Help geeks- IT question- dropbox
 
Hi,

I need some help from an IT geek please.

I regularly use Dropbox for image transfer and have recently been sent some imagery from a supplier in China. Somehow between logging on and opening the file they sent me, I have managed to change my dropbox homepage into Chinese and I can't read anything. no idea how I've done it and also no idea how to undo.:confused:

Anyone?

Help me please :(

I should add that I know the little icon at the bottom of the right hand corner lets you select the language however I only seem to be able to chaneg the homepage it them goes back to chinese..


Ta

If Patsy's link doesn't help, send me a screen shot of the screen in Dropbox where you think you changed things, and I'll see if I can help. :D

I finished studying Spanish nine years ago, but google translate unreliably informs me that you're referring to a man's camel and that they might be 'a man of the rainbow' ? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

ha! tiene que amar a domingos, los lunes de dubai

and I have learnt, the more flowery the language you put in google translate, the more fun it is!

and back on topic, did the dropbox change back to english or not then?

Thanks all, managed to get it sorted, ok I didn't, I gave up as was taking far too long, I had to call one of my IT geeks from work when they were back after the weekend. All back and working now :D

Millhouse, i made a regrettable post once upon a time which has been interpretted that one of the brands I work for sell sextoys. Obviously I do not as that is illegal here and whilst we sell sexy lingerie we are not the Ann Summers of the Middle East, we sell boudoir lingerie and some accessoires but absolutely no sex toys. So unless that is a standard email female posters get on here, I put it down to my unfortunate post, which if people read it properly clearly says we don't sell toys, but judging by the number of PMs I recieve asking where you can buy a dildo from clearly men cannot read properly and clearly if we did sell them we would be billionaires.

Just to make it clear I do not replly to these emails as the answer is on here in the open forum, you cannot buy them here and I will not reply to a PM entitled Dildo shop....

OIC. Isn't the obvious reply to tell them to go **** themselves?

and then tell them where to find that appendage? ;)

lol Millhouse, but how could they without a dildo?

Anyway I find it best to ignore these mails as otherwise you get replies to your reply which can end up as a somewhat dodgy conversation and whilst it is quite normal for me to be sat at work talking about gussets or lackof them and nipple tassles etc to discuss it with a strange man normally involves a few glasses of vino at least.

What an intriguing job! and I mean that in the nicest way possible :)

I'll pop round with a bottle of plonk, then. 8 o'clock good for you?
