Post of the Week:
You know I love some common sense advice, and that is what Hubrisnxs offers here on what to do to help curb email spam. I admit, I haven't done some of these things, until now!

Did you know there is a difference between bytes and bits? I didn't, but Smith6612 does- and that makes him our Member of the Week thanks to his response to a thread about slow internet speeds.

Thread of the Week:
Here's our Thread of the Week Mission (im)Possible: you have two different FiOS networks and only one printer. How do you get the printer to work with both networks? Find out here!
Post of the Week:
If your wireless connection keeps dropping, it could be due to interference- maybe from your neighbors! CaptainSTX has some suggestions in this thread on what could be causing the interference and what can be done to combat it so your wireless connection stays solid.
Member of the Week:
When users complain that their HSI / FiOS speeds are slow, one of the first things our community members will ask you is to check your speeds while wired directly into the router. Logan8 does a great job explaining why we need to do that and what small changes you can make that may increase your speed in this thread.

Thread of The Week:
If you're a parent of young kids, you can't help but know that Verizon FiOS has a new channel. That's right, Disney Jr. has arrived! If you're looking the channel, check out this thread for more info.
Post of the Week:
Huge thanks to Somegirl- one of our newest Community Leaders- for helping a new Verizon customer set up her Verizon email. It's always tricky figuring out a new system, but Somegirl's answer (with pictures!) got the job done.
Member of the Week:
Can I tell you all a little secret? I'm not a technical person- at all. My eyes glaze over the minute acronyms and tech talk are thrown around. That is why my favorite threads on the boards are those that give great answers in a clear, concise way. Hubrisnxs does just that here in a great thread about what to do when you think you're having a service outage.

First thanks fo the kind words Heather and Armond. I really never thougt I would rate "MVP" status, after losing my job in IT support a few years back I have participated in a few forums but this one seems the most civil and informative. I have learned a lot over the years posting questions and reading real experts' posts (there are too many to mention) I am really happy to give back to this awesome community.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, please 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. Thanks !!!

Post of The Week:
Who doesn’t like to save their favorite shows for viewing later? The problem of course, is running out of room! Keyboards was on hand this week with some excellent feedback on determining whether you can expand your DVR with an eSATA drive.
Member of The Week:
Kudos go out this week to Smith6612 for his detailed and informative posts that cover a range of Verizon’s products and services, including this response on getting internet service at the user’s address.

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.

Thread of The Week:
The great news is that FiOS TV gives you a lot of channels to chose from. The bad news is that FiOS TV gives you a lot of channels to chose from- and that means a lot of time spent wading through channels you aren't interested in to find the ones you are. That is where selecting your Favorites comes in handy- but what happens when Favorites aren't working properly? Never fear- our users have it covered!
Post of the Week:
Congratulations- you have your new FiOS set top box and you can't wait to get it hooked up! Mattheww outlines clearly and easily how best to hook your new box to your TV here.
Member of the Week:
Many thanks to Lasagna for his great response to how FiOS connections work in apartment buildings!

HT1338 A Problem with the Oct 18, 2012 Java Update

Yesterday's (Oct 18, 2012) Java update does not start with my applications. What can I do?

JavaQuestion wrote:
Yesterday's (Oct 18, 2012) Java update does not start with my applications.
In this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/20074533 three different solutions were used, all of which would seem to be rather complicated. Hopefully a simple solution will show up soon.

On Nov. 22, after having to erase and restore my Western Digital external hard drive (per WD tech support) then rebacking up the iMac, noted that three events put in iPhoto in Sept., Oct.

On Nov. 22, after having to erase and restore my WD My Passport for Mac external hard drive (per WD tech support) then rebacking up the iMac, I noted that three events loaded into iPhoto in Sept., Oct. and early Nov. had disappeared. They certainly had been there because I printed out several images from these events. Now they have vanished but everything through August and after Nov. 22 is there. Seems impossible. How could something disappear from the hard drive? Apple tech was unable to explain or provide a solution. Has anyone else ever had something like this happen?

How did you reformat the EHD? It should be OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored.
If the drive is formatted correctly do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Sounds very similar to this issue:
http://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2014/10/workstation-10-issue-recent-microsoft-windows-8-1-update.html
Are you running the most recent version of VMware Workstation 10?

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'.

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

Post of the Week:

Most Helpful Member:
This would have to go out to Justin this week. A member wanted help with "Setting up the IMG Guide to just show channels that they actually get" We were reminded at how helpful it is sometimes to point each other back to content/solutions already previously posted. Justin had written a user guide on that very topic previously with "Exploiting TV Favorites."
Most Noteworthy Quote:
"In contrast to those users who claim they aren't being given the speeds they were advertised, FiOS customers in our forums indicate they're actually getting more than they paid for." Great observation, Hubrisnxs!
