Except for one thing... The basic link in the applet that you can copy&paste doesn't force high quality mode... This leaves you at the mercy of the youtube website... Do you notice how I always do the extra work to provide the nice versions? \ 11,238 ~Mr. "Nice versions are better." Devnull

Have you rebooted since the installation of Java 6u10? Also, did you try running antivirus scans? (I've actually heard of viruses that are able to hide while Java is installed... Further, they will keep breaking Java until you remove it, remove the virus, and then put Java back in after. I'd like to think this isn't the case, but who knows...) And lastly, a question you didn't answer earlier... Was there any key event that happened prior to Java breaking like this? Usually, this does not happen unless there's been some connecting event. :? Sounds like an extension that people should be staying away from... :| ~D. V. "I think there's a missing puzzle piece here..." Devnull

11,240 ... New page ... 8-) ... And a video... whose language could be called 'NSFW', so don't watch unless you're in a nice quiet place... :twisted: " " by "R3tardedSAVAGE" XbIZ-bUA6Xw (Haven't checked the related items... Beware, should you decide to visit them...) @ Everyone who hasn't been crediting the vids --- Please look at my formatting code and remember it so you can credit the vids too? It is kinda disturbing to see a vid but not know who it really belongs to. :-s ~Mr. "Sneak... sneak... sneak..." Devnull

Okay, since you've tried FF2 and IE, and are having the same problems, I can rule out both of your browsers (and therefore ABP also) as being at fault... Anywho, onto the next question... What version of Java are you currently using? And is there anything that could have happened recently to break or cause a fault in your Java version? TBH, you may be right, and do need to just simply reinstall Java... :geek: (Off-Topic: If you wish to have a set of ABP filters for the RuneScape pages that cut off anything bad hitting you while you're at RuneScape's website, feel free to ask. I'll be glad to post them up. :) ...) ~D. V. "From one possible piece to another..." Devnull

I was just asking for that, wasn't I? -.- 11,243 ~D. V. "I've been had..." Devnull

pinkbullet3, are you using the ABP (AdBlock Plus) extension? :-s If not, disregard the following questions. :ugeek: However, if you are, is any of the filters killing the applet's loading sequence? Or is it possible that you don't have a needed filter in place, and that is killing the browser due to some bad content incoming alongside the Java App, which would then prevent your being able to play RuneScape? :geek: ~D. V. "Anti-Assumption" Devnull (p.s.: I use ABP myself, and can help fix some issues with that...)

<*DVD points at his answer to Angat14*> ....... Lending won't work, because it just comes right back to the owner and their bank after just so many hours at maximum. :notalk: Since it is already rc'ed, all that can be done is to drop or sell. Personally, I still recommend my earlier idea of selling the 2200+ "Air Tiara" that Taloopis has, over on W16, and for about 400 gp ea... That happened to be the price I was able to sell at the last time I had the same kind of problem. :geek: ~D. V. "Too late, it had already been crafted." Devnull

Monster :twisted: <*DVD starts eating the plate full of cookies that redhaloguy left on a table nearby.*> 11,245 ~D. V. "Good cookies! Yummmmy!" Devnull

You're very welcome. Always glad to help. : ~Mr. D. V. "Dilemma Solved" Devnull

That's a useless tactic. You'll end up with the items just coming back. Back to square one. :boohoo: ~D. V. "Bad idea, dude." Devnull

Wont happen is right, and, I dont support. Simply put; we dont need it. And it would be massively abused. People can get around the chat filter as it is, so if you put one on this it still wouldnt do anything to prevent abuse. What about if a right-click option for reporting was added to the examine text, allowing quick reporting if it is offensive? Or maybe just adding a rule option to handle that in the usual reporting interface? Keep in mind, the only way that Jagex catches rule-breakers, other than their watching systems, is the community that plays. \ ~D. V. "This is still good, with the right design." Devnull

11,251 Now if only we can have repeated bursts of counting like that? We could then start nailing hundreds on the count (and several associated pages) a day! :thumbsup: LOL ... I got mine from dsavi too. I just hope he's got the spare account bandwidth to support this object, otherwise I'll have to outsource it to my profile... :P ~D. V. "Keep the ball rolling!" Devnull

[*:34kwyn90]11,262 Wow... That "Tip.It Sig Bar" is spreading contagiously, isn't it? :D ... I wonder if the Admins and Mods will join us in sporting them on their sigs? :) ~Mr. "That's one good sig..." Devnull

Hi, Ly7! 8-) You won't need to spend anything more than just time, because gp can't be spent on the following items, which have a skill requirement to become able to wear them... If you have 50+ RuneCrafting, go play the "Great Orb Project" minigame, found at the RuneCrafting Guild. And in case you don't know where the RuneCrafting Guild is, go to the 2nd floor of the Wizards Tower, and look for the nifty purple portal that's in the wall near the stairs. Once you have around 5000 tokens, buy the whole pack of Yellow RuneCrafting Robes, which I think costs about 4000 tokens. I think you will find that they go rather excellently with the Mudskipper Hat and Flippers. :thumbsup: And here's some links so you can get an idea of all of it... : http://tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=4355 -- (Mudskipper Hat) http://tip.it/runescape/index.php?page=great_orb_project.htm#rewards -- (Look a small way further down this for the images of the yellow runecrafting robes... You can't really be colorblind, can you? RuneScape would be an immense hell to try to play if that was the case. :( ...) http://tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=4356 -- (Flippers) ~Mr. D. V. "There's a really good clothing option." Devnull

I'm gonna agree with all those who want the fraction kept. Personally, I also use it in combat to keep myself from ending up dying and going back to Lumbridge. :? Finding a way to shrink up, but keep the fraction, would be the best way to approach this. : ~D. V. "Don't remove the fraction, man!" Devnull

Not when there is duplicate views because people were waiting to post. :P Augh... not again. #-o <*DVD fisticuffs sirkidey into a 4-hour snooze.*> Let's see... Where did the count get to? Oh, yeah............... 11,266 ~D. V. "Caveats galore, anyone?" Devnull

Hmm... I'll take your word for it since I've never had the chance to see this irregularity. Although I must wonder what would happen if a laptop with such a connector setup took a drastic fall. :-k ~D. V. "Sorry for the upset, and thanks for the heads-up." Devnull

Alright... it is time that I, an F2P'er with a balanced-yet-crazy tangent, weighed in on this... :ugeek: It can not be ignored that F2P has gotten a lot of updates in the past year. Sure, some are so [bleep] that it has left both F2P and P2P complaining. But yes, there are good/awesome ones in the mix. :D Now, with that out of the way, the following opinion must be said: The quest that Jagex has made open to F2P only during Halloween 2008 is rather nice. In my opinion again, it would be best left open, as a milestone and memorial to Jagex having had RS's second incarnation active for 4.5+ Years since release. Maybe release one quest per Halloween Holiday or two after this, but nothing quicker than that, milestones of RS's continued survival. :mrgreen: And as for skills, Jagex could safely release only the amount of Fletching back into F2P that's needed for F2P's ranged options as an additional standing memorial... At least, this seems safe to do, what with the G.E. having killed 99.99999% of any possible methods of RWT forever. Beyond that, I think the design of F2P is basically finished, except for adding corrupt items for F2P Range/Mage to PvP... Unless you count one last minor addition of Bank Space in a couple years as an item to do. :? If Jagex did all of that, I'd be perfectly happy. I can't see anything beyond that which F2P could want and/or need... Unless you count those newbs/noobs who are yelling about a lack of CTF in F2P. :lol: ~D. V. "Just a few medium/small things left to reach completion..." Devnull

I'll support "Safe PvP" only. =; The "Dangerous PvP" worlds are meant to be challenging, both to the player who is attacked, AND the attacker. If it isn't a challenge to find someone you can sink your teeth into and get a fight out of, then what fun is it? These changes you suggest to those elements would basically make it too hard for the attacked to get away from their attacker, thereby effectively giving free drops to anyone who attacks another person. There is seriously no way that the current PvP Worlds' Design should ever change in that manner. :ugeek: ~Mr. D. V. "You really should think about what you suggest." Devnull

[BUZZ] You got the number wrong!!! :shame: <*DVD pulls out an electric chair, and sits matrix2613 down in it, tying them down and attaching the clamps and such. He then clicks on the electricity, and only uses enough to shock matrix into a temporary coma, which they'll come out of in about 8 hours.*> Hopefully, they'll wake up with the correct number in mind. :-w Now... where were we? Oh, yes................... 11,274 ~D. V. "Shocking, ain't it?" Devnull

Yomyth105, I'm surprised that you don't remember my recent post in another thread about this kind of thing. However, to help you along, I've copied it over from the other thread. Read on, and delight in wisdom... 8-) [quote name=From the post at viewtopic.php?p=6195264#p6195264 by D_V_Devnull, it was]I actually answered something similar to this recently. :geek: ... However, here we go... The S.O.S.'s First Floor (War) is a rather good place to train and get a whole boatload of stuff. You'll wish to fight the "Minotaur (Level 27)"s in the room in the southeast. Bring 150 Iron Arrows, 1 Maple Shortbow, Full Green D'hide, Leather (NOT Fighting) Boots, Power Ammy, 1 Coif, and 4 Lobsters/Swordfish... Use the barrier in that room to range over and kill monsters to your heart's content, taking damage only if you make slight mistakes, and gaining a near-endless supply of copper/tin (which you'd probably sell later) ores, Rune Essence, and more Bronze/Iron Arrows than you can shake a stick at. :twisted: I think you'll find yourself quite happy with your outcome... Especially since this can be done completely by yourself, without help. :thumbsup: And in case you're curious, I currently have '68 Ranged' only because I'm trying to train (and catch up) skills right now, otherwise my combat stuff would probably be a bit higher. However, I can certify that my advice will get you to 75 comfortably. Further, you'll get it without the problem of accidentally losing your stuff because you decided to try and AFK your training, which usually results in a nasty random event monster showing up. ~Mr. D. V. "When training, be there... Don't AFK..." Devnull I seriously hope this keg of info helps you, Yomyth105 ... I'm certain the endless drops will benefit you greatly ... :thumbsup: ~Mr. "Wisdom reappears in threads..." Devnull

Caxis, as long as your setup is less than 640 Watts, and you're willing to pay $140 USD, the following should work for you... :-k ... http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/228608/Belkin-F6C1100-UNV-Enterprise-Series-UPS/ Please post back if that isn't enough for what you need... I'm glad to see I'm not in a minority for awareness about UPS'es, and that awareness is growing. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Power Backup = Good" Devnull

<*DVD looks at both of his upper arms, and notices they're not in pain or flopping around.*> You do know what a humerus is, right? Neither of mine are broken. :) ... Maybe you were talking about my "sense of humorous"??? :P 11276 ~D. V. "I know what you meant, but I had to pull out the literal definition." Devnull

<*DVD looks at the triple reply to him, and sighs quietly.*> Ginger/Pryo/Laikrob, I would suggest leaving a bit stronger note then if you're joking or trying to display an example... Such as putting the example in a quote tagging, like this... ... so that people don't misinterpret so easily... While one person might see nothing wrong, and view it as nothing but sarcastic humor, another person can end up easily taking it literally or in an unintended manner. And as you can see (with me as an example) on that note, that didn't go over well. :( ~D. V. "Argh, sorry for the misinterpretation." Devnull

Wrong again. :roll: Both the FlashBlock extension and Java have to deal with the browser and the navigation system within, as well as the javascripting systems that both extensions and plugins rely upon to do what they do... Further, FlashBlock was stealing it an inopportune times, causing Ziggyzoozoo to have problems until they disabled FlashBlock. Now while the browsing elements work excellently under Internet Explorer (of course by MicroSoft's design) and focus will return to the applet, it doesn't work so well under Mozilla FireFox because the developers didn't have the foresight to throw the focus back to the applet even if an item in an IFrame tag was loading. And so with how FlashBlock is designed, it was glitching up the keyboard focus and sending everything to hell. :geek: While that all makes sense, I'm not too sure where you got that from. The logic is compiled from several sources. :geek: First, my knowledge of what happened to me while using FireFox without any advert blocking (Which resulted in my losing control of the RuneScape applet every time an advert loaded.)... Second, what was happening to Ziggyzoozoo (They lost focus ONLY while FlashBlock was enabled, it stopped when they stopped using FlashBlock.)... Finally, there was the small pack of knowledge I picked up on the way while studying about how FireFox was designed and works (Mozilla's pages on working with the 'about:config' system gave some nifty pointers too, inclusive of the fact that a feature called "spatial navigation" wasn't put into the default FireFox builds, which would have possibly handled this issue.) ... :-k When I looked at it, it was like a light clicked on in my head. Everything that was happening fit the problem that Ziggyzoozoo had run into. For that matter, it has now also dawned on me that these extensions, even when they aren't actively in use, have some kind of basic item within that listens for something (which could range anywhere from a keyboard/menu shortcut to a keg of incoming page data) that they're supposed to be handling. Which would add to explaining what happened with the FlashBlock add-on, because having such a listener that is not designed properly could result in some of the same kinds of focus-stealing issues... :? I hope this additional info helps your understanding of my earlier post. :) ~D. V. "The logic connects..." Devnull
