    periods, commas, spell check... all these things would be nice... this isn't a game forum dude.

    pull out a magnifying glass and look for more nudi's. how did you resolve the nudi issue to begin with?

    if it wasn't for that existing problem... I would say zoa's just close up sometimes... though mine don't usually stay closed for more than an hour, if that long...

    Pending how new the Zoa's are to your tank.. they may take a day or so to open up... I have purchased Zoa's from a LFS and it took like 3 days for them to fully open...



    BEst of luck...

    just thought id add my two sense haha. Misspelled words show up with a red underline. You can just right click the word and it will fix it.

    Spell check is simple. As you type, poorly spelled words get underlined in red. right click them and pick the appropriately spelled word.

    little tip... I don't generally respond (i.e. help) posts that are this difficult to read... you'll get better help if you better articulate.

    good luck
