  1. If you didn't re enable it then your computer wouldn't be able to process tiffs. They will most likely bring out a fix in Decembers security release or sooner if they deem it important enough.
  2. Because it's not actually a fix and only a preventative. Microsoft has released one program to disable the codec and one to enable it. 51004 disables the codec and therefore enables the preventative measure. 51005 enables the codec and therefore opens up the risk of infection.
  3. We have a required post count of 20 to use the shoutbox. The shoutbox uses a caching system for the latest shouts so database calls are rarely made by individual users. Thanks for your comments though
  4. When I have recieved a list of the BF3 admins moving to BF4 I will adjust the website groups and permissions.as appropiate. If there are any new admins to be added it will be decided by the head admins and the seniors however I do not think that will be happening for BF4 just yet.
  5. Great glad it's all sorted
  6. When I saw this post it reminded me to set it back up. Should be done now although having internet issues so cannot confirm it is working. Mobile data connection only :/
  7. Nope I removed them. Simply paste a YouTube link (as plain text) into your post and it will parse it. same goes for xfire.
  8. Yeah I am not the creator, Sammy is. But I see nothing wrong with the redirect process, although being honest I would see nothing wrong with it if it moved any non-XI off of the server personally regardless of score or time played.
  9. The shoutbox requires a registered user to have 20 posts before they can shout, simply to prevent spammers.
  10. Would have never thought you were twins lol
  11. Congrats
  12. yep my name is not Duck.. but fair enough. Without the help from Tball I wouldn't have been able to get it sorted so Thanks Glad we now have a partially working Teamspeak at least
  13. Yes only XI members can get medals.
  14. There should be no need for a password except 'crappy' to get into the server. Join when I am online of message me on Xfire and I will setup your permissions.
  15. Thanks to Tball I have been able to work on the Teamspeak server today and make some headway into sorting our problems out. If you see anything wrong let me know. EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have added an XI member group that adds the XI logo besides someones name. Head admins can add people to this group. Do not add non-members to it.
  16. That is one big ass solar plant! and a very big picture lol Really quite impressive...
  17. Yeah I took the opportunity during the updates yesterday to overhaul the navigation between this site and the maps & mods site as well as hopefully fixing all of the email issues we have been having.
  18. It seems the record is broken whenever I take the site down for a period of time
  19. tapatalk is working fine for me. Make sure you are using the latest version however.
  20. Read the announcements..
  21. A process cannot run in the background unless it has been started. I think you will find that it is the Google Updater for chrome that is running in the background. Disabling the updater can be done to avoid this. Google Chrome does not collect data to sell as they use it for targeted advertising. Additionally they only can collect data that you opt-in to or that you supply them with. Google Chrome consists of two .exe files that are run, a data store in your Appdata and temp update files in your program files folder and program data folder. You are asking a browser to circumvent a web developers decision. We are the people decide what links open in new windows, new tabs or are directional. If they attempted to override what a web developer wanted it would be stupid.. which is what IE does with certain aspects of the website.
  22. Facebook's main income is advertising not data. They collect data yes; but more so they can direct adverts at you than for selling it. Additionally Facebook does not 'sell' information unless you have allowed it, they do however use it for the targeted adverts - the owners of the adverts never see the data. Governments can request data and if it is a lawful request then it is supplied - they cannot buy it. FB uses your personal data to generate personalized ads. That's the idea. For me it doesn't work. I liked Call Of Duty, Metro, and some other stuff on Facebook. All i get is ads from Vodafone and other mobile providers and many other crap I am NOT interested in. Instead of ads for FPS or at least game ads. Nothing. The algorhythm doesn't work. Google is not able to place personalized ads and FB fails too. It's a nice idea - if it works About the "lawful" reasons.. erm. The past weeks have shown that they don't need "lawful" reasons to sniff the internet traffic. NSA, GCHQ & co SAY they have. I still don't trust them... Targeted advertising will always have inaccuracies for the majority of people it works though which is why it generates billions in income for companies. You are confusing me saying that Facebook doesn't sell data to governments with something on an entirely different level and different subject. The original comment was that Facebook sold data to governments; I was responding to that - not addressing data security and governments.

  24. You have an active PBBan against your account and as such you will be unable to play on our servers whilst that is still active. (http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-ed043f58-vb317565.html) Appeal Denied.
