Just out of curiosity, is anyone checking and reading the Press Releases I post?

Though not neccessarily all the way through all of them.

A £600k cat is little more than an object of curiosity for most of us, especially me.

So that's 101% of those who read Site News are reaading Press Releases (though I'm with SIlie - not every word of each).
Doesn't the Great Adding Machine go Whirrr every time someone reads a page of this wonderful facility?

OTOH it does give something to think about when considering what one would do if the magic numbers came up. :) (An outcome three times less likely than being hit by lightening, I understand...)

(Incidentally, I've twice tried to put that wee smiley at the end of the previous sentence, but it jumps to the end of the paragraph. Anyone know why?)

Edited by Silkie: Dunno works OK for me. :) Did you perhaps try to remove the automatic space before and after?

I'm just getting to know this site. So, I follow the yellow jack.
Which is why I'm here now. At the present rate of posting, I can afford to take a look at all flags... but the nights are still a bit dark...I should get out more.

I'll assume that was a typo - for the meantime. :caveman:

Yes, the counter does click every time a page is read but the majority of "readers" are search engines so not very useful for gauging the value of an item.

Yes, the finger/key interface fails again so you can put your hairy little non-smiley away again just now.

If you move back into the body of your message, click the curser in the usual way, and try to use Nick's B, i, u, emoticon, etc thingies, they always ignore the position of the cursor and place themselves at the end of the message.

You either need to use them as you type, or let them do their thing then cut and paste into the position that you want.
