sitsinhedges Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is it just me but it seems that just about every time I press reply on a thread and the page loads up my cursor seems to just hover over pointless options such as strike thru everything or make the letters microscopic etc etc. There I am with my head down typing a load of script only to look up and see I've got to start the whole bleddy thing again, and whatever it was that polluted my hard work wont seem to go away. Do we really need all these pointless options that you seemingly don't even need to click on to set them in motion, has anyone ever even used them deliberately?

Do we really need all these pointless options that you seemingly don't even need to click on to set them in motion, has anyone ever even used them deliberately? Moan over Having just looked at it, I can see uses for 9 of the bottom line and 6 maybe 7 of the top. which means there are probably 25 or so that I'd never use. For example, the copy and paste tags, I'd never use them, I'd just highlight the text and right click it. Link to Twitter? What would you put on here that you'd want to share with the imbecilic Twitterati? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Left click and drag through text to high light, then click strike through or what ever has ben clicked by accident and it should revert back . . . .

You've got to use plenty of lead on ducks, they're normally quite high and travelling at speed! Oh sorry, you mean lead, not lead . . .

Gimlet Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Mine does another thing which is hugely annoying. Very often, when I move the curser back to make changes to text I've written, as I type new text the character in front of the curser is deleted. The only answer I've found is to hit the tab key to start another paragraph, go back with the direction arrows and when finished delete the paragraph space to re-join the text. This might be a server problem, but to be honest it's never happened in any other programme or on any other forum. I am a computer numbskull though which may have something to do with it.

Isn't that the 'insert' button on your keypad that is doing that? Press it once and it should stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Insert' just deletes once. My problem continues............... Actually hang on, you're right. It just started doing it now. I've pressed Ins and it stopped. I'll buy a new laptop one day.

PhilR Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I hate it when people post on the "how many pigeons are shot" thread and don't add to the running total! Or they can't add the two figures together correctly, if arithmetic is poor use a calculator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
