When you do crossing outs, it doesn't work, just because you put a " straight after it! And this bolding probably won't work because I have put an exclamation mark right in front of the *!

Is this right?

Gonegirl Tue 21-May-19 22:44:17

The title of this thread is totally misleading. Sounds like HQ were reporting a design fault. No wonder Cari was on it so quick. shock

Gonegirl Tue 21-May-19 22:45:21

Yes. That's excellent Tangerine. You got the question mark in it too. Respect.

I’m disappointed now, I thought this was going to be about spies! I read GCHQ instead of GNHQ - silly me!

Gonegirl Tue 21-May-19 22:52:57

See, I said it was misleading. hmm

But the successful ones look as if there is a space between the two lines - - not — but neither work on this iPad
—help— or - -help- -

I’ve been practicing this all day....and it doesn’t plodding well work on an iPad! Lovely people keep explaining carefully, so carefully that I feel utterly thick and I’m having to eat chocolate.

BlueBelle Tue 21-May-19 23:17:36

No not working on my iPad either mamissimo very frustrating isn’t it ?

The strike through used to work on my iPad until a certain ‘upgrade’ so I know that we are trying it correctly.

BlueBelle Wed 22-May-19 07:53:06

Can HQ come back and tells us why it doesn’t work on iPads well iPads except for Gonegirl

Oh, wow !

Strike through does not work on my mobile phone or on my iPad .

The dashes just join up.

Auntieflo Wed 22-May-19 08:50:47

I have only just found this, and the dash dash thing used to work, and now, as you say they, the dashes just join up, and no strikethrough. What’s going on?

Auntieflo Wed 22-May-19 08:54:39

That was on my IPad.
Is it an Apple thing, or just a GN site problem?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Learned yesterday the Red Cross gives support for new mobility scooter users to gain confidence in using them, Fred can come out of early retirement

Hope everyone has a good day x

It looks like the iPad uses m-dashes rather than the usual n-dashes.

Is there another hyphen on the iPad keyboard somewhere? I've never used any Apple devices and I don't know anyone who does so I can't check.

Some programs convert two n-dashes into an m-dash.

- this is not an n-dash

I don't have an m-dash nor does my keyboard automatically convert. I think they are rather outdated and becoming obsolete. Victorian books are littered with them!

Mamissimo Wed 22-May-19 10:06:11

Cari - please can you tell us when the gnomes have fixed it? —thank you—!

Gonegirl Wed 22-May-19 11:05:09
