Does anyone else find the one liners preceded by # with words running together that some posters use annoying? I believe it has its origins in twitter, but as this isn't twitter .......

Kitty the only way anyone could work out who you really were, would be if you posted on FB in your real name, on Gransnet's page.
Sometimes when I have nothing better to do I look at GN's FB page and try to guess who people are, but actually I can't.grin
Simply copying a thread onto a Facebook page won't disclose you real name - how could it?

there is no alt key on my keyboard. Apple don't do them.
If I press cmd3 it takes me to a website on trust and foundation schools confused
but there are [] on the keyboard.
This is why i have not really got to grips with the real function of hashtags on twitter. They are a way of linking tweets in a theme if I understand correctly. This does not work on GN!

Just back from the beach smile so am catching up. I understand completely that anyone, anywhere can google etc and read what is on the forums - I'm not really thick! I suppose I was somewhat taken aback by the announcement that one of us had cheerfully pasted this thread on to FB.

That's all; not a big issue, and it is now clear that it isn't bothering anyone else. So I shall retire gracefully and have a wine and here's one x about 7000 for everyone wine Cheers!

NannaAnna Thank you! Am dozy old bat. Have a wine

NannaAnna Sun 17-Feb-13 17:40:26

JessM I'm baffled. I'm here on my MacBook Pro and I most definitely have an 'alt' key. Bottom left hand side. From outside in, i have 'fn' 'ctrl' then 'alt' followed by 'cmd' the spacebar.
What have you got there???

NannaAnna Sun 17-Feb-13 17:41:18

or even then spacebar

NannaAnna Sun 17-Feb-13 17:44:49

janeainsworth I am wounded!! After all my hard work on my sites ... sad
Actually I have 61 followers already and we haven't gone live yet grin
