  • I'm continuing to have several problems. [....]  When the other website has a bullet or numbered list, the bullets or numbers do not appear here.

    Assuming that you're stuck using 1 of the Windows platforms of the computer-using majority, its copy-&-paste operations from bullet or numbered lists implemented on Web pages via (X)HTML "ul" and "ol" tags, respectively, has omitted the bullets or numbers since before end of the 20th Century.  The only thing that Web-page coders or generators can do to prevent that omission is to hard-code the bullet characters or the digit-display syntax (at the risk of the numbers for the latter getting out of order during some future editing [†]).  So perhaps I've misunderstood your complaint?

    Not having compiled a dossier on you, I suppose that the issues you're reporting might represent changes on a proprietary apple hardware-software platform[¢], or some linux system.

    -------
    Note ¢: Or is apple using the S.F. Bay Area sentimental favorite BSD unix system instead of linux?

    Note †: The pusillanimous designers & programmers of browsers, who now have the audacity to refuse updates for CPUs that are less powerful than a Pentium 4 (2000), have never dared put in a sequential footnote numbering-&-renumbering feature, such as needed for developing a set of footnotes (not only the individual reference numbers, but also the set of citations to which the numbers refer), that's as capable as provided by MS-Word version 1 (1983, waaay before Windows was worth widespread use) provided with the retrospectively feeble processing power of at best an 8086 to hope for[‡], with 128 KiloB RAM allegedly sufficient (but practically requiring 192 KiloB RAM[‡]).

    Note ‡: But I digress.  Citations already found, maybe to appear with more currently unposted digressions, in the C.I. "Computers and Technology" subforum.

  • Hey Matthew,
    Is there a way to prevent people from changing the subject/topic name, when they respond?  It's confusing.  See examples below.  Both Geremia and While Wolf changed the subject name in the 'credit scores as courting tool' topic.  I've seen it other areas too.  Makes it really hard to follow a topic if the title changes.

    Thanks in advance.
