Here's another: -
'Canva has many outages and often runs slow'
and/or: -
'Difficult to login - or takes an age to login'
These cons only relate to using (or trying to use!) Canva. They have nothing to do with the buyout.
I wouldn’t want to use a platform such as Canva for DTP work, but in any case I now have PagePlus and Affinity Publisher to choose from. I also own an ancient copy of Microsoft Publisher which is not currently installed.

I suspect that you somehow managed to include ‘bold’ markup twice, with one pair of tags nested inside the other. When the forum software detected this, it should (according to a quick experiment here) have removed the extra tags, in which case pressing ‘Submit reply’ or ‘Preview reply’ a second time would have worked OK.
If you want to try again with an attachment, please use text instead of a screenshot (so that Joe or anyone else trying to help you can copy the text to work with it). Paste the code into a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++, save it and then attach the *.txt file here.
Gencraft version using the prompt “A drawing of an elephant, made with Venetian Red chalk”:
Prompt: “A drawing of an elephant, made with Venetian Red chalk.”
Prompt: “A chalk drawing of an elephant, using Venetian Red chalk.”
It looks as though the elephant may be using the chalk here!

If the mesh holes were that big, the nuts would fall out and/or the local squirrels would take them all.

I can’t think of a smaller minority than one person! 
Trump Has Few Ways to Overturn His Conviction as a New York Felon
New York appellate courts rarely overturn a jury decision without evidence of serious errors. The judge in Donald J. Trump’s case closed off many avenues.
New York Times live updates
The former president sat largely expressionless, a glum look on his face, after the jury issued its verdict.
I’m unsure how he could reasonably have been described as expressionless if he had a glum look on his face!

Welcome, Tom! Thanks for joining us here.
You can print the current page by adding a form button and setting its 'onclick' attribute to
javascript:window.print();
To configure the button so that it only appears on the screen, not on the printed page, add a '@media print' CSS rule that sets the 'display' property to 'none'.
Download the attached *.wpp file, open it in WPX8, right-click on the 'Print this page' button and choose 'HTML Source...' to view the code.

When does it change?
Does it lock in to a time once in a PDF document or what?
William
I don’t see how it could work dynamically other than on a web page.

Well, it’s a digital painting, so Affinity Photo seems the obvious choice. As for “which technique” to use, you would probably need several techniques depending on which part of the painting you’re working on.
I’m not an artist, but I would start with a rough sketch of the entire picture and then concentrate on a well-defined area. To draw a subject such as the elephant, trace around it with the Pencil Tool or the Pen Tool, fill the resultant shape with a suitable base colour, and then refine it from there.

That explains why I had problems with a DuckDuckGo search earlier today.

A classic case of “a solution in search of a problem”, perhaps?
