Bullets disappearing in discussions?

Has anyone else noticed that bullets are not appearing in discussion threads?  for instance, I made the following with bullet pint lists:
Bullet 1
Bullet 2
Bullet 3
it looks fine in the editor but there are no bullets or indentations when it's posted.  I haven't tested numbered lists yet, so let's do that now.
Numbered 1
Numbered 2
Numbered 3

It would appear to be a problem with the cascading style sheets which define how all the components of a page on this site are displayed and dates back to the last round of maintenance (and doesn't affect the initial post in a thread). As Klaus says efforts are being made to bring the matter to the attention of the hosts.
What has generally been working for me is to create block with a list surrounded by text
Bullet 1
Bullet 2
Bullet 3
indent the whole block in the advanced editor, then unindent the surrounding text.
The same trick can be used if you have a numbered list with 10 or more items, otherwise the initial digit is cut in half.

  • Bullets do not hold in text sections of PP 2004 under Mac OS 10.6

    I have been posting elsewhere without any luck so hoping to get some help here.
    In my template I have set it up that if I open a new slide it is set to have bullets.
    However, if I remove the bullet from the first line and leave it for the others, it will be back next time I open the show.
    If I remove them from all lines it is the same.
    If I set my template to be without bullets it works in a singe text field in a slide, but if I create a slide with two text fields the bullets disappear after opening again.
    Old shows seem to not be effected. New ones are.
    Any help is appreciated as I need to use this show in the next few days and it looks a mess either way.
    Thanks

    This is not really the right place to ask how-to questions about a Microsoft product. Try over on the [MS Office for Mac forums|http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums>.

    I have posted there before with no luck like in other forums, so thought I try my luck here, you never know where the clever folk hang out.

  • Problem with bullets in a UL

    I have a problem, with ordered lists and the bullets hiding
    behind an image. You can view the layout on the page
    http://www.mansfield.gov.uk/env_menu/ts_energy_main/ts_energy_savings.htm,
    at the moment it uses the style
    ul {
    list-style-position:inside
    However I don't really want the bullet to be inside, however
    when I remove the above style the bullets disappear behind the
    image, I've tried using the extreme style of
    ul {
    margin-left: 10em;
    padding-left: 10em
    but this does not move the list elements next to the image,
    only the others.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to move the bullets out from
    behind the image?
    Thanks

    When I remove list-style-position:inside the bullets show
    fine in FireFox.
    Not sure how IE is handling that since I didn't DL your
    page.

  • Where do my bullets go?

    Hello webwizards,
    I am working on a Wordpress site. I styled a list so that, instead of using standard bullets, it uses my own bullet as a background image like so:
    #content ul {      list-style: none;      padding-left: 0px;      margin: 0px } #content ul li {      background-image: url(images/bullet.png);      background-repeat: no-repeat;      background-position: 0px 12px;      padding-left: 12px;      } 
    This works as I want it to, see it here:
    http://www.littlewings-wanbetaler.nl/wordpress/zuskookt-overal/op-de-markt/
    Now when I place an image in the post (from the WP dashboard) my bullets disappear, at least where the image is.
    The image is floated to the left.
    Why is this and how can I fix this?
    Thank you

    there is nothing wrong with using background images for styling lists. Some even say it is a better option.
    I think the problem is elsewhere, maybe an inherited style or something. Those wordpress sites can easlily become complex.
    If I test just the code for the list with an image floated to the left it works fine;
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/604341/floatlist/floatlist.html
    There are still issues like the last lines running under the picture, but it works (the bullets show) and it is the same code as the link I gave in the opening post. (I put a blue border around the list for the test)
    [edit]
    I think I sort of solved the problem,  since I can't seem to reproduce the problem again. At least my bullets don't disappear anymore, maybe with some tweaking I wlll get the rest of the issues solved.
    Thanks for looking

  • Shooting multiple bullets

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my
    character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The
    bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I
    press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a
    motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set
    the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that
    the bullet always comes from the gun.
    My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly
    out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the
    first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I
    want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space
    bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.
    if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
    bullet_right_mc.y = (ball_mc.y -38);
    bullet_right_mc.x = (ball_mc.x + 253);
    bullet_right_mc.gotoAndPlay("shoot");
    Thanks
    Ryan

    You need to create new instances of the bullt for every use
    of the spacebar. To do that you need to have the bullets called in
    dynamically from the library.
    First you need to designate the bullet mc in the library as
    an item that can be loaded dynamically. Right click on it in the
    library and select Linkage from the menu that appears. In the
    interface that appears, select Export for Actionscript. A Class
    name will automatically be assigned, which you can change as you
    like (lets just say you name it Bullet). This is the name you will
    use to call in the bullets.
    When you click OK to close that interface, it will come up
    with an indication saying it can't find the class so it will create
    one... click OK there to.
    Then, your code will become...
    if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
    var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
    bullet.y = (ball_mc.y -38);
    bullet.x = (ball_mc.x + 253);
    this.addChild(bullet);
    bullet.gotoAndPlay("shoot");
    That code was quick and dirty, so it probably has an error or
    two inherent, maybe the last line of it,
    so if that fails you could replace it with
    this.getChildAt(this.numChildren-1).gotoAndPlay("shoot");
    that might fly
    In any case, it will at least get you moving towards having
    mutliple bullets flying. You can post again if you have a new
    problem to solve.

  • I have no sound after upgrading to Yosemite

    Ok so after I installed Yosemite and rebooted I no longer have any sound..  I found an article that someone posted stating the same thing happened to them...  The fix online was to go to the Sound utility in your system preferences and select "Built-In" under the Output to:  However, I do not have an option for Built-in

    hi nadine!

    i see you've got a Packard Bell. could you check something for me? go into your Device Manager (right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", select "Device Manager"), and check to see if you've got a warning/alert message showing up next to your optical drives referencing "code 41".
    if you do see a code 41 in there, this post has information on some other techniques that have been getting people past the Packard Bell code 41 optical drive disappearances:

  • What is time machine backing up?

    I noticed today thought that Time Machine had run out of space and needed to clear some up. It was the first time I'd seem this message, so I figure after having backups since November, I was due for the delete message, but I got a couple of them throughout the day today which concerned me.
    I installed Aperture 2 yesterday and have been doing some website changes in iWeb. From what I understand, Aperture 2 works with Time Machine and shouldn't need to copy the entire library over if there is just a small change within it. My iWeb domain file is only 40'ish megs.
    It seems like Time Machine is doing some weird stuff. I just checked the time machine logs and it's suddenly trying to backup 46GB of stuff when there certainly haven't been 40GB of changes.
    I'd like to try to figure out what Time Machine is actually doing.
    I followed this hint: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071201084525895
    But I was unable to get Instruments to show anything. All I get is a "Could not load DTrace server" - whatever that means.
    Anyone have any magic bullets?

  • G5 ALS weirdest screen problem yet (i think)

    Ok, so it's 4 years old and five weeks ago it began to have these weird HORIZONTAL lines. Take a look here:
    http://s731.photobucket.com/albums/ww316/kimadog/?albumview=slideshow
    So the deal is that it's supposed to be either the graphics card or maybe the display itself, and in either case it's not worth getting it repaired. Doesn't matter to me these days whether it's worth it or not as I have no $.
    But here's the odd thing that no one seems to understand: when the machine is COLD, that's when the lines appear. But if I turn it on and blindly get iTunes going and a youtube video playing via Safari, and then wait for the fan to go on, then restart it a couple of times, the screen comes up perfectly clearly. If I'm actively using the machine for email or writing text or making a CD, the screen will stay just fine all the while. If I'm just listening to something on iTunes and doing nothing else, the lines will return, as they will if I put the machine to sleep.
    Been doing this for weeks now and this method enables me to continue using my machine, tho' obviously it's a pain. Anyone KNOW if this still means it's either the graphics card or the display and the machine is definitely terminal? If so, WHY does the heat make it better?
    Thanx for any informed opinions.

    I've got the same problem. It used to be sporadical before and for instance the machine had worked from November 2008 till May 2009 with no case of this symptom. But then it's got too bad. Now I cannot work on this machine at all so I'm having hard times using my MacBook for Photoshop and InDesign works and the notebook is definitely not fully capable for this. The toughest thing is that no-one knows what the problem is and no-one seems to be interested (I mean Apple specialists). First they put you through all possible resets and launch from the external CD before they believe you the problem is computer, not user. Then they just disappear from discussions. The most relevant information that I heard is that the Video card needs to be replaced. It goes together with the motherboard and costs in total up to $1K. Even if I was sure (and the Apple specialists too) that this will help, I wouldn't pay that much money. At our local dealer they offer iMac 20" 2GHz Intel in Aluminum body for $1.25K which is far more reasonable investment.
    I am disappointed with this iMac because I have 2 older ones in the office that are still working fine. I also have 2 newer ones so I just hope they will work. My iMac G5 is so fully functional and up-to-date that I just hate to change it in the recession times. Apple should be more loyal to us, at least 10% of the loyalty that the customers express to this company and it's products.

  • Camera Connection Kit Weirdness

    When I plug my Camera Connection Kit into my iPad 1, with nothing in it or connected to it, I get the error message "Cannot Use Device. The connected USB device requires too much power."
    Again, this is with no SD Card inserted, or USB connection used. Just the white Kit dongle, plugged into the device, leads to that error message.
    It USED to work.
    This error message does not occur when the switch on the back is on the USB side, only when it's on the "SD" side. But then again, I want to use it with SD cards, so that's the only side that matters.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    same issue myself. Had a cheap usb and sd card connector kit off eBay and it worked fine. Since updating to iOS 7.1.2, it didn't work. Took a trip to the apple store today and bought a genuine lightning  apple sd card reader. Tried it in the apple store on one of their iPads, with my sd card and had the same issue.
    upon connecting and inserting sd card (sandisk 32gb extreme) brings up the import screen, you see some blank tiles, then after about 40 seconds, the import screen disappears. Discussed it with apple store rep and he offered to replace the cable, I did, same issue. It HAS to be a firmware issue, as it was working fine prior to the update On the cheaper, non genuine attachment.
    ive rebooted, refreshed, even started iPhoto first, still have same issue. Why oh why do Apple mess with stuff when it works fine in the first place?
    any advice or tips, please drop me a line

  • Cursive font substitution on numerous pages - Safari version 2 and 3

    Following a 10.4.x update to 10.4.10, safari 2 began to display a hard-to-read cursive font on the NYTimes, Time Magazine, and several other sites. The pages are similar in that the headlines are proper font, but sub heads and body text are in this strange cursive. So far i have trashed the .plist file mentioned by others, updated safari to the beta 3 (no joy) applied the 10.4.11 update ( safari 3 is included in the .11 update)AFTER trashing everything I could find regarding Safari, then updated java, and searched font book to disable all cursive-appearing fonts.
    In fontbook, expanding the list for several fonts (times, times new roman) showed multiple BOLD and regular listings, with some in each set having a small bullet following the style (BOLD •) and when I disabled one of the pair - 3 in some cases - the bullet disappeared. I've now gone through all of the 90 some fonts and removed all duplicates and anything looking faintly like cursive.
    Then, rebooted, tried Safari 3 and the SAME PROBLEM - been working on this on and off for a month. The genius bars in Durham and Cincinnati were very nice, but unable to fix; the last recommendation was to uninstall Safari 3 and reinstall. I believe I did this by trashing all of the safari folders and the app before installing the 10.4.11 update. Any suggestions for a fix greatly appreciated.

    I FOUND IT !!! Opened fontbook, expanded ALL of the font listings, and in a font called Georgia, there were three of each style - BOLD, regular, italic, etc. - but ONE of the 3 regular styles. when highlighted, was different than all the others - it displayed in the familiar cursive error - and when Georgia type was disabled, the NYT page used as a test displayed absolutely normally.
    So, solution found by user with assistance from Tom Gewecke's post from 11/13 - MANY THANKS TOM for the hint regarding a fontbook fix for font display issues in multiple versions of Safari.

  • Does anyone from Apple ever visit here?

    I'll be honest - I really like Keynote but I've been having some issues with making a slideshow (with music) into a DVD (the music disappears).
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7235122#7235122
    After 3 days I was hoping that somebody might have at least made a suggestion.
    So back to my question - if Apple sell and promote this product then it would really help us users solve problems if one of their 'experts' spent a bit of time helping out here. Now I'm not stupid around Mac's, I've been using them for over 15 years, and I've been using Powerpoint for a similar length of time. If Keynote was a Microsoft product then I would expect to have loads for problems, but this is Mac software - it should be easy!
    Does anyone else have an opinion?

    No, no nerves touched. I was simply trying to provide you with some interim sources of information until someone was able to answer your question. Since you did not state what steps you'd already taken to find an answer I tried to give you some alternative sources. When you post a question it makes sense to let us know what you've already done to find an answer otherwise we will tell you stuff you may already know because we don't know what you've done.
    As I stated if someone has an answer for you (and reads your post) then they will surely post a reply. But the Discussions are not a direct link to any Apple provided product support. These are strictly user-to-user discussions. If nobody has given you a definitive answer perhaps it's because nobody knows the answer or hasn't ready your post or you've posted in the wrong forum or as is likely the case for your topic the subject is unrelated to the problem for which you are seeking help - consider a more relevant topic subject.
    Frankly, from your topic subject I had no idea what you were looking for because it conveyed only that you had something to complain about regarding why no Apple specialists were around. Until I read the post I didn't know you wanted help with Keynote. If I had I probably wouldn't have read your post because I have no expertise with Keynote.
    If you understand the purpose of the Discussions and post a clear and well stated problem with an appropriate subject in the appropriate forum then you have a much greater likelihood of getting a relevant reply.
