   Thanks Surfergirl for pointing me in the right direction to this... Now it makes sense to me, all of those abbreviations/acronyms .. there is a lot to look at around this website, but its a lot of fun doing so..    
I still have no idea how to put on the pics/tickers etc I will figure it out eventually I'm sure
 Ciao all x
