      i do know this and i have tried to change it sent a help to the greeters did what they said but it is not happening so the system will not allow me to correct it .... was when i set this up for some reason it ignored anything i put in and did its own thing so if you know some way of correcting it i would appreciate it......think i will have to talk to a mod because the editing process is not working at all....thanks hun.
