Updates

 

I'm more active at animecrazy forum, i've got a thread there - same as here and same username

 

Sorry folks, I've sold my computer away due to personal reasons. Seems like i can't updates major stuffs anymore, Avast software and others don't works on PS3. PS3 basically a gaming system - harddrive etc and a seemingly outdated javascript browser.

 

For your information, my school provides laptops but only for projects, so mostly no internet connectivity.. even if have also risky to login at public usage computers. I'll try to access through my PS3 Internet Browser (it's crashes sometimes) but so far i think there's sufficient updates and i hope it'll benefit more and more users.

 

Take care everyone. My PSN is Fallenism_25 (I've changed new psn) add me if u play FIFA 11 or DS Pokemon etc.

I see,i went check. It's because of excessive pop ups. Sorry didn't notice because was using Firefox + Adblock plus.

 

''I had to copy the plain text as this forum only permits 10000 characters per post compared to your original 14000+.''

 

You mean you copied the whole colored text from there then to here it's whole plain text? so that means you didn't delete any of the words in the settings etc?

Posted

Yes, I didn't delete any of the words in the settings etc., copying to notepad, and then here, not even one word is deleted.

FYI, it is exactly 10000 characters together with my EDIT: De-linked Link is in the signature. note now.

Hi solbjerg,

 

By entering a post into a thread you carry the relevant thread up to just after stickys.

 

Of course, the usage of the Forum should be chosen as "Linear-Oldest First" (default) in the "Control Panel of the User" to see it as intended.

 

Recently, there are a lot of threads in the Lounge section, so, a specific thread can be lost from the front page downwards if it is not sticky.

 

By posting the comment "Bring up my thread", usefullll is trying to keep the edited Computer Tips thread par with the similar threads about useful programs, as editing does not change the relative position of a thread.

 

Some others use "bump" for the same reason.:lol:

 

Cheers.

Just a warning guys, be careful when using a rootkit scanner. Sometimes they come out false positives, and if you delete something important...you know the rest.

The scan that firefox does after you downloaded something seems rather useless. It has NEVER found anything, even when i download some of the most common spyware, a simple walk down the wild side.

 

 

In any case, if you'd like to remove the scan it does (as it sometimes freezes on big files)

 

 

Open up firefox, type in "about:config" without quotes, in the filter search scan

 

set the option scanwhendone or something like that to false.

 

 

No more annoying scans :)
