    I dunno if anyone else does the same thing but on ocassion I make the mistake of typing www.baords.ie instead of www.boards.ie
    Do many people make this mistake or am I specshul, I'm suggesting that www.baords.ie could be linked to this site if there is enough feedback/concurrence.

    I always seem to do this with Google typing googel.com:rolleyes:
    Which incidently takes you to google anyway so it must be a common mistake.

    Yuo want boards.ie to spend €80 or €60 or something a year just so you dont have to learn how to spell and type? Why do you think the Favourites menu thingy was created?



    Money doesnt grow on trees you know ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    I usually get board.sie

    Either way... it only takes about 3 seconds to correct.

    yeah me too

    Some times when trying to type boards.ie
    I type www.superdonkeyporn.com If you could get a link form there back to boards that would be super duper.

    There are times when I can't remember how to turn on my pc. How can boards fix this? And more importantly is there a way I can get a moderatorship out of it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭Sposs

    I have seen one or 2 people make the same mistake as me before and I tried typing in www.googel.com and it worked. Google is, as far as I know the most popular search engine in the world and is about to be (maybe it has been already) sold off for ~15 billion, the googel thing is just another convenience, mircosoft word also changes common mistakes as you type. O and A are also in approximately the same places as L and E.

    I think you should get both parachutes too in case one doesn't work


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,137 ✭✭✭oneweb


    Why should boards have to pay for ppl's spullang mestokes? It's not worth the annual domain fee to baby-feed those who want it to go right when they get it wrong ;)

    It is what it's.

    15 Billion? I could have sworn it was 45 trollion. Also I love the way you've spelled mircosoft. Class.

    Ok, but the chances of this happening are very low.

    It's in Google's and Microsoft's interests to help idiots. Google gets more hits, and Microsoft gets less idiots ringing customer support. Boards.ie has no such desire.

    Besides, ringing 1800-BAORDS would mean they wouldn't even get that far

    All you have to do is open your HOSTS file (HOSTS.SAM in Win9x) with notepad and add this line:
    217.114.166.147 [url]www.baords.ie[/url]
    

    :ninja:

    HOSTS file in WinXP is in:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
