when switching to a new device..

I had to try logging in again as someone new AGAIN because that was the only option AGAIN as old laptop has died. Unless DH can save it that is it. MN accepted the same password on the new account. . When i did try to post under new name i just kept gettin g the OOPS message. This has gone way past being funny. Ive had no problem with facebook or twitter in switching to the new device.

When i went up to Register or Sign In the only option was to Register There were no other screen options

Looks like unless DH can fix my own laptop and it possibly stays logged in i will not be able to access my EIGHT year old account and watchlist.

Ive also had to hop back to an old e mail account which Talk Talk have now put a limited time on to even get back here Quite frankly i dont know why i bother. I am NOT willing to micro manage this. I get quite enough of that in RL This site seems to have problem after problem after problem IT wise and i am utterly utterly sick of it.

If this is a sign that my time here is over then so be it. Im willing to accept that rather than pissarse about like this.

Ive had some good times on here though. But maybe this is a sign that its time for me to find somewhere else.

I had same problem a few weeks ago.

Wotcha not so much fawning as pointing out the twats who have just piled on to post that HD shouldn't have posted.

There are dozens of threads more worthy of being ridiculed than this one.

can anyone shed some light on the double spacing thing?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 21/11/2019 16:26

The OP has already explained the double spacing.

The double spacing looks like?

Is it as annoying as this?

Aridane · 21/11/2019 17:17

@LaurenDemeter
@HelenaDove

I remember you for Grenfell, housing and a 10 stone weight loss. And I don’t otherwise remember posters

bellabasset · 21/11/2019 17:22

Hi Helena

Why don't you set your account up as helenaDove and we'd all know it was you, or Helena.Dove if you're allowed full stops?

PortiaCastis · 21/11/2019 17:31

Hi Helena sorry to read you're having problems and hope you can recover your account very soon. Did I tell you my good news?

DangerClose · 21/11/2019 17:34

You could replace the lower case l in Helena with a capital I and it would look exactly the same.

HelenaDove
HeIenaDove

See?

gamerchick · 21/11/2019 17:40

Sorry - but I just don't see this double spacing thing people are referring to!

Me neither and I properly looked Grin

Hope you glove up comfy on your new username OP.

minniemoll · 21/11/2019 17:45

Most of her words have multiple spaces between them.

A bit like this if you see what I mean.

Personally I find it almost impossible to read, my brain puts pauses between the words and the sense is lost.

ArlenesWoodBurningStove · 21/11/2019 17:46

What is your area of expertise?

Why can't I see the weird spacing?

There is so much I don't know.

MrsMaiselsMuff · 21/11/2019 17:56

I can't see the odd spacing either. Intrigued!

Thank you for letting us know HD/LD, and love your two fingers up at the Reddit lot! Wink

Faffandahalf · 21/11/2019 18:03

minnie. I’m even more confused. All of your words look exactly the same. Did you double space the line ‘- bit like this if you see what I meant??
Because it doesn’t come out as double spaced!

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 21/11/2019 18:07

Was HelenaDove now Lauren
Got it .

I commented once or twice about your dedication to Grenfell and always think of you as Grenfell .

00100001 · 21/11/2019 18:45

I think the odd spacing must only show in the app?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 21/11/2019 19:41

I can't see double-spacing either. Is that really all that some posters can find to moan about? It's really petty.

gamerchick · 21/11/2019 19:48

To those who notice the double spacing. Can you read subtitles while watching a film? (Not being snarky, genuine question). My husband reads words seperately so can't watch films with subtitles and he would notice the spaces.

Mummyoflittledragon · 21/11/2019 19:49

Replacing Helena with HeIena (l = uppercase i) is genius.

SoupDragon · 21/11/2019 20:50

🙄

to  let  you know that im  HelenaDove  and  have had to start  again  under  anew name  cos MN page gives no other option...
LaurenDemeter · 21/11/2019 21:07

@DangerClose that is genius I never thought of that.

ThankYou @DangerClose Thanks Thanks

Alsohuman · 21/11/2019 22:29

The spacing is completely normal on my iPad.

Alsohuman · 21/11/2019 22:31

Oh welcome back, HeIena! 👏🏻

PerkingFaintly · 21/11/2019 23:32

Grin Welcome welcome!

This the moment you find out who uses the @ with a C&P, and who types out your (apparent) name each time!

Wishing you many missing messages and a bit of peace and quiet.Grin
