accept it.

I typed jingl over it but in preview it just came up "you do not own the username jingl".

I think it's to do with the sex thread. They haven't got round to changing it back yet.

Maybe it is to remind those of us who were incognito on the sex thread what our username is this week.

You can't type anything into it, it is greyed out to stop you trying. Grey means unavalable.

You know what,
I THINK I am grey. Oh Lord , I will have to emoticon and exclamation mark , just to get over the total shock!!

jollyg I wish you'd link to that thread. It sounds such fun!

No, neither have I - just a bit recently but nothing to shout about

I can't say I've ever noticed much Shouting going on, though...

I mean, there are posters who rely on emoticons and exclamation marks, aren't there?

But sometimes it's the tenor of the posts and even the subtexts of the remarks that can convey an air of unpleasentness. If you suddenly come across it, without "knowing" those involved (i.e. which GNetters are generally stroppy or narky) it must seem quite unpleasant; well it does anyway, even if you are used to them.

But I do reserve the right to use exclamation marks whenever I like!!!!!!!

Using exclamation marks?! Flip me!!!

Yes I was bothered about one thread I looked at and there was a couple of posters Shouting and using exclamation marks at each other.

It was reminiscent of children fighting over a toy, not grown ups who we purport to be.

BTW Im still grey

Ah! Got it! The grey bit anyway.

But wasn't the OP trying to make a point about "vicious" posters? She/he seemed quite bothered by something she'd experienced.

I assume posters are people who post ?

I never had a box above where I typed a post until the other day.
I didn't type my name in it, thinking I would be anonymous and could say anything I liked, but my name appeared anyway!

I did see this online - does this help?

Thousands of Viscous posters to decorate your home or dorm room. Buy movie posters, framed vintage art, inspirational and motivational posters online.

Perhaps we could decorate our posts

Does not explain the "viscious posters" though .

And Shysal and I are completely invisible!

I think it is about the username above where you type a new message. Used to be in black, now it's in grey. Still posts as usual though. Watch!

Yea, OK, but what is this all about?? Is there some smutty esoteric message that I am missing?

My email client (Opera) automatically checks spelling and marks transgressions with a smug little dotted red underline, so that yuou can correct your missive before it is wafted off to its destination...

I am on an old-fashioned PC!

Who would ever have thought that a PC would be old-fashioned!

Ipad does it automatically and quite often completely changes the word you so carefully typed. It thinks it's got a degree in English.

Ariadne and henetha may I join you in the of Gransnet corner please?

I still refuse to use hair dye, though. Although I did notice a few grey threads this morning. Not on my PC.

How do you use a spellchecker except in WORD? I really must get more tech-savvy.

Who are these vicious posters ?
