Can I make a guess that you are from the Telewest Leisure district chat place? If I'm wrong then I'm sorry. But nice to meet you anyway.
Online, using all capitals is considered shouting, so you might find other researchers asking you to stop using them. You will get noticed even if you use small letters.

Have you changed to GuideML underneath the edit box? That might be why. I can't test your space atm, as I'm having trouble with my browser.

Your number is your researcher number. If you look at the URL of your page it will be the number at the end after U.
In case you don't know the URL is the address of the page in the top of your browser.

Do you want to try the pic again, then I can check and see why it's not working.

Also, you need to change < ufo > to < ufo/ > (without the spaces).

I misinterpereted what you were saying, which is why my statement seemed rather odd. Sorry!
