MVP List #24 (Feb 5 - Feb 10, 2012)

The Verizon Community Forums Most Valuable Posting List is where we recognize great work and words happening every day right here on our community. We know the success as a community is based on the continual and lively contributions of our valued members. Each member provides special and unique contributions and this is the place we try to highlight members that have stood out during the previous week.
Thread of The Week:
What do you do when the router is in the basement, your wireless just isn’t up to speed, and you need to decide between a router vs. bridge vs. switch? You come to the forum, where our super users are glad to help!
Post of The Week:
Members who are still trying to delete files that had been uploaded to their personal Verizon websites via FTP got a boost from somegirl this week when she directed their attention back to a previous post on contacting Verizon techs and steering them through the process. Kudos, somegirl!
Member of The Week:
Roadking10453 was a great team player this week, catching a user’s question in the end zone and carrying it through with a timely explanation of just what the FiOS back-up battery is for.
Quote of the Week:
Beyond that ... I find a little parental authority can be highly effective ... and when they don't listen, you simply remove the STB altogether from their room and they don't get TV at all. Doesn't make for a popular parent ... but that's why it's called parenting. – lasagna

Can't really take credit for the post; it was from britechguy's post here.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

I am honored to be on the list, however I wish it wasn't for the reason it was.
Unmentioned in your post is the outpouring of support for the Funimation channel. This channels cancellation, due to what is quickly turning out to be a less than factual reason of 'low viewership' from Verizon, has mobilized many of your customers. In fact, I'm sure that most of the people in your list this week were kudo'ed for posts in 1 of 2 threads:
Funimation Canceled!
Save Funimation Petition
If we are to look at the pure numbers, at the time of this writing those 2 threads combined for a total of nearly 950 kudos and 3800+ views. Even more telling: 198 of the 200 most kudo'ed posts are people SUPPORTING Funimation Channel and against Verizon's decision to cancel the channel. (http://forums.verizon.com/t5/kudos/leaderboardpage/board-id/FiOS_TV_Entertainment/timerange/one_mont...
IMHO (and no offense to Justin and his very helpful document) either of these 2 would have made a much more appropriate 'Thread of the week'.

Thread of the Week:
Do you remember the days before the Interactive Media Guide- the guide we all refer to when looking to see what's on TV? I use our guide all the time and it's so very frustrating when it's moving slow. It's amazing how long a few seconds can feel when you're waiting for the guide to catch up. Sometimes a slow guide is a sign of a bigger issue with your devices, but more often than not you can solve the issue yourself as shown this thread.
Post of the Week:
Here's an interesting question for you. Let's say you have multiple FiOS TV set top boxes in your house- can you switch them around or do they have to stay with the TV set they were originally hooked up with? Walt178 knows the answer- find out what it is here.
Member of the Week:
Gs0b is our Member of the Week for his help in this thread about splitting a jack that your HSI connection plugs into. If your jack has to do double duty, will that affect your HSI speed? Find out here.

Thread of The Week:
One of the trickiest- and most interesting- things about posting a question on the boards is that your original question can very easily morph into another question altogether. This is what happened within this week's Thread of the Week. A simple question asking if you can swap out a modem/router combo for a modem only has led to some great discussions on how best to use your PS3.
Post of the Week:
Ever wonder what happens when disputed charges from third party billing are taken off your phone bill? Minded knows- and he shares with you here.

Thread of The Week:
Do you have a Blu-Ray player? We do- I didn't want to get one (I thought it would be a waste of money), but we use it all the time for a lot more then just playing discs. One of the things we use ours for at least once a day is Netflix and I can't imagine how frustrated I'd be if my Blu-Ray signal was too weak to properly connect to my FiOS service. Thankfully thanks to this thread if I ran into that problem, I'd know what to do!
Post of the Week:
Some times when you're dealing with all this technology, you sometimes forget that it's the little things- like the wires- that can trip you up. Here's a great thread that helps you figure out what kind of wire may be connected to your modem. Thanks to Hubrisnxs and OldGuy69 for helping out!

Hi prisaz
Unfortunately, a user's IP is considered personal information. If they post a copy/paste, we are able to edit it out. However, when it's in an image, we have to remove the entire thing. But when we message the user, we ask them to obscure their IP and to re-post the image.
Good reason, makes sense. But couldn't you edit the image (with an image editor) and cover up the IP address? I do that kind of thing all the time with images I post here to protect my privacy (although as you know I occasionally do screw that up ). Would save the confusion and need for the user to repost the image.

Patrick,
Thanks my session verify function was causing the problem and I have removed it temporarily from my authentication scheme.
I am using the "check_timeout" function that was developed a number of years ago as part of a "How To" section in the old HTMLdb days. I knew there was an issue with this routine as the newer versions of the browsers handle cookies differently and I was going to redevelop it at some point. Do you know which part of the function causes the issue?
Many Thanks,
Jon
