  1. Just a thought......I think if we did get this section, we should just host the images on our own free image hosting site accounts, instead of uploading them here. Uploading the images here would not only take up a lot of space on the server, but could also hog much of the bandwidth, causing the forums to be as slow as it is over at G4 sometimes.

    When I mentioned earlier about having a sticky with such information as rules about the pictures. (types of images, size limit, etc.)...

    By types of images, I meant the general guidelines like no nudity, inapporopriate content, and language.

    By size limit, of course I mentioned this so that someone wouldn't be posting an image that is as excessive such as being 1024*945 or something, and of course no images that are 400k.....this also helps keep the boards running fast and as smooth as possible for our dial-up users.

    I also think that in the sticky, should be included links to places to host their images, "how to's" for resizing images, posting them on the forums, etc.

    Just some things that should be considered by all who would want to have this particular area to post.

  2. And on the other side of the coin. ( something new to consider ) :(

    gmail is to creepy

    actually, that's not really anything new. This has been discussed all over the place. PC magazine even had 2 issues back in Jan/Feb that addressed these concerns.

    HERE is a list of links to some of the articles about gmail that were published in PC Magazine.

    That being said, I'm sure there are still many people who don't know any of this information, so I thank you for posting it for others to be aware of. :)

  3. But still need to do the bathroom breaks, so that is a good time to do the various anivirus and spyware scans or defrag system etc.

    Your problem is already solved.....here are two of the most popular variations on the market:

  4. ......Any one else experiencing this?

    Could something running in the background creating this slowness?

    Any ideas to correct the problem?

    Hey Handplane... I noticed after loading v1.3 that unless I closed ZA, and my active Virus protection, that it took for ever to scan. Not so in Safe Mode...

    How odd......when I run my scans, I still have ZA and AVG both running in the background, and no problems.

  5. I think that's a really neat idea! I'd love to see the different photos everyone could share!

    I do have one suggestion for it though, and I think it would be a MUST. If we were to have this section, then I believe we would also need to have a sticky with important information such as rules about the pictures. (types of images, size limit, etc.)

  6. Hey, just a heads up! I was going through all my settings in the "advanced" mode of Spybot S&D when I noticed in "Ignore Products" --> "All Products" tab, that some items under there were checked as default to ignore. These were malicious items such as the infamous "SearchForIt" toolbar. I unchecked all the items that spybot was being told to ignore and rescanned. This fresh scan found several more items that needed to be deleted immediately.

    No, these items were not under the "Install/Uninstall Programs." I also go through that regularly to make sure nothing has made it's way in without my knowledge.

  7. Hey, I'm running the same version, and also have SP2 installed. I'll tell you that I've noticed my spybot gets really slow at one point and doesn't seem like it's going anywere, but keep letting it run. Maybe start it before you go to bed, and check in the AM. Mine always runs all the way through, but usually takes about 15 minutes, or more sometimes.

  8. Currently I'm using it for Free, but when I have to money to pay for the subscription service, I will. I absolutely LOVE the program, it's helped get rid of several nasties that not even Ad-aware or Spybot S&D could get rid of. I still use them regularly as well, but I also keep Spy Sweeper.

    The program is also highly recommended by PC Magazine

  9. have you tried using another email client such as Mozilla's Thunderbird to see if you could get it working in there?

    I believe I remember that thread over at G4.....correct me if I am wrong here....

    You tried running all your up-to-date antivirus and spyware scans with no luck there. You checked your settings in OE and nothing looked out of place. When you click on the link, you don't get any error messages or anything.....nothing happens.

    Did you try posting a HJT log?
