I hope I haven't bug messed it all up. [worried]

Jingle what on earth are you playing at?

Elegran Wed 20-Mar-13 11:09:19

No, the site is still alive, but the thread is pretty well wrecked. If you ask nicely, they might delete that post.

On the other hand, you could demand that everyone read ALL the post before replying.

She has discovered that if you do a right click while hovering over a page you can view the source code that makes it work. Then she thought she would share it with us. Are we grateful?

I am merely trying to sort out what my random string of letters means. And why I've been getting it when no one else does.

Elegran Wed 20-Mar-13 11:18:56

Cue pause while everyone has a look at the page source.

And BTW. She's the cat's mother. Or so my granny told me. hmm

Elegran Wed 20-Mar-13 11:20:55

Did you see your string of numbers/letters on the page source? Or one like it?

Elegran Wed 20-Mar-13 11:21:48

Miaow. (That from the cat's grandmother)

You've got the smit, Ana Shysal Has Jo been sneezing near you?

Ana Fri 22-Mar-13 19:33:38

Smit?? What's a smit Elegran? confused
Is it dangerous...?

annodomini Fri 22-Mar-13 19:36:08

I suppose if everyone used Adblock plus, the advertisers would give up on G'net! But I do.

Elegran Fri 22-Mar-13 19:44:07

It isn't a thing. It is said when someone catches a cold or something from someone else - is smitten by it, I suppose. Not sure whether it is a Scottish/Fife expression or not. The genuine Fifers and other teuchters will know.

Ana Fri 22-Mar-13 19:45:59

Oh I see! grin I thought it must be a computer virus thingy...blush

j08 Fri 22-Mar-13 19:54:26

OMG!!! Just when I've got rid of it. This is weird.

AND it's the weekend when there's no one around to sort it out. Just like when I had it. Hacker?! shock

Ana Fri 22-Mar-13 19:58:37

I thought that, about the weekend....hmm

j08 Fri 22-Mar-13 20:00:40

We've got no one we can phone. hmm

Ana Fri 22-Mar-13 20:07:29
