Picture says it all.
Anyone would think we lived up a mountain instead a town of about 10,000 people. And this is without the short duration issues.

Just had my password manager and spell checker add-ons disabled by Firefox because they changed their add-on standards, bastards. :evil:

I've just switched to Google Chrome - Firefox is completely useless with add-ons disabled. For the first time ever I've installed a browser that didn't come with a heap of useless bookmarks!

I only use Firefox. If you type about:config into the location bar you can get to all the interesting settings. The only addon I use is adblocker and apart from the popup warning today about addons its just worked normally.

My understanding is that you can only disable what they've done if you roll back several versions!!

They're doing it in the name of "user security". The problem is that add-ons are part of a user's security and are no less secure than the day before they blocked them!

flipping Excel 'fill' command's been changed from text to a down-arrow icon. Took me 2 minutes to find it!

I always use keystrokes for things I do a lot. I find using a mouse generally slows me down, and touch wood, keystrokes usually stay the same from version to version. Even if they're not advertised as such they often still work.

I find there are too many commands I use frequently to use keyboard macros but I'd find them quickly with a mouse if they didn't change!

Perhaps I should create my own custom ribbon (changed from toolbar) with frequent commands.

I wasn't meaning macros as such, just the key bindings like Alt-EID for fill down, Alt-EIR for fill right etc.
I know what you mean about the ribbon....how many thousand times do I have to type something before I make a button for it, and then when you do, you never use the damn thing ever again.

flipping dickhead!!

24 x £0.01 bets at 7.6, just to gain an extra 0.4 pence per bet. I thought something was wrong with my sound card as it queued up the bet fired sounds!

Can you quote where I said that? You've got a habit of claiming I said things or implied things I don't remember. In any case, the issue is not a sub £2 bet but 24 one penny bets.

Here you go Derek, maybe you're just selective about what you remember.

I think you're having difficulty reading SB. I said people like us who trade the low liquidity markets are lepers.

No mention of sub £2 bets, just the markets we trade. If you've interpreted it any differently that's you being negative.

Or if you're looking at the "<=£2 stakes", that's part of eightbo's post.
