Yes. It was larger than the guidelines.

I bet that yellow image put you over the KB limit for sigs. It's 50KB total.

Not complaining, but I thought the rules said no flashing avatars or sigs.

If the avatar/signature is overly distracting, ie. bright flashing colors, animated sigs (i.e. GIF's/Flash)

I see a lot of these, so maybe that part of the rule has changed..if so, maybe it should be edited to reflect such change. I mean NO disrespect to any mods/admins or Neowin users. Just trying to clarify this.

Again, no disrespect meant here. but I think

is "bright flashing colors" if it isn't what is? Please danellis, don't take this personal.. it's nothing against you. I'm just trying to find where the line is. Granted I know you can disable all avatars and sigs, but I like seeing most of them. And it says, in that part that I quoted from the rules, "animated sigs", that's pretty cut and dry. Yet I see a lot that have moving text..and images in them, isn't that what animated means? Moving? I don't want to sit here and point them out. I only used danellis because Joel said it was (Y) . And I'm not questioning the Mods or Admins, just trying to make sure I understand what's allowed and what's not. :ninja:

lol don't worry about it I have a whole fanclub for my avatar :D. I personally don't see anything wrong with it because it's not overly distracting. If it is getting on too many peoples nerves though I'll remove it :p.

[offtopic]

You should have awards for the most annoying/interesting avatars and sigs.  You can have nominees and then a poll on who the winner is  :laugh:.

That is what the monthly avatar and signature threads are for. Although i agree we should have a contest. Doesnt have to be a prize but just you get your avie and sig shown off :)

yep well the monthly avatar and signature threads are really to show off your avatar and signature. I wouldn't mind not having a prize but it would be a good laugh :rofl:.

Think seizure-inducing Google ads. That's the idea.

LOL ok.. thanks for clearing that up. :D

Edit:

No, it doesn't bother me at all. Personally if one bothers me, I just block it. :D so don't worry about it. Guess I'm just playing devils advocate here.

So, Chad, since you removed my signature image as including text + image it was over 170 Pixels.

When will you be removing Stevens image?

At present his (Including image and text) is 196 Pixels high, exceeding the 170 pixels allowed. Picky? nah, you did it with me :/

Steven, this is not a dig at you at all, more of a Question to the staff as to why MINE was removed without notification, yet others are staying. If you can edit my signature then a PM is only 1 click and a few words away, come on, its not that hard. :rolleyes:

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
