What tool would I use to convert it to MP3, every tool I use on Vista seems to want to save it as wma.

Link: SUPER

Great free program I use to convert between video and audio formats.

In your case you would disable the video and change the audio to mp3 :)

And surely it isn't a good idea to have people posting responses into the topic.

Wouldn't it be fairer to simply set up an email address to submit entries to?

I mean if I had any creativity and spent time making a great submission then it just wouldn't feel right if someone viewed the topic and then ripped mine off, you know?

So you want a one minute audio file, with creativity and flair, based on what I would do, if the fantasy creature commonly referred to as a 'dragon', were a real life pet?

That's exactly it, in a week's time, we'll be picking the most creative entry from the bunch :)

Part of the idea here is that the community suggests little tweaks, learns off eachother and has a bit of a laugh. That's why you're allowed to submit as many as you want, just telling us which final one you want to be judged on.

However, if you really want to submit anonymously, PM me and I'll check it over with the staff to see if that's allowed.

Haha and SkyyPunk... if there was a Digg button just for your accent, I'd digg it.

I had the exact same feeling...

BTW, I am mostly french/spanish speaking and my english is not 'that good'... Will the accent make any difference in the judgement ? I guess I'll send my first shot in a few mins...

Edit: where is the 'attach' button ?

On originality...

Try not to worry too much about people stealing your ideas. As stated, we're judging it largely on originality, so if an entry steals ideas without adding anything new, it won't be looked upon ad favourably as the original.

On English...

As for English skills...largely unimportant so don't think for a second you'll be judged on accents. Apart from SkyyPunk who we're promoting to Admin here.

On submitting...

In the Attachments panel when you submit a post, select Browse... find your file, then select UPLOAD. Then submit your post as usual.

That's great then... :) I'll have my brother talk for me as he is a bit better... and my son too young :(

Anyway, I'm still unable to find the attach button ... am I short-sighted ?

i just clicked reply and i don't have it displaying in this forum section.

Rob/Other Devs: I think you will need to check the permissions for attachments in this section for regular users.

I'm glad to know I am not the only one short-sighted ... I think it is a permissions thingy...

Question: In case I submit more than one, is there a specific way to highlight the desired entry?

Just indicate in your post by saying something like 'Please judge this entry instead of my others in post 12, post 15 and post 55' etc.

There's nothing in the rules that says that you should only speak in English.

Ha I'm sitting at work laughing to myself with my headphones on. Love it guys, keep up the good work.

And Dogward - there's nothing in the rules that prevents you submitting an entry in any language, but the entertainment factor is likely to be lost on a predominantly English-speaking staff here if most of us can't understand it ;)

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
