    Good morning folks,

     

    Thank you for your patience while we continue to investigate. While we currently can resolve this issue as it pops up on a user by user basis, we're still working on pinpointing the root cause of this forum notification issue to apply a permanent and universal solution. I'll keep this thread updated on news as we get it.

     

    If you notice your e-mail notifications not arriving when you should be receiving them, please let me know ASAP; posting in here is fine. Include the approximate date and time of the notification received in the community that didn't arrive as an e-mail notification.

     

    Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Liz

Hey Gabe,

Why are most of your posts ending with  "๐Ÿ™‚" ?

Isn't that an ASCII hard carriage return?

Hope ya find this in MSN inbox:smileyhappy:

It's just something I learned how to do a few months back and have been using it, probably too often.  

 

If you press Win + .  you'll see a bunch of options.

OK, Ill bite.

I have to ask.

I have a Start menu key, and a "most used" key. But I have no special keyboard key "Win"

Where is it? 

I am also using Win7

    I don't think you have the key in Win 7. Here's what it looks like:

    I had totally forgotten what it was called in Win 7. :)

    If it breaks the Community Notification emails,          I will take the blame

    I did, as that's how "Win AND period" is written out when giving key instructions.  When the plus sign is one that needs to be pressed, it's normally in parentheses, like 'Win + (+)', meaning 'Win AND the plus sign', which brings up the magnifier.  

     

    I should have spelled it out in the first place.  My apologies.

    Thanks guys.

    In Win 7 when I do Win + it starts Magniifier

    Tried that before I asked.

    I do have a program called CharacterMap in system tools

    Edit:  It looks like what would be in place of a curse word.  :p 

     

    Actually, come to think of it, I don't think it works with Windows 7 anyway.  I didn't know this until just looking it up.  Sorry. 

     

    BTW, Win + . means pressing and holding the Windows key, then pressing the period key.  The + means and in this case.  (Win + .)

     

    This is what it brings up in Windows 10...

    BTW, Win + .pressing   (Win + .)

    (Win + .) Still launches Magnifier  with or without the period. 

    I usually avoid emojies pages  :catsurprised:     - Kitnbob

    It sounds like you're pressing the Win key and the Plus sign key (+).  Those two together are the shortcut for the magnifier.  

     

    Again though, I believe this emoji shortcut (Win key and period key) is a Windows 10 only feature.

    Well Yea!  thats what I have been doing all along. My mistake.

     

    But thats what you posted all along   Win + .

    Win and + and .    would tell me something different   just like Alt and 234 would produce  ฮฉ

    Alt and 43  would produce +

    Ive been using Alt+ characters for years even back in 98.

    I think that Win Key has been on every keyboard since 95.

    (thats Win98 and Win95 for all you youngsters.)

    We didnt have smileys and emojis back then and I still not interested in them. :catsad:

     

    I think we are on the same page now  โ™ชโ™ซ โ™ช arnt we? ยฟ ยฟ
