Leaderboard

Anything over 1 GB doesn't count - what does count in your case is time online when signed in (if you aren't signed in, your score won't go up) You do know that a ranking of 8978 is actually HIGHER than 9092 - don't you? It's your position in the listing and the lower the number, the higher your rank. The highest position is number 1 - your ranking means that there are 8977 people ahead of you (and a LOT more behind) The 'score' is the other figure which should increase - it's the number of points you have earned (to a maximum of 110 points per day)

How to add a screenshot to your post (simplified version) Hello to all, Here, I'll try to explain, in a very simple manner, the option of how to upload and include a screenshot in your post. Once we see the image that we wish to capture, press "Alt" and "Impr pant", at the same time. (That's the "Print Screen" key, on an English keyboard.) This will take an image of the active window and copy it to the Clipboard. Open a blank document in MSPaint and press "Ctrl" and "v" simultaneously. This will 'paste' said image from the Clipboard to your Paint document. (If MSPaint wants to resize the document, agree. ) If you wish to edit something in the image (for example, hide/smudge your IP, highlight something, crop the margins, etc.), now is the time to do so. Afterwards, under the "File" menu, press "Save as..." (choose a name for it) in .JPG format (this saves our bandwidth...), and place it wherever you like..., your Desktop, for example. When it's time for you to include your image in your post, simply follow the picture shown below: 1. Press 'Examine' and find the desired image in your computer. 2. Press ""Attach This File". Your image's file will appear, along with its corresponding size (3.). Note: Make sure that no individual file is larger than the maximum size allowed (shown in green), and that you do not exceed your personal global upload quota (shown in blue). 4. Once you have followed step 2., place and click your cursor where you want the image to appear, and press "Add to Post". Continue to finish your post and press "Preview Post" and/or "Post New Topic". It's that simple. :)

djphil, the "device not found" message doesn't need fixing. It's simply telling you that you are not connected through a UPnP-compatible router. Chances are good that you already knew that. BC gives this warning in situations that are completely inappropriate for any warning. Cyberia66, please don't jump into the middle of someone else's topic like this, unless you have the *identical* problem. Otherwise the answers get confused. It's also extremely rude. Start your own topic. Unfortunately, you've done all you're going to be able to do with that connection. You have been saved from yourself, though. Never, ever connect to the internet without a firewall. Have unsafe sex instead, you're statistically a little less likely to get an infection. But the same thing that's giving you problems, has preserved you -- namely the router's firewall. It kept you from getting infected just as it's blocking peer access to you. Unless you can convince the administrator to allow you a static IP address, and to forward a port through the firewall for you, all that you can do is operate in "no listen port" mode. That will be considerably slower than it would be otherwise. Chances are that whoever at the apartment has actual control of the router, will have no idea how to do this. They probably call in someone from HQ or a computer consultant, and pay him by the hour. You can ask, but chances of success are not good. So, live and learn. The value of an included internet connection in an apartment, especially if uncontrollable, is little or nothing. You'd be much better off getting your own ADSL connection. You very possibly can since it requires no wiring. Contact your local phone company to find out.
