    New laptop, windows 8, how to...

    I've just made an account to have a look. Once you're viewing the picture you're interested in, look at the right hand side, there should be a grey box that says "Links to embed this image". Click that and you should see what you're after.

    New laptop, windows 8, how to...

    I can only guess you used to have an addon that you don't have anymore. The approach should be the same - log into imageshack, select the link for the image, and paste into UKAPS. Could you give a few more details on the issue?

    New computer.....iMac?

    We're going to derail the thread if we keep this up :P. I'd argue that he's unlikely to be held back by moving to Apple, but it still leaves the hardware cost and potential software re-purchasing cost points in situ! I understand PC's, it's tanks I struggle with... Like the algae tank I have...

    New computer.....iMac?

    Exactly Paulo, I'm just concerned that Ady is being taken in by the looks rather than what is beneath! Not that any bloke has ever been led astray by physical attraction or anything :P.

    New computer.....iMac?

    Ok, to elaborate a bit on my first post... They do indeed look great, one thing that Apple do "par excellence" is styling - they've built an entire brand on it with the icon they created in the form of the first iPod, and they've kept that going ever since. I'm not sure where you have got the...

    Don't do it Ady!!! I'll post more in a bit when I don't have the cat helping me... I really wouldn't go the Mac route though.

    How to keep the Mrs happy

    Fair title, she might have been a little annoyed if you hadn't been thoughtful enough to put that cover on the floor!

    Did anyone get any good fish/plant related presents?

    Is there now going to be some sort of "derelict" overgrown scape from you then, featuring a slightly crooked and aging No Fishing sign casually left in as a centrepiece? It'll be a masterpiece of tastefulness, I'm sure ;)

    What other hobby's do you have?

    Computers/general technology, shooting, woodwork, electronics, general house DIY and hatching "schemes"... I'm also a full time carer for a lovely but utterly mentally deficient individual. (See avatar if you haven't got it yet...)

    Is there a scape just out of shot that you're admiring? ;) Good to see you're back safe and sound George, and thank you for your time out there.

    Blacklisted from tapatalk

    I used to have this problem all the time when I had a Blackberry, since swathes of their IP's were blocked. The only thing you can do really is to submit the forum for unblocking you (I've never had success with this), or renew your IP until you get one that isn't blocked.

    Congrats matey! What are your plans for next steps?

    Stopforumspam.com

    The alternative would be setting the stopforumspam.com plugin settings such that it applies the IP banning to new registrations, but not existing users. That means the board is protected, but members can still access it :). Security wins, members win!

    On my Blackberry I had huge problems with Tapatalk because it blacklists the Blackberry servers most of the time. Since moving to Android it works flawlessly. I'm not a big believer in IP blocking since any determined person will just refresh their address periodically, so all it does it hit the...

    Stopforumspam.com

    London, Not wanting to argue, more to put forwards a reasoned case :p... You can set things so that the IP applies to all registrations, but not for actual posting. This would allow existing users to post, whilst protecting against spam bots. The frustrating thing is that I can post just fine...

    Stopforumspam.com

    It's a huge issue for me - I can NEVER post from Tapatalk since most of the Blackberry servers are blacklisted. The admins on here CAN tell Tapa to ignore that database though if they want... ...which would be hugely appreciated.... :D (bats eyelashes)

    Bad luck? Only that they have singularly failed to put any good horror films on - it's Friday 13th for crying out loud!

    My first sight..

    Hoping to get my hands on some equipment at an auction at the end of the month. If I can't then I'll have to rethink, since I want to upgrade the filter in the Trigon too, and I can't afford to do it all with brand new equipment!

    Help buying laptop

    Depending on where he is in Africa (i.e. how dusty), something like a Dell E6320/E6420 could be right up his street since it's ruggedised to an extent - i.e. more resistant to dust ingress!

    Help buying laptop

    Hi George, A few things here that would be worth clarifying, since when people lay out exact specs but don't know enough to select a machine themselves, all sorts of alarm bells ring in my head as to whether they actually understand enough to realise what they are specifying. - Why 32bit only...

    Re: Wordpress Geaves, are you using any tutorials sites as a guide? There are some excellent resources out there, don't be afraid to Google specific questions!

    Wordpress - New Site

    Re: Wordpress Geaves, you should be able to create users with different permissions for different areas of the site. Global admin is NOT something you should need to hand out! Hope that helps.
