    I’m hoping it’s ok to ask this here. If not please let me know how to get help. I’m creating a new spreadsheet. I have all info entered but haven’t attached it to my signature yet. After the info is entered do I just close it out? I’m not sure how to save new info.

    @Chris & China (GA)

    are you in the Google Drive in the Google sheet? If so, you should be able to see at the very top on the bar where is says “draft saved” Google saves it automatically and if it says that, you’re good to close it

    I see where it says lass edit 3 minutes ago? I don't see where it says "draft saved" I got the instructions on here from the Tech Support that says FDMB SS Instructions

    I think I managed to delete all the info. Another problem I’m having is editing my signature. It will only let me save 2 lines. It looks like others have more than 2 lines? I deleted all of Thumpers info which I had really wanted to keep. :(

    I have not used a spreadsheet since Rover went to the bridge.
    I believe you have to go in through your Google Drive rather than just clicking on the link in your signature. Try that.

    Yes that’s it. It shouldn’t have deleted it all. Can you try to reopen it in the Google Drive? You need to insert the hyperlink into a word or 2, maybe his name. See how I have my link that says Minnie’s Spreadsheet? That way it’s not the long link you’re pasting into the signature because that takes up a lot of room

    For me when I click my spreadsheet link on PC, at the bottom there's a "Published by Google Sheets" button, click it and it should take you to your Google Sheets account and edit it there. The data is live as soon as you press enter. It will say "last edited few seconds ago" and that indicates it saved. So far I can see your 08/28/2020 data.
    Just a guess, maybe you didn't check the "Automatically republished when changes are made" button?

    Nope. "Denied access." You have to hit the "share" button.

    Sorry I could see it a moment ago, now you seem to have added a privacy setting on it and I can no longer open it.
    If it's not too much data can try remaking a new sheet again with close instructions. I had to do 2 sheets too before I figured out how to make everything update properly!

    How did you get all your info on your signature? It won't let me put any more than what I have. I didn't want to delete Thumper's info but it wouldn't let me keep it.

    They have shortened the number of characters we can have in our Signatures several times since you were last on the board with Thumper. You might want to put Thumper's information into your Profile instead of keeping it in your Signature.

    If we had a longer signature than "allowed" when the changes were made, we were allowed to keep it, but if we went in to make any change, we were then ruled by the new limits...so you may see some signatures with a lot more info but those are older signatures that haven't been modified since the changes were made.

    That's because yours is still under the character limit...it's only 2 lines (if you look at it under your comments). When you type it into the "signature" box, since the box is smaller it takes more lines.

    It’s 5 lines when I look at it under comments but I’m looking at my cell so maybe that’s why :rolleyes:
