 . . .     the Wednesday pm Weigh****chers' meeting in Pineville . . .
AND
 . . .  rly October, the Weigh****chers is . . .

They are to block out hidden swear words!!  If you take the letters that are asterisked out, you will see the word they are blocking out...it is crazy and annoying, I know!! There is a filter that you can turn on or off...let me go look and i will try to let you know where abouts it is at!!


OKAY found it...go to where you change your avatar pic, in USER SETTINGS and at the very bottom of that page, there will be any option that says "ALLOW ADULT CONTENT"
click yes and that should make them asterisks disappear :)
Hope this helps!! JAMI

That is freaking hysterical!!! 
Now I understand, I was typing in Weight and then Watchers and even with the space, it didn' like those two words juxtaposed beside each other!

(BTW, when I click on the smiley icon to enter the icon the URL ends with an "f" "c" "k" and the word "dialog"    !!!  Way too funny.

Thank you so much for explaining!
