NEW LOOK FORUM: Please be patient

Check to see if that option is there now.

I think it had something to do with whether a particular group is allowed to post HTML. Currently only the admin group was allowed. I have enabled it on Life Members. Let me know if that works for you. And if a member can confirm that they can't see the source button on the text editor.

Can you try it again. It should work. I've given the Annual Members group the same privileges.

[daisycutter 29,892]

yep, it's there now

[mauriesy 7,418]

only about 10 million warnings via google, bj. but go ahead and be adventurous. you might be one of the lucky ones.

are you installing from scratch or upgrading over a previous version?

Upgrading from 8.1. It was a big leap previously from XP to 8, but the promo for 10 wasn't suggesting a whole lot of changes vs 8.

i understand (don't take my word for it) that after upgrading and if not happy you can revert back to a checkpoint just before update, and that there is some time limit for this

but that was just a vague recollection. be sure to take adequate backups in case and do some research

when a line wraps, it does single spacing like this ghghghgv hghghg hghghgh jhghghg hghghg ghghgh hghghghg hghghghg hghghgh hghghg hghghg hghghg hghghghg ghghghgh hghghggh jhjhjhjh

but when i press new line {enter} it skips two lines (double spacing) like 

this

and this

how can i force single spacing when using new line {enter}?

I was going to bring this up as I just noticed the setting for this hidden away.

There is a setting that you can have that when you hit return it goes to the next line or it starts a new paragraph.

It was set to starting a new paragraph by default.

What do people prefer?

[deanox 10,046]

Prefer set to new line. Otherwise every post will be longer for no reason. 

If you want a paragraph you can hit it twice.

Haven't had a problem with Win 10 on five computers I've installed it on. Three were running Win 7, two on Win 8.

I downloaded it from Microsoft to a USB stick and you can use that like an install disk on any computer (genuine copy of Windows required). Saves downloading it on slow internet connections every time and stuffing around with the upgrader.

maurie,. did you do a scratch instal (ie format disk, start anew) or an upgrade instal (preserving previous data and non windows programs etc)?

in know people who have had no problems and others who have had endless problems. caveat emptor

[mauriesy 7,418]

Upgrade install.

My wife's laptop wouldn't update to Win 10 using the update channel because the updater wouldn't update itself beforehand. The install off the USB stick solved all the problems. I've lent the USB stick to two other people as well, and they've had no problems either.

The download tool is at https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10. You can use it on multiple computers and keep the USB in case you have to re-install later.

[bjDee 1,249]

I liked the double line space after 'enter' cause I do it anyway. But it makes sense to give users the choice and make the default a single line. 

And on the Win 10 upgrade, early days and only problem so far is Norton doesn't like the new browser in Win 10 so I have to go back to using IE11 or Chrome for now.

how does one insert media such as youtube. the "insert other media" tag is just for pics (at least for me)

Good question. It worked the other day by simply pasting the URL.

 

[Gorgoroth 13,185]

[Demonland 73,506]

Ok so you need to paste the link and then hit return and it will display. Then you submit the post.
