Question for those on a partial ban in Feedback & Suggestions ·
That moment when you finally try to catch a few minutes of sleep after a 96-hour voluntary marathon shift, but your brain won't shut up. So, naturally, you double-check everything one last time just to be absolutely certain there isn't a single loose end left. 🙂

Larry Walker24 said:Can I get an answer here? 🙂

Of course it can. 🙂

Larry Walker24 said:I've been looking for ten years now. Nothing. Even my PDF didn't exist back when I took my partials...

The fact that you were handed a partial back then...Your PDF.It didn't even exist yet. It did. Only.
What’s on your mind? 'Connects.' With that, everything else was created later on.EurovisionThe subforum.:

At a specific point in time. Period. Not even you. 'Eurovision' You weren't there. Main subforum members - you. You haven't been around lately. member, a 'Eurovision' He hasn't posted yet. member.

Larry Walker24 said:I don't particularly care what your take on this is. (@William Cooper11) Downloaded the partial. 🙂 ...

Not a chance. 🙂

"If he's allowed to do it. (I fully endorse that decision.), Then why am I being singled out?"

That’s a far cry from being right.

Larry Walker24 said:It doesn't matter whether that PDF actually existed or not. You still failed the entire Corona assessment. Now they’ve updated it so you can finally access the skeptic PDF.

You earned your share because you were there, consistently posting. Exclusively. Something that belongs exclusively in the 'Eurovision' subforum, right?

Besides, the 'Eurovision' section was created strictly to keep the main board organized—specifically because of how serious things were globally at the time, making it easier to find actual, useful information regarding the coronavirus.

Larry Walker24 said:... it's partial; I can't see ANYTHING in that PDF. You see it, but I can't see the other PDF. That's the difference. I'm asking why you can see it and I can't...

Fine, fine. Fair enough 🙂 (noticing for the first time that you 'hardly ever complain').

U Windows Settings ('Windows' key + 'i' on your keyboard)
click 'System'
go to 'Power & Sleep'...

...under 'Sleep', set your inactivity timer (minutes; hours; never) for sleep mode.
Pick your time. If you're just listening to music, just turn off the monitor (assuming this isn't a laptop).

Regarding music playback, rendering, file conversion, and the like... you can usually prevent sleep mode within the settings of that specific active program—well, at least in most of them.

Issues shrinking a volume on Windows 10? in IT Support ·
wearymason4 said:My first run of Windows 10 was on an old-school 80GB IDE drive—I’d just upgraded from Windows 7 back then. After about two years of that, I cloned everything over to a 320GB SATA drive, split right down the middle.
Then, fast forward another two years, I picked up a 120GB Adata SSD and cloned my Windows 10 setup onto that. Here’s how things look currently:
https://ibb.co/Xkcr44Q

So, what's the move then? 🤷

"Windows 10 Now Requires a minimum of 32GB of storage space."

Maybe you and @Michelle Bennett5 should look into it.Carol Harris9 A 35 GB partition would have been plenty.
Just like how 35 gallons of gas might be plenty for some people—depending on their personal views and needs. Just an idea. Regarding,

Carol Harris9 said:I’m having a bit of trouble following your logic when you suggest, "Well, just create a new partition (set the size and format it)." How exactly am I supposed to go about creating one if the shrink volume feature isn't even working for me? If you wouldn't mind, could you please elaborate on that process? It would be a huge help.
By the way, is 80 GB really considered enough for Windows 10? My notes suggest that somewhere between 60 and 100 GB is the sweet spot for smooth, everyday operation.

It’s not that I can't explain it, but the reality is that (in your specific case /limited shrink capacity/) my "suggestion" is actually quite problematic. 🤣 🙈

Give me a break...

Why not just reinstall the OS if you're that determined to have two partitions?
Do some actual research first on how to partition a drive during an OS installation.

Just create a new partition—set your size and format it.

Besides, 240 GB isn't much room to be splitting up. And having only 80 GB on your C drive is cutting it close; you'll run out of space before you know it.

Try running a disk defrag, though I doubt you'll see much of an improvement.

'Size of available shrink space in MB: 121000' means you're stuck with 'only about' 121 GB of actual shrinkable space. There's some locked, unmovable file sitting right on that boundary holding everything up.

It's easier for a moderator to avoid posting than it is for a registered user to write one.

Furthermore, if someone has absolutely zero posts, they are practically guaranteed to face (copying the thread title now) Anonymity on the forum, a responsibility that lies solely with the individual user.

Debunking the "malicious intent" claims in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I'm starting this thread only because I don't see any other options that feel remotely "safe." Post deleted. Sanctions applied. Opportunities to explain myself, according to the moderator @Didi.Modesty BControversial statements.

Because if I don't respond to an @ like that...Modesty Unnecessary comment.
One might walk away with the impression that I actually agree with the moderator's perspective.
Exactly. As if I were.Because of that guy's comment.Caught red-handed with my fingers in the cookie jar. Honestly, I should probably just be grateful that things didn't go south, and that's purely thanks to the moderator's good mood this time around.

No one needs to reply or comment on this. In fact, that would be my preferred outcome.

My take on this. Here’s my take on the situation.:

Subject: Topic...Having technical issues on the site? Ask here.It is, just like the subforum.Reddit Help!', namijenjena Troubleshooting technical issues.It seems like you might have cut off your thought mid-sentence. What were you going to say? Which one is "responsible," and which one can solve this exclusively? Reddit Reddit.

If you have questions regarding other types of technical issues, check out the subforums under the "Technical Support" category.Information Technology.'.

So, this user on Reddit...@Didi I explained my issue in a way that made me sound like I was thinking, "..."size = 1The symbol indicates a large value—specifically because we're dealing with a number.1Use the largest font possible...

post #369 @Didi's post regarding the issue.:
@Didi The user said:The font size adjustment feature hasn't been working for a while now. For example, I try to set a specific part of my text to a smaller font size than the rest, but it just ignores the command and stays the same. Larger.Will this ever get fixed?
Looking at the code view, it’s clear that... Font size. It should have been '[size='1]' ...

post #373 My first response. Or help, I guess. Whatever you want to call it.:
coppersailor28 The user said:On Reddit. Just this one? "size=1What does that even mean? Smallest. Font. Font. Normal. It’s huge.The size? It’s irrelevant.

post #374 (@@Didi In response to that help I provided.:
@Didi The user said:Good morning. I just asked that same thing: why, in practice... Font 1. The font size is larger than usual. Let’s let @Modesty handle it. Sound good? 😉

post #376 My response to @Didi regarding her reply to me.:
coppersailor28 said:Morning.
I've been wide awake for quite some time now. Afternoon coffee. ☕

Just gave my answer on that:
"Practicality vs. aesthetics when it comes to fonts. Real-world application matters more than design trends. 'size=1" No. The font size is larger than normal."

That was already obvious from your very first post on this:
In the section cited above, there is...Larger.Written. lower case. I don't know. The rest of the text..

And you can see that same point clearly in this other post of yours regarding:
In the quote above, there is...Font 1.Written. I have nothing to add. Just letters. I don't care. The rest of the text..

How exactly would anyone go about solving this? Exclusively yours. "Problem"?

post #377 (@@Didi (Reply to my last post to her):
@Didi said:I have zero motivation to work today. Screenshot. I could upload screenshots to show you exactly what this "personal problem" looks like on my screen, but I have much more important things to do with my time. Later.

post #379 (@Modesty My last sentence in post #376 was unnecessary.:

If you think... Reddit I hold @Didi responsible for that.@Didi The issue is, even if he actually pulls it off.
So, naturally, I reached out to @Didi.Modesty B I'll keep posting right here in this thread—assuming it doesn't get locked or deleted before then. I’m prepared to offer a sincere apology for starting this thread.

That’s exactly what I just said:

It’s obvious here that the font size should have been 1.
...

On this forum (maybe just this one?) "size=1" denotes the smallest font size. A standard font is "size=2"
Higher values like 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 result in larger fonts:

One more time from the beginning!
The way you're acting, I can't tell what you want, nor why you're bringing the USA into this.

William Cooper11 said:Quick question. Can a moderator lift my ban from the COVID subforum so I can actually post on the Skeptics board?
Thanks!

William Cooper11 said:Anyone there?
We aren't the USA yet.

Here's the reality:

If you got banned during that first, "unfiltered" phase of COVID...
...and if the reason was strictly your "alternative" perspective...
...then you should be allowed to post on the newer, "alternative" section of that subforum.

But if you messed up in some other way, then too bad...

It isn't just a "quick question" anymore; you'll need to approach any request for reinstatement with much less casualness.
And you'll likely be waiting six months, a year, or even two years before that happens (assuming the virus is playing for keeps—rather than just messing with us)..

They’re just shooting themselves in the foot. It’s obvious this was nothing more than their own frustration boiling over.

It matters quite a bit. You picked the right direction.

Smart women don't dive into the depths of a problem; they stay on the surface. It's much harder to pinpoint which specific cave the issues are crawling out of that way. 👍

I go to my favorites, click on 'Reddit' like I always do, and the site loads... immediately giving me the creeps.
What is actually going on here? Some kind of glitch?
