    (hey fallow.. the attachment you had on the first post of this topic is gone.. I had some problems with the attachements and had to resort to a backup... it was a few days old so this was lost.. sorry, you may want to re attach this)

    -D

    It's alright, I don't think it's necessary...I think we all understand that we have a certain level of public image to maintain.  Off-topic and a little abstract, yes we tend to be at times, but we are a help forum first and foremost, and we would not want to scare off anybody looking for our help.

    my persoanl fav derivative is rotflmbfhao.

    Hey all,

    I realize that we have seen a lot of changes here at TMN.  But one thing we should not do is let it go.  Let's keep things clean here, so that we are not detracting from the appeal of this site to potential members. 

    Below is attached a picture.  The 3 topics show titles which are not totally appropriate.  I'm referring to "Ass" "Pissed" and "LMFAO".  Although we usually let swearing slide in the forum, it is not necessary to broadcast in the topic titles.  We are, first and foremost, a technical help forum.  Let's bring that back.

    The first time.

    Is that like "I approve of this message" in the political ads.  :lol:

    Yes, just like that.  I'm a very shallow person, you know that.  :shocked:

    When I first saw this thread I thought "First Time For What Now Ryan?"  :grin:

    Yeah, the title caught my attention too.  I found that it wasn't what I first thought....

    Another good thing to do is check out the same model from production years before and after the one you're looking at.  Find out what was changed, what worked, what didn't.  And check out some BMW forums for common issues with your model and year.

    Jewelz37, PM me your old screen name and I will see about getting that reactivated for you, if you want.

    Have you performed a traceroute?  This ICMP test will indicate if there is a line, hardware, or network issue.

    Also, make sure that your PC is free of spyware and virus infections.  This may seem obvious, but try some online scans for both just to be sure.

    BMW makes a good car. Of course, for its age, you can never know what you're getting. Be sure to take it for a nice drive before you decide. For me, that's how I decide whether I like a car or not.

    I agree with the consensus; you do have to restart your PC after using Cablenut, because it does make changes to your registry.  Your Windows registry is loaded when you start your desktop, and is not usually updated until you restart, so you must restart Windows in order to apply the changes to your registry.

    Worst Tech Support I've Ever Had

    So far as I can determine, Road Runner Web Mail is Adelphia's Web Mail with some Road Runner cosmetic changes. Currently, I can't access Road Runner using http://www.rr.com/flash. However, I can access Web Mail using http://webmail.adelphia.net/webedge/do/mail/folder/view. However after entering my user name and password, I get the following error message:

    There was a problem processing your last request. Please try again later.

    I contacted chat support a couple weeks ago and was told my issue is a known problem and would soon be fixed. Clearly, the problem remains, and a new one has been added. That is, I can't even access the Road Runner web page currently. Soon after TWC took over, I could access Road Runner and use Web Mail. :sad:

    The RR homepage relies heavily on the Flash plugin for your browser. Go to www.adobe.com and make sure that you have installed the newest version. Also try this utility to delete all of the sites stored in the cache of the Flash player: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

    I would recommend that you should study the exam objectives from the official CompTIA site.  [LINK]

    There are also a number of lines of study guides, which you can pick up or order in to your local bookstore.  I particularly like the Exam Cram and Exam Prep series.  You can also order these from Amazon.

    I need serious help with my media com 10 mb connection. It's running at 1.4 mbs

    I had that same problem, I got my internet cut off for like a month and when I returned to Comcast they gave me that modem, that Night I tested my speed and it was pathetic,  I was getting %7 of my advertised speed I took it back and got my old Motorola Sb520, and low and be hold the problem was solved, so my advice take it back and say my comp is having issues with this modem I would like a different one.

    we don't have the exact same model but both are RCA.

    I even made a topic about it.

    http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-16738

    my conclusion the RCA dcm modems suck.

    I haven't had a problem with my DCM425 in the year that I've had it.  Always on, always quick.

    Anyone else having issues with IE7?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have had a couple of issues recently with IE7 where certain web pages do not load properly or completely. Clear cache & cookies, no diff. Pull up FF and it loads. Seems to be choking on some ads, banners, embeds, etc. I didn't notice this until the most recent release, and it is only very few pages.

    I have also had a couple of issues with how it sets cookies, and how cookies affect pages loading properly.  Dump and reload cookies, issue resolved.  They just seem to be getting corrupted.

    That's lookin pretty sexy right there. You lost a little on download, but gained a lot on upload. I would remember that file/setting, and tinker with a couple of others to see if you can find your optimal setting.
