One other thing: I set up a form post option, so I was able to set up the output to echo the input and the + signs are still there. It only seems to be when I put those + signs into the datastore that they become spaces or disappear. Hlp! (please?) On Aug 4, 9:28 pm, readyass...@gmail.com

I was just thinking this last night when I wasn't at my computer. Darn you for publishing my good idea first! :) It doesn't bring the number of queries down to 1, but it does bring them down to 2, at least on the request side. Of course, it also means one extra transactions every time a new

Hi Jordisan, I'm working on something very similar, and yes, I do use both memcache and the datastore, to ensure that the cached data lasts as long as I want it to. Memcache, IIUC, is not guaranteed to hold onto your data for as long as you specify. So my code looks like this: on request for
