Blindly. 22-24 with three and a but mins to go. My finger nails are shot...

Tom Croft. I love you!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Edge of seat indeed. Great effort by England to keep it score-free for the sin bin ten, but ten to go and 15-17. Eeeeek!

What a shame England have the ref to play against as well. What a complete twat. Mind you, par for the course for the man with a very French sounding name... Yelliw card my arse :(

England played out of their boots for the first twenty, have fallen asleep since then though. Second half just started, should be an edge of the seat job methinks.

See the comment from Sanjay, directly above your posting, which reveals all.

Not seeing them here at all, but the screenshot suggests they are of the IntelliTxt type which I thought DaniWeb had dumped yonks ago now.

Do you have graphical ads disabled under your control panel AD?

If you have a problem with a user because of a specific post or PM then you can use the flag bad post/PM facility to bring it to the attention of the admin and moderating teams. The flagging procedure allows you to compose a post explaining why you are reporting it.

If you want to report a user for some other reason, then you are welcome to PM me directly and I will look into your complaint personally...

Agreed about the sympathy or lack thereof. While downvoted posts are hardly something to get too upset about, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter after all, if it's someone deliberately harassing another member then it is a legitimate concern and one that TPTB should and would be interested in.

Dantin, do you know of anyone you have annoyed or got into a flame war with before the downvoting started? As an admin I cannot find out who downvoted you, as James has said that's something Dani may be able to do but I doubt it would be high on her todo list given the amount of work she's doing re-coding the site at present. I suspect I know who is behind it, however, but have no proof and therefore cannot take any action.

My advice, ignore them and they will (like all petulant children) simply go away.

Cracking game, could have gone either way, full credit to Wales for the win. Absolute Certs for the 6N and Grand Slam now I reckon.

England have, at last, come alive. Manu is the man, and Farrell is proving to be a pretty effective 10 after all. Great game all round...

Ireland v Italy tuning into a bit of a scrappy/crappy game. Can't see Ireland winning the 6N on this form...

I'm still trying to understand the logic myself. Hodgson was the obvious choice as Flood appears a little match rusty right now. I really rate Farrell, but not as a 10 and not in this game.

Yes :)

CLOSED - I think there have been quite enough obvious explanations added to this sig spam fest of a thread.

Wales showed the sort of determination, flair and spark that I think will lift them the 6N this year - but only in the second half, and the Scots being a man down for 20 minutes may have helped a tad. Which is a little worrying. Wales, like every other side at the moment, need to play a consistent 80 minutes of committed rugby.

They eithe play well in the first half then fall asleep in the second, or vice-versa. No challenge from the Johnson era then... :(

Always a sign of team past its prime when 'blame the ref' is used to excuse a piss-poor performance. As you say, the Oirish were pretty pants for much of the game. Defensively I reckon my 80 year old mum could have driven a zimmer frame through them with ease.

(and I have Irish Romany blood swimming strongly through my English veins, so it pains me to say as much)

I actually think that Italy could give England a very good run for their money, and may even win this one going on that abysmal display last weekend.

Wales should decimate the Scots, even without Davies(good decision to kick him out of the 6N I thought, they needed to be tough to stop others doing likewise).

Ireland and France will be the game of the weekend, as the Oirish are buggers after they've lost at home, especially when they feel an injustice has happened - the lack of a red for Davies and the yellow for Ferris.

And the winner is... Oh, I mean, done :)

I used to write for those 'web guide' magazines a decade or more ago. There even used to be some very successful 'yellow pages' style directories of websites published in book format that people happily paid rather a lot of money for.

That was then, now there is no need surely? Best is subjective, choice is plentiful, so just Go Google and compile your own lists.

There already is: look for the exclamation mark (!) inside a red triangle towards the top right.

As for kwasiy, dealt with - thanks :)

Bradley Davies should hang his head in shame, deserved a red - hope gets a ban for that. Not needed at all. Almost cost Wales the match as well....

Very deserved win though, Wales look unstoppable at the moment.

A couple of flaws with that argument:

1. Both ardav and myself are in the UK where nobody cares about the Super Bowl
2. I work for myself, and there's no water cooler in my office - just an espresso machine

:)

As for the Super Bowl, who wants to watch a bunch of girls in padded shirts flouncing around for a few hours. Seriously, what an overrated and boring game that is. I'd rather watch paint dry... ;) (runs and hides)

England stand no chance after that dire performance against an even more dire Scottish side yesterday.

Italy were their normal hard working and enthusiastic but ultimately pretty crap side, while France plodded on to the inevitable result.

I voted Wales, despite being English, as on their World Cup performance they looked like a side that could beat anyone else if they didn't have the assistance of a completely shite ref and, assuming Wales have not lost that edge, will be very hard to beat in the 6N.

And the most common way to ask for help with a VB6 problem is to ask in the, erm, oh I don't know, how about the VB6 forum?

Moving this thread now...

If you are not getting your newsletter via email then yell in the general direction of Dani and she can look into it in case you have somehow fallen off the distribution list.

To quote one Ardav (whoever that may be) back in 2010 (http://www.daniweb.com/community-center/daniweb-community-feedback/threads/275655) the newsletter archive is available online thusly:

You gotta supply a year-month for the date parameter in the querystring:

e.g. http://www.daniweb.com/newsletter/issue.php?date=2010-05

http://www.daniweb.com/newsletter/is...p?date=2010-05

@Ardav

The newsletters are still going out each month, complete with the Member of the Month interview/profile feature.

And how, exactly, would you suggest 'work the most' is measured? Time spent online, number of spammers banned, number of PMs read and replied to, yada yada yada.

Seriously, we've been down this road before with threads suggesting some kind of 'best mod' competition or vote and it always ends up the same way, concluding that it's not something that can be done in any meaningful way.

At the end of the day every single mod is an asset to DaniWeb whether they spend an hour a week here or many hours a day. They all devote as much time as they can, free of charge, to help keep the forums running smoothly.

As far as I am concerned they are all number one...

Yep, currently on -4 rep so unable to impact on anyone else's rep as a result

Yes. But problem fixed now...

Link deleted

Username now changed...

Tell us what you want to change it (provide a couple of alternatives in case your preferred name is already taken) and myself or Narue will change it for you when we get a few spare minutes from killing spammers.

Done

Preempted that now and edited name... :)

Sorry, DaniWeb does not deleted threads (old or new) which are not in breach of the rules.

France redeemed themselves and then some. Unlucky not to have won it, in my opinion.

Blimey. The French have started playing rugby at last. Good timing I guess...

Yes, I know I said I wasn't going to bother with the final but what can I say, I lied.

Go figure...

...what happened to Wales.

Looks like they had all the enthusiasm for the game sucked out of them by Rolland Prat last week if you ask me. Really didn't play with the same hunger and drive as they had during the rest of the tournament. Hardly surprising, who gives a shit if you come 3rd or 4th?

No problem with tries though :)

Go Shane!

It strikes me that what Wales need, after the number of misses in the semi and now the number of misses in the 'bronze' play-off, is someone who can teach them how to kick a ball consistently under pressure...

Please DO NOT ASK us about how to use a pirated and therefore illegal version of Windows. Read the rules before posting again.

Any further pleas for such help will be met with a 'keep it legal' infraction, two of which equal a six month ban on your account.

Crunchie has given you the correct answer: buy and install a legal copy of the OS.

This thread is now closed...

Usually it's F2 (sometimes F1 or ESC) during boot up. Something should appear on the screen saying something like 'Press F2 to enter Bios menu now'

I see the IRB gave Warburton a 3 week ban and said that Rolland Prat was 'absolutely correct' in his decision.

Remarkable.

And wrong...

If Rugby Union becomes all about directives at the expense of common sense, not to mention the spirit of the game itself, then maybe it's time I started supporting another sport.
