We are allowed to enter 1,000 characters for each entry. So why do only a few characters show in the actual directory, and those do not retain the formatting in the main advert - for instance, "" become words like quote?

Also, how does anyone look at the full listing - I have clicked all around my own and Caroline's listing but I can't see the full 1,000 characters anywhere

I think what you're looking at is the summary, which is up to 255 characters I think - have you clicked the link to the actual listing?

where is the link to the full listing??

and... can you correct the "trade secrets" in the preview?? please!!

Just click on the link and you get a drop-down with options.

I've upped the amount of text slightly to 1250. The &quot phenomenon is due to using "quotes" - for some reason it doesn't like them. Just use '' - two apostrophies instead of a quotation mark.

Thanks Mark. the wording is a bit obscure though... view link details - it could be a little clearer like - view full advert - or something.

I changed the " to '' and it works - weird eh?

**Mark** · #56 (**permalink**) 04-10-2008, 11:38 PM

Good suggestion - I've changed it to "View Full Listing"

Can you add a catagory for Solar Heating please?

Thanks for your patience, Patricia. An Electrical section has now been added to the directory.

Thanks,but I'm told it should be plumbing as the heat is generated by solar power to heat the water.

**Emma** · #59 (**permalink**) 09-10-2008, 06:01 PM

Plumbing's there too.

**Mark** · #60 (**permalink**) 05-01-2009, 07:37 PM

Updated.

Could you squeeze in a Domain Registration bit under IT? And / or, or maybe combined with SSL Certificates? This is what I sell but could also benefit any web hosts who also offer these products on top of hosting?

Ppplease?!

All done. Mark thought it better under 'Internet Services' is that ok?

**AdamW** · #65 (**permalink**) 14-05-2009, 06:47 AM

Yep that's grand thanks
