So, you mean it seems, that once I ''activate'' it somehow, it'll just tunnel everything - meaning I'll "cap" it all in a day. I've "capped" it - IT has 'capped' it -- then what?
Well, and... Usually an extension, once installed (and 'turned on') plainly works by itself. Here you seem to mean, that one should ''register'' there first to '''activate''' it? So if I'm not ~registered~, the thing is just a decoration?
I downloaded it, it kinda installed itself here (no reboot required), icon appeared, items in menus...
In the icon menu though, there's only a ^screen^ to - as you say, log in or register.

blackbird71 last edited byIt's hard to tell with any certainty from the material I've read about it. To get it to work at all, you have to first register/create an account with WS which gives the product access to WS's servers thereafter, based on what I've read. The cap size depends on whether you give them your eMail address (or even pay for their service). As to what happens when you hit your cap, I don't know. Probably you'll be offered an option to raise the cap by doing whatever would be required to enter that category of service. Whether or not the product 'gracefully' gets out of the way (or how you manually move it out of the way) if you're at the cap limit, I again don't know.

Thanks, Bird.:)
Now I think I'll just keep it installed. For a rainy day.

Oh now, there's this tub.
Windows task manager.
In my XP, when I open it, in its third tab there are 5 screens in 4 sections - the upper right section called something like "CPU's Chronology", has 2 paired ones: so just now, watching a video (trying to) I got surprised they showed very different data... I can see neither captions nor any tooltips around them, so I wonder - what the heck are they for and what is the difference? -

Since I don't have an XP system at hand, I'll make the educated guess that the paired ones you see are displaying a chronological record of your CPU usage, and that you have a dual-core CPU in that computer (hence 2 'screens' in the pair). In that case, the cores tend to run mostly independently of each other in the processing each is doing, so their history will differ as it unfolds. In multi-core processors, the computing tasks are split up and assigned to different cores, then brought back together for what you see on-screen.

In Opera 36, when I open a mail service (logged in), I'm getting a bar asking "Allow blah-blah.com to open all email links?", with two buttons on the right -
AllowandDeny.
My question being: what happens if I choose one of them? Well, there is a "close" cross next to them there, so far I usually just close it, but it reappears anew with every loading and reloading page.I use more than 1 email service. And currently I choose never to remember my login...

It wasn't clear from your post, but is the bar appearing for each of the eMail services or just for one particular one? In any event, I'd be extremely careful about ever opening any link in an eMail, let alone all of them, even if only to see what happens. It's far too easy for a malicious 'bar' to open a custom malware link of its own choosing, whether it was actually in an eMail or not.

Each?
Both of my most used.Well, it seems I can take it that no harm will come if I deny. Links in the messages do work anyway; though it doesn't seem to appear crystal clear what the bar exactly wants, I won't remember logins anyway so there'll be no "one click" I guess.

zalex108 last edited byIf I'm not wrong, the bar message it's to use the mail service as a default mail every time you click an email address on any contact option on any website, not sure if then appears a another message to enable also desktop notifications on new mails once you accept.

What are those
notificationssome websites are always asking to send to me? It's usually in Firefox (more browsing), but I guess it might be elsewhere as well.
That was first!
A new task tab of the same program or application seems to have always appeared next to its other ones - regardless of the actual "timetable", right? Now in my Firefox, I'm having a new window task separated by a document one. Funny! Is it? :yikes:@davehawley
Well the 52esr offer appeared at last -- I had checked several times since - was nothing.
It didn't upgrade though yet. Maybe because of a browser crash. I seem to remember a similar incident with updating: as I remember, it updated next time... Ah! yes, I clicked the offer; but it seems the Fox couldn't handle itself: it seems to tend to crash after prolonged sessions.PS: I know it was in another thread, but I reckoned to do with one and the same post, especially for the thread is funny - and related to almost anything!
PS-PSSS: Yikes! The :yikes: smilie seems to have been stolen! O.O
Report to the authorities immediately!
I need NATO cruisers deployed AT ONCE! :chef: -

There's my thread "Internet Connection", but it got closed...
Should I open a new one or ask Leo to open that one back?
@leocgFor now, funny using Turbo.
The other day I "was" in another Russian city far-far away, now I happened to appear in Bahrain :beard:

Better open a new one and try to keep it active.
What's the matter with that "activeness" of yours?
There are threads that may be dormant for a while... The matter of the fact that we have on our hands is that there is no very good search to get them by other users. For that, one could make a Guide thread to guide others what we have in the Lounge, for instance.
I'll probably start a thread about threads and moderation in Feedback

Replying to old topics is not exactly something well seen in many forums since it usually only brings confusion, with people reviving discussions that should already be buried, solutions that don't work anymore being brought to the top and so on.
There use to be a somewhat universal rule for replying inn topics that says something like 'If the last reply is more than a week old, think twice before posting. If it is more than a month old, make sure that your reply is really relevant. And if the last reply is more than 3 months old, maybe it's better not to post.'
The times may not be those exactly but you can get the point.
There are threads that may be dormant for a while
Yep, but maybe not for so long. If a topic is inactive then it means that it's probably not needed anymore.
Also, in a tech forum it may be kinda unhelpful to keep old topics alive as the causes and solutions for problems may not be the same as now.

This is true, forum search system is far from being good.
Anyway, it's always better for the user to reply to a more recent topic or even create a new one than reviving an old discussion.

The term 'necro-posting' was created to describe users posting to ancient threads. Most often it occurs when the last previous post date was similar to the current date but a year or two prior. Sometimes it happens when a poster simply fails to note the posting dates involved in the thread. In any case, it generally seeds confusion for everyone involved, since the participants of the old thread have all moved on and, as @leocg notes, the subject or technical material relevance has usually gone stale. Another problem with old threads is that all too often, they grow so long as to be almost useless for a new-arriving user - way too much past material to read, with much of it outdated and irrelevant.
While there are exceptions, a truly legitimate long-running thread is a rarity. My own personal belief is that a forum should automatically close a thread (but leave it in place) after a 6-to-12-month dormant period. A new poster then would need to start a new thread in the current time space if he had a similar issue, though it would be fine to reference an older, closed thread.

- There's a difference between tech forums and the Lounge.
- I do not usually create one day topics. I see through to have it permanent. That's how they were meant.
Well, some of my old topics may contain some outdated OR incorrect information, OR I might regret my Engrish there*;)* Thus I won't defend such closing.
BUT - there are others that perfectly fine. Think of them as Immortals from clan McLounge*:P*

No, I think it means the Forums need a better search!
And that does include the tech forums this time!
