thanks again!
Maybe you have some problems with quoting    I fount it hard to find your answer inside that "jungle"  
-> try to edit your message and add some [/quote] BEFORE your answer... or simply cancel the unecessary text strings  
cheers,
Alex

Yes Alex I definately have probs with the Quote thing. How do you cancel text string?

Your last message is very strange...  : although you've inserted the "quote" and "/quote" keys, it does not work...  

By the way, to edit a messagge (Eg for cancel text), EVEN if you have already posted it (and you want to change it), follow this simple steps:

1. go to messagge you want to change
2. click on the "Edit" button (see my attach pic)
3. choose "Full Edit" or "Quick Edit", it's not that great difference

Then you can also CANCEL the whole unecessary text strings before your messagge.
To do it, simply select the text and press the cancel button on your keyboard!
Note that you can Edit only your messagges (not those ones of the other members...  ) and you can do that only when you're logged on (you must have inserted your user name and password before you can editing).

That's all!  
bye,
Alex

The most helpful device for those having problems quoting and editing is the "Preview Post" button next to the "Add Reply" button as it allows you to see what you have created before committing yourself. The edit button that Alex refers to allows you to correct, for example, a typo after you have posted. I think it only allows you to edit rather than delete one of your posts but I could be wrong on this.

yes, but in this way you can also delete the unwanted phrases  

[Noopsy]

Or, of course, you can highlight the unwanted quote/text, and press the "Delete" button.

Yes, I mean exactly this damned thing!  
Sorry if I couldn't explain it better...

Ciao Alex, sono quasi venti anni che vado a Plakias. Per quanto riguarda l'Hexagon, sono due o tre anni che non c'è più; due anni fa aveva aveva cambiato nome e l'anno scorso era chiuso, ma non si sa mai, forse lo hanno riaperto. Per quanto riguarda la strada che va da Plakias a Rethimno di notte, non ci sono problemi se stai attento specialmente alle altre auto perchè a quell'ora non c'è molto traffico, ma per questo alcuni guidatori del posto potrebbero diventare un pericolo perchè alcune volte bevono qualche bicchiere in più del dovuto (il ragazzo che gestiva l'Hexagon 4 o 5 anni fa è morto in un incidente su quelle strade, di notte). Contattami pure per qualsiasi informazione su Plakias o Creta, o anche altri posti della Grecia.
Ciao,
Max

Cholera! By w pelni moc korzystac z tego forum, trzeba teraz znac jezyk wloski!    [Bloody hell! If you want to benefit from this forum in full, you now have to know Italian!]

Vogliamo andare a Plakias l'anno prossimo, nel mese di luglio. Abbiamo 4 figli di 6, 8, 15 e 17 anni. Pensi che faccia troppo vento nel mese di luglio ? Ho letto che c'è sempre molto vento a Plakias.

For the non-Italian speakers: is the wind a problem in July ? We'd like to go there next year with our four kids and I wouldn't want the wind to spoil it for us.

Plakias is well know for being windy.
See this post.

We're in Plakias now and it hasn't been bad since 21sep but the locals tell me it's been a bad year for the wind.

[Lut Azijn]

Thank you John. I do expect it to be windy, I just would not want it to be so windy that we had to stay indoors ! I am sure that on the days where the beach is inaccessible because there is too much sand blowing around, we can find other things to do. Does the wind tend to be less strong if you go inland a bit ?

Hi Lut
I was there from the 12.09 for two weeks and the first few days were very windy but then it died down to a breeze then none at all for the rest of the time except for the odd gust. So your taking pot luck whatever time of year you go.  
Yes it does die down a bit as soon as you're north of either of the Gorges.
