Kurt-

There's a weird typo in the ad I posted.  Is it possible to edit the ad?  Or can I delete it and post a new improved version?

Hi Tom -

Talking about those "crowpit" cushions? :D I thought it was cool you had a crow's nest on a CP-16. :D

Yes, you can edit. Log in, go to your ad, and look in the upper right corner. You should see "modify" there. Clicking on that will allow you to edit your ad.

Hope that helps ~

Title: crowpit and four letter words
Post by: TMcD on August 15, 2004, 10:32:19 PM
Thanks Kurt,

That was exactly what I needed to know.  But... when I looked at the text of my ad, I found out I hadn't made a mistake.  I had typed c-o-c-kpit cushions correctly, but the software doesn't like the four letter word that rhymes with rock so it put in the word crow.  

For amusement sometime, you might try typing various four letter words to see what the software substitutes instead.  It's kind of fun for awhile.  I am curious to see if the same thing happens in this message.  Let's find out: cockpit.  Does it say crowpit again?  I'll post it and see

Hmmm.

It said cockpit alright.  Different software in the BB section I guess.  Apparently we can type nasty words in messages, but not in classifieds.

I'm sure that will be a great relief to all. :wink:

LOL! I forgot about that. I'm the one that put in that substitute word, so I guess its my fault! :) Didn't think of "cock-pit" when I did that. :D I'll change it.

I don't think I set up the dirty word filtering for here yet, so do yer cursing now! ;)
