It wasn't just Heather though - anything that hinders our now quite smooth and quick site needs to be considered carefully before being allowed to slow it down again!
Although I am a her in real life, the last time I looked at my profile it was telling me I am a him but TB wouldn't let me change me to a her. It says someone else is using my email address. ???
I was able to change my gender, but it won't let me change from claudia to Claudia. (Thought it was time for claudia to grow up.) That's weird about your e-mail, IG.
Oh no, Liz! I automatically use capitals for names, then have to go back and 'correct' to lower-case when I see that they don't use them on TB... mentioning no names, sm (imagine italics here).
Quote Carol: "choices have had to be temporarily removed" Yes; I know the reasons Carol. Main purpose of my post was to emphasise support for Webbo and his team in their efforts to improve the site plus mention one of my personal preferences.
Quote Tiny Nell: "Long Live Capitals" Hooray and agree Madam; sorry Liz Quote Liz: "all that shift-shit" I consider worthy of the 'effort' to illustrate respect for the proper noun.
Lol! It isn't a case of no respect, I find shifting painful because I have always done it with my right little finger which is now bent and sore so it doesn't reach - I'd really like to do no capitals at all and write everything in lower case.
I don't think anyone would really take offence if you didn't, liz. I still struggle not to exclaim your name every time like your username used to insist!
So Liz, I take it you're one of the people who are grateful for word processors that automatically make the first letter of a sentence a capital? I hate it, but can see that it would be very useful for some people. In my day job I write some technical instructions where it is essential that the commands be typed into the computer in lower case. It annoys me when I see that Word has converted some of my work into capitals. Unfortunately, I've never found a way to turn it off.
I have turned that off, as being a poet it is intensely irritating! I Googled how to do it, there were several different things, and i did them all and one worked... this was for mac though. But you are mac?
I too find it irritating in poems, but it only does it on mine when I start a new line. What I'd like to turn off if only I knew how is the fact that if I've numbered a line it automatically numbers everything after that. If you see what I mean? Still, that's now a problem for this thread. Whoops - sorry! ">

An innuendo not to be missed?
Font and colour choice gone but Preview back ..... 'tis all of a dither.
At least Webbo is trying ..... {Stop those thoughts} Good Lad, thank you for persevering.
They will be back, and Webbo discovered that by adding the editing tools it lost the preview option.
lower case is the future, claudia. Self-abasement is the future, stick with it.
Unfortunately the gender option is not one I have access to on any accounts but my own. IG, I've sent you a private message!
Long Live Capitals!!!

Why are you ashamed of who SM is, Baggers?
I'm more winter white at the moment.
