Jesus, if you don't control what those links will point to, you'ld better close the board (at least) for young members

kind regards,

EDIT: no links in this post but my country was selected (next to "location")

And after all the pop-up blockers in use, from loading page 1 of this thread I've just been chosen to receive a free plasma TV! – Lucky me.
(Now what would I want with a TV made of blood???)

Oh, and just by loading page 2 I got a site for tampon comparisons!
A coincidence? (hmm . . .)

(And on the 'reply' screen here, both Font & HTML have been turned into links.)

I can see where this could be fun but I agree, the fun factor is outweighed by the annoyance factor.

OK - Thanks for playing! I think the winners are:
OakTree for the Scooter Cupholder (in response to the word Fitness!?)
Oorang for the CreateMySchedule software...

I've asked Smozgur to turn off the functionality in the Lounge, so if anyone is reading this after November 6, they will think we are insane. Maybe I can enable it in the Wik, so that if anyone wants to play, they can play there.

Oak and Oorang, for your prize, you can choose:
1) Any of the Holy Macro! books sold in the MrExcel store
2) A scooter cupholder

Drop me a note - use this e-mail... store at-sign mrexcel.com and let me know where to ship your book or cupholder.

Ah, but did you find it useful, and did you buy anything?

FYI, at time of posting I still get an in-stream link from the sign-in page.

I was about to post the same here

Most useful indeed! (I get really bad nose bleeds.)

I always wondered what those two little strings dangling from your nose were...
