A dictionary will give you the meanings of all four words. 'On the fritz' is an idiom meaning 'out of order'.

I don't know why I think that you don't delete my photo from the score-board? This isn't fair that I have to fill in the same test for the third time if I want to remain on the score-board.

No need to mention this with every post, Kati. Once is enough. Or why don't you just PM Torsten to find out why this happened?

Dear Micawber,

Thank you for your answer.

Yesterday evening I got several letters from Torsten, but he couldn't reply for my question:where did my photos from the score-board and the dates of my work on 24th November from the progress report disappear. On 24th November evening and night I did all the tests what I did few months ago but they disappeared whereas the other pictures - with who I was together - remained. There is no answer. Torsten wrote me there are your photos. Yes, they were there those photos what I put on 25th November because the previous day's photos and their dates disappeared.

Incredible story.
Best regards:
