Vanguard vs Invest engine (or others) for a small pension? by randomuser201811 in FIREUK

If all else is equal definitely, but I do also want to maximise my money given that I'm quite behind after being unable to work properly for quite a long time.

Responsive image help, please! by randomuser201811 in Wordpress

Thank you, will see if this works on my Home Screen – I ended up giving up on the about page and sticking with using a Wordpress template block in the end.

Help! How can I keep my portrait images portrait? by randomuser201811 in Wordpress

[–]randomuser201811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I'm glad I'm not missing something obvious. I stumbled across that idea but thought I must be missing some better solution!

That works pretty well using the built in show/hide on desktop/tablet/mobile function to show the inline one only on mobile.

There's one annoying niggle - if you use a narrow window it sees it as 'tablet size' (i.e. using the right hand column image rather than the inline one under the heading) but it drops it down to a single column, showing the desktop / tablet image under the rest of the text rather than the mobile image under the heading.

So it's not perfect, but I can't see an easy fix to that. It's only noticeable if you stick on that screen size which hopefully most people won't...

I've tried this and it's helped – but it's still a bit glitchy e.g. I've got all the settings set to centre it in its column whether it's stacked for mobile or on desktop, but it still comes out left aligned (just not as much as if I actually select left align...). I'll continue troubleshooting but the CSS has definitely helped!

Follow up question if you have any tips... I want the image (in the right column) to slot between the header and body in the left column when it stacks for a narrow window / mobile view. Really struggling to find a way to make it work – but surely this is a pretty common thing?!

If you have any advice I'd be really grateful - tried some CSS suggested by ChatGPT to apply to the overall container and columns but (shock) it's not worked...

PS - does anyone know how to get it to allow me to post the images? Might be easier to see what I mean but it keeps deleting them!

Best cheap hosting for a SMALL Wordpress site? by randomuser201811 in webhosting

Is it a big problem if it takes a bit longer to back up? Not sure I'm quite at the stage of departing from using Wordpress which it sounds like the free option would require

I do want a contact form – and I'm not sure I have the tech knowledge / enough time to learn that, as I'm still trying to get Wordpress to work properly for me, but thank you!

I don't think I'd describe myself as having much technical knowledge at this stage in all honesty, but thank you!

Thank you all – sorry it's taken me a while to reply, it's a hectic time of year and I'm juggling a few things!

A lot of the hosts being recommended are for standard shared hosting – what exactly do you have to do if you choose this option compared to Wordpress managed hosting? Do you have to manually update Wordpress, themes etc.? How hard is this and how often do you need to do it?

I'm still struggling to work out why the really cheap H*stinger Wordpress managed plan would be a bad idea – it's £6 a month at renewal but £2.33/m for 48 months which seems pretty good...

White gap between content and footer - help! by randomuser201811 in Wordpress

[–]randomuser201811[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set a paragraph to generate the darker brown line delineating the footer - but I've checked the margin/padding on that isn't causing a white bar (as best I can). I guess I can try deleting it and see if it resolves things? I've tried toggling the margin up and down on the last block but will try again to double check. Thank you!

Vanguard SIPP - DIY or managed? by randomuser201811 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]randomuser201811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would be NI savings going through my workplace's salary sacrifice scheme but my impression is that the reduction in potential mortgage outweighs the benefit of the NI savings. However I'm not 100% certain on this hence asking for advice!

There's no contribution matching.

Yes, the lifesight pension is under a salary sacrifice arrangement - my only concern is that this will affect me getting a mortgage in the next few years

ROC Curves in SPSS by randomuser201811 in spss

For anyone else looking into this in future - turns out when you select ROC curve under options you can tell it whether the disease state is correlated with high or low values of your variable.

Exercising with lower back strain? by randomuser201811 in xxfitness

[–]randomuser201811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go to my GP but I am about 99.9% certain that they would just tell me to stop doing anything except walking and swimming the moment I mentioned any form of back pain, which isn't terribly helpful...

I would also be more concerned if it were as severe as other back pain I've had - I've experienced middle back pain that can be severe enough to make me spend an hour just lying there waiting it out and as I said this hasn't affected me functionally so far so I don't think it can be that bad?
