Should I tick or untick?

[goodstudent]

There is a form with a square check box and sentence that says:
[checkbox square] Hide auto shortlinks


The explanation beside the sentence says "And unless you use Windows, leave this unchecked."

What does it mean?

I am using Windows, should I tick or untick the box?

If I am not using Windows, should I tick or untick the box?

 

[bhaisahab]

Only tick the box if you are using Windows.

I am not a teacher.

They could have made it a bit clearer.

Why not, 'And unless you are not using Windows, don't uncheck this box' while they're at it?

Why not, 'And unless you are not using Windows, don't uncheck this box' while they're at it?

That would really leave the gates open to misunderstandings! ;-)

 

[Matthew Wai]

leave this unchecked

Does it mean that the box is unchecked by default?

don't uncheck this box

Does it mean that the box is checked by default?

 

[charliedeut]

Yes and yes.

Does it mean that the box is unchecked by default?

Box is unchecked by default.
