Why are format buttons on Guardian blog text box US?

On the 10 FEB, you installed Flash 10,2,152,26 and IE8 says Shockwave flash object is enabled, internet security is set to default and video plays OK. But the format buttons that add HTML code to text to post on Guardian threads no longer work. Their Help is not aware of a problem but has details. Uninstalling the latest IE8 update, KB2482017, did not help.
Norton Internet Security (2011?) is Version 18.5.0.125.
Windows (Vista HP) Update has installed several other updates, 10 FEB. Could it have set a kill bit? I am not keen to edit the Registry but a System Restore to a Windows Update Restore point is the next but one option.
Java(TM) 6 updated to 23 on 10 FEB. It set the most recent Restore point!

I took my advice and System Restored to the Windows Update Restore point but to no avail. When I had reinstalled the Windows updates and updated Flash, I noticed the Guardian pages were running in IE8's Compatibility mode. When I turned this off, their blog text formatted OK!
I can't get Guardian User Help to admit why this might have happened and it no longer does,
I regret raising this problem in this forum.

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

    Hi Denes,
    I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.

  • Blog text box shifts down

    My blog entry pages do not diaplay correctly.  The text box shifts down, leaving the browser background at top.  I'm using "white" iweb template.  Other pages display OK.

    It was not selected to begin with. I tried adjusting the file with and without that feature selected and the result was the same. They still shifted. Could it be something else?

    Can some one help me.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did u tried as Ravans suggested.
    Put the indicators outside of the case structures.  Wire across the borders of the case structure.  It creates "tunnels".
     I am not getting
    but it displays both result at a time. but i want
    to display the instruction first, to the user, so that they act
    according to the instruction and ,than i want to display the result.

    Good Afternoon
    I am having a little trouble figuring out why the buttons are faded (cant use them) on the: User Mailbox -> Mailbox features -> Mobile Device Details. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Andy
    This option is greyed out only for one user or its for all users ?
    Do you have any MDM in place for managing the active sync devices ?
    Have you tried disabling this feature through Powershell ?

    move
    SetWindowProperties();
    after
    SetButtonProperties();
    if i do that, i never can see the buttons, and this is obvoius.(your suggestion is not logical)
    I am a C++-Programmer and i simply dont like the Java coding convention.
    By the way, does anyone have still an idea, why the buttons are not visible at programstart?
    What about:
    button = new Button(String.valueOf(i));
    What do you think of that statement?What should i think of ? It creates buttons with captions 1,2,3 ...
    PS: At the end of line i forgot to copy the last end-block statement from the code during posting.
    So if anyone tries the code, please add a " } "

  • Why are FORMAT instructions not recognized?

    I entered the following statement in SQLPlus:
    COLUMN NAME FORMAT A10
    COLUMN VALUE FORMAT A100
    show parameter spfile
    but the column widths are still the same as without the FORMAT instructions.
    Why?
    Peter

    "show parameter" is an internal SQLPlus command. It's output is not bound to format settings you have set.
    If you want the information to abide to your format settings then manually perform the query that show parameter is doing for you under the hoods:
    select name,value
    from v$parameter
    where name='spfile';This should follow your format settings.

  • Why are flash buttons not a good idea?

    I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having with flash
    buttons (mainly that I don't want users to have to click twice to
    make them work), and I keep seeing posts (particularly by Murray)
    asking if the poster knows that flash buttons aren't a good idea.
    However, I was unable to find an explanation as to
    why they are a bad idea. Can anyone explain this to me in
    layman's terms? I'm very new to Dreamweaver and web development in
    general. I'm developing an intranet site for a specific group of
    users where accessibility is not a huge concern.
    Thanks!

    Consider these scenarios -
    1. I don't have Flash installed. I don't get the benefit of
    your Flash
    navigation element.
    2. I am a search engine spider. I don't get the benefit of

  • Why are there red lines under my text - Galaxy S5

    I use the stock keyboard on my Galaxy S5.  Out of the blue, red lines started appearing under almost every word when I text, although I did not change the settings.  I tried turning off predictive text and auto correct, but nothing has worked.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  This is just the latest in a long line of odd things that have occurred since lollipop!

    Thanks for reaching out to us on this matter mmd78! Let's investigate the red lines together. May I ask are the words spelled correctly? We want to make sure that it's not spell check. If it is then this can be changed in the settings. If the words are spelled right then please check the language that you have activated on the text app. This is also a common scenario that we see. Once you have done so, please keep us posted with your finding.  ArnettH_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • Why are random spaces being inserted in text on Acrobat Pro 9?

    My apologies if this has been asked & answered before. I did try and search and found some information but I still do not understand the complete picture.
    I am a relatively new user to Acrobat and used 7 prior to upgrading to Pro 9 recently.  I am using it for basic functions only at this point, combining multiple word (Microsoft Word 2003) documents from various authors.  Since upgrading to 9 I have come across a few instances where there were random spaces inserted in the PDF document. These spaces are usually between words or in the middle of words and can be just one or two spaces or 10+ spaces.  After doing some research I think I figured out that these spaces occurred after I had used the Touch Up Text tool to fix a small mistake (likely spelling).  After more research I went into the Change Conversion settings option in Word and removed all of the fonts listed in the 'Never Embed' section of the Fonts tab under advanced settings.  This seemed to solve the problem for a while but now it is occurring again.
    So, my questions are:
    1. Can someone explain to me if my research is correct and using the Touch Up Text tool is what caused the spaces in the first place?
    2. What can I do to ensure that this does not continue to happen while still being able to use the Touch Up Text tool occassionally?
    3. Is there something I am missing? (Highly likely given my lack of experience with Acrobat!)
    I truly appreciate any insight that can be offered. Unfortunately I cannot offer any examples to show you what is happening as I work in a legal environment and I have yet to be able to re-create the issue with something not sensitive.
    Kim

    There is really nothing like a space in an Acrobat pdf file. Each letter is positioned on the page according to the Acrobat language specification (similar to the postscript language). When you edit a pdf file anything can happen. I've seen changing one letter completely screw several lines of text (except for the fact that a line of text is not a pdf concept either). The best recommendation is to edit the original documents---not the pdf file. Sometimes it cannot be helped. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. There are no workarounds for changes that occur when you edit the text in a pdf file.

  • Why are pop-up windows too small, text is being cut off. Problem is occurring with webkinz

    When I go to webkinz, the pop-up windows are too small to display all the information in the box. Text is being cut off. It works fine with Explorer. This has not always been a problem-- but is giving problems in the lat month. It occurs when you sign in, not noticeable on opening home page.
