bitching anyone ?

[Todd The Kiwi]

perhaps we should "bitch" in this thread ?
colloquial,mineral or vegetable but NOT animal ;)

[chicubs]

bitch? I WANT ALPHA-BLENDING!!! You suck Paul (j/k)!!! :D :D

[acozz]

I wish I had more motivation to write QCD plugins. I have stuff I want to do to my existing plugins but I don't feel motivated.

Also I hate DirectMusic because I can't seem to find a way to get the data from the primary buffer. Grr. I think I am close then it doesn't work.

i wish it wasn't so bloody cold !!!! (not to mention the 1/2 foot of snow).

Well, here in Quebec, it's just -42C with a weak 20km/h wind.... :cool:

Let's just say that's a little breeze... (Well, it doesn't keep us from freezing our *ss out there!)

Bitching... Apart weather, what's for bitching? Surely not the latest build...

[drewkeller]

our wind is actually calmed down quite a bit now, down to 13mph (21km/h)
a rather warm winter though, 28F (-2C) right now
darn stinking winter, march 21 is coming

i want to be outside with happy feet
(bare feet are happy feet)

Cold???!!! It's friggin like an oven down here!!! While you stayed indoors and had turkey for Christmas, we had barbies (BBQ) in our backyards. The other day it got to 31 C - it was so hot we decided to buy ourselves an air conditioner.

Well, I guess we're lucky down here. Our winter's not too cold: -10 C at most at nighttime, and NEVER below freezing during the day. We get quite a healthy sprinkle of snow on the Banks Peninsula but only 5 times in ten years downtown. In summer we get to about the 20s and sometimes 30s, but we do have to watch the hot, strong Norwester everyone's going crazy over. We also get more sunshine than most places in New Zealand, with Blenheim and Nelson topping the rankings. This summer has so far been very dry and poor spring lambs are dying of thirst and the heat. But then again, in New Zealand when we talk about a drought we're talking about no rain for two months - just across the Tasman in Australia when they talk about drought they're talking about no rain for two YEARS.

Anyway; a bitch: Damn, it's mid-January and I'm hard at work again. Over here we're legally given 3-4 weeks holiday per year, but I would be lucky to get 2. I also had to travel heaps as part of my job. No, not to places like Invercargill, Nelson or Whangarei, but London, Seattle and Singapore. Aggghhh, I get so wasted after each of these trips. The week after next I gotta go to New Dehli, then Rome, then Vancouver and back again in two weeks!!! I love travelling, but I hate having to travel THIS often. :(

[Todd The Kiwi]

this has turned into turned into the weather post . 30 deg and 90% up here , yuk :( i think new delhi would be a bit more serious though. yeah we have barbies on the beach too :D

[Tokelil]

Dont get me started bitching here in january!! I still got 3 exams left here in january (one today) and I hate exams! :(

Here comes another weather post, hehe. Why the fock wont it get cold here in the netherlands!?! America is keeping all the cold weather for itself. Europe wants some too ya know. :) Damn western wind circulation, it just keeps on raining here with temperatures around 8 degrees celcius. :mad: As for other frustrations, windows xp is screwing up my computer again, blasted!

God, yea. I've seen on the news whats its like overthere. I can barely believe it. I cant even imagine temperatures of -10°C nevermind a wind chill of -70°C! Ya might as well live in a freezer than be outside. I hope you dont get any energy problems though, or its back to the good ol' ways of burning wood to keep warm :(

I have the same problem with windows xp every since I had to reinstall it on my computer. I also have the problem of every time I click on QCD in my favorites, it opens Mircrosoft then changes to QCD on my taskbar and I have to right click/maxamize to open QCD window online. It does all of my listings like this in preferances when I am offline and sometimes when I am on line. If anyone has any idea how I could change this, I certainly would appreciate it. It is very annoying. Thanks

I figured out why i have to login so suddenly when i start windows. I used Style Xp in the past and installed a new welcome screen. When i got bored by it, i uninstalled style xp without restoring the welcome screen. I think that now the standard windows welcome screen is buggered up (and maybe got deleted?) So windows reverts back to a stupid logon window now. It looks like IE is causing some problems for you, you could try out mozilla. It works fer me.

Thanks, Rex - I have never used anything except IE and I'm 69 so learning something new is more difficult than it used to be. I was hoping to be able to correct this problem without having to switch browsers but if someone can't tell me how to do it, I may have to switch.

What is stealth mode?

[J44xm]

What is stealth mode? I believe it's a reference to the ability to hide your online status at the forum so that your handle doesn't appear in the Users Browsing This Forum list. Does seem pretty pointless.

[Heigar]

What is stealth mode?
It's an option in your user CP so it makes you appear to be offline,when in actuality you are logged in (QCD forums)without anybody else knowing.

[Tokelil]

also just out of interest am i on anyones ignore list ? Ehhhmm welll no... or something... hmm... I'll give it a go once again. :D ;)

I want to bitch about all the bitching about the weather,what web browser is inferior and everything else that seems to be reoccuring like winamp (just joking,maybe i should have put this in the joke thread instead)but anyway i do have to bitch about that there are over 1500 members,come on people you joined a community ,express yourself ,some of us don't bite.:silly: i know you're all smart enough because you choose to use QCD and you really don't need to be smart to post here and oh ya I really have to bitch about if you like IE then use IE i have had no problems with it ,use mozilla if that's your fancy(i have had problems with it)if you like winamp then use it just don't rip the skins!

[Toe]

hay guys i really fucking hate it when people post forum messages like they're 13 year old girls on AOL

[Zayoos]

Toe, I totaly understand how You feel ;)

[Heigar]

TOE: :cry: :cry: :cry: me a river,your just jeoleous cuz you can't be as creative.You must spend a lot of time talking to 13 year old girls on AOL if you know that is how they write.

[Todd The Kiwi]

you mean like your last one ?

[Todd The Kiwi]

"hay" is spelt with an "e" too, "toe"

[Toe]

fuck you "toe"

what the fuck is that about ? perhaps you should THINK prior to posting shit like that , it's been duely reported , bitch .
hay guys someone can't take a fucking joke!


Seriously though, what compels a man such as yourself to write post after post after post in a goofy font and color?

[Todd The Kiwi]

oh my god , you suck !!!!!!!

[Heigar]

Seriously though, what compels a man such as yourself to write post after post after post in a goofy font and color?

then maybe you should have put that in the joke thread(if it was meant to be a joke,in which i think wasn't),and what compels him to do it is that it is an open forum and he has a right to express himself anyway he feels fit.i don't find a problem with someone straying from being a follower of using the default stuff.In fact Todd The Kiwi more power to you man .:D

[acozz]

Enough. Toe, you could have tried asking nicely. Todd, if you must use colors, try to limit it to one color a post and a small font size, it just makes for better reading. Thank you.

[Tokelil]

Unfortunally big flashy signatures and the likes are the reason why I have disabled sigs... :depressed

[Todd The Kiwi]

ok cool , no apolagies to "toe" though . you mention over zealous colour use, my previous sig was taking the piss and all the colourful posting was in reply to "toes" post , i usually just cane one or two colours usually. ha ha and black isn't a colour, but i'll stop there because you are a moderator dude...

[Todd The Kiwi]

it appears i can't remove this line ,
am i correct in thinking this?

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

If the line is removed, how will that distinguish your posting message from your signature(s)?

Btw, I like colours too :cyclops:

[Todd The Kiwi]

:skull: because of the unique nature of my sig,
i'm sure i wouldn't get confused , much... :skull:

Here is another bitch about the weather (does this sentence make sense?):

Why, for God's sake, wont it get cold here (wait i already have said this)! Right now temperatures are reaching 16°C or 60°F in the beginning of Februari! I mean damn it's supposed to be only 5°C or 40°F or less. Oh well, the weather is screwed up, enhanced global warming blablabla. That's all i have to say about it. :skull: :gasmask:

[Todd The Kiwi]

yeah that makes sense man . a "bitch" is a colloquialism meaning "a person who complains" so if someone "bitches" that actually makes them a bitch ...? english is a strange language indeed ! that makes everyone who has ever complained ,a bitch ... i think i'm going to complain about the english language - why does this language have so many words that all mean the same thing ?!

[Todd The Kiwi]

yet another from me , i was looking through the members list and was quite shocked at how many people have registered and not even made one post ! there is this huge list of zero's. i reckon there are about 50 of us that use this thing regularly and the rest of them just "leech" tech support and bugger off . is there not a help file that comes with this player ? i'm sure i've seen one in there somewhere . i'm not sure if this request is overstepping any invisible lines, but -could the members list be divided into 2 parts ? one contains people that use the forum and one for leechers that haven't even made one post.
p.s if any leechers are reading this do register and post something valid ... :carrot:

But i think you're going too far saying that these people are leechers. This is an open community, meant to provide support and answers to not only those that post messages... this forum is meant to double as a source of information, not just a section for those who take more notice of the occurances in the qcd world.

Ever thought about the fact that most new comers post a message when something is not working with QCD or if they have a new idea for a plugin or something? So because there are so many non-posters it must mean that QCD player is outstanding software. ;)

Somewhere there might be a flaw in my logic but i cant seem to trace it. :confused:

Maybe they register thinking to post an error report or to reply to a topic but then discover the answer in these user friendly forums. :p
Maybe something to consider is a automated system which gives the user 30 days to post a message, then when these 30 days are up and the user still has made no posts (or posted comments in the skins/ plugins sections), the user is deleted.
lets call it a 30 day non-activity rule...
(ps. im just throwing ideas in... 30 days may be a little short...)

[Tokelil]

Why delete inactive users? I dont get why you guys has so much against inactive users. Every forum has them. And in contrast to those who actually do post, they dont bother anyone! ;) I think it's great that people take the time to register even though they dont post.

There is that... i suppose i remember the days (and it wasn't all that long ago...) when any redundant data in a database was seen as a waste of valuable HD space... but those days are gone, thank god!!!

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I'm actually quite surprised how many people register at the QCD forum and not at all surprised why the winamp forum has so many registered users. Not that that matters. I think that things are just fine here. The QCD forum isn't too big and newcomers are not ignored or that their posts disappear in an overwhelming number of other posts each day. :carrot: :apple:

[Todd The Kiwi]

definitely a nice feeling when people reply to questions with helpful answers.

i've never even seen the winamp forum ,
it probably has a ton of rules like one colour posts etc...
i have 4 more msn contacts and one irc contact from this forum , sweet
i can't remember if this is off topic but you get that aye ...

[Hanzo]

I'm thinking as QCD's user database grows, the registered users will grow. I mean, I registered on QCD just for the heck of registering, but I think the active posters will grow but slower than the registered users. Anyways, I just hope this community doesn't grow so wild to the point that the neophytes get ignored.

if someone posts a question, it's all good. i'll certainly answer their question if i can .i was just bitching about the people who register and never post anything, some of them have really cool avatars. i think there are a couple of "noposters" avatars in the avatar poll ...

Here's a bitch.

Damn Crusaders lost both of their first two games in the Super 12 season so far. Bring back Steve Hanson PLEASE!!! First they got completely annihilated by the Waratahs in the most depressing game of rugby I've ever seen, and then they improved slightly against the Blues, but still ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. Shit, 4 out of the 5 Kiwi teams lost this week, and I'm really running out Kiwi teams to support. If those Crusaders don't pick up their game, I'm gonna go support those South Africans instead - maybe the Stormers or the Bulls or somethin'. The Blues? I shudder at even the suggestion of backing the Blues.

i'll certainly try it out although i'd prefer to fix the mo's rather than change browsers altogether . i really can't see why they are doing this to me
the user should be able to paste into a forum .
i can paste into notepad and outlook etc ... though
i've reinstalled all 3 of them and they still don't do it .
does opera allow pasting ? (more than likely it does)

Hi Todd. I've been following you're problem but I'm sorry to say I haven't got a solution. I use Firefox with no problems at all. In fact, I've just installed Chatzilla into it and everything went swimmingly.

I've even searched in Firefox forums and I can't find anybody else with the same problem. That's got to count for something.

Just athought, but maybe Deltaguy might be able to help.

i'm finding it odd that opera isn't free
also it came with quite a few cool things already enabled which is good because i've disabled things i didn't want rather than enabled things i did want
(how am i supposed to know what i want until i know what i can have?)
but i reckon the mo's are faster...just

what's up with this ?
i can't delete the existing attachments


dang it's happened again . what's the story with this then ?

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

There is a simple way of solving this, which is what i have been doing since my attachments reached 1MB in total. Just delete your post(s) that have the attachment(s). ONce the post is gone, the attachment is gone :chinese: Im sure you got some really old posts with attachments, so why not delete those.

[Todd The Kiwi]

hi rex man :grimreape good plan mate
but about two days ago i managed to delete all my attached images etc...
it just won't let me now for some reason .
also two posts with attachments were only posted the other day
and another one is in :skull:that:skull: thread...
i reckon it's just another page that's busted ,
it'll get fixed soon enough
at least i killed 99% of them the other day .

Let's see if the MozillaZine Community can help... ;)
I posted your problem in the MozillaZine Firefox Support Forum (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=68759)
Guest posting is enabled over there, so feel free to go over and post anything that I may have missed or answer any questions they may have about the problem without registering...

[Bytemaster]

Hello everyone, I am from over on Mozillazine. I created an account here to help troubleshoot. I haven't been able to reproduce this problem yet. My first suggestion is, since you are using different themes, is first to try the default theme. If it works under the default theme, see if there is an updated version of that theme that works better with Firefox 0.8.

If you upgraded from Firebird 0.7, you need a new profile or, at least, rename the Chrome folder in your profile (more info on Mozillazine). Also, never install Firefox in the same folder as a Firebird (pre-0.8) release. This can cause all sorts of interesting problems. It is best to remove the folder, or simply to install in another folder.

I don't know what your IT guy was thinking, because Firefox uses very little of the Windows regestry. It stores all of its configurations either in the application folder or in your profile.

If you need anymore help, see us on Mozillazine. Enjoy everyone, looks like you have a good forum here. Forgive my intrusion :calm:

[Todd The Kiwi]

g'day i feel i may have put you crook on a couple of things
here is a pic of what i see when right clicking in a reply in this forum using
firefox 0.8 . i get the error message when using the 'buttons' that are circled
and as you can see i get no option to paste when right clicking.

[Todd The Kiwi]

this is what i get when using opera and oddly enough opera wouldn't let me attach an image . BIZZARE...

[traveller]

Todd, what extensions are you using with Firefox? I not only get a very different right click menu, but I also don't see as many buttons on the screen as you show.

[Todd The Kiwi]

Todd, what extensions are you using with Firefox?
i'm not using any extensions (that i know of)
i've seen these on their site,
but considering i don't really know what would happen if i got any or how to fix it if i cocked it up
i decided not to get any.
i'm going to reinstall firefox (again) and leave EVERYTHING in default to see if it makes any difference but the only thing i've really done to it is scored some skins ...

[matty28carter]

My computer gives me the exact same problem, press those paste buttons and it gives me an java-script error. If i right click i don't get the paste option either. I get round it though by pressing "ctrl+v" that works.

we have to fix this man
if i'm not the only one it must be more common than was thought
by the way 'ctrl+v' nice plan mate i didn't think of that stop gap solution

Here is what i get when i right click in the WYSIWYG editor & what happens if i press the "paste" button. (i butchered the screeny a little 2 make it fit)

this was good timing , i just finished reinstalling mo' fox and it still won't paste
what we see is what we get for now i suppose , dang.
we must pray to the mo god for a fix...

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I have no problems with that. But i may know the answer. Go to "file". Then to "quick preferences" and select "open requested pop-up windows only." If you refuse all pop-up windows, the attachment window will not appear.

[DeltaGuy]

Ah, I've been able to reproduce the problem! The reason I never get it is because when I copy and paste, I never use the buttons on the top menu, I alwasys use the following keys:

Cut -> Ctrl + X
Copy -> Ctrl + C
Paste -> Ctrl + V

I really don't know the problem, it may involve some strange Javascript written for non-standard browsers, ie IE. My best recommendation is to use the key combinations when you paste, they may seem like a little inconvienence to you, but after you learn them they become a great time saver (Cut, Copy, and Paste are actually written on them on my keyboard, so I don't have to remember). Or, if you go to the toolbar on the top of your screen and click on "Edit", there are Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons there that work. Try those.

[rorythedog]

I'm using Firefox too but I do get the cut/paste options in my right-click menu. However I don't have them on the QCD webpage as shown by Todd.

Weird.

[Todd The Kiwi]

REX - thanks man i just enabled that and it seems to be working , when i clicked on the smilies they didn't popup either but now they do , sweet. not that i use any that aren't :grimreape or :skull:

DELTA - i keep forgetting to try this man i'm going to sign out of opera and come back in mo'fox to try this , it doesn't seem like a hassle to me man
also i only tried the menu buttons when right clicking didn't work

RORY - you get them (cut/copy/paste) in other web pages but not this forum?

[Todd The Kiwi]

sweet as ctrl+c,v works fine here .
although if anyone has any good ideas on how to get the right click thing working i'd be well keen to fix it.sweet as ctrl+c,v works fine here .

What Text Editor Interface are you using? Basic, Standard, or Enhanced? The problem occurs in the Enhanced interface, but you get Cut, Copy, and Paste in the Standard Mode. This gives me and idea.

TODD-> Go to your User CP -> Edit Options -> Scroll down to Miscellaneous Options
There, change your Interface to the Standard Interface, which is the one you were using in Opera. Do you get Cut, Copy, and Past when you right click now?

EDIT: Changing this works for me!

Here in Ottawa...

Bingo! Always wondered from what part of Canada you broadcast "The Roj Show'! I grew up in Ottawa...in fact my sister who works for CBC Radio is still there. Talk about winters...when I was 14 I remember walking home from Woodroffe High School in what felt to be -196 degree weather (AGAIN), and between the falling tears vowing to myself that at the first opportunity to leave I was taking it. Two years later I was living in LA. Later on, because of Vietnam, I returned and attended Ottawa University before moving to Toronto. I have done extensive travelling and can tell you that Toronto is a very fine city. And not nearly as cold as Ottawa.

Europe wants some too ya know. :) Damn western wind circulation, it just keeps on raining here with temperatures around 8 degrees celcius. :mad: As for other frustrations, windows xp is screwing up my computer again, blasted! Out of nowhere i suddenly have to press OK when starting windows in order to log in.

Oh yeah...like it is ALWAYS somebody Else's fault...it is NEVER YOUR FAULT!!! (hehehe) Personally, I have ALWAYS had to press OK whenever I have logged on to WINDOWS. Perhaps the screw up was that it was NOT asking you for the OK before but has now CORRECTED itself and is asking you for the OK.

LOL You are quoting something i said that has long since been fixed by a format c:\ action. :P

The cause was style XP with which i changed the log on screen and later removed style xp which buggered up the logon screen and made windows no longer let me log in automatically. That's why im even more hesitant to change the boot screen. Boy, if that gets buggered up, then you are in deep trouble.

I had that happen to me twice in three days trying to use some bogus program and a boot screen image from deViant...both occasions requiring a trip to my computer 'guru' who had to reformat. Yet I still insisted on having it my way and went ahead with a different source and installed the 'Longhorn Transformation Pack'...even though at each step the author was telling me he was not responsible if it screwed up my computer...and did I REALLY want to do this...deepening fear at each 'next'...until the final OK. Guess what...the 'Longhorn' Graphics look great! Would I do it again? Probably!

Why is it that when a bad thread is started and the mods tell people in the same thread to just let it go and drop it ,that 20 other people still post in that thread after having to read the whole thing including the mods posts?

Wouldn't it be easier to just remove or lock the thread so that no one else could post in it?

Wouldn't it be easier to just remove or lock the thread so that no one else could post in it?funny that you take this thread entirely off topic ;) but the problem is, that both moderators in that thread, don't have any moderator powers in that thread, only Paul (or Matt?) can do something there...At least that is what I've gathered...
but perhaps one of the mods could PM Paul or Matt asking to have that thread locked... which would kinda help, I think :)

And indeed, asking people to let it rest somehow doesn't get across to some others... probably because of knee-jerk reactions to the topics title. :)

are you guys going to update to a new forum when the new qmp is released
or not fix this stuff or what?
also can you please add some more file types that we can upload.
and is there some way that there can be a list of max file type sizes so we know if modifying something before spending time trying to upload something that is way too big is necessary.
i did say "please" :biggrin:

One explanation could be that when somebody comes into a thread late they go to the beginning and work forward. As they move forward they begin to respond to certain posts...before they arrive at the post suggesting the thread be closed.

Not necessarily every-time...but certainly sometimes.

There also remains the possibility that since the thread has not been closed after it has been suggested that it should be...then some people assume that because it hasn't been closed then there is no reason not to post.

We need to get our tempers under control here. I know people have a bad day now and again, but we don't need to see you go off here. If you don't like something you see going on here, start a post about it here, in this thread. That IS what it is here for you know!! That way everyone can get their feelings about the percieved problem out, if they have any, and we don't have folks getting all pissed off. Through discussion and reason we can head problems off, BEFORE they become a problem. We just have to have the balls to say it!

We lost what I considered a valuable resource here today because of someone NOT doing this sooner. He was valuable in a different way than others of you here are. It was said that his posts were without value. You could not have been more wrong if you had tried, his comments just had a different value. Humor IS a value too you know.

Too many people take things, and themselves, just way too seriously. Life is too short to take it that seriously. To live a life you have to learn to loosen up a little and enjoy the experience. Sure it can suck, but you can't let that stop you. With that attitude you wouldn't last 2 weeks in my job, I assure you.

I for one am pretty mad right now, but I am trying not to destroy my keyboard as I'm typing and still controlling MY temper. I am attempting to remain diplomatic. This post started out with much more venom and vivid language than you see now, but my cooler head prevailed.

Anyone else have a take on my comments? Without the venom too kids!

[Shewolf]

I agree wholeheartedly Raven!
Don't think I can really add anything to that.
There are far too many uptight/argumentative people who need to calm down.

[Roj]

I never visit this thread - I've only posted once to it as I recollect.

Here's my bitch:

If I ever again see ONE personal attack such as that which has aparrently resulted in the departure of a member, I'm going to be VERY annoyed and some of you may remember that it's really not a good idea to annoy Roj. The attack in question was WAY out of line, uncalled for, totally uncharacteristic of this forum and should have been dealt with at the very least via PM.

I tend to stay out of the way because the board has a tendency to regulate itself due to the maturity of its members. The incident in question wasn't a good example of that.

We're all adults. Let's behave that way.

'nuff said.

[BALTY]

balty - perhaps you'd like to modify your grammar a bit, that sounded really fvcking stupid.
But that's actually how I like it too!
sorry...
Butt actually , that's how I like it also! :bandit: Better?
LOL really Loud~

btw, my post about people talking too much here, was meant as a humourous post... I just commented on it, because I had two pages of "new posts" to sort through.. perhaps I should have explained that...

OK. I think you and your bum chum are a couple of arseholes! Like that? Just trying to be constructive you understand.

Don't you get it? Things were fine until you and your idiot slave appeared. Sure, I have my problems, but they ballooned as soon as you shiny faces arrived. Whet the fuck makes you think you have the right to go around laying down the law? You're a fuckin' jailguard man, get a grip! You can't apply the same standards here as you do in your hell-hole of a jail. We all know how the Yankees view human rights so I can't say I'm surprised.

Get down off your high-horse man, before someone takes you down.

[hedge]

K thats almost ban worthy... Chill, alright, this is getting very very personal, and theres bugger all point anyway.
In fact with that other reply in the other thread, tis time you got banned. It seems stirring the hornets net once wasnt enough for ya.

You looking for an IP ban rory? Keep it up and you're going to find it.

I'm through with the whining and the "it just ain't the same any more since they showed up" BS.

Cold as Ice by Foreigner just came up on shuffle mode when I read that. :ermm: I guess no one can see eye-to-eye these days.

[Shadowraven]

I'll of course let Roj handle it, but chill Rory. If you're trying to upset me, it ain't going to work. I'm used to it and I don't take the bait. I was simply stating how I felt. I'm not trying to "lay down the law" to anyone. If you think I'm some kind of regimented disciplinarian Nazi, you obviously haven't been paying attention to anything I've posted. Probably because you don't care to, and that's alright by me too. I'm pretty much the opposite of that actually. You know we're not all the same over here, some of us even hate what's going on with our country.

I'm not on any "high-horse", nor do I think I'm "holier-than-thou". But I do have a right to state my opinion, don't I? I certainly would never even think of keeping you from stating yours. I would rather not see you get banned though, because I think you are basically a good person. You have obviously taken a dislike to me for some reason, and that's ok by me. I don't particularly dislike you, even now. But you need to calm down man.

Everyone can hit a rough patch, or have a bad day, week, month, or year. I know I've hit the bad year before and I never want to go there again. It was horrible, a real and true nightmare. If you are having any of that, I understand, believe me. Just try to take it slow and easy. Peace. :)

[Roj]

I'll of course let Roj handle it
Let it go, mon. You check the date on the post? It's ancient history at this point.

And I'm sorry to say that someone who made me welcome when I first arrived here and whose opinion I respected is likely now gone.

That's where I'm leaving this aspect of the discussion. I'd invite others to do the same, please.

I understand Roj, and like as not, you're completely right about that. I'm sorry, but I felt a need to respond to what he posted to clarify some things. I'm sure you'll agree there was no hostility, or venom, in what I wrote. That said, I'm done and don't plan to post on this subject anymore. Like you said, peace mon.

[Willow of Oz]

It really ticks me off when people ring up radio stations, or write into newspapers, or otherwise whinge and complain when they watch some MA/AO/R show with every warning under the sun and were offended by what they saw. "I was shocked and disgusted with the language they used, and running around all nude. And it just got worse during the second hour."
People, if you don't like it, don't watch it. If it's inappropriately classified then by all means go ahead and let someone know, otherwise just STFU.

Yeah, we just got a spate of it recently in Oz (new season of BigBrother) and gee, I just have to vent.

[acushla]

and running around all nude..

Conditioning: When acushla comes into the forum and immediately sees 'bitching any one' resurrected...immediate change in mental state...dread when clicking 'enter'...total joy when I don't see my name anywhere in the post.

So...where exactly do I go to see them running around all nude?

Here's another bitch:

Pretty soon im off to do fieldwork in SE Spain and for crying out loud we still haven't found one rental available for one month after searching for weeks! I mean, it will be June! No one in the world has summer vacation already then. :grimreape. Well aparently this year lots of people fancy going to the middle of nowhere where there is no f*ck to do except look at rocks all day. And all the rentals are taken, tsss. It's just crazy. I mean we still have to drive to Spain which takes 3 days. Not having found any accomodation beforehand really sucks.

Phew, that clears the sinuses. :paranoid:

You're right man. I found a link to a spanish site the other day with some more rentals but didnt think it was going to work out. Luckily we have a girl in our group from Brazil and who speaks Spanish. So she phoned the owners of the rentals and it looks like we're pretty much set. :) I should keep telling myself: No worries mate, no worries at all ;)

why are some ppl here so against the concept of helping. seems simple to me - someone (particularly a noobie) asks a question, u answer it. if you don't have an answer, u leave him alone. since when has it become ritualistic to mock their issue, be it with windows media player, wma format, or anything? not only is that counterproductive, but i find it offensive. if u actually want them to literally trash the stuff, why would they listen to you. i know i would (and considered early on when faced with this) say: wait, i am trying out a new program with a highly acclaimed forum. i figured i can ask my question. if they mock my problem, forget qcd, im going back to whats worked for me.

seriously, if you have no answer, shut up.

You have a point.

I guess that the whole concept of Windows Media Player provokes such overwhelmingly well-deserved derision in just about every forum out there that it's now de riguer to flog it.

That doesn't mean it's right to take newbies to task on the subject though, assuming they're willing to listen to alternatives and the reasons for them. That of course is so often part of the answer: "You want to know about Windows Media Player? We'll start by asking why you want to use it in the first place and were you aware of its myriad pitfalls... ".

[Toe]

seriously, if you have no answer, shut up.
My usual post IS an answer. I genuinely believe that it's by far the best answer, and is MUCH better as a long-term solution.

Once upon a time, I had a lot of VQF files in my collection. But I realized it was a dead-end format (much like WMA). I've long since replaced them all with MP3s, and I'm glad I did!

For much the same thing, see Paul's post on mp3Pro (http://www.quinnware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3400)

May I recommend Ogg for encoding in the future? Otherwise proprietary formats will ownz you.

[Todd The Kiwi]

what if i see a post
can't answer but feel i should say i can't and that there will be someone along shortly (!) who could?
at least they know they have been acknowledged
us who know less than the rest of you guys about computers etc
can at least prize some basic info out of those who think we can read minds...

i reckon that is cool, and i know that's what i would like if i were new :nervous:

I did that with a question about music tags...it was not something I knew anything about but a new forum member had asked a question.

After a day of no response from anybody I did what I thought I needed to do to bring it to others attention...only to be jumped all over for it and told that if he really wanted to know he could google it.

Does not encourage me to repeat the same action.

The difference was that you created a new thread about the same problem, which is not really a good course of action... instead you can *bump* threads (create a new reply in that thread)
If no-one knows a solution, no solution can be given, it's that simple.

Better to follow the rules than to actually try to help somebody.

What was I thinking!

[Todd The Kiwi]

it's more like -
irritate regular forum goers for the sake of some dude whom we've never seen before

we don't even know if he appreciated your efforts
and we are still talking about it... :ermm:

You tried to help, okay that is commendable,
but opening new threads just to get some traffic to the first one is NOT the way.

As I said (and this will be the last reply I make on this issue), the best cause of action would have been adding a reply in that thread, in way of bumping the thread.

I'm just trying to help you.. if it is not appreciated, I will shut up....

Perhaps you can find a previously configured reg file to merge, but I advise against it. EVERY unmanaged shell is unique, so a merged reg file that affects the shell can have undesirable effects.

See http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

You will find a simple freeware tool that will allow you to disable the shell function(s) of an offending app. No advanced registry editing skills required.

If you can translate my nerd words / geek speak to a more widely acceptable / comprehensible format, PLEASE DO.

[matty28carter]

i have a reg file off neowin that'll remove those entries for you. attached. load up the reg file with the " - " inbetween to remove the entires " + " to add them back.
