@Monogram It was yesterday, you got a day's reprieve!

Yeah, if I were on a mud then colours might be useful, but I tend to shut them off on games, because it always seems that people want to make the most eye-bleeding colours as comtitles as possible. Plus if I want colour I just make an event to highlight my name, or a channel so it stands out.

Mostly the comtitles though. Generally what other people think as pretty colours I find obnoxious. So I don't miss 256 colours in other clients, really.

@krmbm said in Issues with SimpleMu:

Change it to AutoConnect=0 and cross your fingers.

Checked the folder and it was already set to 0. Thanks though!

ETA but apparently that worked too.

@surreality

You're old? I was there when Jaded Gamer's original shitty, non-forum'ed webpage went up.

Ditto, it's what got me on to MU*s. I had previously been playing on Talkers and using Zmud to connect. Actually, I think found SimpleMu around that time too.

@krmbm Thanks, I will try that. I'm on a computer that it doesn't happen on, but I'll post when I can check it out.

@surreality I guess it's kind of getting a little cold for it too. Would you settle for some pie?

(God I feel old. Is this like... 3 WORAS back now? I think that's the last time you were mistaken for me? I think I had the same avatar then too. Now I want pie.)

Well I have a legit key and I'm cheap, so that's one thing. I paid for it and it still works so I use it. (And if anyone needs a key I'm more than happy to share, no extra viruses!) I like the spell checker as it happens in real time with the red squiggles since I tend to type fast, but I also type Canadian. Growing up I learned how to spell things both ways because US TV was all we had beside CBC and we didn't even get a Canadian Sesame Street until I was much older. So I sometimes say zee instead of zed, and the u's I put into words are jarring to me when I rp with someone who doesn't put the u's in. And I think logs just look nicer if everyone is spelling things the same way. So having it autocorrect as I types helps me. Also, I like the spawn windows and how they are used, especially when I'm staff and on eleventy billion different channels. I can make each channel have it's own tab, and I don't loose anything.

So for me that's it. I paid for it and it still works, and I like how it works. And change is bad. I RP so little now I don't want to have to learn something new, I want to RP.

Anyway, does anyone have a solution for @surreality??

I'm not @surreality but I guess if we go way back in time, I could throw a Cabana Boy at her. (If I feel old, then I'm taking some of you with me!)

Anyone using SimpleMu and Windows 10? I'm having an issue where even though none of my auto-connects are checked, I'm still auto-connecting. I've removed the name from it and am hoping I'll just get the welcome screen since I really don't want to delete the password.

It's fixable, but annoying. Anyone else have this happen?

I don't know how it was fixed, but I'll gladly take credit. Glad I could help.

Now if only I could sleep.

@magee101 Above mark all notifications, does it have things like Insomnia mentioned you in a post at all? And if so, is it a different colour than the other things (mine's lighter for unread and then goes normal forum colour once I click on it) you may have to scroll down or go to show all notifications to see it. If nothing is showing up (and at least this post should) I'm guessing it's the skin you are using.

Oh that! Sometimes I find you have to click the actual post that is announcing to make it stop.

Do you have the bookmark saved on your bar? (This has always happened with me on Chrome, except it'd not the whole red warning, but like a sliver of it.) Or is it sticking around somewhere else?

Mainly because we don't have a WTF links: Woman has to petition to keep her placenta. Because medical waste.

Stranger Things Kids sing Uptown Funk before the Emmys. She's got a good set of pipes on her.

That happens here all the time, since I live in a university town. So some guy will buy a puppy for his girlfriend for Christmas, and then they just abandon them when they go home for the summer.

It's partly my fault, since I didn't back up things as much as I should, but I don't know what's more frustrating; loosing nearly all of my writing and video stuff, or getting everything and putting it on a new computer.

Woman has vagina connected to colon.

I live in a basement, and yet there are cars and motorcycles that I can hear as they go past. Usually I can only hear the plow go by and that's more vibrations than anything. Either way if I can hear your car your muffler is probably too loud. Either you need it checked, or likely need to stop being cool, because you rev it so much and meant for that to happen.

Cow vs Helicopter.

Steam has (had recently) DA Origins on sale. Just be careful that if you buy it one place, and you want the DLC, you get them from the same place. So if you buy it on Origins and then next week steam has a DLC for $0.28 it won't work.
