Cough Cough.. Check out Multi Photo Quotes..

Sounds like a fun idea for a snack to me.

May I plug my recent long post on Project Wonderful and other ad services that aren't based on clicks and so aren't susceptible to this kind of click-fraud.

IMHO,  if you've written as many as 100 posts, you've undoubtedly made a "donation" in terms of your mental effort, just as good as a monetary donation -- and likely more "valuable" to the site.

A financial donation is always nice -- but if you really want to contribute to the site -- pull up a chair and join in the conversations, contribute your wisdom and time, and make others feel welcome.

They get assigned based on whim and have no effect -- they are just for fun and amusement.

But let's say that anyone who has over 500 posts can message me and ask for a custom title..

You should suggest some that you would like, but much like a nickname, you can't guarantee that we won't pick something not on your list and you'll be stuck with it

Perhaps the community can suggest/nominate people for special names..

Thanks very much for the report, glad it's working. 

Thanks Tim! Will be fixed in next release.

How strange..

I wonder if it could be the way it was started up?  If you exit the program and restart if from Start Menu does it then work?
Maybe after you exit, check the ctrl+alt+del task manager and make sure it isn't still running, before you restart it.

The reason it doesnt work is that "igo" is the name of another alias.
If you look at the igo alias itself (in the Core-Internet alias file), you'll see it uses the special command "htmlviewurl".

So, change your alias from "igo http://ninjawords.com/?q=$$1 /stayopen"
to something like "Search Ninjawords for $$1 | htmlviewurl http://ninjawords.com/?q=$$1 /stayopen"

That assumes you want the web page to open up inside of the FARR window.  If you wanted it to open your external web browser you could just leave off the "htmlviewurl" part.

I guess a more accurate statement would be: "All other things being equal, faster spindle speeds nearly always mean better the performance."

And then adding something about what other factors have the greatest impact on real-world performance.

If you were trying to give someone some quick rules of thumb for choosing fast drives, i still say it makes sense to tell them to look for fast drives and to not be too distracted by cache sizes, and "max" throughput rates achievable by the card.  Would you agree with that? Can you formulate a simple way to tell people what to prefer in terms of density/plattercount?

Or maybe you think the best thing to do is to tell people to ignore all such stats and find a site that will compare drive performance explicitly for the drive you are considering purchasing.

ps.
As someone who has become paranoid about drive temperatures (in terms of fearing a hardware failure due to overheating) -- i tend to focus FIRST not on speed but on reported drive temperatures.. If I find a HD with great performance but which the reviews say runs hot, i run away.

mahesh2k,

I checked out PassionFruit ads and they sound quite nice.  Very similar to the use case I described in my post about how we here might want to allow ads to be purchased on our site.  In short they seem like a great solution for someone who just wants an easier way to let someone buy an ad on your site.  It's much less automatic than Project Wonderful -- its more like a lightweight middleman payment processor that would let someone buy an ad, relieving you of much of the headache of it.  Definitely looks worth checking out and matches well with phitsc's suggestion of finding month-long sponsors.

One question to mouser: As large percentage of the DC readers or surfers are likely to be ABP(ad block plus) users, have you noticed the difference in ad views vs traffic numbers? Or you see less number of ABP users?

to be honest -- in the old days i used to track the statistics of pageviews on the website quite a bit, as i was so curious about it.  now i don't even bother looking at them. i can see the ad views on the google page but i don't really know how they are affected by ad blockers..  I'm not sure it really matters.. If someone is running an ad blocker then they are not the type to click on an ad, so i can't think of any good reason to want to show them one and annoy them for no reason

phitsc, your ideas are well worth considering and make a lot of sense.  having an approved sponsor for a given month might be preferable to random ads, and might be doable in a less intrusive fashion.  the only real downside to that is the work/time required to line up such sponsors -- and of course the downside of having ads/sponsors on the website in the first place.

after this may/june ad experiment we can remove the ads again and go back to normal no-advertising, and think about whether we want to experiment with such sponsorship things the next time.

Since this thread got resurrected it does pay to mention that long time DC member Renegade has a neat app for slowing down music for helping musicians learn:

Definitely not a feature.. it should be automatically sizing the name column i think to show full name.  I'm assuming you are using the latest version (4.03)? I know the list view is something that was fixed in version 4.01.

f0dder can you elaborate -- that sounds like a reasonable statement to me -- though i am an admitted newbie when it comes to hardware.

Another update: I've been convinced to change up the ad formats once again.  Now using smaller horizontal ad and having it not appear in a "post-like' box, but having it appear set apart in the middle of a thread.  Removed the large block of text surrounding the ads.  I guess this now looks more like the "standard" way ads are typically integrated into websites.  I would like to keep running this through june.  Again, it's only shown to people not logged into the forum so shouldn't bother any regulars [see instructions above if you want to force the ads on for you even when you are logged in for some unholy reason].

As others have said, I don't see people using this.  However secure it may be, who is going to want to risk connecting to their financial institution login more than they have to.

On the other hand -- for years paypal has provided a super-easy-to-use, free security key hardware device which provides a serious and real extra layer of security to logging into their site.  They are way ahead of the banks in this regard and it's a genuinely excellent security enhancement.  I don't know why we haven't more use of such devices.  A single-login system that supported such hardware keys would be quite useful.

I think I've had this same avatar since the site started in 2005.. I think that accurately suggests that I am somewhat averse to change.  Also that I like cartoon cats.

The place that you would interface a custom script is on the "Custom Script Tool" tab page of the Modify Format option:
[attach=1]

After you configure your tool, use the Presets menu and choose Save As to save it.  You can even set a custom hotkey from the "Preset Hotkey Trigger" tab before saving.

The key to understanding how to use custom tools/scripts with CHS is to see from that dialog that CHS will first save the clipboard text to a file, and then pass that file as an argument to the script, and then expect the script to either save changes to that same file, or to a different file or output it to stdout.

So what you need to do to use REXX or any other scripting tool, is test calling your tool from a dos commandline.  Some scripting languages will let you call them directly like "myscript.py %infile%" but others may require you to call them with the full path to the interpreter like "C:\Python.exe myscript.py %infile%".

Then just test your script from the commandline until it does what you want.

There are some sample tools in the Tools\ directory of CHS to help you see how a tool should behave.

Email me (mouser@donationcoder.com) and I'll send you a debug version which will log what's going on as it happens and we can see if we can catch this hang in action.

App,

My best friend and I loved watching star trek TNG and we made an art of finding things to laugh hysterically about.. I can't believe we missed that Riker sitting method.

Thank you for the offer.
I'm afraid that Screenshot Captor cannot currently be translated. It's something I've thought about.. Perhaps soon I will add the ability.
