Was a bug in the actual blog software, not some configuration we'd missed. Fixed. :)

The PSU wattage is irrelevant. The PSU only draws what it requires, if you need 150W to power your machine it will draw the same regardless of whether you have a 300W PSU or a 1000W PSU.

I'm not having this issue on any tested browsers (FF, Chrome, IE8) regardless of whether I'm logged in or not. Can you provide the URL it links you to from the board index (right click the icon and copy the link) and then also the URL that you actually end up after clicking it? The only bug I found while testing this was one which I've reported here: http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=tracker&showissue=20306

PSU will be fine, easily.

Looks like your browser might not be un-gzipping some of the content it's received. No-one else has reported such an issue so I can't see it being server-side.

Thank you! I'll look into that. I wouldn't bother unless you're prepared to pay a monthly fee.

A VPN can tunnel Java applications, it's the only kind of "proxy" that can.

What's the exact model number of the adapter? Sometimes you can get drivers for the chipset rather than for that specific brand and they will work.

It's absolutely nowhere near half for 32-bit systems. The main feature of 64-bit is to allow the addressing of more memory. There's the ability to handle more information at once because of an increased bus width, and also they handle smaller numbers more efficiently. There's also the ability to use some special 64-bit instructions. None of these features, however, make it twice as fast as the same CPU in 32-bit mode. Perhaps you didn't mean to phrase it to sound like that, I'm unsure. Handling more memory means the CPU has to work harder correct? It has the ability to handle more memory because the address bus is much wider, in 32-bit a smaller address bus is used. Bear in mind this memory only needs addressing if it exists, if you're using the same amount of RAM when you moved from 32-bit to 64-bit then it's not doing any more work, or at least nothing that would cause any kind of noticeable load or temperature increase.

"Upgrading" to a 64-bit OS from a 32-bit one requires a fresh installation. You will need to burn the files to disk and either dual boot with Vista x86 and Win 7 x64 or wipe your Vista x86 and install Win 7 x64 over the top. You can only do a straight "in place" upgrade when you are staying on the same architecture (x86/x64).

If this was a video card issue, it wouldn't appear on a screenshot. Browser issue then? There's no way its an issue with the forums. I'm aware it's not an issue with the forums, I just didn't want the poor guy rushing out to buy a new video card for no reason at all.

Warranty?

D: Nice work! I think that's the best eye I've seen you draw yet. :P

The BIOS has nothing to do with the recovery partition unless it happened to be on a completely seperate hard drive (which I've never seen a PC Manufacturer do). This is because the BIOS can only select the hard drive to boot from, but your normal OS still has the boot flag, not your recovery partition. Usually there's a key you can press for recovery which will force it to boot from that specific partition, however if that doesn't seem to work at all then there's a fairly easy way around it, you can force it to boot to that partition using Linux. All you need to do is grab an Ubuntu LiveCD, run the Partition Editor (GParted), and assign the boot flag to the recovery partition and apply it. This would remove the boot flag from your main partition as well and when you next rebooted it would boot off the recovery one. After the recovery has finished the boot flag should automatically be reset to the main partition by the installation process.

You can put a cheap keyboard through a dishwasher if you put it on lowest heat - and you can put a dishwasher tablet in too if necessary. You need to wait around a week or so for it to try, turning it every day can help. Do NOT do this if you have an expensive keyboard.

If you do a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 normally), the fonts have been reverted to font-families that everyone has by default, which should stop the issues where it changes font after loading.

Yes, she is awesome. ;)

The Tip.It themed forum skin has been released! This skin has been set to the default for everyone to begin with, so if you want to change this, change the skin as you normally would. Please bear in mind this a new release, and there may be (read: probably will be) a few bugs that need to be ironed out. If you see one of these bugs, please let us know by either posting in this topic, or sending me a PM. We did try to check for as many bugs as possible but it's likely some have been missed. There's one that we currently know about - bold text doesn't always display bolded on the skin. This is to do with the font-family we're using and we will look into it. Please note there are currently no alternate colours for the skin, just the default "Mithril". Enjoy!
