Hotmail users report service issues linked to Outlook.com rollout
Hotmail users around the world are reporting problems trying to login to their webmail accounts.
A number of users have written on the Microsoft Community website that they are receiving the following error message: "Something went wrong and we cannot log you in right now. Try again later".
"Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now," and "We're updating your inbox, please try again in a few minutes".
In some cases, these people have been unable to access their inboxes for over a week.
Others have logged into their accounts and been greeted with an apparently empty inbox, giving rise to concerns that their emails have been lost or deleted.
Outlook.com is not to be confused with the Outlook email and calendaring PC application, nor with Outlook Web App, which gives Exchange users access to their accounts via a browser.

Google on Friday took the unusual step of issuing a security warning to users of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

system restore or refit drivers update my not work as the registry is missing & don't do a clean with 360amigo program less is best with registry cleaners.

Hi, I just used the 360amigo program and did a registry clean up and now when I play a streaming video there is no sound. My volume icon had disappeared at first too but came back when I rebooted; however the streaming audio is still an issue. The fix you posted here is for XP. Do you know of a fix for Windows 7? I really want to get this fixed and am also very disappointed that this program caused a lot more trouble then it did good.
How can I get the volume back on streaming video? Please help!

Sorry, this should work...

That link does not work! The page gives a 404 not found.

For those who ran this and now have no Sound (streaming sound, sound volume icon missing, etc.).

I had the same problem (and my sound volume icon disappeared as well). Win XP Pro Sp2 all hotfixes.

A fix that worked for me was at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_v.htm

Go down to Volume Control and run the edit: Restore Volume and Net Icon in the Notification Area (right click and save target as netvol.reg - if it adds a txt extension then rename to netvol.reg). Double click it and add it to your registry - this fixed the streaming sound for me. There are other suggestions also...

Hope that helps someone out there.

To the developer of 360Amigo Please fix this so that it does not happen I liked the programme except for this issue - thanks.

Thanks GOTD - Regards, Damian

Hi eross16,who are you saying thanks to?

teşekkürler:)

Well! This is a pleasant surprise and I'm smilein' from ear to ear!! :) I was busy and didn't have time to get here yesterday. I'd like to thank the following folks for imputing there two cents and ideas into this thread/subject up to this point;

BuBBy
Jucati
alexiussg
Keilaron
Archangel
Face
(The list is simply in order of each participating members first post to this thread copied from the opening comment through to this one. There is no meaning to the order outside that process.)

Face said;

Amazing what can be accomplished when you put a few good heads together!

Couldn't have summed it up better Face. While I'm at it, thanks for the compliment referring to initiating this thread/subject! ;)

pauloparra said;

This looks soo cool. You guys in this thread that suggested this changes were righ on the spot.

Thank you pauloparra!

Archangel said;

PS BigThunder1 isn't a "dude" ROTFLMAO

I'd rather be called a "Dude" than a "Dudette"! ...LOL

How right you are though referring to the dictionary definition of the term. ;) Although I can dress and fit in with the best of 'em if and when called for, I prefer to be layed back and comfortable like the country boy I was raised as. That said, you can call me 'Dude', ...just please don't call me late for dinner! :o

And last, but not least;

Thank you Slava and the GOTD team and staff members (the PTB) for following this conversation and implementing the ideas and fixes discussed and suggested here. The blue color choice with underline of URL links has greatly improved the look of the forum and will make links stand out and easier to search for when browsing, no doubt adding a more upbeat energetic atmosphere for all. Blue is an empowering color verses green which is a passive color, and I think portrays a stronger yet still lighthearted business look and feel to the site overall compared to it's previous look. The underlines increase link awareness for those with monitors that are improperly color calibrated as well (as Jucati suggested could be an issue for some). I also thank those that were responsible for fixing the 'blockquote' tag. The offset provides a much more professional looking form than simply (em)phasizing the text of an intended quote.

There's been a lot of accusations of ignorance and unawareness by the GOTD PTB in the forum and elsewhere. This thread should be a reference for all that this 'in fact' is not the case, and I'm sure will make all here realize and appreciate what you folks do here that much more. I personally feel privileged to have been a part of this topic and the resulting actions derived from it.

I'm sure I speak for all when I say ...THANK YOU! for allowing us to have a voice here at GOTD, ...and listening to it. :)

Thanks for your post pauloparra.

I second your approval - Kudos to the moderators for buffering, to the PTB for implimenting the change and to BigThunder1 for initiating this thread! Amazing what can be accomplished when you put a few good heads together!

Oh man,

This looks soo cool. You guys in this thread that suggested this changes were righ on the spot. Kudos to the moderators for listening and asking the PTB. Kudos as well to the PTB for listening.

Thanks,

-Mario

@Face........Well now I know your not the Ex. She wouldn't put up half of anything unless it was her best friends husband!! Then she gave him all!! LOL Also she wouldn't have worded the reply the way you did either...............

Thanks for being nice and keeping a good humor.

Archangel

PS BigThunder1 isn't a "dude" ROTFLMAO

Keilaron:

Appreciate your input. Another step forward in the war to banish the blinks!

Everyone:

Get a load of the NEW BLUE - I think it looks spiffy - It must be Christmas!
(or could it be just a continuation of BuBBy's Birthday Bash? Way to go PTB - we love ya!

That... was an interesting thread.
By the way, Firefox users can easily stamp out the effects of the blink tag no matter where it is - just open your userContent.css file (various places have instructions or even add-ons for this) and add this line:
blink { text-decoration: none !important; }
And the dirt... is goooone~.
*cough*
By the way, similar applies for marquee:

marquee {
   -moz-binding : none !important;
   display : block;
   height : auto !important;
}

Now Angel,

You know all that was ironed out in the divorce papers we both signed - I put up half the money when our dear daughter originally purchased that car and you agreed to pay for her insurance.

So dont't try to squirm out of it now, honey - a deal is a deal, my former love.

Face

P.S. I'm glad to see that you're making some new friends here - now ya'll take care!

Gentlemen, I think we've all made some valid points here. There's an underlying atmosphere about this site that needs attention by the PTB in some form and I think this thread as well as many others are a perfect example of the tension that exists, created by a lack of response to some issues that shouldn't have been ignored (or at least left with that impression), and what appears to be a biased and unfair practice of moderation on the main page. The main page comment area is what should be "tightly controlled" by the admin to maintain an air of professionalism because it is the first impression one gets when visiting this site for the first time. With all the petty personal comments and randomly poor filtering of such, this leaves a bad first impression and comes off more often than not as though it is a romper room daycare rather than a professionally managed feedback forum/commentary for what's being offered.

The 'Morpheus Photo disaster' I agree was the straw that broke the camels back and escalated an already compounding atmosphere of aggravation that is a combination of my above point and lack of the "tight control" Face referred to. This IMO is where the problem started. By filtering out petty irrelevant commentation to begin with, and admins direct or indirect (through the moderators) response to real issues and concerns, that air of professionalism would have flowed over into these forums and as nature would have it, the petty whiners etc. would have been left behind or eventually filtered out through ignoring them.

Face, there have been so many here that have taken the 'sit back' 'it's free' 'don't complain' attitude/approach that I put you in this same category when first reading your post.

You stated:
I think there are enough instances of rude responses, personal insults and off-topic ramblings, which result in misunderstandings and hurt feelings to justify the absence of actual input from the PTB until we, the members of this community, begin to excercise the level of restraint and self-control necessary to participate here as mature adults. (I submit, for comparison, recent postings here: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=174636) While I agree that postings here in the forums are a huge improvement over what goes on in the site comments, I think we have a way to go, before we can expect that level of participation.

Since you addressed that post to me personally, I took it as such. Your statement referenced directly above here is what set me off in combination with your following comment/example-thread and was viewed as a personal attack since your overall comment was addressed to me in reference to my posted statement at the bottom of page one to this thread. You furthered that insult with your follow up post and the hypothetical sample thread you posed as an example to your point before I had a chance to respond to your address. I understand the point you were trying to make overall, yet you must understand your initial address to me made it personal. Outside that, I think we're all basically on the same page. And if you consider my opening comment related to the main page and it's moderation management, I think you'll see why these issues and complaints are such to begin with. They have come to be as a direct result of this management practice, and all have become weary of this. Myself included.

The lack of communication and poor main page moderation practices have created an atmosphere of rampant and uncontrolled professionalism, which as such, has been brought on by the PTB and their seeming lack of response to the numerous complaints registered in those regards and not taking a firmer stance to the front door and it's impression on new as well as old members/visitors. We are all guilty of complaining at various times here as our patience runs thin with these issues and the desire to see this site bloom into what I think we all want, ...and that is a well organized and professional operation we can all feel proud to be a part of. Not a babysitting romper room of dissent and degradation that is the impression one is left with here after very little time invested looking over things and responses, or lack thereof.

Archangle made a good point when he said " This thread is a perfect example that we are not all children with tempers and can work things out ourselves. " . This is because those that are 'children with tempers' are only interested in their own personal wants and desires, and therefor don't venture into threads/discussions of this nature related to the site itself with the desire to smooth and improve for the betterment of all, unlike those of us here now.

I rest my case and hope you understand how and why things got a little heated and personal here. I have nothing against you or anyone here personally, and I think we're all big enough to move on with an understanding of what happened and why. So again, I accept your apology for what came off as a personal attack by addressing your comment(s) to me directly, and again offer you a handshake and a wave so we can move on to bigger and better things and set an example to others less tempered.

Regards...

Thanks for your reply also Face. I feel that the admins failure to respond to that situation compound on all the rest. Like a snowball that starts rolling down a hill. The farther it goes, the bigger it gets.

hehehehe We (you and I) wasn't on the same page either LOL. This thread is a perfect example that we are not all children with tempers and can work things out ourselves. In fact, I'm very impressed with the knowledge of alot of members that post in this forum. They are from all walks of life but have a common interest and goal. I can even tell by phrases and the way you post that you are no stranger to forums. I've noticed it also with some of the others too.

I do have one problem with you though and it concerns your username. That was a nickname that I gave my first wife! LOL Now if your female, I know who you are and next time you can pay the daughters auto insurance (she's 27). ROTFLMAO

Take care everyone,
Archangel

Archangel:

Thanks for your latest reply; I'm glad that you, BuBBy and the others I've heard from appreciate the obvious humor in some of my contributions to this forum!

Thanks, also, for the clarification provided in your most recent post:

"What made alot of members "ticked" was the fact of the Morpheus Photo whatever "extra goodies* that were included."

My comments on the 'lack of participation' by the PTB pertained only to threads such as this, which addressed the problems of "... Posted LINK Color and HTML Tag issues," and continued over several days. As noted earlier in this thread, many administrators or staff of other sites tightly control the flow of discussions in their forums, whereas here, contributers are given substantial freedom in what and how they post, which I, personally, greatly appreciate. Another way to interpret the lack of participation by the PTB could be that they acknowledge our ability to make our desires known without the need for constant supervision and postings from administrators. So they monitor the discussions, let us have our say, consider input from the moderators (Thanks Lee and BuBBy)and make what changes they deem appropriate, in response. What more do we really need?

As for the Morpheus Photo disaster - I wholeheartedly agree with you that some sort of response, in the form of an explanation, acknowledgement of responsiblity or apology by administrators here and/or representatives of the software company would have been appreciated by visitors to this site, whether they had been directly affected or not. In choosing not to reply, they must accept the ultimate consequences of their silence.

The troops arrrrrre restless! ...LOL Whatta ya gonna do? I wonder if the PTB own stock in any major headache pill suppliers! Think I'll hang around just to see what's gonna happen next. ;)

I'm not that much of a buffer.

When the shells start firing overhead... I duck.

This is actually reflecting on another thread titled as "Blame".

First I'd like to say that even though there has been exchanges in ideas and even jousts, this is very healthy. Several members took things for the way they were typed. If a moderator had simply "Closed" the thread, there may have been completely incorrect feelings between members. Fortunatly now everyone is completely straight on the matter.

In other threads I've been described as "snappy", "arogant" (hehehe I forget the rest) so even if you were insulting or including me in to ........why.........The PTB don't respond, it really doesn't matter. I know they come and read there very own forum and don't need BuBBy to forward request to them.

What made alot of members "ticked" was the fact of the Morpheus Photo whatever "extra goodies* that were included. (and don't think there wasn't malware there because I disassembled it myself). To Date, there hasn't been a response from the site owners. Since this site can't operate without having people come and download software wouldn't you think that a "I'm sorry, it got past us" would surfice? Thats the point Face. BuBBy shouldn't have had to be a buffer on that. Just a simple "I'm sorry folks" would have made the members happy.

Just another rambling from a rude, insulting, and rambling idiot. ROTFLMAO

Face's vote:

So here is my vote: Bright blue, with an underline the disappears under mouse hover.

My vote:

I'm in total agreement with Face's vote. However, I'd be just as pleased if the color remained green as is (I personally prefer blue) and contained the visual link underline that disappears upon mouse-over / hover as Face suggest. Seems we're all on the same page here with our desire. Let's hope the GOTD PTB will except and make change in this regard for all. I don't think this would be a difficult task or that we're asking too much.

@ Face:

Quote;
My intention was never to insult anyone, and if that is the way it was taken, I apologise to all. I was simply using humor to illustrate what might happen if the discussion were to include the PTB.

Apology accepted. Try to re-read your posts as though they were written by someone else and you were seeing them for the first time. There's absolutely no humor about them, and to the majority they are insulting in their implication. A handshake and a wave and we're on our way again. ;)

Regards...

As was evident earlier, you have totally misunderstood what I have said, if you believe this:

"...because you are adamant to make your point which, was to take a passive stance to all this and justify ignorance of the PTB relative to these discussions."

Neither my stance is passive, nor do I believe the PTB are ignorant of these discussions. I don't know where you got that idea. I was merely pointing out why they may choose not to particpate directly, which has been well illustrated. And thank you for your concern, but I have no wounds.

I agree, the best place for this to go - is back to the original discussion. So here is my vote: Bright blue, with an underline the disappears under mouse hover.

OK, obviously you can't or won't except the truth within these comments. Re-read the posts above and answer your own questions. I don't have interest in dragging this out because you are adamant to make your point which, was to take a passive stance to all this and justify ignorance of the PTB relative to these discussions. I will not further feed your ego with any more replies related to your and my comments above. This is being taken completely out of context and isn't the reason I started this thread in the first place. I simply responded to your comment (as have others here) and you refuse to let it go. As I stated earlier, I'm not going to get into a peeing contest which is exactly what your attempting to do to justify your self and comments. Enough said on the subject. Lick your wounds and let's get on with the original discussion this thread was started about to begin with.

Attempt? At what?

Anyone that can read will see your attempt, as well as understand why my reply was such.

BigThunder1:

Excuse me; I have twisted nothing and my words will speak for themselves, as will yours.

I think it might be better to return to the topic of this thread. I never intended any insult to anyone, and apologise again if my words were misunderstood.

Oh how interesting. You can take partial comments at random from my reply/post and twist them in an attempt to make your point. Your words here speak for themselves, and my comments reflect that. Get a grip indeed.
