I dunno, god. Thing is, we're already booked for (two trips there) next year, so when we arrive in next to no time, one of the first things I'll be doing is add one of those - you can't get more than two into your signature, because of the limit to the number of characters in your signature - right at this moment, we have four holidays to Skiathos booked and waiting, but I can only show the first two in my signature.
I seem to vaguely remember someone's ticker saying it had been, so maybe instead of "until" it says "since".

Anyone else get this I don't think your problem is generated from this forum - I don't get anything. HOWEVER, I am recently (long after my first ticker) being bombarded with spam and porn emails - somebody, somewhere has discovered my email address and signed me up to it all and I fear it will never end as they simply use new email addresses as soon as I block them. GRRRR. PS You've got an extra line at the start of your signature.

ive just had a twiddle on adverts and found a piece where I could click on to disable I know some cookies attached to sites automatically track you.
Luckily I have a son with a degree in computer science to sort out any viruses that get through !

Sometimes, it's not a matter of reading the instructions properly, more of writing them properly - if people can't understand and follow them easily, they're better not being written in the first place. I try to put myself in the place of the reader, but with this one I did assume too easily that people would make the leaps of faith it needed, sorry, everybody.
