^ Right, so if in your testing it isn't fixed with the recent updates it will need to be a mod hack, which is then passed to developers.

I'll let you know. Thank you for responding to this issue :)

Actually, I've ignored a lot of people, and it still happens to me. I just stopped using the forums so much.

Really? Last time I did that I nearly got fired of ignoring a female. She said I was a sexist ###### who believed she shouldn't work in IT. I do believe she shouldn't work in IT. But I'm not sexist at all. I love boobs too much.

 

Anyways...

Laugh all you want. She's caused so many outages but she won't be fired because she's a female. There's an unspoken quota.

The slightly sexist undertones in the post made me laugh, as in I found it a little comical,

(maybe I'm reading between the lines, I meant no offence by it)

Sadly, my in my testing I still have the same issue in Streams.

None taken bro. It takes a lot to actually offend me.

 

No, she just doesn't have the mindset of a computer tech. She doesn't think outside the box. Here's an example. Last week, we had a server producing bad packets, and it was flapping horribly. She replaced the cables and sfp. Closed the ticket. It was still happening. So, she replaced those again, and the NIC card. Closed the ticket. The requester shut the server down, and cut an Emergency ticket the next morning. Want to know what the problem was? Bad riser card. It wasn't fully seated when someone made previous repairs to it. She did the generic steps. That's my problem with most females in the IT industry, then there are women like our primary Network Engineer. She puts the fear of God into men under her. She joins the chat, everyone shuts up.

 

Anyways, we're a bit off topic now.

 

I can confirm adrynalyne's problem still exists. I blocked someone today, just for testing purposes.

Seems like ignoring people isn't implemented in the activity streams, so technically not a bug ;)

 

I'll put in a request to Invision to see if they can implement it, and if it looks like it's going to take them ages, we'll have a look at doing it ourselves.

What a terrible oversight on their part.

    • Hello, Given the reports of Chinese Mini PCs shipping with malware, I would recommend wiping the machine and performing a clean install of Windows on it before use.  From what I can infer from the reports, the Mini PCs that shipped with malware were not the result of targeted purposeful action on the part of the device manufacturers (which is something that has happened with low-cost Android smartphones and TV boxes from China) but rather due to lax security in the manufacturing process.   Getting back to the subject at hand, there are a few steps you will want to go through before wiping the Mini PC: You can start preparing even before the Mini PC arrives.  Once you have ordered it and know the brand and model, go to the manufacturer's website and download all of the latest device drivers, BIOS (UEFI) firmware updates, machine-specific software (if any), and manuals.  Many Mini PC manufacturers do not do a lot of customization of their device drivers, just shipping whatever device drivers the the silicon vendors provide.  I still recommend downloading them, though, just in case there are some customizations or for initial install since those are the drivers you know the manufacturer validated for the Mini PC.  Store these in a safe place, so you have them ready when the Mini PC arrives. Use Microsoft's Windows Media Creation Tool to create an installation USB.  You can also create a directory on installation USB--like C:\DRIVERS\ or whatnot--and store the extracted device drivers there in case you need them while or after installing Windows. Once the Mini PC arrives, and you have your Windows installation USB available, you can proceed with wiping the PC and doing the clean install.  Here's how you do that, step-by-step: Check the computer and make sure you know how to boot it from a USB flash drive (may be a specific key you have to press when the computer is powered on, or a change to the BIOS (UEFI) firmware settings.  The PC may tell you what key combination you need to press to boot from another drive, or the manual for the PC may it. Plug the USB flash drive into the computer and power it up using the means to have it boot from the Windows install USB. Once the computer finishes booting, it should be at a Windows installation screen. Do not agree to any prompts, copyright licenses, or click on any buttons. Press the Shift + F10 keys together to open a Command Prompt. Run DISKPART to start the command-line disk partitioning utility. The command line prompt will change to DISKPART>. At the DISKPART> prompt, type LIST DISK to get the numbers of all drives installed in the system. Make a note of what number is assigned to what drive (if the Mini PC has more than one drive).  At the DISKPART> prompt, type SEL DISK n  where n is the number of the drive containing Windows. At the DISKPART> prompt, type CLEAN and this will erase the GPT/MBR code from the beginning of the drive. *WARNING:* After performing the clean operation, the drive now be blank/erased, and everything on it will be gone (all files, etc.).  You can exit DiskPart and just continue with the Windows installation as you normally would.  If needed, you can install the device drivers you put on the Windows install media to get your network connection up and running, and from there run Windows Update to get the operating system and device drivers up to date Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Why? Amazon has some great shows and Fallout was near perfect.
    • Both a game adaptation and it's on Amazon I'll set my hopes low
