i am having an issue

a reply to: ApparentlyStupid

i think its backslash is forward slash the one with the ? /

a reply to: malevolent
Yeah I think so

a reply to: malevolent
Okay, I missed that other reply. I get you now. The slash thing isn't showing. Himher. Like that.
ETA: That's odd. It happened to me, too. Try using the slash on the same key as the question mark. / That one. Him/her

ETA again: Yep, that works. Try that.

no i am on a laptop

a reply to: Skid Mark

yes if you did what i was saying it turns out just like that himher him/her huh so it works but why doesn't the other button?

a reply to: malevolent
It might be a coding glitch or maybe something that's blocked out for some reason. Some people have trouble typing the word "windows". I'd use that other slash. Problem solved?

a reply to: Skid Mark

fixed at least but nvm i will just use that button instead, thank you and those that did try to help me. soulpowertothendegree thanks for giving me the definition of my name don't forget it either havev a nice day

I wish I could give you cookies for being patient enough to help in this thread! Awesome job.

By the way, it is only if you put a . After the word window that it acts crazy. Happens to everyone. Put a space between window and . And everything is fine.

TEST:
window.

Damn. You're right. I wrote window . with out the space between window and the period...and it registered as a 'dash'.
Learned something new.

a reply to: Doodle19815
I was new here once, too. I like to help out when I can because others were patient with me.

You didn't bother anyone.
It's good to ask for help.

Thanks. I help when I can.

a reply to: malevolent
It's cool. I could tell that your were frustrated. Helpful hint: cussing here will get you a warning or maybe banned, even if you just leave on letter out.

a reply to: IAMTAT

I started a thread about that a while back and someone was nice enough to explain it to me.

If you write certain types of code such as javascript - which this site uses - some words have very specific meanings. The word "window" followed by a period is used to send commands to the browser window.

To limit the risk of people trying to do any fancy hacking on the site, the system automatically replaces some combinations to prevent them being seen as commands. Thus, you cannot type a sentence ending in the word window.

ill remember that and try to do less of it here
