TheGreatGeno, could you post up the message's source/headers for us here, please? Just copying displayed message text, and/or showing us a screenshot of the displayed final product, just isn't enough for anyone to truly tell you if something is a scam or not. :geek: ~D. V.

USB ports keep randomly stop working
I hope you have a backup of your old system state(s) prior to the reformat. It sounds much to me like you junked a special USB port driver set that you had in there before, and you'll need it back to stabilize your USB stuff. :( ~D. V. "Sounds like the wrong driver to me...?" Devnull

Dungeoneering - Which way do you prefer?
Hi, Sydan. When it comes to Dungeoneering, I'm one of those who like to do 100% complete floors without dying. (e.g.: everything gathered and used, resources/drops/etc., and resources are stocked after every room before hitting the boss just in case... result = 125% exp gained) Unluckily, I haven't found anyone that slows down for people who like to go all Magic for their combat. (yes, *gulp*, me-in-a-nutshell) This results in my having to do c6 floors solo, even small ones, causing me to take 1.5 hours per complete dungeon (used to be as slow as 2.5 hours) at my fastest because I'm doing it all myself. Compared to some of what I hear, that could almost be considered embarrassing, but that's as fast as I can go for solo times. :-( I'll admit, I would like to get into a large group where I can operate as just a stationed skiller at the first room during the dungeon, and then lend combat help for the boss at the end after all the other rooms are done. I'm currently facing an exp cap at combat 90, and I'm currently doing my dead-level best to avoid getting hit by it. (I'm currently cb 85, 100% f2p earned, and wishing I was still cb 75 or something like that.) At this point, it's also nearing where I need to avoid racking up combat exp for a while. So if anyone wants a skiller who doesn't get into much combat, I'd like to help, seeing as I've got the levels for all f2p stuff in Dungeoneering. |^_^| ~Mr. D. V. "more of a skiller than a fighter... tend to overprepare..." Devnull (p.s.: Sorry about the overkill in mini-notes... I couldn't figure out how to make sentences of them. :oops: ...)

My take on runes.
Soa, just one last thought from me... Make a version alongside what you're currently doing that has the non-insignia'd area of the runes looking a bit more like rune essence. It would be sort of like how the runes look in-game after you've RC'ed them. :) Other than making sure it provides an extra option, Jagex will not get one of those all-or-nothing impressions from the idea when you send it in. Plus, they will see how they might integrate it with everything that they currently have. |^_^| And before I seem like I'm just being a pessimist, I must honestly say that I think the direction you've already gone in looks rather fantastic as-is. It even gives me an idea on how Jagex might improve their in-game animations for both high-alch and low-alch, which I've always thought might have been lacking a little. :shades: ~D. V.

The "First Thing That Comes To Mind" Game!
Sticky stuff that I don't want on my shoe. :notalk: Next thought... "David Orr - Soaring In The Stars" :shades: (Click to listen before you post your answer to this... and listen all the way through, please.) ~D. V. "This time, it's musical!" Devnull

when I got to view new content it says no new content found
Thanks for the additional info. That explains why I had the feeling it was a little slow. :thumbsup: Since the thought is poking my mind, is it possible to safely set the update for "View My Content" just a little quicker? Maybe 18 hours or 12 hours? Or, if the server can shrug it off, then 6 hours? Just asking, not trying to push. :idea: ;) ~D. V. "The weirdest things cross my brain..." Devnull

I think I can speak for all of us when I say: Thanks for the extra-fast repairs, Peter! We appreciate it a lot! Everything's back to full-kick working! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Epic fix! Thanks!" Devnull

My take on runes.
Heh... I meant to just make the insignia etched by the RC'ing glow, but those look good as well. :thumbsup: BTW, nice job on the stone background idea. :shades: Who knows, we might even see Jagex throw in a crazy change in their rune design in the future if they saw this thread. :P ~D. V. "Ah, the ideas... and they look awesome!" Devnull

Printer Problems
In short, it was just a nasty glitch that required a reboot. Glad to hear my worst-case theory wasn't true. :lol: ~D. V. "Phew! LOL" Devnull

Congratulations to a brand new Administrator!
No, no, Howlin, you got it all wrong... it should look more like... ...which makes it look far better. :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V. "Up for the running chunk-o-humor..." Devnull (p.s.: Congratulations again, Tecmaster, on going from Crew Leader to Administrator!)

http://i.imgur.com/QJcEU.gif Hey! I look a heck of a lot better than you think when I'm a small furry fox! I change magically like an animagus, not like a freaky werewolf! :o ~D. V. "Falling over from the shock, anime-style..." Devnull (p.s.: And yes, I know you're having fun teasing me... :-P )

Congratulations to a brand new Administrator!
Glad to see you climb the ranks into Adminville, Tecmaster! Congratulations! :thumbsup: Now to see if I can find you on RuneScape, eh? This definitely deserves partying or something. :) ~Mr. D. V. "W00T!!! Awesome!!!" Devnull (p.s.: Now I know which Admin's shoulder I can safely change into a small furry fox and snuggle up on... That is, if you'll let me? :^_^: )

Worlds 25, 113, and 141 removed
About the only one I'm mad about is 113... I went there many times to escape bot advert spam. I'll miss it dearly. :cry: ~D. V. "That was one nice world, damnit!" Devnull

Java Issues (LOCK PLEASE :))
Try going to... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u29-download-513648.html ...and grabbing the latest JDK 6 (6u29) manually. If you can download that file, then you should be able to launch it and get java working again. :shades: BTW, how did you try to remove the other Java install? Also, what browser are you running currently? :huh: ~D. V. "... and there's an option, I hope?" Devnull

My take on runes.
Looks good. :thumbup: If you want to add something to it, you might make the parts of the rune where the insignia is glow a little bit. It would give them a 'charged' sort of feeling, I think. :idea: (No pun intended with the emote I just picked, BTW...) Or, if nothing else, you could brighten the rune insignias just slightly. ;) ~D. V. "Nice! Maybe give it some glow? Or just a brightening?" Devnull

01 Nov, 2011 - Behind the Scenes - November
Hmph... I'm still disappointed that they're not thinking of adding options to the chatbox for transparency & more colors and/or making chat continue from the game to the lobby & vice versa... <_< ~D. V. "There are longer-standing issues... Why don't they cover those first?" Devnull

when I got to view new content it says no new content found
I brought it up because if both are malfunctioning then the issue has to deal with the indexing of new content. Got it. BTW, it looks like the "View My Content" page is now totally malfunctioning as well. Updates have stopped altogether. :( Thanks, Tecmaster. Glad to hear your heads-up on it. :wub: ~Mr. D. V.

Printer Problems
Sy, I'm gonna have to with the above, and suggest that you check your wifi settings and then switch to hardwired as well. It sounds much to me like someone broke into your network, changed a ton of your settings, and left your printer non-connectable. :geek: ~D. V. "Feeling like taking note of the worst-case situation..." Devnull (Edit by author due to missed thoughts earlier...)

when I got to view new content it says no new content found
Are you sure? I'm fairly certain that although a list of content DOES come up for "View my Content", it does not properly update. For example, the list generated is old and it's not updating ALL my content, yet what already existed on that list does display new posts. Indeed. It appears to be taking extremely long for new threads to be added. It is a little slow, yes. Noticed that slowness myself also about the "View My Content" link. While annoying, I've lived with it because of far larger bugs with the Forum that, IMHO, should be handled first. Personally, I just chocked it up to trying to keeping everything functioning versus the SQL driver in the back workings of this Forum. (I've seen too many blowups from that crazy thing already...) That, and it has only been slow since the Forum Restore. My bet would be on a slowdown caused by some of the new security measures that would have been put on the Forum Server. :| I'm pretty sure it will get worked out in proper order. Until then, patience and I will be good friends. Anyway, isn't this thread supposed to be about "View New Content", and not "View My Content"??? :o ~D. V. "IMHO, this ain't something to push... Bigger fish need frying first." Devnull

Notification when someone responds in a thread i have commented in
Powerfrog, I suggest the Inline Notification, if you want to be notified at all. That nifty little number with a down arrow by it (between the "Sign Out" and "Signed in as <name>" links) is where it will reveal itself, making it extremely friendly and easy to pick up on. :thumbsup: ~D.

Argh! Seeing it myself as well. Knowing my luck, it's an SQL bug or something like that. :( ~D. V. "Ow... I can't see a thing!" Devnull
