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 ??

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
