Blackjack #3 Posted October 28, 2004 Ok, something here is weird!!!!!!!!! There is supposed to be the (#) sign and the number 38 and a semicolon after the word prompt. For some reason ebay and this board filters out this particular phrase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

video game addict #7 Posted October 28, 2004 I don't speak ascii Now deathtrappomegranate and anyone who read the post before I added the screenie is going to think I'm nuts or just very dumb Kinda funny really. Another one that gets put in there sometimes is this: Which is basically a non-breaking space. Some HTML filters & online forms mess things up, and a simple & turns into the thing you tried to post in first post CPU is correct, it's an ascii character, I don't believe people speak it, probably about as popular as that Wingdings langauge was. Ascii does make for interesting movies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
