Wouldn’t normally do this but I’m on PH at the moment so...

6pm, times up girls.

Did we all make it ?

Dunno, not sure. I input forecasts made up until Thursday night on Friday morning and then sweep up Fridays forecasts on Monday/Tuesday morning before calculating the points and table.

Update: Everybody made it on time.

You get 4 points for predicting the correct score line so you are owed 3..however...

It is your fault this has happened fella as you've included a space after your Huddersfield vs Spurs forecast as you can see from the screen shot below.



Highlighting the forecasts immediately after you've posted them shows this clearly and it's the 2nd occasion this has happened in a couple of weeks.

I will add your missing 3 points onto either next weeks table or before if I get time.

Everybody, please listen

From this point on if your points are not calculated correctly due to you adding a space after your forecast I'm afraid you'll have to accept the consequences as reformulating the table is a serious ball-ache in time and effort as there are lots of cells that are dependant on other cells.

Check your forecast post the minute you've made it by highlighting the forecasts with your mouse - any with rogue spaces will be immediately apparent.

Delete your post immediately and start again as I can't accept posts that say they have been edited which PH software does after a couple of minutes.

Rule 11: Everyone must pull their weight as the administrator doesn't have the time or the inclination to pull both his weight and yours.

I don't know why this has become an issue this season and it is only 3 instances of it so far but I'm afraid I don't have any more time to address this issue.

Thanks in advance for your anticipated understanding and compliance going forward.

I know why mine happened.

I tend to work in another window - either an open email or a word doc and then copy and paste the numbers once i'm happy with them.

Doesn't happen if I type directly into the window.

Sorry and thank you,

Was not intentional..

Party time, I made it out of the relegation zone (until next weekend naturally )

I've double, triple checked for spaces this week.
Thanks for running the 'thon, Gadget. I'd imagine it takes a lot more effort than most of us realise.

Your forecasts also go right across my screen at home but I’m using an ipad there. On my PC at work using a mouse and windows operating system I get a truer highlighting and it shows your extra space.

Odd but we’ll have to live with it I suppose.

Just please try and be careful when typing your post - as I’m sure you will be.

Cheers.

No worries I’m on a Mac so it might be the issue...
