Thanks for the simple but effective idea. -

And you, I guess, can go and play with your favourite zombie . Or have a very good alternative: Off-Topic forum! -

And when I initially registered with Videohelp and had my first big and serious thread going about DL recording and layer break, hardly any of these "regulars" contributed to it. It was normal and generally unknown members who made it really useful to everybody. So that shows quite a bit about willingness of the "elite" to help new or ordinary members...
This site is great, but I'm afraid it's heading in the wrong direction because of local self-proclaimed royalty.
Whatever...
Back to topic. -

And right after your first rant a few posts ago, who do I see in the OT forum? Yes. Edmund Blackadder.
My advice to you, if you don't have anything constructive to add, don't say anything. Or, like tekkieman said, report it in the reports thread. The downside is that it will no doubt be answered by elitist board royalty. Sucks, don't it? :P -
Blackadder I'm sorry you feel that way. I tried your solution but I couldn't get it to work right. I don't have the patience to count pixels. I tried moving the mouse continuously over the thread but that requires I keep my hand on the mouse which I'd prefer not to do. (To all the OT regulars: STFU.)
Baldrick answered my question that there was nothing he could do on his end and Goober57 offered inventive tweaking solutions, so as far as I was concerned the issue was resolved. I didn't ignore your post, I just didn't have anything to say about it.
In all fairness, I did start this thread in the Off Topic forum where it stayed visible with "MOVED" in it's header so that's probably why some have taken certain liberties with it. I don't mind. Perhaps I should have started an entirely new thread here, and in fact, that's what I'll do in the future. My faux pas.
I will disagree with you however that there is an "elitism" going on around here. I myself am a newb (look at my post count) and have found that everyone here will go out of their way to help and be jovial and friendly to everyone, regardless of any imaginary status.
I'm sorry that your previous thread got little attention from those you call "regulars" but that doesn't mean you were brushed off. There is a small number of regulars with a big job to do, covering each and every single post every day on this site. And just because your questions were answered by unknown members doesn't make their expertise any less valuable.
It seems to me that you had a problem with how your particular thread was handled. You should have voiced your opinion there. Please don't bring your hostility to my thread.
And please don't take cheap shots at the zombie... I think he's sexy and I want him to stick around. -

I think you'll find that almost all of the regulars aren't doing DL or know too much about it in a practical sense, so if they don't know anything about it, what do you expect them to say ?
PS. There's always Doom9If in doubt, Google it. -
Shadowmistress - while you're here, I thought I'd let you know, that on two fairly identical machines, I have one that does the same as yours, and one that will stay up (I left it for 10 minutes) forever.
The difference between the two are that one is XP SP1 and the other SP2. The SP2 box stays forever. I see in your profile you use 98. I certainly wouldn't suggest upgrading your OS just for this, but I thought the observation was interesting at least.
Maybe some of the others who post in this thread might help confirm or obliterate this theory. -
Funny thing is....I know I had this up for over 10 minutes earlier. Now, it's back to 5 seconds. Damned if I can figure what the difference is. I did close my browser window for a while, so this is a different instance of the browser. Who knows!

If you Hold "ALT + Q" just as the box Pops up it will stay as long and you keep holding "ALT + Q"......

I have one single instance of IE running, viewing this forum of course. I also have Music Match running, listening to streaming radio (80's hits if you want to know). Finally, I have Mahjong Master running. It's this last app that interests me, for two reasons. First, it is a full screen app that forces 800x600 for the full screen window. If I alt-tab to anything else, I'm in standard 1024x768. Second, it initializes DirectX.
Some of you may no longer care about this, but for those that like to solve mysteries, I believe this is an important clue. Now, back to SM's group hug.... -
@tekkieman
I see you cant get this off your mind..LOL...It's driving me crazy to. -

[Applause. Shadowmistress steps to the podium. "I'd like to thank... oh never mind".]
Tekki, neither of those resolution settings are good for me since my video card can only handle 640x480. (Yeah, laugh it up). But I'm wondering now if it has something to do with the refresh settings. Maybe the majority of people getting the 5 second box are using windows default settings?
I have no clue what DirectX does, so have at it man. -
Xp ProSP2 - 6 seconds
Resolution 800x600
Refresh Rate 90Hz
For the record Edmund Blackadder, I have never used DL.
I mainly help out in the computer forums, because that is my specialty.
There is no elitism.
We assist in areas where we know what we are doing.
