i can never remember which slash is called what so i'll talk you through both ...

/ = alt + g
\ = sym + g

[rrrebo]

/= front slash
\=backslash

[mandy10]

That doesn't work

I need the \ symbol....ANYONE KNOW???

One more Q I have call log and I have messages right...ok when I get a missed call of course it says missed call x however many calls were missed...AND it pops up in messages where my text messages are recieved it will say missed call in there as well. I don't want it to say missed calls in my messages only in my call log?

[mandy10]

SYM+G does not work there is no symbol there.

[mandy10]

bb menu >> options >> call logging >> NONE

[wolfscmb]

press SYM ... wait for the pop up screen and then select the \ ... it should be assigned to the G key ...

Have you tried entering the email address in a field which allows the forward slash and then copying and pasting it to the email setup.

[mandy10]

I tried the copy and paste and it took out the \ symbol

[daddybear]

this symbol- \

is actually called a backslash

this symbol- /

is called foreslash

not to confuse anyone...

Just wondering, are back and forward slashes even valid characters in email addresses? I have never seen an email account with one. Also, I have never seen them listed as valid characters of an email address. Symbols like @, / , etc are used by the computer when locating addresses/files. So, this makes me wonder how you have an email address with one.

I think you are correct in your assumptions. One must wonder if Mandy is trying to put in a web address instead of an email address.
