Title: Re: Successful CCIF bids in Cornwall 19-20 Post by: grahame on June 05, 2019, 14:26:38 Well....it was all straight/level when I posted it! sorry.... The Coffee Shop is straight ... all the others are crooked ;D ;D. The text edit window is a fixed width font but then it renders variable width. I could offer suggestions on fixing it, but as posted it is admiraby fit for purpose. The Coffee Shop award is of massive significance far and above the amount of money involved - as Chris says, it is such a confirmation / vindication of the forum, what it does, and how we are now going forward.
