Fix Greek Letters as Bullets on Webpages

AI Thread Summary
Greek letters, specifically lambdas and gammas, are being used as bullet points on webpages instead of traditional bullets. This issue may stem from software changes or custom stylesheets rather than malware. To resolve this in Mozilla Firefox, users should ensure they are using the default style sheet and check for a userContent.css file in the chrome directory. If absent, creating a new userContent.css file with the line "ul { list-style-type: disc; }" can restore standard bullet points. For Internet Explorer users seeking a similar fix, specific guidance for CSS adjustments in IE is needed, as the original discussion does not provide a solution for that browser.

For the longest time now I've been seeing Greek letters being substituted for bullets on webpages. The main set of bullets is replaced by lambdas and the secondary set (usually the open circle bullet) is replaced by gammas.

I know there are no malicious items on my PC so I am guessing that some software has caused this a while back. Does anyone have the slightest idea where I could start to fix this? (This is more of an annoyance than a real problem.)

If you're using Mozilla or Firefox, make sure you're using the default style sheet. If you are, check your chrome directory for userContent.css, open it in Notepad and check for an "li" selector. If there is none, or there is no userContent.css, create your own and just use the line "ul { list-style-type: disc; }".

I am using IE. Is there a way to do this for IE?
 
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
