If you were trying to show off a build or ask for advice on some hardware, you'll need to upload the photo somewhere else or try a different link. I'm standing by if you actually want to discuss something.

Is that power supply just playing Grand Theft Auto?
Sticker? Or maybe just some residue left behind... I can't tell from this angle.

I actually went as far as disabling the power LEDs on my Cooler Master case. They were driving me crazy while I was playing Call of Duty.

And this guy... man, what a disaster. I honestly don't know how he can play anything seriously when that lighting is practically blinding you.

It’s basically a full-on light show, like we’re straight up in a nightclub.

You could always just rig up some flashing lights or something to get that whole holiday vibe going.

The only real downside to those neon lights is that they just don't last very long.
Mine were running fine for a few months—can't tell you exactly how long, though.

How do I set them up to blink? I’m assuming not every single one is capable of doing that.
I used to have some red neon lights, but for the most part, they just sat there glowing.

I think Nero Burning ROM 2010 is decent enough, but I’m sticking with my trusty old Nero. At this point, it’s just pure muscle memory. 😁
btw, how much disk space does the full version of ABS actually eat up?

Nick can be changed if it’s purely for aesthetic reasons.

From a simple server error straight into binary logic 😁
What's next? 🍿

Kate Castillo55 said:I don't want to clutter things up by starting a whole new thread, but I have a quick question... when I check out someone's profile, there's this section next to their info called "recommendations." What's the deal with that?

Basically, it happens when a new user signs up and enters your username during the registration process. It’s just a way for them to list who referred a friend (for example) to this forum.

But honestly, those recommendations don't really mean anything on this site.

Finally, a stretch where I can drive for a solid thirty minutes without some 5xx jerk cutting me off...

Don't forget about the 4xx crowd either, because they're just as likely to pull that crap.🤣

Joseph Allen71 said:which basically explains why they keep stripping features out of the current build.
It’s the same old story: they just want more money.
Even if we had version 3.8.3, it wouldn't mean much without a better—and obviously more expensive—service tier.
There's really no point in trying to cram everything into this 4.0.0 package.

Honestly, maybe skipping the 4.0.0 update altogether would be the move, because visually speaking, it’s a mess.😁
The whole version just looks washed out and dull.

Yeah, that’s definitely one of the valid reasons to skip an update 😁 BUT then again, there’s a flip side—newer versions usually come with those essential security patches 😁

Word on the street is that the new version of vBulletin (4.0.0) is dropping sometime next week, so maybe an update like that would finally get this Reddit stabilized.

I figured these would be everywhere, but I’ve checked a few local bookstores and they don't have them. Honestly, the staff just stared at me blankly (maybe because of my overly detailed description?), so I'm guessing they aren't exactly the target demographic there. Google keeps throwing nothing but wholesale distributors at me, Staples or Office Depot are way too far out of the way just to check stock, and nobody is responding to my emails... 😢

If anyone actually knows where I can find one, please let me know! 🙏

Edit: And roughly how much should I expect to pay? 😬

Check out Scholastic.
They definitely have stuff like that.

Kolas can be a real headache sometimes, haha 😁

It’s possible your laptop is just dealing with a weak signal, which makes loading a single page take forever—especially if you're trying to pull up something heavy with tons of images or external links.
I had a buddy back in the day running on a connection that was barely 0.16 Mbps, and I remember it would take him at least thirty seconds just to get a basic page to show up.

Usually, if someone can't open certain PDFs, it means they've been permabanned from that specific sub-forum, which blocks access to those files entirely.
I'm not sure if that's what's happening on your end, though.

casualharbor9 said:P.S.
On top of that, I'd suggest grabbing either "KLcodec505f" OR "Aca mega CoDecS pack"—you can find both for free easily enough. Just don't try to run them both at once!

From what I can tell, these are just codecs meant for DiVX files.

MP3 Rocket 5., Ares 2.0.9.3030, Morpheus, and Copernic agent are all decent enough, but if you're looking at LimeWire, honestly, the PRO version is the only one worth using.

@silvercrane3/">@@silvercrane3 - vdownloader works fine, but I've noticed there are fewer and fewer tracks available on YouTube lately, at least when you're hunting for the original versions.

Look, 🙂 honestly, all I need to do is toss the movie file and the subtitle file into the same folder, and it plays perfectly fine on my media player.
Sometimes that’s how I watch stuff on my Xbox, since my old DVD player doesn't have any support for DiVX formats.

Are you saying you think there's an actual bug with CoreAVC? I actually ended up downloading it myself recently because the K-Lite Codec Pack wasn't cutting it when I was trying to play some brrip movies. Honestly, it seems to be a lot lighter on my RAM than what I was using before, so it works fine for me.

Sometimes just doing a clean reinstall of the codec can fix things too.🙂

steeltiger5 said:How do I put someone on ignore?

Look at that blue bar at the top where you see the links for CNN, Medium, Marketing, etc. You’ll see an 'Options' link there. Click that, then follow this path: on the left side, look for 'Your Contact Panel' — 'Settings & Options' — 'Edit Ignore List'. Just type in the username of the person you want to block and hit 'Okay'.

If you already have people blocked, they'll show up right there in that same menu.

Amy Rivera66 said:I started a thread yesterday and I was planning on dropping a poll in there today, but when I head over to Thematic tools, the option to add a poll to this specific thread is nowhere to be found. Does anyone know why that's happening? 😕

When you’re starting a New Thread, if you look right below the main text box, you'll see the Additional Options—just click on "Post a Poll."
And you don't even have that option available on Thematic tool.
Look, since you started this thread yesterday, you can't go back and edit it anymore. That's just how it works—only the Moderator has that kind of control now.
Just shoot a DM to one of the Moderators for that specific subreddit and ask them if they can set up a poll on the topic for you.

Olivia Peterson3 said:How do I start a New Thread?

If you look at any individual subreddit, you'll see the "New Thread" option sitting right there on the left side, positioned both above and below the list of topics.
And when you start a New Thread, don't forget that you actually have to include a title for it.

As far as video playback goes, VLC Media Player works just fine.
How’s Windows Media Player 12 treating you on Windows 7?

@slyrider20 - Are you running into the same issues with HD and Blu-ray movies?
If you need better performance, there are other codec packs out there, like CoreAVC.
If you're going to grab one, I'd suggest getting it via a torrent; otherwise, you'll probably struggle to find an installation key.
