Ross, John, SOMEONE!!

Okay, now this is getting ridiculous.  Every time I try to use them it totally wipes out my typing and goes back to a previous page.

I've tried posting this twice now with an example but it wipes out my examples.

Did our last forum update change something?  I can't use the 'alt' 248, 167, etc functions anymore. 

Not so patiently waiting,

Have a Great Day,  Brent

Thanks,  That means...... Oh great, New Computer Time!!??  I hate change.  I'm starting to see lot's of little things not functioning as they should. 

Oh well, it has lasted me for 5 years now.  Not bad for a cheap HP laptop that's been carried all over the country, literally.

Merry Christmas John.

Have a Great Day,  Brent

My newest version of IE does that to me, with the older version I never had any trouble. It is probably just the browser you are using.

Possible an update I got recently did it.  I haven't changed anything other than with updates.  Same computer, same operating system, same browser, that's me...same, same, same.  I HATE change.  Takes too long for me to learn new things. 

Oh well.  Now my geek son will be happy.  He'll get to set me up a new system.  Maybe.

Have a Great Day,  Brent

Thanks Glyn.  A whole bunch of wise guys around here.  :lol:  :roll:

But it is nice to know people are willing to help and it does confirm that it is on my end. 

Have a Great Day,  Brent

There is never a shortage of people in my life who are willing to inform me that problems are my fault.

Brent, try 'Alt + 01456' on the num pad. I take it you use IE as your browser?
Parent - - By welderbrent (*****) Date 12-14-2012 12:14
Noope,  that isn't working either.  I'm going to get together with my geek son this weekend and see what I can figure out.  It doesn't work on my reports with Word or Excell either.  But, on excell at least I have the symbols function attachment ability. 

Thanks for trying.

Have a Great Day,  Brent

Guess not.  Don't remember having to do anything with that before.  Thank you very much.  I'll probably forget by the next time I need it.  Maybe if I took a computer class every semester...

I'll have to put all this down on a cheat sheet and keep it handy. 

Have a Great Day,  Brent

LOL Sometimes it is the simplest things that evade us Brent.

At least you do not have to replace a computer. :wink:

Very good point John.  I get to remain in my 'SAME OLD WORLD'.

Have a Great Day,  Brent
