I'm glad it fills a need. As has been said, this thread is rather old, and even at the time of it's inception, not everyone shared all the complaints listed. Nonetheless we have worked on those complaints as a team and hope to have corrected at least some of the reported issues.

I made you a new thread here: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...85#post1029085 as you revived a 5 year old thread.

Yeah....5 years is pretty old. It is always better to post your question as a new topic and not tack it on to the end of another thread, even if it is a similar topic...especially one as old as 5 years....that way you can get the specific attention you need. Liam was just helping you out by doing it for you.
Bistro is correct (Unusual eh? :p) I split that post away from an old thread so that it wouldn't get confusing, as someone else created the thread in 2001, and splitting your post into a new thread makes you the author, and makes it easier to reply to for others.:)
Liam
Besides that, computers 5 years old are bit different than todays, as you can see in the picture. So it may not be relevant to your question.

I started working in college as a computer operator (and then FORTRAN & BASIC programmer) on just such a machine. Actually, it was a GE 420 or something like that if I remember correctly.
But I think it was more than 5 years ago.
Thanks you guys....lessoned learned...:)
Oh, the email doesn't single out the age of the thread, it was Liam who did in his reply. Ok, I get it.
Hi Nix, BJ, old friends, et all others.
sorry to bump this...
I was still at page 6 of many when I read this, Nix.
the ads... them ads, and each page we're forced to click on expand to full width... that annoys me more than anything else.
some ads seem to still interfere with typing a message.
I mean, I am a slow typist, But I have seen tens of chars lag at times.
Yes, even today.
I once had ad blocking on for Vdr, for the newletters do bring me here time and again and I still occasionaly participate. But the adblockers are no longer used for they interfered elswhere... and VDr is not a fun experience for I do not like the ad distraction.
At the other hangout, I once said that we should be worried if membercount rose to huge numbers, for that would bring serious trouble.
I really think MOST forae run that risk.
And, we was not spared...
another note
I too tend to stay away from OT lounges, and would advise against them anywhere.
I am still in awe each time I see DrMDj participate.
he won't get a check, tho... Vinny is my brother, see.

reading all of it, I had to widen the forum each and every time, and I started to wonder if there was some option in the software that allowes members to have it wide during the entire session on VDr.
Glad to see there can still be fun, even in a serious topic.
No, sorry. The advertisers would pull their ads if we did that, and then the forum would be gone.
thanks
just recalled an old trick, and clicked printable version.
THat's ok if you don't intend to post
I'd rather have the site with the ads..... then no site at all..... just one Kat's opinion ;)
Hey JT, just wanted to say it's real nice seeing you posting again, hope you decide to hang around my friend. ;) BJ
