There’s really no need for the swearing or any of that nonsense.
The threads were locked because the titles didn't follow the Code of Conduct—basically, if the title doesn't match what you actually clicked on, it's insulting to the mods.

In every single sub-forum under the Mobile Telephony section, there's a massive pinned topic in all caps labeled USERS—just pay attention to how you title your threads.
And then, obviously, there's the Code of Conduct.

What is a moderator supposed to do if a user just decides to ignore all of that?
As for that "playing God" comment... honestly, I won't even dignify it. It's poorly phrased, and let me tell you, moderating is lightyears away from playing God. Seriously!

Yeah, sure. I haven't read the Code of Conduct. 🙄
My tone is the way it is because I don't buy for a second that two of my threads could just vanish without a single word from any mod... and what am I even supposed to think now?🤷
I think what you guys are doing isn't right☕ and I'm definitely not the only one who feels this way.☕
Just take my apology and let's move on.🙂
But seriously, I think you should actually give someone a reason when you delete their post.😉

(Cross-posted this from Reddit because I actually put it there first... sorry)

Can someone please just explain to me why?!
Since the mods won't bother explaining why they shut down my threads right there in the topic... I guess they’re out here playing God, despite having zero qualifications for the job☕
Both threads were about the iPhone 13.

In the first one, I was asking the "experts" here for some advice... only to end up on page 17 of a thread about that phone filled with such incredibly STUPID arguments that I couldn't learn a single thing about the device—and then some genius mod wipes my post... Apparently, they're just so damn smart they can read through all that garbage and figure everything out themselves☕

Then in the second one, I ask for an opinion comparing the 5130 and the iPhone 13, and I get deleted again?!?!
What the hell did I do wrong by saying "gentlemen"???
How am I supposed to word things so you guys can stay happy with your little egos?

What is the point of this freaking forum if we aren't allowed to discuss stuff???

Has anyone else posted a similar question where there was a massive debate going on that I somehow missed, or are you guys seriously just acting like you're God?

And look, if you're gonna ban me, at least have some decency and send me a DM.

Thanks

So, I’ve got this surgery scheduled for September, and I’m trying to wrap my head around the timeline—how long is this whole thing actually going to take? Just want to make sure I can get my ducks in a row at work... I’m heading into Mercy Hospital on Wednesday, the procedure is on Thursday... and since it's a routine operation, I'm wondering if I'll be heading home on Friday or if I should plan for Monday... if anyone happens to know, of course... also, what's the rehab situation looking like?

Thanks

So, this is what pops up when I run it through the command prompt—basically what that site is getting at...

EDIT:
But hey, that network stuff actually works, so no complaints there.👍

Thanks a ton! 😉

Catch ya this afternoon... though I gotta say, I'm pretty confused how you aren't an admin on this forum yet...🙄😁

Taylor Campbell4 said:So, you’ve disabled the keyboard and mouse from being able to wake it from sleep? Man, I remember seeing some page somewhere that listed every single thing that could trigger it—can't find the link right now though.

Got any other weird exotic gear hooked up to the rig, hardware-wise? Even though, honestly, you shouldn't have anything else... besides mice or keyboards.

If you're using sleep mode, go into advanced settings and kill hibernation. Then, hit the BIOS, look under hardware options, and disable everything that might be capable of waking it up from sleep.
Not to mention, I've read online that this stuff can be caused by anything from the motherboard down to the RAM, so... 🙄 I think you're gonna have to do a little digging.

Is it doing the same thing with both hibernation and sleep?

Maybe try changing the sleep state in the BIOS—you know, like S1, S3, maybe even S6 is an option.

Try heading down this path: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

Hah... thanks. Seriously. 👍
I'll give that a shot and let you know. 😉
But if I don't get to it today... worst case is tomorrow. 😉
BTW... I don't even use hibernation at all, 🤷 but I'll try that out and we'll see how it goes. 👍

Just realized (this is an edit...) that you linked me to sleep info for Windows Vista 🙄...
Was that just a slip-up or what...?

And... I don't have anything "exotic" left 😁 plugged into my PC (unless you count my Logitech X210 speakers as exotic).

Also, I found out that sleep in 7 is actually pretty buggy. ☕
Just type "7" instead of "Vista" in that search link... apparently everyone is having issues with sleep mode. 😉

Taylor Campbell4 said:It feels like there's some kind of massive communication breakdown happening here. I'm talking about the PC waking itself up from sleep mode—and honestly, it doesn't matter if you put it to sleep via the Start menu or by hitting a key on your keyboard. It's all the same.
Just try what I suggested and you'll see.

Man, whatever, dude... let's just move on to something else.🤷

Taylor Campbell4 said:Man, that was intense—I almost passed out right then and there. Sorry about that, my filter totally failed me for a second! 😁 ...before I actually managed to get that sorted out.

So, turns out the whole headache was just my ancient keyboard—which, get this, was acting up even though I’d specifically gone into the BIOS and made sure that option was disabled! Who would've thought, right?
Just woke my PC up from sleep mode.

Alright, here’s what you should try—it's a bit of a process, but bear with me. Head over to the Device Manager, then find your mouse and your keyboard (you've gotta do this separately for both, so yeah, two rounds of the same drill). Right-click on them, hit Properties, jump over to the Hardware tab, and just uncheck the setting that lets that specific device wake the computer from sleep mode. Give that a shot and see if it fixes things.
If that’s not the fix, then I guess we just move on—because honestly, I’ve been scouring the web and found about a hundred different things that could potentially cause this, if I’m being a little dramatic. In my case, it turned out to be an older keyboard acting up, but after swapping things around, everything is running perfectly now.

👍
I've got the Logitech Wave wireless desktop setup.
I just need to get those drivers installed up there—haven't actually gotten around to doing it yet. 🤷)
But man, this keeps happening even when I just hit a key on my keyboard—or even if I’m just clicking around through the Start menu! 😳
I’ll tackle this once I get home—we'll see how it goes... though honestly, I highly doubt it’s some weird driver issue with my keyboard or mouse, especially since it's acting up even before I hit start. 🤷

Noah Miller6 said:Right-click the desktop—hit Personalize—go to ScreenSaver—then click Change Power Settings—look over on the left side under "Choose what the power buttons do"—and check whatever you have selected under "When I press the sleep button."
If it isn't set to sleep, just switch it to that, and that should do the trick.

Yeah, I know 😉
Look, we already talked about this stuff earlier ☕
But honestly, it's not even a big deal 😠

Come on, guys, let's use our heads here 🙏

Justin Gray81 said:Why on earth 🤷 😕 I'm running a legit final RC ☕
Is anyone else dealing with this nonsense?
I have to shut it down manually every single time😠

Anyone recognize this "famous one who restarts" thing?👎

Basically, some absolute stupidity is going on 😳
It goes into sleep mode for like five seconds and then—boom—restarts😲
Everything shuts down perfectly fine, and then after five seconds... bam! There it is again...

Help me out here 🙏🙏🙏

Why 🤷 😕 I've got this legit final RC ☕
Is anyone else dealing with this nonsense?
I literally have to shut it down every single time 😠

Does anyone recognize the famous one who restarts👎

Jeffrey Harris92 said:Look, he might grab you the drivers, but he isn't giving you the full sound card software suite. That's exactly what happened to me—so if you still have the disc lying around, just install it from there.

I've got it. I'm on it. Thanks. 😉👍

Alright, figured I’d jump in here with the rest of you Windows 7 "owners" 🙂
Everything is pretty much perfect—honestly, I'm stoked (running the RC with an official key🙂, huge shoutout to the forum member who helped me score that
). There's just this one tiny thing that's driving me nuts and I can't for the life of me figure out... I went ahead and downloaded the Realtek Audio Driver myself, but now it's nowhere to be found in the Control Panel, and I can't track it down anywhere else😕
The little icon shows up in the notification area... but clicking it does absolutely nothing. Double-clicking won't even open the settings, so I can't mess with the equalizer or anything😕
Is there some kind of fix for this, or am I just out of luck...?

It’s actually kind of a big deal here—my sister-in-law is flying out to the States in just a couple of days and her one big wish is to track down these specific sweatpants 😍

So, seriously, if anyone out there knows where I can find them, please hit me up 🙂

Thanks much

PLEASE.... I’ve still got a tiny bit of breathing room left before she flies out.🙏🙏

So, I pulled my left groin during a soccer match about a week ago, and I'm fully aware that "resting it" is supposedly the only way to fix this mess...
But here’s the thing—I’m dying to know if hitting the road on my bike is actually doable, or if that’s just asking for trouble (and let's be real, probably not a smart move)? Is it better to just sit tight and wait for the pain to chill out a bit—or maybe disappear entirely?
The weather is absolutely gorgeous right now, and the forecast says it's staying that way, so I am seriously tempted to grab my bike and just go 😍...but then again, I really don't want to screw myself over. I'm planning on getting back on the pitch as soon as possible, and I definitely don't want to turn a minor tweak into a long-term disaster🙄

Signature👍

It’s not about what you think... honestly, the software is just straight-up awesome😉

What if you just headed OVER there...☕

thanks👍

So, whenever I’m trying to dig into some random topic using the search bar—you know, when you're just deep-diving into something weird at 2 AM—how am I supposed to... www.forum.hrUgh, just got hit with that dreaded 403 Forbidden error—seriously, can we not? It’s like the internet just slammed the door right in my face. Anyone else dealing with this nonsense today?😕😕😕
So, I can browse everything just fine on the actual website, but whenever I try to hit up the forum, I get slapped with this error:

I mean, seriously? "Forbidden"? That’s just one word, but man, it carries some weight when you really sit with it for a second. It’s like that feeling you get when you see a "No Trespassing" sign on the edge of a massive ranch out in Texas—that weird, magnetic pull between knowing you shouldn't cross that line and wondering exactly what's waiting for you on the other side. Is it actually off-limits because it's dangerous, or is it just because someone, somewhere, decided they wanted to control things? I feel like half the stuff we crave in life is only interesting because we're told we can't have it. It’s that psychological itch, right? You know, like when you're driving down a highway in the Midwest and you see a shortcut that looks totally unofficial—your brain starts screaming "danger," but your gut is basically saying, "Hey, let's see where this goes." It makes you wonder about the rules we live by every day. Are they there to keep us safe, or are they just there to keep things predictable? Sometimes the most interesting parts of life happen right at the edge of what's allowed. Just a thought.
So, I’m trying to dig through some old threads—you know, doing that deep dive into tech history we all love—and I hit this massive wall. Seriously, just a giant, glaring "Access Denied" error staring me right in the face. It’s one of those classic, frustrating messages where the server basically tells you, "Yeah, I see you, but you're absolutely not coming in." It looks like whatever Google tool I was using to scrape some info about old Core 2 Duo processors just got shut down at the door. The error is super specific too—talking about client permissions and IP addresses and all that technical jargon—but the bottom line is pretty simple: the server isn't playing nice. It’s like showing up to a club in Chicago with a VIP pass only to have the bouncer tell you your name isn't on the list for no reason at all. Has anyone else run into this kind of roadblock lately when trying to pull data? Is it just a temporary glitch, or am I getting flagged for being a bit too curious? It's such a headache when you're right in the middle of a rabbit hole and suddenly everything just... stops.

Sorry for the hassle, but we just can't make this request happen.

What even is this?😕😕
And why on earth won't it let me browse? Seriously, what is even happening right now?😕
