BgInfo on Windows 10

After the recent Windows 10 update to version 1511, the bgInfo wallpaper wasn’t refreshing, which meant that fields such as the snapshot date rapidly became illegible:

The solution is to open BgInfo, and load your .bgi file.

Click on the Background button.

Mine was set to Copy user’s wallpaper settings, which I assume is the default. 

Change that to ‘Use these settings’ and set your preferred background up.

Click OK on this dialogue, then Apply on the main BgInfo screen; all will be well again.

Automatically hyperlinked numbers on iPads

The Safari browser on the iPad has added a ‘feature’ where numbers are automatically hyperlinked, so that the number can be phoned just by clicking on the link.

All well and good, until you display a number that isn't a telephone number, such as a serial number or a customer identifier.

To stop this irritating behaviour put the following tag in your master page or page header:

    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
