hello rootschatters i just wondered if it is possible to post the same message, on two different sites, if the message [as mine did this morning] covers two different areas,e.g.  mayo ireland, and mold wales, only sometimes it takes ages to type with one finger, and i dont feel like doing it twice,with slight  changes. also more people might see it , as maybe not a lot look at mayo,i am not complaining, this is a great site, just asking. regards nora T Huh

Hi Nora t

The answer to your question is yes, lots of people post the same message in different counties of interest to try and get a better response to their query.

You dont have to type it out more than once - use the copy and paste facility.

Place your mouse at the start of the message, press the left button down, scroll the mouse to the end of your message - this will highlight it.
press control and 'C', you now have a copy of that message on the end of your mouse pointer - move to another board, start a new topic, click in the empty message box, press control and 'V' - Hey Presto you have copied the entire message to that box.

Now edit the message so it reflects an interest to the message board it is on

Atta girl, Nora!!! Just practise cut and paste with a couple of words until you get the hang of it - I'm sure it won't take you long. But don't post the message until you have succeeded with the real message. good luck Clincher
