GB wrote:That's very scary. What happened to his nine companions, I wonder.
From his commentary alongside the video:
I knew the rest of the group was further away from the avalanche so should be okay. When I re-joined them I could see they were all safe, although one had cut her knee quite badly (she rode one of the horses to the nearest medical facility). Another had fallen off a horse and sustained some light bruising.
The whole group was laughing and crying, happy to be alive (including the girl who cut her knee). It was only later we realised just how lucky we’d been. If we had walked 5 minutes further on our trek, we would all be dead.

DPX8 addressed the ‘HiDPI’ problem, but DPX6 did not. I believe there’s a registry entry whose value can be changed to help with this, but I’m afraid I don’t know the details.
Too good not to share:

I have searched all ways to increase the sizes of them, but have failed. I have tried running the program in 'compatibility mode, but no luck. I wonder, have other people had the same problem and have they sorted it.
I suspect that this is something to do with your display settings, rather than a problem with Windows 11 per se. Your shiny new machine probably has a higher resolution screen, and DPX6 isn’t ‘High DPI Aware’.
Thanks, Geoff. One of the comments on that page includes a link to the original Animusic video, with better picture quality:

Thanks for asking, Eric! I didn’t know the second half of the proverb until your question prompted me to look it up: “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.”
Thanks for the clarification. Like the Serif Affinity Forums, Twitter offers a mechanism for ‘following’ other users or threads. And like CommunityPlus, there’s a notification bell. So when André Schappo (sorry, André 小山 Schappo) ‘tagged’ the DITE account and its followers by mentioning ‘.@dite_project’ in his tweet, followers of their Twitter account would be notified, subject to their notification settings allowing that.
William wrote:I have never used Twitter, I know of Twitter, but not the details of using it, so can anyone who knows about Twitter say whether the information in the second Twitter link has been cross-referenced to the first Twitter link please?
I’m afraid I don’t really understand your question, William. The first link takes you to the profile page for DITE’s Twitter account, and the second link takes you to André Schappo‘s thread discussing the need to get Unicode onto schools’ Computer Science and Information Technology curricula.
I found it quite impressive, too. Thanks to your OH for disturbing you, and thanks to you for the link!
I know you’re a big Freddie Mercury fan, Karen, but I don’t know whether that’s enough to put you off watching this:
Bohemian Rhapsody on Floppotron
Welcome, Alan! Good to see you here.
It does rather look as though you’ll need to reinstall the program, or at least repair the current installation. If you’re using a download instead of a physical disc, unpack it to a known location and then run the setup.exe file from there so that the components remain permanently available (instead of being written to a temporary folder which may subsequently be deleted).

I’ve been busy with other things today, Jack, but I see from your thread in the CommunityPlus Lounge that no one else was experiencing the same access problems. I hope it was just a temporary glitch.

Thanks, Karen. Those are great (as somebody famous once said).
Albert Ross wrote:Another video of gardens, this time we did not venture out of our own county of Essex. https://youtu.be/tvjPKNjPT-A
Mark Hall Estate was glorious, bathed in sunshine for the most part. There was the normal mixture of lakes and geese, a walled garden, which was quite impressive.
A lovely sunny day, but quite breezy, too! It looks well worth a visit for anyone who happens to be in the area with some time on their hands. (Side note: Your video description says “Mark Hall” but the title says “Marks Hall”; looking it up on the Interwebs suggests that it’s either the latter or the similar one-word name “Markshall”.)

Sorry about that. For those sufficiently interested, I'm sure you will be able to Google another, more informative page.
A brief definition is probably sufficient for most of us!
