Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is what Opera says about V15:

Functionality decreased significantly with the engine switch, we know it, it's obvious.

Of course you know that. We didn't need to know, though, because your browser is not ready for prime time. Why the fuck should I care that I can use Chrome extensions with this version of Opera if it now has fewer features than either Opera 12 or Chrome?

Bookmarks, customisable toolbars, URL history--apparently the dropped feature list is two pages long.

I'm stunned at the attitude towards users. I can't work out what's in it for us.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Numbers/Excel issue: I created a file in Numbers and exported it as an Excel file. Everything worked great... except the column that had images in it was blank. Any suggestions? I could go find all 500 images again and plop them into Excel but I'd really rather not. (Plus, I didn't have to resize the images for Numbers.)

Finally. Apparently Google's DNS service is down, so if you're affected and are having slow browsing, here: [link] I changed mine to OpenDNS and getting to some sites is much faster now.

I was using the ctrl+ to zoom in on a jpeg in Chrome, and somehow my windows display settings were frelled to super-big. Not just chrome, but my entire display I went into display settings and manually adjusted my settings back to what I preferred, so technical support not needed, or at least not if it will take any effort on your part. But if you can guess offhand how the fuck I managed to do that, please let me know.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You're on a Mac? Ctrl-mousewheel will do that.

Aurelia, no clue. Can you try different export methods?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

aurelia, there's some explanation as to why that happens here [link] but I am not finding an easy way around it...

Tom I'm on windows. Still makes sense that there is either a windows shortcut, or possibly a shortcut built into my video driver.

Hey. New board.

Windows+ does a magnification thing over your current mouse position, but that doesn't sound like what you mean. Do You mean your resolution got changed? If so that sounds like a video card thing. Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by display size.

Actual video card settings. Went to a lower resolution which made everything bigger. In all programs. Which is a standard windows setting that interacts with video card. I just don't know what shortcut key i accidentally hit to change that with a single keystroke.
