    Missing member name in "Ratings You've Given"

    Can't believe I'm starting a thread for something so trivial, but... In the Home > Your Account > Ratings You've Given section, the member name of the person thanked doesn't appear. You rated <a class="username primaryText" href="members/141176/"></a> 's post

    An Idea ....

    The technology for accurate mapping is not new. Try searching for "seabed mapping systems" and you'll see some possibilities. The remote controlled boat may be a twist, but I would question its practicalities. When the boat breaks you'll have to go to collect it and it could pose a hazard to...

    new business name

    Read this. Note that you will have to disclose your own name and business name on any official paperwork like invoices or letters. For comparing company names Ltd and Limited are disregarded, so you can't normally do what you suggest. See this.

    BT email address with stop working in September

    Doesn't appear to be a scam judging by this. Seems to be 1.60 a month and not 31.60. Whether it's worth paying or not depends on how much you value your existing btinternet address.

    Beginners business ideas

    I guess I did, sorry! :p Your question is very broad. Perhaps you should state your existing skills, experience and general interests to narrow the field a little. There are loads of business you can set up with little to no skills required but there will likely be a lot of competition since...

    Giving credit to customers

    Unless you are planning on doing it regularly, it would seem to be an unnecessary expense and hassle. If you are planning on doing it regularly then you need to be absolutely clear on the business risks involved, ie get proper advice and avoid "simple sample documents". Personally, I would...

    shop.ukbusinessforums.co.uk timeout

    One for the site admins: shop.ukbusinessforums.co.uk refuses to load for me and just times-out. Since it seems to be accessed by the right hand banner advertisement when browsing without Javascript, it causes each page to appear to take a long time to fully load. There is also a direct link in...

    Blurry Blocky Stuff in Paint image.

    Been a while since I've used Paint, but I don't remember it being particularly good for much. You could try installing Gimp which is FOSS for raster images. If you want to do vector graphics then consider Inkscape. In any case, your header is a JPEG image which, as a lossy compression format...

    Recommend a Laser Printer

    Do you already use or would you consider using remanufactured ink cartridges? They are available for your printer for around 10 quid for a full set of inks and encourage reuse which should be good for the environment.

    Not a PayPal rant...

    Is your surname really "K"? Is your address really uniquely identifiable by just house number and city name? Did you use these "shorthand" details in your PayPal application? Trying to withhold information from your whois record will not persuade PayPal of your legitimacy. You also need...
