Q&A: How can I see only questions that haven’t been answered yet on Quora?

Posted on August 18, 2018

Question from Michael E.: I recently started answering questions on Quora to drive traffic to my blog, and I’m really happy with the amount of visitors it’s sending me so far.

I’ve noticed that when I’m the first person to answer a question my answer will often remain at the top after other people add their answers. That’s why I prefer answering questions that haven’t been answered yet.

Do you know of a way to get Quora to display just the questions that haven’t been answered yet?

Q&A: How can I stop my Windows tablet from automatically typing a period every time I double-tap the spacebar?

Posted on August 14, 2018

Question from Jason: I recently bought a tablet with Windows 10 and I think it has a buggy onscreen keyboard.

Every time I tap the space bar twice in a row it automatically types a period after the last word I typed.

I don’t like that because I use a lot of double spaces and I have to go back and delete the period every time.

I’m thinking this has to be a bug in the software (it’s an el-cheapo tablet). Do you know if there’s a fix for it?

Q&A: How can I tell if my phone’s wall charger is bad?

Posted on August 5, 2018

Question from Judy D:. Is there any way to tell if a phone charger is bad? The wall charger that came with my phone seems to work ok but it takes forever to charge my battery.

It usually takes a little over 2 hours to charge my phone completely up when the battery is really low, but the charger that came with my sister’s phone will do it in about an hour.

Do you think I need to buy a new charger?

Q&A: Why have my keyboard’s arrow keys stopped working in MS Excel?

Posted on August 4, 2018

Question from Dorean W.: Hi Rick! I’m teaching myself how to use Microsoft Excel and I’ve run into a problem.

I used to be able to use the arrow keys on my keyboard to move from cell to cell, but all of a sudden that has stopped working. Now the arrow keys cause the entire page to move either up and down or side to side.

Can you tell me how to fix this? My computer is running Windows 10.

Thanks in advance for your help!
