Basically, after upgrading to Snow Leopard with an existing Guest account in Leopard, these users logged into their Guest accounts, then back into their normal accounts, only to find all of their data gone—none of their files were there,<br /> all preferences were reset, and all programs acted like they were being launched for the first time ever. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6534#post-67667 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:35:01 +0000 Terri218 67667@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I think my head just exploded. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6534#post-67666 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:14:25 +0000 Txnnok 67666@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I think it got me earlier today.

Have you tried re-booting these? Wen you turn the power off make sure you leave it for atlease 20 seconds to ensure any residual charge (usually stored in any capacitor on the modem and routers circuit boards) within the modem and router are dispersed.</p> <p>W.R. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6501#post-67441 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:03:04 +0000 Wanderer7 67441@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>This already happened to me 2 or 3 times:<br /> When trying to install a Giveaway I am getting following error:<br /> [quote]The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.<br /> I am still getting the &quot;Activation Successful&quot; message with the activation key.

In fact, WR can&#39;t moderate the GOTD, only the Games pages, if I remember correctly. Actually, there are precious few who can. Bubby is the only one I know of that regularly posts in the forums. The one or two others are GOTD staff. Bubby maybe the only one outside the staff who knows who can and can&#39;t, and he may or may not know how many or few of the staff Admins there even are. Obviously, these problems are related to the new system, and the admins may have to fix them on a case by case basis if they can&#39;t see any trends. :( I hope they can fix Whiterabbit&#39;s erratic problems. If HE can&#39;t post consistently, we&#39;re ALL in trouble. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6408#post-66755 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:22:25 +0000 notblocklox 66755@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><strong>Happy</strong>, LOL, for the male&quot;-ification&quot;. I sometimes have the same fate.</p> <p>Another wrong assumption is that mods of the forums can moderate the comments.<br /> If I could, believe me, the list of comments would be very short on certain days.(Especially the cliffhangers would be in great danger...)</p> <p>BuBBy (with others) is moderating the comments - but of course not 24/7. Several times he offered users to send him a PM when they have problems, and he several times could help.<br /> WR is moderating the games comments.</p> <p>By the way, <strong>aRenegade</strong>, I don&#39;t think it is appropriate, to tell somebody who is moderating in their free time s/he &quot;could do a little more&quot;. I&#39;m sure there are always others who could do it better - if they just would do anything. We don&#39;t do it for money, we don&#39;t do it for a medal or for hymns of praise, it&#39;s just to help other users.

By definition spam means, &quot;to post a message many times to a newsgroup, or an inappropriate message to multiple newsgroups.&quot; I don’t see anything that could be deemed inappropriate or unwanted about your posts.</p> <p>Notblocklox, the occasional drop is one thing, but HappyPerson has been having problems that I think go beyond the occasional drop. His or her comments are no more inappropriate than ashraf&#39;s. They both use the same format (i.e., good, bad, and conclusion) with the exception being HappyPerson doesn’t resort to cliffhanger summaries as a means of driving traffic to a personal web site. So, anyone who wants to promote their personal stuff should be allowed to do so; I believe the term is “equal opportunity”.</p> <p>Perhaps notblockox, since you are a moderator you could do a little more to check out the spam filter tags? And HappyPerson a question; who exactly have you emailed or pm’ed on the GOTD team to see what up with all this?</p> <p>&quot;The Truth Is Out There&quot; </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6408#post-66663 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:02:33 +0000 HappyPerson 66663@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well, I&#39;m happy to know I&#39;m in good company :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6408#post-66524 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:47:36 +0000 notblocklox 66524@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yep, that happened to me too. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6408#post-66512 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:14:46 +0000 HappyPerson 66512@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi GOTD Team,</p> <p>The ratings system (i.e., the seven evaluation categories) contain a glitch, whereby our ratings magically disappear into never never land, after we input our comments and click the &quot;submit button.&quot;</p> <p>Today, I provided ratings and comments for all 7 categories, clicked the submit button, and everything looked okay at first (i.e., it said there was one review, namely by me) -but when I later clicked on the review links, my comments completely disappeared into thin air, and the ratings categories incorrectly displayed zero (0) reviews for certain areas (not for all, just some).</p> <p>Others have also mentioned this before, so I hope GOTD is working on a fix soon.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Happy </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6227#post-64649 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:18:45 +0000 notblocklox 64649@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Jim, there is already a thread with this topic :<br /> <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6220">502 Server Error Message - Problem With Sept. 24, 2009 GOTD Site</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6227#post-64647 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:09:40 +0000 Jim0622 64647@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>502 Bad Gateway<br /> Niginx /0.5.33</p> <p>I have been getting this message after I log onto Giveawayoftheday.<br /> So Far I get it when I try download the new software or try to write a comment to the software.
