Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Thanks fren. What's a tildes?
It's the squiggly line over letters in some languages, example - ñ.
There should be a symbol for it on your keyboard. On a regular keyboard, you might have to use the shift button on a key to get it.
I'm on a touch screen keyboard and I have a key to bring up a couple pages of symbols. Also, if I longpress on a letter, it gives me choices for other ways to write the letter, plus a symbol or two. These are my choices on the 'n' button: n, ň, ņ, ñ, and lastly, the backquote `.
Another thing I learned is that a few underscores _ or hyphens - will get you a line across to separate parts of your comment.
Not sure what you're using, but if you have any problems, I'll do my best to assist. Like I was telling another user, I wish this supported more of markdown code.
Oh yeah I know it but didn't know the name. Kīlauea I'll start practicing😀 I didn't try on this comment.
I practice a lot myself, toggling between the Preview/Edit Modes. I just have to remember to cancel the comment if I'm just playing around and don't want to post it, otherwise I have to go delete it! 😄
