    No ideas on editing Jac.
    However I like the fact posters cant edit on the competition threads and might suggest Cormack keep it locked to stop the cheating sh!ts lol where’s the smileys. :{

    On talkinghorses a few saying they are having problems logging in here. I know Vtc is having issues but I think I’m right in saying that everyone can look in. It might be an idea if people who cant log in email a different address to Cormack’s at the moment as he may well be very busy.?

    I’m in tonight and tomorrow and not out until after the second deadline.
    If anyone is having trouble logging in can email me selections and I’ll copy them over on here.

    There’s a thread in the racing section explaining the need to change dfward. It’s not ideal but Cormack will do his best to sort out the problems best he can.

    3.50 Leopardstown – Colbert Station
    1.45 Newbury – Provo
    3.25 Newbury – Westward Point

    subs

    2.00 Doncaster – Robbie
    3.00 Kelso – Bristol De Mai

    Don’t give up dfward…I think it’s going to improve over the weeks and hopefully by Cheltenham it will be up and running OK.

    This seems a very cold site at the moment, no smileys and no quotes to follow up on a conversation..

    I think we might lose players this week which seems unfair.

    I had to change my password to get in here this morning and posting the compy was a bit tricky but here we are.
    All a bit strange but don’t forget it only changed over on Thursday and already things are looking better.
    Just want you all to stay put.

    Well done for getting in RedRum it wouldn’t be the same without you.
    Your eyes are perfectly safe now as I can’t change any colours on the leaderboard…
    (raised eyebrows smiley)

    Thanks Nathan for putting up your email and if anyone sees this compy and can’t get into the forum please email Nathan before the Deadline…

    GOOD LUCK
    Jac

    I didn’t notice that Jac, well spotted, 10p single and a 10p double with Faugheen.
    I had a PE teacher called Mrs Marsh, She was hot stuff and me being 13 years old would play her up something chronic. We always had to warm up first before doing anything and I would stand opposite her for when she done the stretch with the arms going down to the floor. She had a fine pair.

    With all the change forgot to nap Colbert Station.

    LOL..That’s why they always had cold showers in the changing rooms Nathan ;)

    I’ll remember you napped COLBERT STATION.

    You can get a smiley on here with the colon and bracket and a wink with the semi-colon and bracket..(hurray).

    Made a post and once it is posted there was an option that said edit but it’s gone now.
    Matron posted something earlier that the edit button lasts for about a minute.
