  1. It has nothing to do with the Thai Banks or with Scams etc etc

    this is an excerpt from a Dutch Bank a friend send me (Translated from Dutch to English)

    ATMs abroad:

    At ATMs abroad you can withdraw up to € 500, standard. But beware, this amount may differ by country or by bank. ABN AMRO has no effect on these differences. Do you withdraw money in countries outside Europe? Then you can withdraw up - to € 300, This limited limit applies only to ATMs that are not suitable for the new way of pins. This unfortunately you can not see from the outside of the ATM. With the reduced limit, we can better protect against fraud abroad.

    But up to 300 Euros is almost 13K baht, not the 10K baht limit some folks are seeing. I expect the local Thai bank is behind the 10K baht limit.

    Pib, to withdraw this amount my friend has go through the following sequence (SCB ATM used as an example)

    - Change Language to English

    - Select withdraw

    - Select Savings account

    - Type in the amount 12.000 THB

    - Accept the prompts about the 180 THB fee and the currency conversion

    He has been successfully withdrawing the 12k THB the last couple of days

  3. Just click the report button (under your OP) and type your request and a Mod will be notified. Just asking it here can take a long time.

    It does say not to use the report button for anything other than objectionable content. Thanks anyway, MJCM.

    I have used that on my own post many times and I have never gotten a message from a Mod or Admin that I am not allowed to use it for those kind of requests.

  4. Oke I did some tests

    Note: Standard Firefox (version 25.0.1) (en-US) with a Clean Profile with No Addons installed

    As you can see in this screenshot, only English US Dic, installed

    After that I installed English UK (English US still default after restart)

    Set English UK as default and restarted browser (En-UK set as default after restart)

  5. Hi PeterSmiles,

    the updates are very small (something like 10-15 MB each) even the full size installer for Firefox is only 25++ MB.

    The "Background Updater" patches the install of Firefox and removes the old version.

    I personally don't use this as I always like to Manual check for upgrades for my Computer.

    About the Bug you experiencing, I can understand why when you uninstall both (Dict) Languages you still have en-US as your language, this is because the Firefox you installed is en-US. If you would remove Firefox and would install your Native language it would default to that language.

    Maybe this page helps you in the search for a new browser:

    But that is just the issue. I have a en-US version firefox.I have in addition also installed the en-US dictionary and the en-British dictionary.

    But as soon as I install an alternative dictionary, the spell checker will default to that alternative language, and in the drop down menu that alternative language will be first in the list.

    Yes that is exactly the bug that people are describing and also that it maybe is site-specific.

    Let me do some tests and I will get back to you !

  7. Stumped again

    Could it be that it takes it from the Windows Language Settings under Control Panel ?

    Try to reinstall the FF en-Us language pack : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/united-states-english-spellche/

    I have found some links describing this problem.

    https://support.mozilla.org/questions/960058

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975459

    In the last link someone mentions this:

    don't know how to influence the order of remaining entries though & would have recommended setting spellchecker.dictionary manually as well. if this didn't help yet you also might want to clear the "site preferences" part of your history, since the preferred spell checker-language might be stored on a per-site basis

    So it seems that the spell check preferences is on a per-site basis

    How to clear this is described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history

    and could you also check if it does that when in Safe Mode ?

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

  8. - spellchecker.dictionary en-US

    - services.sync.prefs.sync.spellchecker.dictionary True

    sad.png

    I am stumped.

    Could you check one more thing please (under about:config) what is this set to: general.useragent.locale

  9. Oke try this: (First we check)

    In the address bar (where you normally type a web-address, type about:config)

    (If it warns about warranty etc etc, click I promise or oke or something like that)

    You get a page with a lot of settings

    In the search, type: spellchecker.dictionary

    Check if you find it, there will be 2

    - spellchecker.dictionary

    - services.sync.prefs.sync.spellchecker.dictionary

    What is the value of spellchecker.dictionary ? And if you only see 1 report back,

    You can then close that Window

  10. What about

    Right Click on the web page where you are typing.

    • [x] Check Spelling

    And Click Language > Choose the language for Spell checking....

    And what is the order under

    Tools - Options - Content - (Languages) - Choose

  11. Guys,

    it clearly states in the OP and on the website that it's a Beta.

    To remind people what a Beta is:

    Beta, named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet, is the software development phase following alpha. It generally begins when the software is feature complete. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss.

    Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Beta

    And if you find bugs let them know here: [email protected]

    The ear cleaning I prefer to go to the proffesionals because I don't like having things probes into my ear in case it upsets the vertigo so I will go for the 700 baht option reccommended here.

    Just in Case if you go to this Doctor I would recommend that you tell him about the vertigo (but I think already you will)
