Duplicate Calendar Holidays

 

I use the calendar which comes with the MacBook Air (10.14.5) but at some point in my updates I got 2 notices of each holiday in each box. Now I want to add an event/appointment for Thursday and there is too much info in the box already (two events say Halloween). I¡¯ve tried turning off all the holidays but no effect - they don¡¯t turn off. How do I do this?

In Apple Mail attachments are kept even when the message is deleted. Every time I see a message from him I have to go to the Message menu, scroll down and click remove attachments.?

We all are, and the way to stop it is for him to remove the picture.?

In my mind, it provides HUMAN contact in a HUMAN conversation.

An image indicating contact information for a member's Mac repair?business is very relevant.

What *I* am running is often not very relevant to the OP¡¯s complaint.?When it is, I include that info as part of the conversation.
I certainly don¡¯t think it needs to be on EVERY posting.

So I'll ask - Jim, what does the photo of you add to your post? If it's just?for the sake of it, I think you need to take to heart that there are actual?reasons NOT to do it.?

Let me answer that indirectly.
Having an image of YOU on a post to which I am replying gives ME a?much better feeling for the person with whom I am conversing. More like?a face-to-face conversation between real people.

The difference in message size between image the way I¡¯m now doing it and no image is about the same, or less, as the difference between sending in RTF versus sending in plain text.

I'm not opposed to it, personally. "Selfish" is choosing your own want?over someone else's need, but you do what you gotta do.

Oh, come on. I¡¯m sure you could phrase that with greater personal hostility if you just put your mind to it.

There was no obscenity in my post, even though I wanted to. I am sick of having to delete his picture every time I see a message from him. Maybe it bothers me more than it does others, but I notice that Tiffany Hahn also is annoyed.

Personal photos in signature lines are more relevant when people are
trying to prove they're not 13. If 13 year old member on the list
posted an articulate question or response, their age becomes
irrelevant. If the information is accurate and well-phrased, they
could be any age, any gender, from any location, etc.

I hadn't scrolled down far enough to notice Jim's signature photo at the bottom of his message till I looked for it during this discussion. And it's an embedded graphic that gets deleted when I delete the message in Eudora.

So not an issue for me.

Re: Signature images #MacSupportCentral

 

i agree, dave...replies ex context has been one of my pet peeves in groups since 1995... however, on the learning curve here with the new group...at bottom of message when i hit ?"reply to group" there is no option to quote relevant message (!) ...the option is available in the reply area located in the upper right hand corner...this oddity may be due to my old operating system, ?snow leopard, plus being on a 2010 imac.

That is what I would really prefer: an option to display my ?avatar on the emailed messages just as it is displayed on the website?presentation of those same images.

Obviously, there *are* size considerations associated with sending an?image with every mail someone posts, but I was able to get my mail?avatar down to only 2 kB, and that¡¯s a small fraction of the size of most?mailed messages.

And, at the risk of prolonging it, I¡¯d like to note that reading this group on iOS (at least as I have it configured in iOS mail on my iPhone 11 Pro) is really painful. Every single message in a conversation appears every time a new message is posted in the topic, along with all the html links that live inconspicuously at the bottom of the message panel on a Mac, but appear as equals with the message itself in iOS. I don¡¯t know if this is the only option.
