Title: Another one takes the plunge
Post by: doog on March 07, 2018, 03:39:54 AM
Having spent the last year or so contemplating Sea Wolfs in their various incarnations, I finally jumped in with both feet a couple of weeks ago courtesy of the very helpful YuriV. After a bit of a delay in UK Customs (which is only going to get worse after the Brexit idiocy), my Seawolf arrived on Monday. An early 70-72, 702-916 model, serial no 1,490,xxx, it wears its almost 60 years of quite lightly while avoiding being over restored or polished to death. I look forward to being part of the Zodiac family.

Finally figured out what the problem is. Posting from either my Mac or iPhone, if I use any punctuation other than commas, full stops or question or exclamation marks, the rest of the post from there, gets cut off. If I take these marks out then it works fine, so it must be something in the Mac coding for these glyphs that the forum doesnt like. At least I can work around this now.
