IT questions (usually from older relatives ok)

Post by Mirah »

Why do people on FB or Instagram say, "Oh! Can you send me that pic?

Like, right click and save or screen shot. Wtf

I get when my older relatives ask me that but today a younger person asked me to send a pic I had posted of the on my instagram.

Am I missing something?

You can right-click to save on FB but it's harder to save images from Instagram, they have some kind of shield up. There are browser extensions you can load to make it easier.

This will just turn in to a general ranting about IT issues I seem to be having lately.

Youtube Shorts (short videos for people like me who might mis-read that)
I click on the comments and when I click on a reply to a comment the side scroll bar disapears. WTF. (on my chromebook)

Today at work I re-discovered an issue with the shopping supply channel-I type in a field and continue filling everything out and then I get to this one entry point and everything I just typed in disappears.
I don't know how I got it to work finally except that I probably left one blank.
Fucking A, I am sure there is a video on how to fix this.

Excel spreadsheet
Apparently I turned my main hiker sheet into a table-so when I go to add #'s on the left instead of going 501, 502, 503 it just repeats itself instead of going to the next #.
I clicked on another tab and that feature works for sure-but it is different and doesn't give me that option on a table. So I did a copy paste thing. I never had that issue before tho.

So the email thing happened at work again today.

I say again because it happened when I worked for that no name bank I worked for, not the one with all the controversy. ( Just kidding it was)

Someone sent an email to EVERYONE.
And the reply all to tell people stop replying all were hilarious.
And then people just started saying "go sport team" or random breakfast items
Some had a sense of humor, some did not.

At first I was just deleting them all. But then I decided to put them in a folder to read later.

In the youtube reply thing, try pressing the tab key and see if that works. It worked to get the comment button back for me. IDK!
