@Ian_Chimp i think ive sorted it! it
ll
Nope, still happening!
I accidentally posted in the original Topic instead of popping it here. Doh. But we got here in the end.
Itās the spaces. Just make sure that words like itāllā, donāt, itās, sheās, etc are all one string of letters with no spaces.
If there are any spaces it thinks itās fair game to read it as code, and do what it thinks youāre asking. (in this case Preformatted text
)
ETA: Nope. See above.
I tried it but it seems hit and miss as ive heven
t been putting spaces in! Seems ok on phone, but using laptop it seems to occur!
So you canāt even blame autocorrect.
If you spot itās happened again you can always go back in and edit it to see if thatāll stick? You should have a 24 hour window to make any changes.
I have a suspicion it may be when i actually go back and edit (as in here) as i`m typing, such as adding a word i missed, before i actually post.
No, it was that!
Ah, well there you go. The Preview pane is a really useful tool as well, so you can spot any obvious formatting errors before you publish. And on the PC version the Preview pane is right next to the reply window (which was incredibly useful when doing the Womanizer chart )
That`s the thing, it looks fine in the preview, then goes astray when posted! Oh well, as long as people can read my shite!
Just a little test on the apostrophe formatting thing as I donāt think itās spaces that are the problem, I think for some reason @WillC is using a backwards apostropheā¦
This is with a normal apostropheā¦
Itās time for Ianās nap
This is with backward apostropheā¦
Its time for Ian
s nap
@Ian_Chimp upon looking at the preview it seems to be this . Try using the other apostrophe Will, see if it works?
Iāll look into it!
P.S. this was typed on my phone with no problems!
Yep, Iām using my phone, automatically it will use the normal apostophe but if you click on the second page of symbols the backwards apostrophe normally reserved in formatting for opening quotes is an option that you can use. I think for some reason on your laptop youāre using that one by default.
Probably because i donāt know where the correct one is on my laptop! Iām old!
@Peitho Believe it or notā¦itās only in the last few years i found out how to copy and paste!
Hereās oneā¦a box is coming up saying i have used my quota of likes for the day, and to try again in 6 hours, but it seems the likes are applying to the posts i assign them to!
@WillC I just had a little message pop up saying that I only had a few likes left of my daily allowance. I didnāt think Iād used that manyā¦you get 50 a day I think.
It shows up, but it doesnāt stick. Iāve run out of Likes a few times, even though Iāve not used 50 a day. I think thereās a spam-style limiter on it so new people donāt go nuts.
Brenna upped it to 100/day yesterday, but it affects the associated Badges (Out of Love goes from āUse 50 a dayā to āUse 100 a dayā). Swopping it back this morning may have sent the counters squiffy.
