Re: This is a test. A test thread.

Hi Vester it's called being Nelsoc'ed as Nelsoc one of the IBM Admin holds strict rules on the profane. It's supposed to keep the forum in a fit state that Teachers can use the site when introducing the idea of Grid Computing to school kids.

It's in the forum rules and I suspect No2 stepped over the line.

They really do have a list of words you can't use (I've seen it and you wouldn't believe the language blushing) and yours truely crossed this boundry with the word Hell in the context of Mad as (Just watch it turn into Heck biggrin)

It's best just to take it on the chin have a chuckle about it and then find out what is acceptable. It's a level playing field you are not being singled out.

Many foul mouthed tirade is the result of being Nelsoc'ed for the first time but if you would like to loosen the language allowed on the Forum I suggest you are onto a loser. Nelsoc is very efficient

Re: This is a test. A test thread.

Is there a trick that the regular posters use to let you know who you are quoting? Entering [Quote="MemberName"] doesn't work, cause I already tried that.

It looks as if it is possible to nest a quote in a quote

Am I right?
