Sure. Here are all the Jmod replies, which have actually been collected from other threads in tech support I think. [hide] Mod Hodge Jagex Mod 11-Jul-2012 12:12:50 Hey guys, I can understand that this change isn't ideal for you and you feel like we are pushing this onto you, however we wanted to mimic the current view in the browser and also make it very accessible to jump straight to the website or the forums if you need assistance. Kind regards, Mod Alex _____ Jagex Mod 11-Jul-2012 12:23:06 Hey guys, I am sorry to hear your not liking the website bar in the client, we always welcome suggestions from the community and it would be good if they could make it a toggled option in the future, sadly though for the time being at least the bar is there and will not be removable. Again should you have further questions please don't hesitate to ask! Best Wishes, Mod Alex ______ Mod Alex Jagex Mod 11-Jul-2012 12:30:31 Hey C 3, Thanks for taking the time to contact us about this.

Best Wishes, Mod Alex _____ Mod Mozza Jagex Mod 11-Jul-2012 14:08:23 Hey guys, We really appreciate all the feedback that you guys are giving us and we really value your input especially just after updates. I am passing this all up to the RuneScape team so we can look into the possibility of reverting this back.

Nice to see the reason for adding it wasn't shits'n'giggles. Not that their reason was good, but it's nice to know there actually was one.

The silly thing about this is that it was only last week that people lost their cool when Jagex added a bar to the bottom of the browser (doing the same thing, robbing screen real estate), and immediately retracted it the next day (or the same day) after it became abundantly clear that literally no one who used a browser was happy about it. Good to see Jagex has a long memory and the ability to stop future similar updates when the first one proves to be so incredibly unpopular. With any luck, it's just Jagex being Jagex and they will remove it. Unfortunately, less people use the client I think, so you will be unable to summon the RSOF RAGE that the client userbase can summon. My theory is that they were worried people wouldn't get angry enough about this weeks updates :lol:

Sea-doo.

Well, I made it into the ocean, or rather through the run. I also learned that it would have been a spectacular idea to go there in person during low tide first, since all the shallow areas and rocks come out of the water during that time, and I would actually be able to see the deep water channel that runs through it. With any luck, I would also be able to see all the rocks on the other end (that I almost drove into and are the reason I decided to call it a day). I did find a video of some guy going through it at speed, and it follows him out into the ocean, but I would like to see it in person at low tide before I try that again. I've never driven through a current before, and at the end it got pretty surreal since the current was strong enough that I needed some throttle just to not go backwards. Looking to the side and seeing all the water rush by, but not actually moving relative to land was kind of neat. Would definitely need to make the trip several times before I was actually comfortable going through there though. I also learned that I should definitely wait until after high tide, since there is a bit of a time delay on the current. The high tide mark to shortly after the current reverses should be safe.

Looks like tomorrow I will get a chance to take a boat through the run and into the ocean (run being a small steam of sorts). There is a nice high tide to make the waters navigable, at least for smaller boats (smaller ships being able to better deal with the currents, and having more time to respond, and also drawing less water). Going to take a car over in the morning to take a look since I have never been through it that I can actually remember. Tomorrow I drive on the ocean for the first time in my life, if all goes according to plan :thumbsup:

:lol: Thanks! And thinking about it more, Noxx you should be able to get away with calling her, and just saying that you weren't sure if she still wanted to get together, and you'd just like an answer either way and if the answer is no you'll leave her alone. Get your answer and go from there.

Pretty much this. The other solution would be to actually call her and talk voice to voice so that she can't just stop responding, though the time when you could do that without being stalkerish might have sailed by now. And I think the sexual abuse rate is a bit lower than that. Good on you for breaking it off, even though I'm sure that sucked royally.

I just want to get this out there in case I'm right... My prediction is it will only be rechargeable with the co-op points, not the normal slayer points or money (or exorborantly expensive if it is) in an attempt to push co-op slayer on us.

I think its a known bug, and you'll probably find that it doesn't always happen (for a while I was getting it maybe every 5th time on average). The really annoying part for me when I get this is that I have to reload the game to get back out of safe mode. I don't know where to find it anymore, but I think it's a known bug. Not sure if it affects open gl or just direct x though. I had assumed they fixed it by now since I last got it weeks ago, but I've also not opened up the map in a while. The easiest way to deal with it if its bugging you is to use another world map that can be opened up in a tab, rather than the one in game (which also skips the super annoying load times for their map) such as ours, which can be found at http://www.tip.it/runescape/html/world_map.htm

:wall: This belief right here is one reason why so many relationships fail. While it sounds good (and politically correct) on paper to start placing someone else's wellbeing above your own, and to sacrifice your individuality and replace it with an "us," this usually just leads to massive problems down the road. Why can't more people just enter relationships while maintaining their individuality and crossing paths with their partner(s) when their needs align? As opposed to forcing your partner(s) to do things with you when their needs aren't always the same as yours? When it comes to relationships, the self is always #1. And that doesn't mean that you have to treat your loved ones with any less compassion, love, and respect, either. It's easier to give to the people you care about when you've got your shit together than when you're worrying about other people's problems on top of your own as well. Also, more food for thought: the reason you treat everyone with love and respect, even if they're your own parents or kids, is because deep down you know that you will personally benefit from doing so in the long run in one way, shape, or form. Read this: http://harrybrowne.o...iftDaughter.htm Err, not really what I said. First off, I think I have covered it in the past, but if your making compromises that are going to breed resentment, then your relationship has no buisness being. It's going to fail or make at least one of you miserable, so you should see the writing on the wall and bail out. When I say 'us', I mean I don't get to one day go out and buy myself a Lotus because I want a kick ass car, and make us unable to pay our mortgage. When I say we are equal (and I did say equal, I never said placing more importance on the other person, and if I did, that's not what I was thinking), I mean I don't get to blow off date because I want to go clubbing, and if I call my boyfriend up while he is watchng family guy, I expect him to pause it and talk to me rather than saying sorry but he doesn't feel like supporting me right now. My point being, in a relationship, you have to care about the other person, and you have to consider their needs in addition to your own. If some sort of balance is struck that makes you both happy, then awesome. You've completed step one to not being miserable and screaming at each other for the rest of your lives. For friends with benefits, perhaps I am misunderstanding, but I would assume they are still friends, and this isn't just a strait up booty call with a random stranger. So while there is no commitment, there would seem to be some obligation to either support your friends, or stop being friends, and if the latter, then don't be a dick about it unless they did something to deserve it. Since I don't think being raped is ground for other people to be a dick to you, then I'd like to see that not happen. Now, he has every right to bail if he can't handle it, and if he can't handle confronting her than so be it. My position is more of a don't do something your going to regret, because when you in a better place yourself, you might look back on your life and wish you hand't gone down easy street. And for the article, I'll take a read, but you did get me. I am well aware that we are social creatures and ultimately we are in it for personal gain. We get benefits from our relationships, and we will only have relationships as long as we are getting enough out of them to compensate us for the risk. And out of curiosity, how do you manage only being in relationships where you can't share your feelings without fearing or even expecting the other person to run for the hills the second things aren't 100% rainbows? You have all of the physical intimacy and satisfaction you could ever want, and none of the emotional support. It never hit me before, but that seems very lonely.

This is a fair point. No matter what you do, if you break things off she is going to connect the dots and come to think that telling people will scare them away from her. It's not a great position for low leveled to be in, but it does warrant some consideration if, as Omar said, he is willing to take one for the team and try to get over it, at least for a while. But if not, until your in a committed relationship or a parent, then self is more important than anyone else, and you need to do what you need to do. In a committed relationship, then I would say both people must consider each other the same as self, and once your a parent then obviously your children are the most important people in your lives.

We may never definitively disprove the existence of gods, but that more we know, the smaller god seems to get. I think people a few hundred years ago would be really surprised by what we know today, and likewise I think it is quite likely that we would be very surprised how much about the universe will be known in a few hundred years. The theory of evolution has already cast serious doubt on the idea of special creation, which has lead many of the religious who are accepting of the theory to view god as more of a guider of creation than an architect. It's not unthinkable to me that future advances in understanding could cast doubt on even that concept. Just a thought, but doesn't this prove that ultimately belief does not impede scientific understanding? It might slow it down, though I would argue that the ability to slow things down has diminished as our understanding grows, but this would seem to prove that end the end of the day our desire to answer all the questions we can ask will push us harder than religion will ever be able to hold us back. And don't say that all the discoveries are being made by atheists. There are a huge a number of religious people making discoveries, and there have been as long as religion has existed. And now we are beyond the point of calling people witches, or religions being able to smother knowledge like they used to be able to. Some people might ignore or deny our discoveries, but as a species, our knowledge is ever growing despite this. We will never be able to defeat our curiosity, at least not without wiping ourselves out of existence. It does sort seem odd at first glance, but when you think about it, there is a nice reason to it (and also that poster above me has made an incorrect logical jump). Religion is a big part of many peoples lives. Big enough that we have words for pretty much every stance on the issue. If golf were as important to as many people as religion is, there would probably be a word for people hate golf, a word for people who don't care about golf, a word for people who are big golf fans, and a word for people who are so into golf that they consider it the reason for their existence. We have found enough need to describe people who don't believe in god, and people who don't know if they believe in god, that we came up with words to describe them so that we don't have to keep saying 'people who don't believe in god(s)'. There are many many concepts, and we don't have words for many of them, and instead describe them through combinations of other words. For people who speak multiple languages, I'm sure they can provide a lot of examples of concepts that have words in one language but not the other. Off the top of my head, as I understand it the Inuit have a whole list of words for 'ice' that describe the nature of the ice. English has 'ice' and 'black ice'. Black ice is a big enough deal that we came up with a particular phrase for it, though we could have made new word for it instead. So no, it doesn't strike me as odd. If anything, it surprises me that we don't have a word for people who don't like sports that we can attach to the name of the particular sport, and end up with golf naf or hockey naf or something like that. It's the words that are missing that are weird, not the ones we have.

This is something that gets me too. I don't talk much to begin with, and for a while I was a terrible conversationalist when paired up with anyone who wasn't pretty much content to listen to the sound of their own voice. I've gotten a lot better at it over the years, but carrying a conversation is still quite an effort for me. I'm happy to contribute up to 50%, more if its something that actually really interests me and I know a lot about, but I need some help getting the ball rolling. Normally once I try to start a conversation a couple times I will just go with silence until the other person makes an attempt thus signalling they actually do want to talk.

Do you do other types of art aside from painting? Just thinking back to some of the stuff I used to do in art class, and I can't paint most things to save my life (I do some abstract patterns, but never any sort of object or scene or things like that). At one point, I made a couple Plasticine sculptures of runescape monsters, specifically a lesser demon and a green dragon, by making skeletons out of paperclips and hot glue, and then making the creature on top of that. They are time consuming to make, but if you like sculpture, perhaps you could make a figure of some sort of Magic creature/person.

There is no set threshold, though guidelines do exist. It's based on intent, frequency, similar type offences and posting patterns. Someone who makes a few honest mistakes is going to see more slack that someone who trolls for instance. We try to keep it as consistent as possible though to keep things fair (treating similar cases the same way), but there is no master formula for figuring things out. I guess the best answer would be, we start suspending people when warnings are showing to be ineffective. It's less punishment and more corrective action, except for a permanent ban which is 'you refuse to change your posting behavior and so we will no longer to allow you to be a part of our community until you convince us that you are willing to abide by the rules". If you want a number though, it's usually 3 warnings. It's a nice number of chances, and its enough points to show a pattern. Normally to get less than 3 warnings, your breaking a rule where we ban you indefinitely automatically, such as posting porn. People who get more than 3 warnings are generally in the realm of a warning maybe every year. Oh, and the warning system changed (as you can see) from the last version, but there are also backend changes. No one should find they have more than 10, no matter how much they were warned, because the old system had a cap and so we used certain values for certain things. This system doesn't have a gauge, just a counter, and I guess there is a cap on the variable but its a whole lot more than 10 now.

I'm pretty much waiting for vastly improved AI, and maybe that has finally arrrived. I know what I needed was in the works at some point. Problem is that the game consumes a lot of time, and I need to be in the right mood for several consecutive days or nothing gets done. Pretty much all I am doing right now is building resident evil esqe fortresses, but I run into the problem where the fun (for me) is really only in the thinking up security features and testing things. I don't actually enjoy hollowing out my facility, and at times, I don't enjoy building the curcuits either because the way you lay redstone is super annoying. I need wires that don't try to auto connect to everthing around them so that I can shrink my circuits, and ideally I want some printed cuircuit boards that I can build and place to shrink things even further. Literally half the time I spend in game is just trying to get everything laid out to accodate multiple circuits in close corners, and the other half is constructing rooms. I get so bored that by the time I get to the good stuff, I half ass it and it doesn't work right. Someday I will have my base though. Someday.

In water skiing that is called slalom. My brother normally does that, though I have never spent enough time to manage it without a prompt face plant myself. I'll normally go skiiing like 3 times a summer or so. Used to go more when my brother lived at home because he would have friend over that skied a lot and then I could go too. And from what I can see of the lake, that looks like a nice area too if there aren't any rocks. Nice open spot.

When you guys say Default your talking about the tipit skin right? Please don't say your actually using the default skin (the IPB one or whatever that comes with the forums). I'm pretty sure they design that to look as terrible as possible while still being plausible as a real skin to fuel the skin making industry. Also, apparently everyone who uses deflection also posts here, since I think the last time I looked at the usage for different skins, deflection was the most after tip.it at like 23 people or something. I'll have to find the numbers again. Still warm and sunny here, except yesterday which was warm and not sunny, with the occasional drizzle. Sometime during the week I am going to see about getting one of the sea-doos into the ocean. If I can find an area that meets the criteria for deep enough, no rocks, no lethal undertow, and not people to drive over, I can have some fun driving through the swells near shore. I just don't want to hit anything or drown if I get knocked off, so it might take some doing to find a spot. Most of the areas I would go are potentially fatal if you fall, or probably have rocks I don't know about, but the place I would want to drive has surfers, because apparently the criteria for some awesome wave jumping and surfing are pretty much identical. I've also never been on anything smaller than a good sized car ferry on open water before, so their might be something like agoraphobia. I don't like open water ways, but I also don't like the idea of not being able to drift to shore in pretty much any direction. Should be good enough fun that it will be worth scouting a spot and getting the boat there though.

They are still friends, and ignoring her is essentially using the silent treatment on her. And yeah, it sucks because if your honest, your going to hurt her either way, and your going to suffer more if your strait up with her. But I'd still consider it the right thing to do, and your probably going to leave her with fewer trust issues if you don't just try to vanish. It's a shitty situation though, on every level and for everyone involved. And I would like to join in with the lack of understanding of how someone can rape someone else, let alone a family member. That most sexual abuse would seem to be familial is frankly terrifying, and probably the worst kind because these are the people you should always feel safe with. Take that away and you make someone truly alone in the world, and that is a terrible thing to do to someone.

Heh, cheese used to be quite funny while still discussing serious stuff. Lately, while a lot of his insight is still interesting for me, it'd be nice if the jokes would keep on rolling at the same time. I want more of his 5 things I learned by quitting drinking.

Maybe instead of being a jackass to her, you should tell her upfront. I would just like to take a second and point out that this is pretty much the worst thing you could do. Be a man and tell her you don't want to see her any more. She isn't going to be happy, but beyond the 10 minutes of suck this is going to rain down on you, its a much nicer thing to do than trying to ignore her, and it will probably be a lot better in the long run. I can see the temptation, having been in a situation where ignoring seemed like a good way to go myself (the difference being we lived in the same house, and a totally different point of contention). I seriously regret taking the easy way out even though I can't be sure things wouldn't have been even worse had I not, and its not something I will ever be able to fix, because every day I waged my war of apathy, I dug the hole deeper. I might never be able to fix that mistake, but its not one I ever wish to make again.

hate pranks. don't get me wrong, they can be fun to play on people, but I hate being pranked enough that I would be more than happy to go my entire life without playing any pranks on people if it meant I would get the same in return. On April 1st I normally adopt an isolationist policy (least favourite day of the year). Vezon, why did your dad nuke your computer? Saw the new spiderman today. I enjoyed it more, though there is some new movie bias. More importantly, they have made several plot arcs from the original set that really annoyed me (I only liked the first one) impossible in this one, so at least if it goes on to disappoint, it will do so in a different way. Also saw some previews for more movies I would like to see, which is nice I suppose.

I can't say it was ever my thing, and I haven't heard anything about the order in a while, but I do remember it, and I used to have a friend who was in it a long time ago (back in my f2p days). Long live the cabbage :thumbsup:

This thread actually got one additional chance. Now its locked. If people wish to discuss PC's vs consoles, then make a thread for that. This one will no longer be available for hijacking.
