The custom badge colour idea is interesting but it may be too cumbersome. Most of the colours are already being used by the staff in their badges. Also, the remaining (potential) colours may not appeal to everyone.

I find it rude for people to say they'd prefer this, they'd prefer that or "i'd rather use the services for free" in a such a thread like this when the staff obviously work their butts off.

If you can't subscribe or have no intention to then what's the point in saying anything else? I know i'm not a subscriber, but I have been and I rarely visit here anymore.

It doesn't make me a hypocrit to be saying this though.

Quick question that I find amusing & confusing:

How could you have been a subscriber before when you only have one post & this is the post? :D

Well, I've decided to add myself to the list of subscribers. I must come here at least 10 times a day (this site keeps me sane at work), and it's almost as bad as my habit of checking Facebook.

That's good to hear! :) Good to see more and more people supporting Neowin too.

Neowin is strangely addictive, isn't it...

For reasons I'm not going to divulge I was upset with this site and its staff back in August, and told myself I'd stay away from it. Two months later I came back, posting actively, hanging out on the Neowin IRC server and even re-subscribed.

Why? Because it's still the best tech forum on the interwebtubes, and has a great community.

Yes, it is rather addicting in a sense. I like the community and how, for the most part, everyone gets along even during a debate, and whenever there's a question there are always at least 3 answers and supporting material. Neowin really is a great resource, and I figured that seeing as I come here so much (I have been lurking for a while before I decided to register) that I might as well pony up the little bit of change it took to register and help support the site.

This (Right click and save as) is a PSD I picked up from Neowin that I used as long as you have the font that matches the sig it should be ok in Photoshop.

If you don't have PS btw Rob does all the Sigs on here.

Enhanced Service & Blog

Apart from supporting Neowin financially we also offer extended services for members for a measly ?10 (or round about $12.50 USD)

This package allows you to start a blog, offers extended topic/post editing, flood control significantly shortened, boosts PM storage to 200 messages, raises the upload limit for attachments to 1mb, includes a support forum and your online status is updated with + in front of your name and a shiny badge to show you support Neowin.

There is also an extra forum tied to the package where Subscribers are invited to post topics we wouldn't allow on the public forums (although nothing illegal is welcome there, our forum rules still apply).Sign up here!b>

When you say 12.50$ is that a monthly fee or an annual one ??

Edit :Never Mind .. I found that out

How can I pay for the subscribtion though Since we don't have PAYPAL (They Blacklisted Lebanon on PAYPAL), do you have something like a bank account I can transfer the money to ??

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      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.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <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...
