AI Thread Summary
Recent changes in Adobe Reader configurations have led to issues with missing toolbar functions. Users experiencing this problem should first determine if it affects all files or just specific ones, and check the document's security settings for disabled commenting features. The latest versions of Adobe Reader have a user interface that may remove toolbar buttons if there is insufficient space, which can lead to confusion. To restore missing functions, right-click on the toolbar to access a menu of available features, allowing users to add icons back to the toolbar. Some users have opted for alternatives like Sumatra PDF, which offers more functionality despite a less appealing interface, although it has its own drawbacks, such as an undesirable default background color.

Does your problem affect all files or just one? If the latter, have you checked the document's security settings to see whether commenting is disabled?
 
The latest versions of Adobe Reader have a stupid GUI (IMO) where buttons on the toolbar just get deleted if Adobe thinks there is no room to display them.

Right-click anywhere on the toolbar, and you get a set of menus with all the available functions. If you select something, the corresponding icon will probably appear on the toolbar but something else will disappear to make room for it.

Personally I've give up on Adobe Reader and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra_PDF on Windows.
It dones't look so pretty, but it has more functionality for what I want. The worst feature is the horrible yellow background on the first display (but you want get rid of that in the "advanced options" settings).

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...
