mornin all, pine here! been member for a while now, having started threads and alot of interesting reading-some pretty bright people here. had a question about giving info on my threads, when i type in say electrical numbers -- i put 1]blablabla=4567 then i put 2]blablabla=789 cant get my info to go down the page, every thing goes kinda into a sentence when i hit submit. people say its confusing, 30yr. ford guy new to computer, thanx in advance

 

Got an example of something that's gone horribly wrong like you describe?

 

When typing your post, when you want to start a new sentence, are you hitting the "Enter" key on your keyboard?

To use your quote above, are you hitting "Enter" to start a new sentence before the next number, like this:

1) blablabla=4567

2) blablabla=789

3) blablabla=1234

4) blablabla=5678

I just checked a bunch of your previous posts and it looks like you just have to get used to your computer keyboard.

Whenever you want to start a new sentence, just hit the "Enter" key twice. That will put your cursor down two line and make things easier to read.

Also, instead of using the brackets like this [to put words or numbers inside], it's easier to read if you use parenthesis markers like this (because it's what people are used to seeing)

thanx for info to some







1) sorry, not computer savy as others


2)if my spelling isnt proper i appoligize



3)dont have any severe problems (that i no of) just wanted some advise.

4)everything looks good to me , find out in a sec. yo thanx






















1)maynot be computer savy as others but trying to learn

 

Don't put so much space between the sentences. It makes it difficult to read and follow anything you might be posting.

If you want to start a new sentence, just hit the enter key twice. Don't hold it down.

ALL OF THIS, is what we all go through. You'll develop savvy over time - if the sticking keys on your keyboard don't make you sledge hammer it first

I went OVER TEN YEARS at FTE last year - does it help?

NOPE.

Crap still happens, fingers get stuck between letters, the phone rings, or worst of all you forget you were online while answering the doorbell after writing a five page trouble analysis..

What is there to say? It just DUZZZ stuff like that......


I generally find that if I write exactly like I think in conversation - the message usually gets across

"Yo man - it's dat bee-otch right there, the one with the green wire..."

HOWEVER! The first and the best thing that attracted me to FTE is that we do not CURSE AND SWEAR LIKE IDIOT SCHOOLCHILDREN HERE. I think you can tell just EXACTLY how much that changes EVERYTHING as you look around in here.
It's far more serious, and to the point.
FOCUSED (No pun intended)

and all of that comes to be by rejecting what is in fact SPURIOUS LANGUAGE to begin with, and adopting a set of rules of mutual respect and order.

Sometimes YOU JUST CAN NOT AGREE...

You CAN'T!

For whatever reason, that option is just not there, so what do you do?

At FTE we simply take note of that, and AGREE TO NOT AGREE on whatever that was, then we can go on.
Sometimes you'd be amazed just how much you can do by having that one very simple point of view or skill...

*If you really think about it - if we HAD to all agree 100%, this whole place would have been nuclear glass decades ago

 

We all started out somewhere and probably made the same mistakes, especially when computer and the internet were still new. For some reason my 8th grade mandatory typing class in public school paid off. Even though I'd not used that training and experience in 25+ years it came instantly back and voila here I am!

Two things here useful for posting in a thread; the preview option as well as the forum intended to test posts before they're committed to a specific forum.

IF its a sticking keyboard they're plenty cheap these days, even the better brands such as Keytronic, my own personal fave as the Enter key is somewhat huge. Flying fingers don't get stuck on the wrong keys too often now!

 

Thanx fer the tip - now if only Keytronics and PETCO could build a custom one for me...

 

hey wolfie, git yourself one of them there EZ eyes keyboards.
they have big black letters on yellow keys so that even blind fools like me can seem semi intelligent while typing.

 

I like drag and drop-
Drag a chair over, and drop another stick on the fire
