I can recieve but not send. I've asked Jay about it and we came to the conclusion that it's something to do with my work firewall.

Dosen't make sense at all, because the PM services here at this forum are web-based, therefore uses the HTTP port (80), at most the SSL 443 port, or 8080 I don't know, but I don't think there's a security socket layer for these messages... So if you can see this forum you should be able to send PM messages as well. Perhaps your net has url-based filters? Could be the most logical explanation.\

By the way, changing subject drastically, I managed to make yet another pizza with the pizza stone, and this time it worked. I followed every single instruction on the box literally, and what the heck, it worked. I'm sure it would taste no different if I had used any other thing, but what the heck, at least I've used my pizza stone successfully. Took me months to find the God damn thing might as well use it, right?

All I know is I can't send PMs, can't post pictures, can't use emoticons or do anything else 'creative' to my posts like bold, italic etc, and I can't see the banner ads either. Luckily I can at least post but that's pretty much the extent of my OT capabilities.

I gotta get me one of these pizza stones. Or permanently borrow my mum's.

That makes no sense whatsoever. What happens when you click on the "picture" button? What if you use the bold and italic tags insetad of clicking on the buttons above the message text box? I belive the problem might be in your browser, being unable to open javascript or pop-up windows.

When I click on the picture button, nothing happens. The same when I hit 'reply' to a PM - nothing. It may well be my browser, but I can't do anything on this bloody work computer. I can't even change the screensaver. I'm surprised they let us change our own wallpaper.

So I suppose it's the browser itself, some features such as javascript and pop-up windows are disabled. I could help you enabling them or finding a solution for this, but I rather not, it could get you in trouble or something... You could go to your boss and tell him/her your productivity is decreasing since you cannot access originaltrilogy forum's full features. Explain how cool this website is and convince your boss to sign the petition. You'll either get what you want or lose your job in a hilarious way.

If you give me some suggestions as to how to enable them I will give it a go - I don't really care if I get in trouble because I'm such a badass , I just can't be bothered asking the I.T guys because they're dicks. But be warned, pretty much everything is locked out. When I go to internet options I can only access the general tab.

Highly addictive and fun game that you can play at work or school because you don't need to download anything or access and websites containing 'questionable' material.

The easiest way out would be installing FireFox, that could do the trick. Claim that FireFox is more efficient and less likely to transmit virus to the network since it's safer, not a bug-filled crap like IE. If you boss disagrees and force you to use IE, tell him you were just waiting for a lame excuse like that to go postal and wash that office's sin with blood. That should do the trick

What version did you ask about? I wonder because I tried to install Shit 1.4 but the office system was already way beyond that version. I checked the website and found Shit 2.1 had been released and that one worked well here. Its a constant battle to keep up with the Shit in my office!

I found that Crap 1.01 is much better than Shit 2.1, but it had some conflict with our PieceOfJunk hardware.

Does anyone play an instrument, write songs, play with a band, etc?

I know someone who does.
Fans are clingy complaining dipshits who will never be grateful for any concession you make. The moment you shut out their shrill tremulous voices the happier you'll be for it.

I used to play the flute. A long time ago. In a nearby galaxy though.

I play guitar, and me and my friend have been trying to start a band, but it hasn't really gotten off the ground yet.

That's cool Dayv. What's your main instrument? I play guitar, sing and write. I would love to play the piano but I've got too many hobbies as it is.

In the tradition of the Long Bridge club, a totally unrelated post: the president (ours) is coming to the place I work, to inaugurate some thing and to talk to someone. He is going to make a speech a few meters from where I am right now. I don't think I'll be able to SEE him, but if I do, I might ask for an autograph. Do you think he might autograph the CD case of my Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtrack I listen to while I work? Or maybe even my punch card or badge...

Yeah Ric, definitely go for it - although maybe getting something related to the visit signed might be nice.

I was also thinking of pulling a prank like pulling his pants to his ankles, but I don't wanna get fired.

I don;t have a punch card really, it's all done digitally, but I do print out my hours so I can keep a paper copy, I think it's safe to, specially when you work as a consultant as I do. So I would ask him to sign those.

I did have to work with a punch card on this other company I used to work. A 1950s style punch card thing.

Damn, a prank would be great. Maybe we can figure out something that you could do anonymously.

He passed down thought a corridor near where I am, I went there to see him, caught a glimpse of him for five seconds, he was greeting this woman in front of me. I'll try to see more of him later, I belive he'll make some sort of a speech or something. I was thinking of either pull his pants down or running naked, but I think the world don't need to see either me or the president without pants.

Well, it seems that ligtning ran in on this computer and screwed up the mother board. None of the USB ports or the ethernet ports are working, and the comptuer is running in a very unstable manner. The hard drive seems alright though. I hope it can be salvaged.
