You are right Meles and I know there are some there, I have a couple!

They show on my interests but just not searching on alphabet.

I know "why" it's happening,  but not (yet) how to cure it Roll Eyes

the letters are sometimes being translated to lower-case and the program is searching for upper-case. 
That's  why it's happening.

But why the upper-case letter is suddenly transformed to lower-case ......
I don't what the problem is  there Huh

I'm working on it, and will no doubt find an answer soon ...

We'll keep our fingers crossed that it's sorted out, Bob. I'm starting to feel like it could be my fault because I added so many names the other day before this happened but of course that's nonsense- isn't it?

Well, all those capital letters you put in obviously overloaded the computer, and it made them small, so it could cope.

Or not!  Grin

I merged markheal's topic with this, so it looks like Meles was a bit too fast with the praise.

I've corrected G (and I) by hand, but I still don't know why the crucial variable is sometimes upper-case (correct) and sometimes lower case (wrong).

Totally random, too ... tomorrow G will probably be OK but maybe another letter won't be  Cry  Embarrassed  Shocked

Yes - there have been problems tht the moderators have been trying to fix. They've been working hard and I'm sure it'll be fine tomorrow.

Hi

Just to say, surnames beginning with N seem to stop at Ne.
