Forum Hassles

Henk,

Well done on changing over from the obscured verification digits to the photographic system. I was really struggling with the old one and often needed three or four goes to read them.

Do you have any idea why the forum software is now adding back-slashes in front of inverted commas and apostrophes after using the preview option ? It's a blasted nuisance and quite a recent thing.

Re: Forum Hassles

Hi Rik,

At first I also thought that it is great, (and it really is, as long as it lasts)
But then, mainly if you edit your post once or twice,
Which I usually do, cause my English is not my native language..
You get 2 deformed words to identify and type,
(Maybe because the system sees that you enter more than 1-2 times)
And that system is REALLY hard to decipher...
I notice that after editing, is the time you normally get the back slashes.

By the way, another thing I worth fixing, but do not know if it is doable:-
If you add a "smiley" or any other icon,
It would always go to the bottom of your post,
And it doesn't matter if you added it to the top line.

You need to cut it from the end, and paste it to where you want it to be..


Cheers,
Noam.

Re: Forum Hassles

Yes I have had the same hassle as Noam. With two words to copy, one of which is almost undecipherable.......and those back slashes Ron

It'a a senility test. I've failed a few times!

Re: Forum Hassles

If you click on the sound option (speaker symbol) it says numbers to type in, I find this easier than working out the words

Re: Forum Hassles

I seem to have lost the photo numbers and only have the unreadable text now. So I'm using the sound button all the time, but sometimes I can't even understand that Ron

Re: Forum Hassles

Hi Ron,

I can use the simple 3-4 digits for the first once or twice a day,
And then it starts with the messed up 2 words.

Yes, it is hard.
Sometimes I press the refresh button 2-3 times till I get an image
That I think I can understand..

(Right now I have "334" )
