Figure this out.
I've been reading the discussions at WORL for months now after finding out about it off you guys,right? Well I just headed over there again to look at some posts, and when I click onto their link, I get this message -

How the Fugg does that happen? Don't you have to be a member of a community to be given the boot? How on earth can I be banned when I've NEVER been a member there? FMD!
What can I do?

That certainly is interesting, Outlaw.
If, like you say (and I'm not doubting you), you have never been a member of WORL (or the Dragons forum as I now refer to it), then there is no reason for you to be banned/unable to access the boards. I don't understand it also.
Try logging out of your Hotmail account and then accessing it. Does this work?Obviously your Hotmail access has been restricted by the moderators. Can't tell you why though.

if you are signed in to LWOS and then click the WORL link, you will get punted.
you must have been banned at some stage.
dont worry, there are thousands of us banned from the WORL,,
its a matty thing.

sign out before you go visiting, thats all i do.
if you want to post,sign up for a new msn passport,msn cant ban thru ip addys.

there is a way of getting into the grandstand forum as well if you are banned

 

[Vertigo]

Why would this be so -
My partner can log onto the AOL web page from either one of our home computers without a problem. She punches in her username and password but the "cannot display this page" error icon comes up. Yet when she goes to work and tries from either one of the PC's there, there is not problem; she can get into her emailpage in a heartbeat. We have also tried this from a neighbours PC as well as the public library's one and have no problem accessing her emails with either one. This has been happening for three days/nights straight now.
Is this in my security settings or general settings somewhere? We have no problem accessing any URL or email through other servers like MSN and Hotmail, whatsoever.
Why is this? Can anyone offer suggestions please?

[imported_Tonyp]

Outlaw, just checked. There's no-one banned there by that nic. Could you have signed in under another one?

 

[imported_Outlaw]

Outlaw, just checked. There's no-one banned there by that nic. Could you have signed in under another one?
No mate! No way! You haven't found the name Outlaw under your banned list because I have NEVER been a member there. Honest mate!
ButI'll tell you one thing TonyP, either yourself or someone other has seen this and unbanned my hotmail account because I just went over there and walked right in. I don't know what happened then and now, but all's sweet.
So thanks to whoever/whatever was responsible for the fix up.

TonyP, do you guys have a list of banned hotmailpassport's at WORL? Because I can post my hotmail account here and you can check the banned list. You'll seeI wasn't BS'ing.

It sounds like Outlaw was directed to the wrong page by a dodgy link or glitch. Sometimes browsers and/or servers generate the wrong information.

Most likely just an internet thing and nothing personally directed at anyone in particular.

 

[imported_Trojan Horse]

That certainly is an interesting situation where a person {on this ocassion merely an observer} has had his email address banned from a communitywithout even being a member ofthat particularcommunity.
You must remember something with MSN comunities; ie:because they provide such a diverse selection of communities covering a broad range of topics {to tens and hundredsof thousands of people-conservatively put}, glitches are prone to happen; and they often do. I agree with the earlier post that it was more than likely ancyber hiccup rather than a personal vendetta.
Of course, I'm speculating.

 

[imported_Evilgrrrrrrrrrrowler]

Outlaw, perhaps someone used your email address to become a member there purely to stir up trouble or as Trojan says it's a glich. I can't sign in here with my original email even though I removed it from membership. It tells me that email is in use by a member of this community already.

 

[Willow]

"...or as Trojan says it's a glich..."
lol he did too?
Welcome aboard Trojan. Good to see the glitchesare in the majority.

Outlaw, if you makes you feel any better, I got this message tonight:

That was while trying look at my own profile on LWOS... managers are not immune to eccentricities of Nine Msn either. As you can see, I'm still here.

 

[imported_JoeD]

Does anyone now of any good (and preferably free) software for compressing jpeg files. Currently I am taking photos with a digital camera and on high resolution the photos are about 700kb, way too big to email. Up till now I've been using photoshop to alter the pixel size of the photos to make them smaller, however this is quite time consuming, Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[imported_MrAngryOne]

Winrar,

Go to a Google search and type in Winrar.

Best compression around.

[imported_MrAngryOne]

Agreed Bronco, Winzip is easier to use but Winrar has better compression, either will compress jpegs well.

 

[imported_Trojan Horse]

www.downloads.com has the very best downloads for your desktop. The mayority of them are free. Browse the webpage and you're more than likely to find {at the veryleast} ten or twentyworthy downloads.

 

[ozbash]

joe, did you get any software with your camera ?
can you change the settings for your photo size on yr camera?

 

[imported_JoeD]

Thanks for the replys guys, I haven't tried any yet but I sure will today. OB, I prefer to take the photos in as a high a resolution as possible and then I have the option of compressing them.

Does anyone know ifyou canpause something in media player and then save that image as a jpeg?
