Prize-a-day-May! Win merch, tablets and a PC with VeryPC

AltGr+E = é

Wow - never knew that - great shortcut!

 

I immediately searched for a reference hoping for dozens of Alt Gr shortcuts, but the UK keyboard only affords a handful:

 

AltGr key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Still, very useful for ¦€éÉúÚíÍóÓáÁ if you ever need them.

 

Cheers @CAM

I call @gazlee to be the winner, but no bonus, as it was clearly obvious!

I saw the email. I raced here. I skipped through. I saw that it was an obvious one, scrolled down and you've still managed to post something about the winning avatar.

 

Argh! You're really sucking all the fun out of this, you know. Even if you are handing out your bonus entries, you could let the rest of us enjoy the challenge at least, ya spoilsport

[hallb15]

Great video - nice trumpet skills and a bonus appearance at the end! Winner...

I love the positioning of my picture, it looks like Al is peeking right above the VeryPC sign with a cheesy grin

Ouch...that hurts! However at the time, I clicked on to the thread and the vid was just that second posted, gave me the advantage. How about this, I will leave it 5 mins before posting on tomorrows one?

10 minutes id say, gives a chance for some others too!

Hows about this: we crown you Nephilim, King of Knowledge, Watcher of Videos, Keeper of the Book of Avatars, and acknowledge that for any guess you'd have gotten there first, and you leave us miserable mortals to play our game whilst you chuckle at us in our pitiful scrapings and attempts at avatar naming. You would be Zeus sat on high, watching from your throne on Mount Olympusdigitalcameras, smiting incorrect guesses with a knowing smirk and an admonishment to do better next time.

 

I know the internet is Serious Business and all, but c'mon, have a heart

 

/would write more witticisms and overblown analogies but has another exam to set up now, argh how I hate this time of year

Not had chance a chance to look at this thread today. Been too busy editing a video of our Year 4 Brass and Woodwind ensemble and fixing one of their trumpets. (Is there no end to my talent?)

I even gone done you a portrait:

 

 

(chosen avatars based solely on who'd posted the last couple of pages for a quick 'n' lazy grab and in no way representative of whose name is ticked off in the "bribed Al" column of the Padmé Spreadsheet)

[featured_spectre]

I dont see that picture @sonofsanta

[mac_shinobi]

I can't see any pic / photo either ?

[sonofsanta]

I dont see that picture @sonofsanta

 

It was being silly wotsits cos I was trying to use the fancy upload to resize it, but every now and then when I double click the image to resize it just greys the whole page out and I cannae do nothing and it all goes horribly wrong afterwards. @X-13, you know these things better, what'm I doing wrong?

 

In the meantime, let's do it the old fashioned cludgey way:

I've had that a few times.

 

You've got a few options when that happens.

 

Lame it out: wait for "saved post content" then refresh the page [via the button. F5 won't work] and restore it completely.

 

Advanced restore: refresh by button, restore what you can. Go advanced and then "manage attachments" it should be there. Reattch it and add any missing text.

 

Start again: ...start again from scratch.
