happy birthday, have a good one

Well I reckon I'll try AVG an see how i get on and if i dont like it i'll try another. Edit: just found this compariaon http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ it compares all the top ones, AVG is fourth and Kaypersky and bitdefender are the best according to it

Just seen on another site that the chatbox is located at the bottom of the page inbetween the last section of the forum and who's online bit. It also showed at the bottom of each thread inbetween the last post and who's viewing it but that was instead of a quick reply so this would not be a good idea. But I must say it being at the bottom of the front page better as when you logg in you see forum and not chat. Anyone else think moving it to the bottom is a good idea??

Images no work

Looks like its between AVG and McAfee. I've always used McAfee but with that new secure site thing it doesn't always show all the pitures (well on Shars home PC). But it looks like I'll go with AVG and see how that goes. BTW that problem with Shars laptop is probably somethin to do with that laptop itself, think it needs to be sent off to HP.

The better half has that on here laptop but it seems to conflict with Vista and her Battery Charging Program thingy

Just a quick question whats best. McAfee, Norton or a freebie like AVG, avast etc?? What do you guys think??

I was on about the petrol ;)

That is a good idea, the only trouble is that if the chatbox is there the front page might be to messy if you get what I mean, I think it would be a good addition to the main site when its up and running and a good idea to put at the top of the mod section. and maybe the forum page if chat box goes (what i mean by that is we keep chatbox but you can only access it by the link). I just thought that a download stats thing might be good to see whats being downloaded the most. like on each download it says how many times its been downloaded etc. Sayin that it could be incorparated into your idea with a search facility so you can search by most downloaded, newest, oldest, highest rated (could have people rate downloads). Just a thought

Ever thought of buying in bulk and shipping it over to here and selling it off a rip off prices??

Nice motor, was gonna say how much does it drink but then I don't think petrol prices are a problem out there

I'm for and against this. Against mainly as its cheating and as kal said will kill trade, and the whole aspect of completing the game. For and the only reason is for people who have completed it and there data has corrupted or have moved from an xbox and does not want to complete the game again.

mmmm, new lambo = good, ka = meh, needed an update as it was 12yrs old and they have upped the trim spec like they have on the fiesta. new porka = meh, same car different badge, mini 4x4 = very bad, the person who penned it needs a good slap with a wet fish.

Ray Of Hope For Sun-Starved Scots By Sky News SkyNews - Monday, September 15 02:49 pm Scotland's poor health record could be directly linked to a lack of sunshine, an expert believes. Dr Oliver Gillie wants a national campaign to urge people to take a daily dose of vitamin D to help tackle the health problem. In a new study, the scientist and writer linked the "extreme" Scottish weather to vitamin D deficiency, which is caused by low exposure to sunlight. Medics have already established a lack of the vitamin as a factor in diseases such as cancer and heart disease, of which Scotland has some of the highest levels in Europe. In his study, Dr Gillie, a science researcher and writer, called for "urgent action" by the Scottish Government. He said: "Scotland has an extreme climate characterised by very little sunshine - it gets as little sunshine as some places in the Arctic Circle. "Its people have low levels of vitamin D because most vitamin D comes from the effect of sun on skin. Scots also have high levels of chronic illness - among the highest in the world. "But vitamin D has received little or no attention from policy-makers in Scotland. "This is a problem that can be solved if (there's) the political will to do it." Vitamin D supplements could be placed in foods such as bread, orange juice and milk, he adds. "In France they take megadoses. This is something that could be considered and included in guidelines." Scotland's chief medical officer, Dr Harry Burns, said: "The Scottish Government has already been considering the evidence on vitamin D and has already arranged a meeting of experts for later this year... to recommend what further action is required."

I think it was last week a load of scooby's spelt out his name on an airfield. Can't belive this was a year ago
