HI All Sys Admins

How do I send an invitation to someone to join the Forums (& gain myself some referrals)?

Hi Gareth,

Send them an email containing a URL for referral.

See this help page for detail:
http://www.bsacforum.co.uk/forums/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_vb_referrals_explai n

It will give you a referral URL specific to you, just like this one ;)

By far the easiest way is to use the 'Thread Tools', 'Eail this page'. Try it :)

'Eail this page'
Or if that fails try using 'E-mail this page' ;)

Oh - and I'm lead to believe there's even a spell checker on IE, for those of that persuasion :D .

Cheers,
Tristan

Does it work in MSN Messenger...if my eldest got spelling hints there it would save me, and her teacher, many a grimace!

She's always "chatting" to someone ...but her spelling makes reading what she puts "interesting"

If so...where can I get it from?

Didn't use it yourself then? :eek:
The phrase you're looking for is 'led to believe'.
Black, kettle, pot, in any order you like.... :D

I don't use IE - as the latest available version won't show this forum correctly on a Mac :mad: . Now if anyone can point me in the right direction of some spelling tools that will work for Safari I'd be most happy :rolleyes:

Mr Pot (obviously) :eek:

You mean there's actually an advantage to using IE and a PC?
Strewth.... :D

I'm one of those extremely fortunate people who don't generally need a spell checker.
Not being dyslexic or 'educationally challenged' is something I had taken for granted for a long time. Seeing how some people struggle with writing even the simplest of emails has made me a lot more thankful for my ability to read and write. And a lot more tolerant with other people. :)

Mr Black. :cool: (Not the one in Reservoir Dogs) :eek:

Tristan, spell checking is built in !!! If you start writing in say the reply box, go to the edit menu, select spelling, and then select check spelling as you type , hey presto:). Has saved me much embarrassment ;)

Personally wouldn't touch IE with a barge pole now (even if I did have a PC) with the number of security holes it has, Microsoft have inferred as much themselves till they roll out their next patch on 11 April !!:D

Peter,

Thanks for that tip. Now if only it could scan for blatant stupidity as well!

TBH - I only use IE to check that our website looks okay when I'm editing it in Safari.
