I think so, because it is supposed to take you to the T&C's which are above, Guess that was what they were doing

[piskieinboots]

Yes, I guess so - I forgot we are an open forum and all can see without logging in

[SarrissUK]

I don't know if it's possible to take a piece of text like Terms and conditions and make that into a link. I can't figure out how to anyway! Is it ok to create a short link using bit.ly to do a short URL instead?

[piskieinboots]

I copied the url of this page and dropped it into Tweetdeck which then did the biz on the shortening for me

Like so..

I don't do Twitter, not even for the slim chance of winning some books.

[SarrissUK]

Thanks Piskie! I should be able to just copy your message there and the url should work, right? I should know these things LOL!

[SarrissUK]

Yes, it works.. Thank you again Piskie!

I use it as a business tool as well as social

[veggiechicken]

I don't do business or social - miserable old thing that I am! Can't even send a text message and my mobile is so antiquated it should be in a museum - but I never use it anyway!
Sometimes I feel that technology is passing me by without so much as a nod.

[SarrissUK]

But you do discussion forums on the web, which isn't far off Facebook or Twitter! In fact, Twitter is easier (most of the time, she says, after the embarrassment of the link issue LOL)

I am not a Twitter person, I will admit - I'm Facebook all the way.. couldn't be without it these days

[veggiechicken]

I have a Facebook and a Twitter thingy but I never use them! Just seems to be the thing to have,,,,
