Maybe time to upgrade the forum, just to be safe?

vBulletin 3.8.4 PL1, 3.7.6 PL1 and 3.6.12 PL2 Released

vBulletin 3.8.4 PL1 / 3.7.6 PL1 / 3.6.12 PL2

An XSS flaw within the user profile page has recently been discovered. This could allow an attacker to carry out an action as a user or obtain access to a user's account. To resolve this issue, it has been necessary to release a patch level version of the active versions of vBulletin.

Best of luck guys, and try to get Jakub sober some time so he can race.

Still not being counted.

Laps are not being counted for D. Schulz - nfinity GT2.
LFS username is: arrow karts 8

A couple of errors regarding nfinity lineup in the tracker. A. Stratiev has no flag - should be Bulgaria. And B. Holmberg is from Sweden, not Finland.

I believe he's thinking about the jump list thing in win7.

Snow tyres already went on my car about a week ago. Not much snow on the ground, but it's rather cold so the ground freezes and it's slippery as hell. A bit early to put snow tyres on though, 2 years ago I didn't have to do it until late November.

Horrible noise when Passo speaks. Can he fix it?

HDD Regenerator. It can do wonders to hard drives with bad sectors on them.

*wink* *wink*

You can try SystemRescueCD.
Or Hiren's BootCD. It has a mini WinXP you can boot into.

they have one for jpeg -> dds already, what's one more going to hurt?

Some people actually prefer to have the original image in a lossless high quality format, and process it in an image editing software, rather than working with a crappy jpg image that is missing a lot of details.

I can't seem to get the !delete command to work, to delete a players stats. If I type !delete fzr <player> nothing happens.

A Sirius good job by Sracer as usual.

I am moving to Sweden in just under 2 years time if everything goes to plan. This thread is really regarding emigration in general..to anyone who has done it.

If that's you in your avatar, you will fit right in with them boys over there. :gt:
The girls are sexy though!

As you can see in the attached images, in the Online Racer Stats window it correctly shows you as offline, but in the Online Race Results window it shows you as online. No big deal really, just something I noticed.

Also noticed that on the Online Race Results page, it says people are online, even if they are not. Don't know if these bugs are related though.

Restricted FXO?

Thanks, I'll review it and make the changes if they make sense.

These instructions are for Vista, but the procedure should be the same for Win7.

do you think the innards of a laptop can withstand that kind of temperature? most motherboards give up when they reach 75-80. nvidia chipsets start giving problems when overheating.

True. Damn HP Pavilions with Nvidia GPU's!!

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

I had another look at the power profile I'm using, and it says 'Put the computer to sleep after' and the value is '30 mins'. I recall various problems with Windowses recovering from hibernate/sleep modes. How likely is it that sleep mode changed the CPU speed to minimum, but never changed back to full speed upon 'waking' or completely shutting down? Certainly sounds plausible imo.

Yep that could be the case.

I have a slider here that allows me to put the maximum speed back to 100%, but I don't want to do this until I'm sure none of the cooling components have failed..

I think it should be alright doing it. Anyways, computers these days have fail-safe mechanisms in case of overheating, so they either shut down or underclock themselves. If the fans are completely dead, you would notice it pretty fast.

You can usually see the fans spin, and hear them as they kick in and out or varying it's speed. The problem with notebooks, is that the air vents gets cluttered with dust and fibers, because people tend to leave them in their sofa, chair or something. So over time a layer of dust builds up blocking hot air from escaping. And as the cpu runs hotter and hotter, it clocks itself down to avoid overheating, essentially making it run slower and slower.

If it feels extremely hot when you hold your hand on the chassis around the mousepad area or underneath in the fan area, there could be a problem.

But 36C for each core should be fine, also indicating the fans are working. If it gets over 60C you have a problem. I've seen notebooks with temperatures well over 80C. You could literally fry an egg on them!

Ooookayy!

At least you learned something new today.

Hard to say what's caused it. Could be some sort of malfunctioning of the drive, or just one of those unfortunate things that can happen. You can try to use the repair option when booting from the Win7 DVD, and see if it can fix it.

All hard drives with partitions on them have a MBR. It holds the drives partition table info.

How does the disk look like in Win7's Disk Management? Is it totally empty, or listed as a RAW disk?
