What is this symbol?

USING FLICKR - That annoying '@' in the flickr address is always a problem here. Another way to overcome it is to get rid of that bit of your personal identifier.If you log into your account and go to profile, with a bit of clicking, you are offered the chance to give yourself a 'meorable name'.Choose what you want to be known as and once saved, that name replaces the meaningless @ and number sequence. Makes you more recognisable too.(Thanks to Phill for guiding me into this )

Leedslad -Just open the picture you want, copy the title from the adress bar, and paste into your message:http://www.flickr.com/photos/leeds-lad/3415880492/That works - don't know where all the rest came from!

Best way to do that is to 'save' the picture somewhere on your computer, say, the desk top, if it isn't already on there and add as an attachment to your message. There's a bit in Technical Help about doing that bit. Enough info? plenty of folk here willing to help with the techmnononologony thing!
