Annoying isn't it, i've got around it by clicking middle button on my mouse.

A thing i have noticed about Firefox is i have a touch screen monitor and by touching with 2 fingers and moving them apart it enlarges the screen/zoom in so to speak, well on IE it does but not in Firefox. It took a while to suss this out, thought my monitor had gone faulty.




Edit. touch screen prob sorted, some gestures have been removed since Firefox 4, just put them back in, wonderful this tinternet.

Change site wide, ask Sadfish to add it to his "I'll do it when I get time" list.

Eight days from the start of the season, are you for real?

So much of the old setup was hand coded, this new site although it looks the same hasn't had the tweaking and you change one thing and something else breaks, it is hardly an urgent problem.

Any one got any suggestions for a decent graphics card? i currently have a nvidia gt 9600 with 512mb memory. Had it a few years now and it plays most things well on the new pc i got a few months ago. But want to upgrade to something a bit more future proof and something that will probably take advantage of my newish pc. Preferably ATI because as i understand it, ati cards will send both video and audio out through its hdmi channel which makes things better for watching films etc on my tv. The nvidia cards apparently dont do this. as far as price is converned im looking for mid range. dont wanna be spending much more than £115. In all honesty im not sure of how much difference i would see between having a mid range and a top range expensive card anyway. but as im not exactly a gaming enthusiast its not to important. I play a lot of flight simulator though which can be demanding with all the add-ons etc.

I've been looking at improving my entertainment tech at home. I have a PS3 and a Sony TV, which is good, but I'm looking at adding some sort of top quality sound to that. Basically, I can't understand this whole AV receiver/stereo receiver business, nor do I fully 'get' what they do. If, for example, I bought an AV receiver, rigged my PS3 up to it via HDMI and bought myself some decent speakers, what exactly is the AV receiver doing that my PS3 can't? The PS3 is playing the music, so does it really add much? Does it improve the quality? Boost how loud it is?

You see a lot of 'cinema systems' in the shops, i.e. blu-ray players with five speakers, which is all nice but I don't want the blu-ray player so I kind of rule them out. I'm after something that I can put my PS3 on to play both games and music (iPod touch for this also), so do I go for an AV receiver or stereo? Furthermore, would this receiver improve the audio quality of the built-in HD freeview on my TV, or does it have to be an external device that I attach to it?

All code is hand coded. However the old set-up was largely automated with modifications to the forums applied using the standard approach of [url=http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.vendorbr.htmlvendor branches[/url.

Going off everything you've put, I wouldn't upgrade. Your card seems to perform well enough for you at the moment and you don't play games.

I was under the impression the 9600 GT had HDMI out? (I may be wrong) and as far as I know both ATI and Nvidia cards will push the sound and video over HDMI (although that's more to do with the HDMI standard than anything else)

Just tested a GeForce 8400GS and it certainly does do sound over HDMI

Mine doesn't have a hdmi output so maybe thats why, it has 2 dvi outputs, one i use to connect to my tv with a cable that one end is dvi and the other hdmi. I read somewhere online that the 9600 gt doesnt support it but maybe they where wrong, but either way I haven't found a way to do it.

Ah that's the deal breaker, that's DVI and it definitely doesn't carry sound, even if the end that plugs into your TV is HDMI; the output is still DVI.

Any card with HDMI will do what you want (transfer sound and video). You can easily get a decent one for your needs for under £100, have a look on ebuyer.com (or their ebay page)

just having a look now, the radeon 6790 looks like the one so far. seems to compare reasonably well to the higher end cards as far as bench marks are compared too.

Certainly seems so, scores well. I use this site to compare cards: www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

Are you talking about the links at the top of the page? advert links? links within posts..................... etc.....

Indeed now the code is modified using the sadfish v1.9.0.4 vendor branch with a bit of theckoism



Hope you are well fella.

Links within posts mate, they always used to open in a new tab

That should be back to how it was now.

Noticed that on the forums I'm getting a pop up saying IE has blocked some content on this site, due to security certificate errors. Is it the site, or IE?

I'm guessing it's IE but I'm at work so using something else isn't an option

Well, that's not strange. The banner dissapeared as soon as I posted the above message!

Suppose to lesson here is to be a more active poster

Advice please.

In my house i have 2 laptops, 1 pc 1 xbox 2 smartphones and a dlna tv.
Can anyone recommend a wifi router (cable or adsl) that will let me stream hd movies over a home network?

Any router will be able to cope with that, I presume you mean wireless router.
Look for a decent name and 802.11n.

I have a couple of videos I want to crop (cut out background). I've downloaded after effects (something on google said it'l work), but can't seem to figure it out.

Its nothing too professional, just trying to crop a smaller square out, wondered if there was any free software/how to do this.

I've suddenly (in the last couple of days) started receiving loads of spam to my Yahoo email account. I always used to get about two a day (one for cock pills, the other for dodgy rolexes), but this has jumped up to nine or ten a day. I haven't been on any dodgy websites, at least, no more dodgy than usual, so I'm not sure what's happened. Is there any way I can stop it?

Likely, you or someone else has published your email somewhere lately? Or you've maybe signed up for something (could be quite innocuous).

Either way, as your in Yahoo Mail, I doubt you have much control over spam settings beyond just selecting the emails and clicking "Mark as junk" button, it's supposed to learn to then junk future spam mail (it's not exactly foolproof though, so I wouldn't expect great results).

If it's proper spam (as in viagra, payment rejections, etc) as opposed to marketing (like from amazon or whatever) then there's no point blocking senders either; if you had control you could block IPs but that probably wouldn't help either except for blocking that one (probably) open relay.

Again if you weren't on Yahoo, you could set up reverse DNS checking but I'm massively going O/T now.

I would advise, if the levels of spam are too high that you should move to a decent mail provider with better anti-spam (Gmail) and don't give out or publish the address anywhere.

I have a Gmail account, it's just that I've been using the Yahoo one for so long it would be a hassle informing everyone of the change. I don't think I've given the address to anyone who ought not to have it, and I'm always very careful to tick boxes saying "don't share my details with third parties". Perhaps someone has ignored my wishes. I seem to be getting a lot of unwanted calls on my mobile too...
