The Stovebolt Site Forums The Back Office IT Short Bus Finding Grammarly??

I had it and now it is gone how can I get it back?

Ron,

Is this what you are looking for???

https://www.grammarly.com/

Says it's free to use, once you sign up.

Never used this before so no idea if that is a new requirement (signing up?) or if you maybe got logged out and just need to sign back in?

My computer eays I have it but I put sample phrases in with obvious mistake and it does not correct it. This the kind of thinks that find me to mess with my mind. I have hearing aids that connect wirelessly to my cell phone and are rechargeable. I spent most of the day trring to load a Motorcycle to FB market place but it would not let me finish. Then this morning I unplug the hearing aids from their charger and went to try and complete the FB down load, no go and then I tried look at some youtube no sound, So for a couple of hours I goggled and read how to fix it. I figure the hearing aid carger had done it duty charging my rechargerable camera stick. So took the cable off of it and put it back on the hearing aids then picked my phone and opened You tube, every thing was fine. The hearing aids are connected to my smart watch and also I can answe the phone with picking it up by tapping a button on the ear piece or cancelung the call. I had no idea they would effect the you tube on my phone.

Ron,

That's way more technology than I have going on. Today it seems like everything affecs everything else, but you don't know cause folks just are supposed to "know" all about it.

I wish you much luck on figuring it put.

It says it is still here and the logo is at the top of this page. BTW I tried to sign up again and it says I already have an account. I can delete but every thing would be lost. It was On FB but it no longer works. Thinking maybe I should delet and start over.

I am not very smart in these matters, persistent and it is back, In a little different format but working. I preferred the other.

The new one has wonky format. Before it woud highlight the mistake and the proper spelling with a dropdown but the new puts clip of a part of the sentance but does not suggest an alternative.

Ron, I’m curious, do you use “Grammarly” for everything you post? Here is why I’m asking, no disrespect intended, but, most of your posts are riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. If you are indeed using it all the time it is mostly useless. As I said, “just curious”.

Martin (Ron):

That explains a number of things. I've noticed some of Ron's posts have been a little *wonky* as Ron put it. I was wondering if he was in a funk. After all, it was a post *I* asked him to make in the Reunion story.

Yes, ever since it went away a few weeks ago it has slowed my writing down. The fault is the print on on here is very small so I miss my mistake. I reinstalled it a couple of days ago but it was almost impossible to use. I tried earlier to day to installed it but it still was not right. I got at 2:30 and took a friend to INDY and when we got back I couldn't keep my open to do some work on the computer. BTW we did not go that early I just woke up at the time. We drove 1 hour and 20 minutes eac way for a 10 minutes vet checkup for her dog.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Large Print Edition. That will help you see what's going on.

See the attached screenshot.

I am not being delibertly obtuse but I don't find that on my laptop Never mind I used control plus.

Ron, scroll down to the bottom of any page here on Stovebolt. It will likely say "ubbthreads stock". Click on the arrow pointing down and then scroll up to the top of that list. You'll find "large print edition" about 8 from the top of the list. Click that and it should stay on the larger type font.

Hmmm.. I did that for mine! It's darker, too.

I had been using control and scroll to make it bigger. (That works on other pages on my PC, too.)

It is not there. Maybe because my computer is a android. Or Chrome.

Ron,

Can you see this image on your device?

(I noticed last night that with the large print version, I had a large print and there was no scrolling on the screen. That was nice. But, I could not get the menu bar links, other than Active Threads, to work. (They work here on the PC in large screen mode.)

I did it I can almost read it from across the room. I really miss grammary but ther many many others having the same problems. I downloaded another and it does not work either.

Glad the large print works. It's actually a little too large for me. I need one notch less.

Maybe take your time when typing and then a little more time to proof read. Use the preview reply button. That might help. 🤓

Ron,

It is much better (still don't want it to appear bold). But new wahhhhh ... update in Windows has a bunch of tried and true (and comfortable with all this time) visuals have changed. I fixed a few that I could. A few I'm just cringing at. A few I had to look for to find the *view*. But ... the straw ... that sweet smilie face for email now looks more like the big grin.

Big difference ...

Peggy M. If it is to large I can do control minus on my laptop to softend the size of the print.

Ron,

I do the same (control) but use the mouse ... forward (up) bigger; backward (down) smaller. It's interesting how the print changes as you scroll.

I prefer the + and - (with control) in Excel. So so so much easier / faster than "delete" or "insert."

Happy days. Never too old to learn. Maybe ... 😟

Tried to download Grammarly for who knows how many times on FB. Nope again.

It seems that every site I log on wants me to down load Grammaryl but none work.
