Thanks Andrew, I was just typing that in when you replied!

the name is a bit of hint isnt it? “profile Background” appearing as my Profile Background! :blush:

In German one says “Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil.”…

Especially when it comes to using a forum!

There are also special people who can read, but not write, and yet others who can write, but not read. This is why policemen used to travel in pairs.

“Aber wer nicht lesen kann, ist vielleicht blind, nicht blöd”

…but he who cannot read is perhaps blind, not stupid.

Worrying if there’s a device- or platform-dependent glitch (android users)?

Looking at this table, I think the red issue has to do with the apostrophes being used. You will see each Red section has either a single or double apostrophe at each end…
Could it be some default setting in a table being inserted that causes this?

Of course the bloody red doesnt appear in my copy of the table :frowning:

For a complete list of the ways in which technology has failed to help mankind…

Press “1” now.

Sorry, can’t do that at the moment, I’m looking for the ‘any’ key

Ever had a user on the phone who’s computer cannot read CDs, and asked “Are you putting the CDs in so that the silver side is down?” only to hear the response “Both sides are silver.”?

Ah, the joys of tech support… When you get answers like that, just ask “can you please put your child on the phone” then you can deal with a digital native…

Ha, ha! :laughing:
Or how about: my old computer had a cup holder that came out the front when you pushed a button, until it broke off, so I bought a new flat face computer, but now the cup holder comes out sideways. :wink:

I remember a story from the 8" & 4.25" floppy drive days. A secretary went back to the computer store complaining that not only did none of the recording discs work, they were next to impossible to get out of their sleeves.
