There's BBCODE (which is standard) and there's the TinyMCE rich-text boxes. One or another. Both are pretty easy to use. Complaining won't change this.

As I commented earlier in this thread about "borders"and "boarders" that doesn't stop it being insanely annoying to me.

And you are using the topic correctly. Complain away. I am just letting you know the expected outcome.

This, from today's Times

 

 

 

"A private doctor has raked in £2.5m in one week by profiteering from thousands of people across Britain who are desperate to find out whether they have contracted the coronavirus.

 

Dr Mark Ali, a 56-year-old cardiologist, has sold more than 6,600 coronavirus test kits for £375 each to people who fear they have the illness. The price is more than three times what his supplier charges the public for the same tests."

 

 

 

(For ease of calculation, double the numbers to get the NZ$ equivalent)

The overuse of the term “unprecedented”.

 

We are aware this hasn’t happened before.

The overuse of the term “unprecedented” is... “unprecedented”.

I'm heartily sick of all the "What you need to know" articles which are in all probability are opinion pieces.  I suspect they are one persons (who has no real expertise) thoughts on what they think is important. I don't bother reading them so I cannot say for sure.

Having my first introduction to Microsoft Teams from home and finding its "we can do all of these things, but only one screen can be available at a time" approach a little trying to be honest...

If it wasn’t for OAF (opinion as fact) then there would be much less content available (an improvement).

It would indeed be a vast improvement. 

 

Having been to a couple of places recently where the "Herald" is provided as a item for reading in the waiting room it has been quite refreshing to read the far wider ranging topics of the articles contained in the hard copy version, and that doesn't necessarily take into account the premium articles that are included as a matter of course. 

 

The online versions are a shadow of what they could/should be.

People who park at the parents' car park in the supermarket... The woman jumps out of the car. Husband playing game on smartphone stays behind on passenger's seat.

 

No kid on sight.
