    With the donations received so far, this site is not going anywhere for at least 18 months - and possibly longer. So thank you to everyone.

    Do you have a rough estimate on the yearly running costs for this website?

    Just to add that with the donations we have had so far, I think we are OK for at least another 3 years (depending on how much hosting fees go up).

    Alan, keep us informed. I don't know about anyone else, but I consider "ThePhoto" a must have since it is a rate example of a photography that is devoted to "the photographic image."

    Hi

    I have £ on the second level Numbers and Symbols screen on this Droid phone.

    It is press and hold the Alt key then enter 0163 on a PC keyboard. IIRC. It has been some time since I used that....

    That would be in the Numeric Keys? For the iPad, £ is under the ABC .?123 key.

    I'm not sure if a USA keyboard has the £ sign on it. If you have a number pad, Alt-156 (hold down the Alt key and type "156") will give it.

    Hi,

    Yes, press and hold the Alt key on the IBM keyboard and enter the number with the number pad. The Alt key gives another set of characters and the Ctrl key gives another set as well. I have laminated charts somewhere for those. As I mentioned, it has been a while since I used them.

    Yes, this Site supports the UniCode character set and, as has been said a time or two, most keyboards (not mine, no number pad) can use "Alt+" to type in all manner of non-ASCII characters.

    On the other hand, one can go here to copy a quid sign for pasting into the editor:

    Voilà £

    There's strange things going on with the symbols - please accept our aopologies - we will get it sorted. This is an example.
