Hello again everyone!
A few months ago, I was admitted to University of Toronto but did not receive the scholarship. Since I was umable to finance such costly study, I looked for other alternatives.
Long story short, I end up here in Cheng Shiu University in Taiwan, studying Business Administration.
I've been here for a month, mostly busy buying groceries, foodstuffs, and managing my dorm-mates (got appointed as the leader of the 3rd floor of the dorm).
During my first month here I got 2 circulating commemorative coins, it's a new experience for me to actually get commemoratives from circulation  |

Hello.
I'm not an expert on ancient coins, but from what I learnt in this forum, yours seems to be fake.
It looks too round and "too new". When compared to your reference, the details are just wrong.
The horse and the rider lack details (just smooth), and the temple looks different. Take a closer look, it's not that hard to spot them.
Last but not least, the realized price on your reference shows 50000 CHF (swiss francs), which is roughly 50000 USD.
Usually, if something is worth a lot of money, many fakes will flood the market. |

So if it's 8MB, it's now only 2MB
Seems like some support issues. My old java-based phone can only open images up to 5MB max, so large images have to be manually converted/resized prior to transfer, or automatically by allowing Windows to do it while transferring (may not always work). If you didn't do it then the computer did it.
With the click of the correct buttons, the images should be able to get in to the phone intact. Opening them on the phone is another story though.
Android phones don't seem to have problems with bulky images at all. |

Perhaps a simple but effective workaround is to bold a page number that has unread posts.
I.e.
Always View Latest 15 posts...
1 2 3 4
After opening page 4:
Always View Latest 15 posts...
1 2 3 4
Shows a missed/unread post on page 3.
This should be an effective, non-distractive indicator of unread posts. However, implementing it may or may not be feasible, I dunno 
Possible problem is that the numbers seem to be bold already...  |

@TheBurnz according to the Univ. of T website, the tuition fee is around $6000 for domestic students and $46000 for international students. Not sure if they are total or annual fees though, still way too expensive  |

Thanks everyone!

I am curious, is there any way to increase your chances on the scholarship?
We wrote 4 essays as an application for the scholarship so they are the most determining factor. The selection staff may or may not look at the documents submitted for the university admission though, not sure as admission & scholarship are 2 different processes. |
