What does a little hand pointing in front of a post mean?  I am searching for a post of mine that looks as if it has been deleted.  While searching I came across a reply of mine to a post, and there is this hand in front of it, and you cannot open my reply.  I feel as if I am being boycotted or something - - LOL!  Seriously, what is going on?

I just thought I would let you and others know about a job that is posted on the job board.  It was a ACUTE CARE MTS/EDITOR position that offer hourly wages.  To me this sounds like a BIG SCAM.  They send you an email stating that they are delighted to offer you a transcription position within a certain hourly range but then as you read further it states Please remit $25.00 for your independent contractor background check. We
accept credit cards, debit cards, money orders, money grams and cashier
checks as a form of payment.

Please note: We do not accept personal check.  They go by the company name of Telecommuting Personnel Job Services or TPJS, Inc.

The ad never had the companies name in it as well.

I would think that if a company wants to hire you and do a background check that they would pay for it!

Do you think this sounds like a SCAM??

...have to keep the settings in control panel as is for my job.  The text is awfully small.  Would there be any other way to enlarge it, or do I have to make-do?  

I love the site and the changes, too, just find it rather small.  Unfortunately, on my end, I can not change any other settings, and the +/- does not work for me, either. 

This has got to be the most unprofessional situation I have ever witnessed.  I cannot believe it.

So many trashing MQ before they've read the new information.  If you're that unhappy why do you stay?  Why not leave before the packet arrives?  Why not quit kvetching and moaning and go find someone whose practices and pay rates you find satisfactory. 

How many of you are MTs with less than "perfect" skills and yet MQ keeps you on?  How many of you work the required hours?  How many of you do what is expected of YOU as an MT?  My guess, having spent many years as an MTSO, is that many of those complaining are the ones not meeting the requirements of being a PROFESSIONAL MT.

Give MQ the benefit of the doubt.  I've known this company since its inception in the 1970s and believe me, the packet is a good thing for MTs, for the MT industry, and for PROFESSIONAL transcriptionists who want to continue doing professional work.

another expander?  And if you use Bayscribe, do you use the Quick Bar?   I keep going back and forth.  I have ShortHand and Smartype of my own.  I've tried all different combinations of using them and can't seem to find the right combination.  What I like about Shorthand is that a box pops up to tell me/remind me what is going to play out when I put in a certain shortcut.  The Bayscribe Expander doesn't, unless you are using the Quickbar.  But then when I use the Quickbar I have trouble with it expanding stuff I don't intend to expand, especially when I putting in the header stuff.  But a plus for Quickbar is that is expands instantaneously and I have found Shorthand to hesitate slightly and sometimes by that time I have gone on typing and it will do weird things like capiltalize a letter in the middle if I have pushed the caps key or whatever as I continue typing.

What works for the rest of you?

Does anyone know anything about a company called ATSI (american transcription solutions, inc.) also known as MT World? Just wanted some info on this company (the good, bad, and the ugly).   Thanks
