We played games that could handle 8+ players:

• Mayday Mayday! - Hidden role bluffing game where you have to vote on who to let into the cockpit of a hikacked plane; we played twice, bad guys one once, good guys one once. Fun.
• Telestrations - A fun drawing game that I always play with large groups; no winners just lots of laughs; works with all ages.
• Dixit (Odyssey) - Players try to guess the weird picture card that best matches a clue; another nice game for larger groups of all ages, since there is no down time.
• Codenames - Very popular recent game where two teams compete to choose words to match clues; always popular, fast to play, very fun.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS Settings hijacked by Windows 10 - External image editor deleted/replaced

« Last post by mouser on April 07, 2016, 08:48 PM »

I wonder if maybe what happened is CHS tried to use the external editor you had configured, and couldnt find the program there anymore, so reset it to blank.

The Win10 update could not have cleared that field explicitly.
So that setting must have gotten cleared some other accidental way.
One possibility was that ALL of your settings have reverted to default -- perhaps because CHS did not find the settings file where it expected it or because a WIN10 update made the CHS settings file inaccessible?
When you exit CHS and restart, are your settings saved?

« Last post by mouser on April 06, 2016, 04:08 PM »

that's strange.. i'm going to have to set up a win10 virtual machine to test one, as i can't think of anything that would cause those plugins to crash on win10 -- especially not when running farr in portable setup.

Thanks for taking the time to post the solution you found. 

With so many options it can be hard for people to find the right settings to make SC most efficient for their workflow.

If anyone finds themselves having to go through extra steps to make lots of captures, please don't hesitate to post a question asking if there is a more efficient way to do the kind of repetitive captures that you are trying to do.

Anyone in the area is welcome to join us for board game night at my house (in Champaign, IL) on Saturday, April 9th starting at 5pm. [won't technically be many DC folks but that doesn't matter, you are still welcome.]

I will be running a 10k in the morning nearby (http://www.allertonraces.com/) -- if you are interested in participating in that as well i'd be happy to give you a lift from my house.

There will be food and snacks.  Message me for directions.

He's talking about a post from a person who was banned, and the posts deleted (and are hence missing now).
Tip: If someone posts spam, you can bet they are going to be banned and deleted, usually within minutes, so not much point in replying to them, just wave bye-bye from the other end of your screen

Screenshot Captor / Re: Quick Capture Bar disapears Windows 10

« Last post by mouser on March 28, 2016, 06:31 AM »

Thank you for the nice comments!

When you say the Quick Capture Bar disappears, can you clarify?

It is made to sometimes slide out of the way.  Have you tried moving the mouse to where it should be and see if it pops back into view?  Perhaps try minimizing other windows first so nothing could be blocking it.

Do you have a multiple-monitors or otherwise change resolution of the screen that might be triggering it?

Just trying to get a handle on what might be happening...

As you come to rely on CHS, I hope you treat your CHS data as you do any important data, and include it in your regular backup schedule -- both the current database and the versioned backup files that CHS makes automatically.

Sending some donationcredits -- and I suggest other sWeather users do the same to show some appreciation for such a fast non-trivial fix -- it doesn't get any better than that.
