Live! 24 echo on star
My Li've! 24-bit card worked fine up until I tested out various sound effects (theater, small room, garage, etc.). Since then however, whenever I start up my computer it plays all audio with an echo effect on. The only way I have found to turn this off is to test each of the 5 speakers in the EAX console. How can I set my card to startup with normal sound? Could updating my drivers fix this? I'm running xp media center edition if that matters.
How about clicking the Restore Default option in the software(Surround mixer,etc...) and see if it hel
ps.

I've been having a lot of problems trying to get an old batch file we have laying around, to run from my powershell script. The batch file actually asks for two inputs from the user. I've managed to put together a powershell that echos a response, but of
course, that only will answer one of the prompts. As usual, I've simplified things here to get my testing done. The batch file looks like this:
@ECHO OFF
SET /P CUSTID=Customer Number:
SET /P DBCOUNT=Number of Live Databases:
ECHO Customer Id was set to : %CUSTID%
ECHO Database Count was set to : %DBCOUNT%
Two inputs, two echos to verify values have been set. Now, the powershell looks like this:
Param(
[string]$ClientADG,
[string]$ClientDBCount,
[scriptblock]$Command
$ClientADG = '1013'
$ClientDBCount = '2'
$Response = $ClientADG + "`r`n" + $ClientDBCount
$Command = 'Invoke-Command -ComputerName localhost -ScriptBlock {cmd /c "echo ' + $ClientADG + ' | E:\Scripts\Setup\Company\DatabaseSetupTest.bat"}'
powershell -command $Command
Output looks like:
Customer Number: Number of Live Databases: Customer Id was set to : 1013
Database Count was set to :
As expected, as I'm only passing in one value. I can't figure out how to get a second value passed in for the second prompt. Instead of $ClientADG, I tried to mash the two value together in the $Response variable with a cr/lf or a cr or a lf in between,
but no go there either. The first input gets set to the second value, and second input is blank still. In the essence of time, I need to get this batch file called from Powershell to get some folks productive while I actually rewrite what the batch file does
in another powershell, so it can be integrated into other things. (I'm automating what a bunch of people spend hours doing into multiple scripts and eventually one BIG script so they can focus on doing their real jobs instead).
How do I get this right in powershell? I don't want to modify the batch file at all at this point, just get it running from the powershell.
Thanks in advance!
mpleafIt's a "simple" test so I can figure out how to get the arguments passed from ps to bat. The bat file looks like this:
@ECHO OFF
SET CUSTID = %1
SET DBCOUNT = %2
ECHO Customer Id was set to : %CUSTID%
ECHO Database Count was set to : %DBCOUNT%
That's it. The PS script looks like this:
Invoke-Command-ComputerName myserver-ScriptBlock{cmd/c"E:\Scripts\Setup\Company\DatabaseSetupTest.bat
1013 2"}
That's it. The bat file exists on "myserver", and I'm getting the echo back, but without the values.

Empty / White Rating Stars won't go away
When I rate one or more songs on an album, iTunes automatically gives estimated ratings for the rest of the songs on the album as white or empty stars. Which I don't like.
Formerly, I was able to fix this by going to album view, right click on the album and set rating to zero. But with the last software update this fix doesn't work anymore.
Any suggestions?Are you talking about "Rating" or "Album Rating"? There appears to be a difference. I didn't even really know what you were talking about and did a Google search. Then I made a smart playlist for myself of all of my songs with and album rating not zero. The vast majority of my library popped up.
My suggestion is that you don't assign an Album Rating to any song. The Album Rating appears to be consistent throughout all of the songs from an album (which would only make sense). I gave one song on Doc Powell's +Doc Powell+ an Album Rating of 5, then as I selected the rest of the songs on that album, they went from 4 empty stars to 5 stars. The "problem" is that the one unrated song from that album suddenly had 5 empty stars in the Rating column. Well, no, if I thought that song was worth 5 stars, I would have already given it such a rating! I presume rating the song would replace the five empty stars with the number of stars I want the song to have. I selected a song and returned the Album Rating to zero, so all of the songs went back to 4 empty stars, and my unrated song from +Doc Powell+ went back to 0.
Apparently, iTunes takes the average of the Rating of songs on an album to suggest an Album Rating with empty stars. That rating will be the same for all songs on the album. However, if you assign an album an Album Rating by giving one of the songs any number of stars in the Album Rating column, it will suggest that value with empty stars in the Rating column for any song you haven't given a solid rating within that album. That actually makes sense to me.
Solution: don't give any song an Album Rating. I don't even have that column showing in my playlist views. Make a smart playlist where the criterion is Album Rating is not 0; then select one song from each of the albums and change the Album Rating to 0. You can live with the empty stars in that column.

Plug-ins factor into crossgrade to AI CS3
Yes, you can crossgrade to AI CS3 from FH9, 10 or MX for $199
US.
However, when planning a switch, make sure you also include
the price of the
ton of third party plug-ins you'll need to buy to get close
the same
functionality as many FH features you may rely on. You'll
need to fork out
wads of cash for features such as multiple pages, scale
drawings, bending
line segments, joining multiple path segments, knife tool,
perspective
drawing. I could go on.
If there are plug-ins and/or scripts that can fully duplicate
the
functionality of FH's Find & Replace Graphics, I haven't
found them.
Do your research before assuming you can easily jump to
Illustrator.
Here are a few reasons I use FH instead of Illustrator:
-- Name all colors in document
-- Find & Replace color in document, page or selection
-- Find & Replace path shape
-- Multiple pages
-- Paste Inside
-- Interactive rounded corners on rectangles
-- Live shape primitives - polygons, stars, etc.
-- Live ellipse segments
-- Join selected path segments (requires concatonate plug-in)
-- Convert multiple points to curve, corner, retract handles,
automatic
handles
-- Split paths at multiple subselected path segments
-- "Bend-o-matic" -- bend straight path segment by dragging
with pointer
-- Custom ruler scales
-- Scale raster images numerically from original size
-- Easy handling of linked images, including extract image
-- Adjustable snap and pick distances set in preferences
-- New object default preference
-- Type on a closed path, upright top and bottom
-- Zoom view to 512,000 X
-- Tiled printing with specified overlap
Additions or corrections welcome.
Judy Arndt> However, when planning a switch, make sure you also

I rave as much as anyone about the ill-advised need to build
dependency upon third party add-ons in AI. However, it can also be
argued that Illustrator offsets some of that with other features
which FreeHand has never had. Yes, GF&R saves time in FH. On
the other hand, AI's built-in macro facility (Actions) saves huge
amounts of time, too. FH has never had a macro utility.
Illustrator's (and the rest of the CS apps') support for
Javascript is another huge productivity advantage. And I'm not just
talking about building Javascript substitutes for FH features like
joining multiple paths, reversing paths, retracting handles, etc.
I'm talking about the ability to create your own features for your
own specific needs. Just a few examples which I use:
A simple Javascript instantly creates a set of numerically
serialized text objects for such things as callouts in maps and
tech illustrations, or for serialized items like tickets.
Another script randomly fills a user-defined rectangular area
with any number of copies of any object.
Another randomly assigns defined swatches to any number of
selected paths.
Another creates a halftone from a raster image in which each
halftone dot is an instance of a user-defined Symbol.
Another corrects the z-stacking order of selected objects,
based upon their vertical position on the page. (I use this for
processing tabular text in CAD imports.)
Okay, you don't want to build Javascripts. Point is, the more
AI users do it, the less likely you have to. AI Javascript is
completely cross-platform. People share them all the time, for
free. So for me, this is a huge productivity advantage which FH
cannot match. I miss having GF&R when using AI, too. But I've
already become just as dependent upon AI's Javascript support and
Actions. Moreover, the JS advantage is compounded because the same
thing is supported in both InDesign and Acrobat.
> You'll need to fork out wads of cash for features such
as multiple pages, scale drawings,
And you'll find after doing so that even the most often-cited
plug-ins for those fall far short of the elegance of built-in
features. CAD Tools' treatment of custom scales looks to me like a
bitmap overlay over the AI rulers. I don't have the latest version,
but in the version I have its performance is quite poor.
On the other hand, FH's custom rulers compare rather weakly
against those in other programs, too. Just the other day, Judy, you
answered someone needing to set up a scale using microns as the UOM
with a rationalization that FH "is not a CAD program." Well, Canvas
isn't either, but the kind of scale the correspondent needed can be
set up in seconds in Canvas.
Third party plug-ins for "multiple pages" are really nothing
more than schemes to use layers or page tiling as pretentions of
multiple pages. Those who offer them just don't get it. FH's
innovative approach to multiple pages offers illustration-centric
advantages none of the AI plug-ins I've seen offer.
On the other hand, Adobe did in CS2 add a reasonable
interface for managing an array of same-size page tiles on AI's
artboard. No, it does not even come close to measuring up to FH's
versatile page handling (and I tell Adobe that at every
opportunity). But again, when it comes to the bottom line of total
productivity, an advantage in one program can compensate for an
advantage in the other. For example, it's pretty dang handy to be
able to be flipping through a multi-page PDF in Acrobat, rightClick
the page with the TouchUpObject tool, select EditPage, and have
that page open in Illustrator for editing. Make the edits, select
Save, and you are returned to the PDF in Acrobat.
> Do your research before assuming you can easily jump to
Illustrator.
Always good advice.
> Name all colors in document
> Find & Replace color in document, page or selection
I haven't laid hands on it yet, but reading between the lines
of the new color handling in CS3, I suspect it may provide those
and more. If not exactly those, then other color handling features
which FH does not have. I, for one, will welcome the color schemes
functionality.
Find & Replace path shape
> Paste Inside
I'm not sure if this has changed in CS3, but I suspect it may
have. The problem with AI's Clipping Masks is not functional, but
interface. The interface displays the edges of masked portions of
whole clipping path group when selected, and displays the whole
contents' dimensions, and performs alignments upon the whole
contents' bounds, rather than those of the clipping path. But I've
see mention of ability to align points having been added to CS3,
and it seems logical to me that some of the Clipping Mask problems
may have been addressed as part of that. Again, we'll see.
Live shape primitives - polygons, stars, etc. [including
rounded rectangles and ellipse arcs]
Agreed. On the other hand, the ability to apply Convert To
Shape as a live effect to individual stroke or fill attributes in
the Appearance Palette is a somewhat offsetting advantage of AI.
> Join selected path segments (requires concatonate
plug-in)
I built a pair of Javascripts for this, which work much like
FH's Join command, but which gives me the option of whether
pre-existing outboard handles are respected. I use it every day.
Understand, this is NOT to make any excuse for the inexcusably poor
Join command in AI.
> Convert multiple points to curve, corner, retract
handles, automatic handles
Judging by the screenshots of CS3, most, if not all, of that
is now provided. Yes, 20 years late, but today is what matters
today.
> Split paths at multiple subselected path segments
Actually, you can do that in AI, but by different means.
DirectSelect the segments instead of the points. Cut, tap Delete,
PasteInFront. For my own purposes, I wanted it to work more like
FH, so again, I wrote myself a pretty simple Javascript to just
break selected points.
> "Bend-o-matic" -- bend straight path segment by dragging
with pointer
As you may recall, you're singing one of my favorite tunes
there. On the consolation side, though, selection behavior has been
altered in CS3 (something I really figured would be "holy ground",
never to be improved). According to what I read between the lines
in Teri Petit's description, the tedium of having to continually
deselect when using AI's white pointer should be aleviated in CS3.
> Easy handling of linked images, including extract image
Like multiple pages and Collect For Output, it should be
built into AI. But for those who may not know, it's not that big a
deal to save the AI file as PDF, have it automatically launch
Acrobat, and then use Acrobat's Extract All Images command.
> Adjustable snap and pick distances set in preferences
Has been added in CS3. Also settings for the display of
points and handles.
> Tiled printing with specified overlap
You can do that in CS2. It's in the Print Dialog's Setup
pane. Select Tile Whole Pages, set the desired overlap, click Done.
Turn on View>Show Page Tiling.

I have version 4.1.2 and have been doing great rercording for several years. I use only real instruments. This week I added "acoustic guitar echoes" to my classical guitar, and that enabled the "flanger" setting which is what I wanted. Mysteriously, every time I burn a test CD, that lead guitar track is very weak, even though the recording level is quite high. Nothing I have done has helped the mix. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to circumvent it? I've tried burning straight from GB to a CD and also via Itunes; it doesn't make any difference. Thanks.
P.S. I usually record my classical guitar on the "vocal" and "live performance" settings, using my Blue YETI mic, set on stereo. I get great recordings which always transfer perfectly to my CDs. I'm puzzled why adding the acoustic guitar echoes would be failing in the burn process. Hope this clarifies.

Echo during some of live programs
echoing during some live programs
Judging from zero responses and the facts that Skype and Panasonic are pointing fingers at each other regarding this problem, I've come to the conclusion that this technology doesn't work. I'm sending the camera back for a refund.
It would be nice if these issues were worked out before a product is put on the market. -
While playing back a video recorded on a AJA system we transfered it to the macbook pro played it with quicktime works great and sometimes it sounds like an echo same file track and it plays fine on the aja system.Tried it on another macbook pro and it did the same issue.Any clue to what is going on.Thank you.
Thank you supermacmom!
I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone5, and I remember the instructions saying that any protective screen cover should be removed before enclosing the phone into the case, but I left mine on with no ill effects.
But I should have taken off the back protective film, which was covering the video mic! -
Hearing Reverb/Echo Sounds on SB Live
in the past two days, when listening to sounds on my headphones (and speakers too) there's been a lot of oddity with the sound. the biggest problem is the apparent reverb/echo effect that seems to be consistently on. I've checked to make sure that this effect isn't turned on in the mixer. additionally, there have been other oddities such as the volume level being very very low, even if the volume control is set at about halfway point.
I'm using Windows XP SP2 and there is no standalone driver available on the site for my card, only an update to a previous download that is no longer listed.OK - try this:
Uninstall the sound card in device manager:
Right click "my Computer" > properties > Hardware > Device Manager
> sound & video game controllers > creative SB li've! series, right click and uninstall
Then Re-Boot
your system will detect and re-install the card reverb gone
don't know why this works - it just does -
X220 - problem with SmartAudio echo reduction
I sometimes use my computer to watch TV shows and skype at the same time with friends that live abroad (i.e. we watch the same TV show and discuss it over skype). I have never had any problems with my previous laptops doing that as long as I used a headset and not speakers which create a lot of echo.
However the SmartAudio software installed on my X220 creates some problem with that, depending on the settings I choose in the SmartAudio voice effects preferences which can be accessed using the "advanced audio settings" link in the lenovo web conferencing application.
If I choose the Voice Recording profile then for some reason my friends get an echo of my video's audio, even though I am using a heaset, which does not make sense as the microphone cannot "hear" the video's audio.
If I choose the Voice Over IP profile then there is no echo, however there seems to be some noise reduction applied to the video's audio as any background noise is heavily muted unless there is someone speaking in the video.
Thanks in advance for any advice on how to get a clear audio with no noise reduction yet no echo for my friends.hey evalf,
could you try uninstalling and then go to our support site via http://support.lenovo.com ; download the latest audio driver and reinstall.
see if that works.

How soon after an exchange goes live with Infinity will BT allow other providers to sell Fibre To The Cabinet services from that exchange? My existing ISP is waiting to announce pricing details to me so I can make an informed choice. Thanks
7:08
KerryG:
Hi John Good to see you on the chat - who else is here?

Comment From Chris
Hello world.
7:10
Comment From Helen
hi all.
7:11
Comment From Paul
Are we able to get fastpath on BT infinity,or will this ever be available ?
7:12
Martin S.:
i Neil. When Openreach enables an exchange for fibre, all internet service providers are able to use that service equally - so other ISPs should be able to offer their fibre products at the same time as BT Retail's Infinity product
7:12
KerryG:
Thanks for all the great questions coming through guys... answers being typed as we speak!
7:13
Charles:
Hi Paul, We don't support Fastpath on BT infinity at the moment, I'm afraid.
7:13
Comment From Helen
I've recently upgraded to Infinity 2. The ethernet connection is fine, but the wifi is constantly dropping. I have an old Homehub 2 , which we had for total broadband, will it work, so I can test the wifi.
7:14
Comment From Simon
Hi all
7:15
Martin S.:
Neil - also its worth remembering that when an exchange is enabled for fibre, this does not automatically mean that all cabinets and lines connected to that exchange are also enabled, which might explain if your exchange has been enabled but your line is not appearing as eligible yet
7:16
Comment From Kevin
Whats the upgrade path from fttc to fttp does it mean a new contract or can we just expect it to migrate?
7:17
KerryG
Out of interest...are those on the chat existing Infinity customers or people thinking about it?
7:18
Charles
Hi Helen, your wireless should work ok on your Hub 2, though our more recent Hub 3 is better. If you're expereincing drop outs, it's usually a sign of radio interference. Have you any powerline adaptors you could use instead?
7:18
Comment From Neil Potter
Thanks Martin - Workmen recently dug up the path outside my driveway to install FTTC so I know it's there My exchange goes live on 30th June - I can't wait!I have another question: I'm in the process of consolidating my TV, Telephone and Broadband into one bundle. The "BT Vision Unlimited" looks ideal.
7:19
Comment From Paul
Is there a estimated date that fast path will be available ?
7:19
Martin S.
Hi Kevin - Due to the structure of how fibre has been deployed, your line will either be FTTC or FTTP; there is no way to change your technology type. If you mean 'how do you move to the faster 80mb product (on FTTC)?', this can be done using the links on BT.com
7:19
Comment From Helen
I'm an existing customer.
7:19
Charles
No, 'fraid not, Paul.
7:19
Comment From Neil Potter
thinking about re-joining BT just for Infinity product(s)

Comment From Chris
I've recently ordered my Infinity package, installation is due the 22nd.
7:20
KerryG
Great to see you all on here... roll on the 22nd for you Chris
7:20
Comment From Kevin
Why are you fitting 2 separate items a modem and a wireless router? cant we have a combined unit, without the need for 2 adaptors and sockets its not the tidiest install
7:21
Comment From Chris
Regarding the Infinity installation, is it mandatory for the BT O/R Engineerer to have access to your PC?
7:22
Martin S.
Hi Chris - It is not mandatory, but we recommend allowing the engineer to show you on your own equipment your fantastic new speeds!
7:22
Comment From Simon
hi, im trying to setup port forwarding to my old draytek, as it has more powerful wirelelss capabaility then the bt homehub, is it possible
7:23
KerryG
Hi Simon - that sounds like a great question for the forum boards, the Draytek is not a BT product so we can go into detail here in this chat, but there will be lots of people who i'm sure can help in the forum.
7:24
Charles
Evening Kevin, for BT Infinity is based on thecurrent FTTC product offered by BT Openreach, which comprises the VDSL modem provided by Openreach and the Home Hub 3 provided by Retail. If/when Openreach move to supporting a single box solution, then we would look to moving to that. Openreach will shortly be trialling this.
7:24
Comment From Helen
I've already checked there's nothing interfering with the Hub.
7:24
Comment From Helen
I don't have a Hub3, both the one that is currently connected, and the old one I have in the box are Hub 2.
7:25
Comment From Chris
Yes, going from 3mb to an estimated 50mb+ is quite the upgrade, I would even be happy if it was merely a 10MB upgrade. - If I remember correctly FTTC is around(if not the same) price as standard broadband these days.
7:26
Charles
Helen - could you post your issue in the Bt Infinity forum and one of our mods will look into this for you.
7:26
Comment From Kevin
My install is planned for the 28th May my question is i have my master socket downstairs directly below the room i want my fttc modem installed is it possible to have the modem upstairs with the extension cable ?
7:27
Comment From Mike B
I have an istalation question. I understand that the modem for Infinity needs to be sited close to the BT phone socket. Am I right in thinking that the modem is then connected via a Cat 5/6 cable to the wireless router situated elsewhere in the house? Does this impact on the speed?
7:27
Comment From Helen
Ok charles, I will do..
7:28
Comment From Neil Potter
On the subject of Powerline Adaptors (PA's) - I have a unique setup here at home whereby I would need to utilise 4 x PA's. Are there any known performance issues sharing data, experiencing latency or dropped packets from Desktop PC's all connected via PA's at the same time?
7:28
Martin S.
Kevin / Mike B: The engineer can use an extension cable up to 30m long to help position your equipment where you want it - this should not affect your speed.
7:29
Comment From Eric Simpson
I have bt broadband .. I am currently getting 3M download. I have two "estimates" from the BT site. One says I should get between 10-17 ... the other which does some sort of check/diagnostic (and appears to be the real thing) says I should get between 1-4. We are meant to get Infinity next month. How would that impact me?
7:31
Charles
Hi neil - good question. I've found from experience that powerline performance is very much dependent on the adaptor manufacturer and your home environment, specifically how 'clean' your electrical spectrun is. All I can say is give it a try. That said, i would always recommend an Ethernet connection for the fastest and most stable speeds.
7:31
Martin S.
Hi Eric. You can find your predicted BT Infinity speed (if it is available on your line) at bt.com/infinity and entering your number into the availability checker
7:31
Comment From Simon
hi, really I'm just asking a tech question - can the bt home hub port forward?
7:32
Comment From Eric Simpson
Does my question pop up only when it comes up the queue?
7:33
KerryG
Hi Eric - Yes, they will flow in as they get answered - it helps to make the chat easier to read as the Q & As flow in a reasonable order.
Great questions coming through... lots more to get through...been a quick 33 mins!
7:33
Charles
Hi simon - I'm assuming you're talking about the Hub 3 (our latest Hub). Yes, it does support port forwarding. You can set this up via the configuration menu in your Hub. See instructions in your Hub user guide for how to do this.
7:33
Comment From Glynn
Will BT Retail be selling fibre-on-demand at an affordable cost for home users?
7:35
Comment From guilbo
Hello folks. I have a question. We often see on the Vision forum that users start having problems with their service on Infinity that they weren't having with ADSL. Do you know of anything that would cause this?
7:35
Martin S.
Hi Glynn, we are currently reviewing Fibre on Demand and have not yet announced any pricing or availability details.
7:36
Comment From Chris
How reliable is that checker by chance?
7:37
Comment From Paul (Heanor)
Also I am booked for installation on 22nd May
7:37
KerryG
Nice one Paul You'll be enjoying super fast speeds then too
7:38
Charles
HI guilbo - I'm not aware of any technical issues for Vision customer regrading to Infinity. We have hundreds of orders go through each week. If the problem persists, I would suggest customers contact the Infinity helpdesk.
7:38
Comment From Neil Potter
Thanks for your reply Charles - If I could ask, the PA's you supply with the current BT Vision boxes are manufactured by Simpler Networks - would I need to purchase identical PA's from the same manufacturer for extending my network? Will BT Retail sell me these as an additional extra? This will be my last question - I feel I have been fortunate to have two answered already
7:39
Martin S.
Hi Chris - The speeds estimated in the checker are a very good indication of actual speeds, but we can only know the exact speed once installed.
7:39
Comment From Eric Simpson
it says not available yet. I am just frustrated because I get faster speed from my little Android phone using it as a hotspot. If there is a bottleneck somewhere in the system, would fibre really make a difference
7:41
Comment From Kevin
I have been given the estimate of 59.4Mb download 20.0Mb upload will this be accurate?
7:42
Charles
Hi neil - yes you should always stick to the same model for all your PA's. I am pretty sure that additional Vision PA's can be bought from the BT Shop, and these should be fine. I have had 70mbps out of mine! seewww.bt.com/shop
7:43
Martin S.
Eric - Generally fibre can make a very significant difference to overall speeds, though individual increases can't be guaranteed. If / when it becomes available on your line, the checker will tell you how much of a difference it could make to you.
7:43
Comment From Chris
I'm assuming it's based on the length of copper from my house to the Green Cab. - The exchange is 2miles~ away from me and the said Cab. Will this also effect my speed?
7:45
Charles
Hi Kevin - our estinmates are as accurate as we can make them, but your actual speed will depend on your underlying phone line speed. We will only know your true speed once Infinity is live - it will then train to your optimal line speed, which should be approx as shown by your prediction.
7:45
KerryG
Glad to see you all keeping Charles and Martin busy here... keep the questions coming in, we're in the last 15 mins now...
7:45
Martin S.
Chris - Yes, your speed is primarily affected by the total amount of copper between you and the exchange. With FTTC fibre products, the old copper between the exchange and the cabinet is replaced by fibre, meaning less copper overall and faster speeds.
7:45
Comment From Lewis
Why does DLM take so long to take interleaving off?
7:45
Comment From Neil Potter
Thank you very much for your time this evening Charles / Martin / Kerry. It's nice to see these types of events becoming more accessible to your customers and I for one feel I've got a lot from joining you all this evening
7:46
Martin S.
Thanks Neil - you're welcome!
7:46
KerryG
Great stuff Neil.... glad you've found it useful.
7:46
Comment From Chris
The Cab is 500-600 metres away from me, and according this graph the the BT estimated speed is just right on that.
7:47
Charles
Hi Lewis - DLM will apply interleaving only if it detects an ustable line. It will not apply interleaving unless it is warranted.
7:47
Comment From Kevin
I guess when i get my infinity installed a lot of sites and links will still be on dsl or adsl+ or even slower and the speed my end wont improve the speed there end ie my speed will depend on the site i visit and there upload speed for my download speed?
7:48
Comment From Dom
I am moving to BT infinity, but I had to order my line and then wait for it to be activated before ordering infinity. Is this a technical issue or a process at BT issue?
7:49
Charles
Evening Dom. It's a process issue - we can only provide Infinity once a Retail line is up and running.
7:49
Comment From William Sinclair
Hi guys. I've upgraded to Infinity 2 with an estimated max download of 49.5 Mbps however my IP profile hasn't budged from the Infinity 1 value of ~30. Any thoughts?
7:50
Comment From Dom
Thanks - this is a great service BT, keep it up!
7:51
Martin S.
Hi Kevin - yes, some websites that you visit may not be able to keep up with your superfast speeds! We aim to give you the best speeds at your end, but sadly there may sometimes be bottlenecks in the wider internet.
7:51
Charles
HI William - sorry for the delay in responding. Best thing to do is to reboot your Hub, then it should pick up the new speed. If not, contact the Infinity forum.
7:51
Comment From Lewis
What would cause an unstable line?
7:53
KerryG
@wiesiek @ Martin (not S) thanks for your questions, but as they're individual issues we can't pick them up as part of this chat. Please post in the forum and we can help.
7:53
Comment From guilbo
Apologies in advance for my ignorance. If Infinity is installed does the 'phone continue to use copper all the way to the exchange or does this also go over fibre?
7:54
Charles
Hi lewis - the most common cause is interference on your phone line, in which case DLM will moderate your BB speed until the line stablises. There'smore lot of info on this at the Infinity FAQs on BT.com
7:54
Martin S.
Hi Guilbo - good question - yes, the phone still uses the copper.
7:54
Comment From Paul (Heanor)
Will downloading from such as Xbox market place or apple store as examples max out the connection?
7:55
Comment From Kevin
Thanks to Martin, Kerry, and Charles for all your answers to the questions very much appreciated and a credit to BT Kevin
7:55Hi everyone
Just a reminder that we have our Infinity Expert chat this evening at 7pm. If for any reason you can't make the chat, you can PM me your questions in advance and we'll try to include them. There will also be a replay available of the chat here on the same post after the event.

9:21 PM Guest-8: How did you first find out about Community (like how did you first find out about auditions for it?)! Aso you are the best...and so is Community!
9:22 PM YvetteNBrown: My agent sent me an audition notice and I went in THREE times before I was cast!
9:22 PM Guest-66: So... how about Joel in that rock magician costume...? ;D
9:23 PM YvetteNBrown: I loved Joel in that mascara and eyeliner… I told him it was sexy! Apologies to his wife!
9:23 PM Guest-89: You're my absolute favourite in the show! What were your first thoughts on the whole concept when you first heard/saw it?
9:23 PM YvetteNBrown: Thank you! I thought it was really a great script and was hoping and praying I'd get to be a part!
9:24 PM Guest-87: Yvette, do you know what the plan for next semester is?
9:24 PM YvetteNBrown: We don't know yet. We won't find out until late July when we get that script!
9:24 PM Guest-28: How much time did it take to film season 3?
9:24 PM YvetteNBrown: We filmed season three from late July until late February. 80 hour weeks… yikers!
9:24 PM Guest-105: Who's your favorite cast member?
9:25 PM YvetteNBrown: No matter who you ask this question to in the cast the answer will undoubtedly be Danny Pudi! He's the BEST
9:26 PM Guest-18: Totally loving the shows right now!!!!! Love hearing you sing. Do you guys ever randomly sing when waiting to shoot?
9:25 PM YvetteNBrown: To Guest-18 We sing all the time! We make up songs that only make us laugh. If you heard them you would find us all very strange!
9:26 PM Guest-127: i love you ms, Shirley u the best
9:26 PM YvetteNBrown: To Guest-127 I love you back! And you can call me Yvette. It's okay!
9:26 PM Guest-42: If you could be any other character in the show, who would you be?
9:26 PM YvetteNBrown: I think I would be Senor Chang or Dean Pelton. They seem to have the most fun!
9:27 PM Guest-132: Since its community college and thats usually over in 2 years. Will you guys ever graduate?
9:28 PM YvetteNBrown: I now folks who go to community college long after two years so we could be at Greendale FOREVER! Leonard and Pierce surely have been
9:28 PM Guest-19: After watching the finale, it seems as if the finale was meant to act as a series finale if the show was not renewed. What were the emotions like on set while filming that episode?
9:28 PM YvetteNBrown: It was a bit bittersweet. We had faith we'd be back but we were gratified in knowing that even if we weren't Dan and the writers had given us a fitting finale.
9:29 PM Guest-122: Hey Yvette, @GREENDALE_LOVE from Twitter here. Thank you so much for your amazingness to us fans. How the heck do you ever manage your Twitter account??? We're always bugging you
9:29 PM YvetteNBrown: LOL! You guys are great! For all of your loveliness there's only one or two bad apples and as you now if you follow my feed, they're politely reprimanded and blocked and kindness is restored!
9:29 PM Guest-112: I heard you once had a contract w/Motown. Do you ever think about going back to singing?
9:30 PM YvetteNBrown: I think about it sometimes. But my motown/Biv 10 days were back when I was a teenager. If the right opportunity came about I'd sing a little ditty or two. Until then singing as SHirley is enough for me!
9:30 PM Guest-69: How excited are you about the 13 episodes NBC ordered for the fall?? When I found it was like a really early Christmas gift!
9:31 PM YvetteNBrown: We were OVERJOYED! It was Christmas for us too! And we're really excited about the move to Friday's. It's a more relaxing time slot over there! LOL!
9:31 PM Guest-79: Hi Yvette!! I own Season 1&2 on DVD and all the commentary and special features are hilarious. I love that you guys include that stuff. When does Season 3 come out??
9:32 PM YvetteNBrown: Thanks! We have a great time doing the commentaries! Season 3 will be out later this summer! And you can pre-order it on BestBuy.com…the wording may be weird but the link works! Also seasons 1 & 2 are on sale right now! Gotta love Best Buy!!!
9:33 PM Jason-BBY: You can preorder Season 3 now at http://bit.ly/CommunitySeason3
9:33 PM Guest-149: I've always thought Shirley was just a great character, but in season 3 she has been especially awesome! Are there any Shirley moments or episodes that you would classify as your favorite? Lame question, I know, but it's what I thought of. Thanks for being so awesome and you and all the cast are definitely role models to me! Keep being great.
9:34 PM YvetteNBrown: Not lame at all! I love EVERY opportunity to work with Malcolm-Jamal Warner and also working with Joel McHale! I also enjoy delving into Shirley's darker side. She's fiesty… and SCARY!
9:34 PM Guest-94: Thanks for taking the time to do this, Yvette! We're all really excited that Community has been renewed for a fourth season, but are you at all worried that it won't get a back 9 episodes?
9:36 PM YvetteNBrown: Guest -94… stay in the moment! 13 episodes is great! let's rejoice in that. If the back 9 is meant to be, it will be. Lots of viewers and high ratings will assure it, though… so Communies/Human Beings… tell two friends about the move to Friday at 8:30 in the fall, will ya?
9:35 PM Guest-42: I find that I keep saying "That's nice!" like Shirley -- have you picked up any of your character's mannerisms/sayings?
9:35 PM YvetteNBrown: LOL! "That's Nice" is actually a Yvette saying. I ad-libbed it in the pilot as Shirley and it sorta stuck. So I'd say yes… sorta? To that question.
9:36 PM Guest-30: Who's the wildest on set?
9:37 PM YvetteNBrown: Donald Glover, HANDS DOWN!!!
9:37 PM Guest-132: I love bestbuy! How often do you go to bestbuy & What's your favorite section to browse in Best Buy?
9:37 PM YvetteNBrown: I go to Best Buy all the time! I just bought a fridge and TV there… on triple points weekend! SCORE!!!
9:37 PM Guest-124: Community is now known worldwide. How do you feel about that? (kisses from Brazil, by the way)
9:38 PM YvetteNBrown: Kisses TO Brazil! I think it's awesome! I hope to visit some of the other countries "Community" is playing in someday!
9:38 PM Guest-102: Hi Yvette, thanks so much for what you do! That finale was excellent. What other projects are you working on right now? Anything in the works for the future with Dan Harmon or the other cast members of Community?
9:39 PM YvetteNBrown: Thanks so much! I just finished working on the "Percy Jackson" sequel! Which was Awesome! And I still do a voice on the "Pound Puppies" Cartoon on the Hub network! Listing everyone else's projects would be TOO lengthy! They're all even more busy than me! Talented folks!!
9:39 PM Guest-63: Yvette, how do you get into character? Do you do anything in particular?
9:40 PM YvetteNBrown: I think of my mom and Miss Piggy because those are the two folks I patterned Shirley's voice and/or mannerisms after. I think I owe them both money now!
Guest-205: Hello, you were so amazing in tonight's episodes! The last one brought tears to my eyes! I was wondering, with which member of the cast do you have the most fun working in scenes?
YvetteNBrown: I love them all for different reasons. Gillian (Stink) because she's SO present. She's a very generous actor. Ali because she's just so good at everything. Danny because he's pure love. Donald, Ken & Jim because they're pure fun and Joel because of our awesome sexual chemistry! LOL! Oh, and Chevy because he's a legend.
Guest-146: Does the cast improv any lines? If so who's do you like the most? Great job this season! Season 3 is my favorite.
YvetteNBrown: We all improv from time to time. But Donald's make it in the show most often… followed by maybe Jim's.
Guest-196: The show does many parodies of famous movies and TV shows. What favorite movie/TV would you like to parody next season?
YvetteNBrown: I'd LOVE a muppets parody!
Guest-180: Do you know when you start filming season 4? I love the show! And Shirley!
YvetteNBrown: If things are the same as the previous three seasons, we should go back to begin season four the last week of July.
Guest-122: What has been your favorite episode of Community so far?
YvetteNBrown: Law and Order
renanwho: Hey Yvette! You're doing an amazing job on Community. I also loved you on Drake & Josh! Do you listen to Childish Gambino? If you do, what's your favorite song? Love from Brazil.
YvetteNBrown: Of course! Be Alone and any other song where Donald sings in falsetto. It's dreamy!
Guest-13: I just want to say thanks for following a journey that led you to be part of such a brilliant piece of work Community brings so much laughter into my life. You are amazing. Shirley is such a great character, and you bring so much lovely spirit to her. (We chatted a tiny bit previously about the group I started on Facebook "Keep Community on NBC") LOVE you guys! You are Streets Ahead in my book. -Korrie
YvetteNBrown: Thanks Korrie! xoxo
Guest-87: Yvette, how do you feel about those Jeff/Shirey shippers?
YvetteNBrown: I think it's hilarious and never going to happen! LOL!
YvetteNBrown: Although that Joel is super cute and charming.
Guest-70: Why do you think it was important to do a Musical for this season's Christmas episode? What was it like to work on it?
YvetteNBrown: I think it was just something fun to do and Christmas was the best time. I think it was the goal of the writers to do "Glee" type episode at some point and season 3 was it! And we all had a ball filming it! everything was so festive
Guest-205: If you could be on any other TV show, currently airing or long gone, which would you pick?
YvetteNBrown: That's easy… Cosby Show!
Guest-276: Hey Yvette you are a Christian woman like Shirley
YvetteNBrown: Yes, i am! Hopefully a bit less judgmental, though.
Guest-132: To piggyback off of Guest 42's question. Have you picked up on any of your costars mannerisms/sayings? If so who & what?
YvetteNBrown: I've started using chapstick and that's Danny's FAVORITE thing in the world next to his family.
Guest-146: I have to ask...do the ladies in the cast enjoy it when joel takes off his shirt? Or is it just me?
YvetteNBrown: Yes, we ladies enjoy it. And some of the guys do too, I suspect!
Guest-258: Do you have any awesome plans for the off season?
YvetteNBrown: I'm an awesome sleeper! So I look forward to sleeping a LOT!
Guest-253: I'm sorry for not joining the chat earlier, I've been crying a lot thanks to the finale. How was shooting it, Yvette? Was it as emotional to you as it was for us? Hugs from Venezuela!
YvetteNBrown: Hello to Venezuela! I hope those were happy tears! Yes, the last day of every season has been emotional to some extent, but we always know that we'll see each other over hiatus…or when the show ultimately ends so it's not truly sad, sad. Just "See ya soon" sad.
Guest-124: How was it being such a badass in the pillow fight?
YvetteNBrown: I love when Shirley gets to show her RAGE! I don't know what that says about me. LOL!
Guest-312: who thought of the video game episode? that was GENIUS and so unlike anything else out there right now! love Community!!
YvetteNBrown: Dan Harmon was the genius behind that!
Guest-228: Any advice you could give to an aspiring actor such as myself? Garrett again.
YvetteNBrown: I wrote a long blog about breaking into the business on my website www.yvettenicolebrown.com and on facebook. Hope it helps!
Guest-27: If you could write an episode, what would you like to see the characters, especially Shirley, do?
YvetteNBrown: I'd write an episode where the girls get the work together. I miss the capers we used to get into in the first season.
Guest-307: I watch Community just because I want to see you acting, I love yoy since Drake & Josh! Helen (l) Hugs from Argentina!
YvetteNBrown: Hugs TO Argentina! Thank you, Sweetie! I had a blast working on Drake & Josh. I'm so glad you enjoyed our silliness. Those guys (cast/crew/staff) are family to me just like the Community gang!
Guest-102: Do know the tv show Twin Peaks from the 90s? I think Community could do a great parody/reference to that show. I'm sure Abed knows all about it. ;D
YvetteNBrown: Great Idea! I've heard fans have started figuring out which of us should play who. That'd be great!
Guest-82: As a Christian, I love how Community shows both the bad and good sides of learning to live out our faith. How do you think Shirley has grown as a Christian over the course of the show?
YvetteNBrown: I like that too. Lord knows Christians aren't perfect. I'd hate to play one that thought she was. LOL! Shirley has softened these past few seasons and learned how to love unconditionally the way God encourages.
Guest-63: When I went to Paramount Studios for a tour, you were nice enough to say hi to me and my friends! I want to thank you for that, definitely made my day! Love you as Shirly, you are absolutely hilarious!
YvetteNBrown: Aww, pumpkin! Thanks for that kind message! It was my pleasure! Hope you enjoyed the tour!
Guest-84: Yvette, I have to say, I always think you look great and snappy in your clothes, whether on the show or from your Twitter. It makes me feel better knowing larger ladies can rock the looks and that I shouldn't be afraid to either. The world needs more beautiful celebs like you. :'D
YvetteNBrown: LOL! Larger lady for the WIN!!! I'm literally chuckling at that description. Thank you. Sincerely!
xmen4ever8290: Do you know why the last episode of this season seemed like the series finale? It breaks my heart thinking that my favorite show is going to end! Would you ever do a Community movie?
YvetteNBrown: Basically we didn't know what the future held for the show. Dan and the writers wanted to make sure you guys had a satisfying end if it was the end. But happily….blessedly… it wasn't the end! YAY! And sure I'd do a community movie!
Guest-87: Yvette, who would be your ideal guest star for next season?
YvetteNBrown: I've been hoping for Sandra Bullock. But after Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Betty White I don't wanna be greedy.
Guest-269: Hey Yvette! Follow you on Twitter and you seem like a genuinely nice person. Love you in Community and loved you in Drake and Josh! Do you ever see either of them anymore?
YvetteNBrown: I see the Drake & Josh gang all the time. A lot of them are working on iCarly and Victorious. And I visit those sets all the time.
Guest-316: Greetings from the UK! What has been your favourite musical scene in the show thus far? I loved the "Finally Be Fine" number from the start of season 3. - Ash
YvetteNBrown: I loved "Sensible Night" from season one! I thought the lyrics Dan Harmon wrote were hilarious!
Guest-243: Hi Yvette, it's Taylah here! . You know I was a big defender of the Jeff and Shirley "evil friendship of awesome", and I was SO HAPPY to see it making a comeback this year! It feels like this season rather than being evil together they kinda bring the best out of each other and understand each other a lot (beautiful scene between the two of them in this season finale!) Have you liked this shift on their relationship or do you prefer when they're a bit meaner together?
YvetteNBrown: Hey Taylah!!! I love the shift because it means we get to play together more often… it took this long for us to have more episodes together because we were so TOXIC before! LOL!
YvetteNBrown: NEWSFLASH! Joel just tweeted taht "Six Seasons And A Movie" is trending worldwide! Thanks to those of you who made that happen!!!
YvetteNBrown: Further newsflash… sorry for typos!
Guest-122: Did you ever dream that Community would be such a big thing?
YvetteNBrown: I hope that folks would love to watch our shenanigans but I never dreamed we would be blessed with so many folks that would don felt goatees, sing in country-wide flash mobs and vote in online polls until their fingers bled. That's a blessing I never could have imagined and I'm so grateful for each and every one of you guys! Communies ROCK!!!
Guest-374: Yvette, you are amazing. i truly love you and your character and you have an amazing voice. everything youve done for to show is truly inspiring. Community will be remebered as the greatest, most ambitious show in TV history. you wont believe the amount of fans the show have here in Israel. now, if i may ask, do you think the show appeal to a certain crowd? and besides, what is next for you? thank you for everything.
YvetteNBrown: Thanks for all of that and HELLO to Israel! I don't think the show appeal to a certain crowd. I think every type of person and group is loved and made fun of on community. That makes it a show for EVERYONE! When everyone's a misfit, no one is!
Guest-146: I love what the ladies wear on the show! Any chance at getting a clothing sponsor...who wouldn't run out and buy britta's leather jacket!...ok well I would, I'd run.
YvetteNBrown: Be forewarned, Britta wears a lot of Prada! LOL! Most of my clothes are from anthropologie, Rachel Pally or Macy's. Alison wears a lot of Urban Outfitters on the show. Happy shopping!
avadakedalek: Hey! I love your work, Yvette! You are so beautiful inside and out! I am so glad that I get this chance to talk to you! It is such an honor! I'm so glad to know that you still hang out with the Drake and Josh cast! I was wondering how your faith is affected with fame?
YvetteNBrown: Thanks! Nice to talk to you too! My faith guides my career. Every decision is filtered through that lens. I want to make good decisions and be a part of work that uplifts and makes folks happy.
Guest-299: What's been your favorite of the deens crazy costumes?
YvetteNBrown: I love the "Can-can-cancelled" outfit! He looked lovely!
Guest-285: Any pranks you've pulled or been a victim of on set? I love you!!
YvetteNBrown: Donald has been the biggest prankster. The season 2 DVD outtakes show him doing an entire take of a scene with his bum exposed. Everyone knew except me. And they were all waiting for me… Prudy McPrude…to notice.
Guest-294: Yvette, you're awesome and I love you and everyone on Community! Who's your favorite couple pairing on the show?
YvetteNBrown: The Dean and Jeff for sure!
Guest-149: As sort of an addition to the question on religion, I just wanna say Shirley as a character, and you (based on stuff I've seen on Twitter) are very inspirational to someone who struggles with faith and how to reconcile it to my personal beliefs and stuff like that. So thanks for that. Any advice to someone who struggles with the occasional crisis of faith? -Tyler
YvetteNBrown: Just be still and know. That's biblical. I've known God to always be peace. Chase peace above all things and you will always find God.
YvetteNBrown: God bless you, Tyler!
Guest-269: As a fellow former Midwesterner, do you get back to Ohio very often?
YvetteNBrown: I do! I try to get back to Cleveland at least two times a year. I was just back last week speaking to the kids at my old high school, Warrensville Heights High! I had a blast!!!
avadakedalek: Oh. my brother told me to ask you if you would marry him? He's loved you since Drake & Josh. Oh boy.
YvetteNBrown: Sure. As long as he's over 30.
Guest-27: All the way from Australia, Were you surprised at the cult status Community has reached around the world?
YvetteNBrown: Hi TO Australia! Yes, I continue to be SHOCKED by it! Sidebar: I hope to visit Australia someday… it's one of my big dreams.
Guest-358: What was your favorite part of these last three episodes of community?
YvetteNBrown: I don't wanna be spoiler-rific… because some folks in the chat haven't seen all three episodes yet. But the 'heist" episode was a favorite to shoot.
Guest-122: What are your favorite shows to watch other than the ones you've been on? Haha
YvetteNBrown: I love Scandal, Revenge, Blue Bloods, Veep, Girls, Once Upon A Time, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, Hot in Cleveland… I could go on and on...
Guest-110: Hey Yvette. What has been your biggest moment since you've been in Hollywood? I'm sure there's many, but what comes to mind right away? <3 Mia M P.S. I'm loving all this love you're getting from all over the world! AWESOME
YvetteNBrown: I think going home to talk to the kids at my old school because it meant I had accomplished something big enough for them to have me back and for the kids to listen. Going back to speak was something I dreamed about when I was still in school. What an honor to be able to share your journey with the next generation. There's nothing like it.
Guest-30: Are you tired?
YvetteNBrown: Right now? Or in general. Right now I'm good. Thanks for asking! When we're filming 16 hour days 5 days a week… YES!
Guest-124: Okay, I need to know this: I know you all are amazing actors, but HOW can you keep a straight face when Donald/Troy is crying/freaking out? I wouldn't be able to do it, so congratulations on that lol (and on everything, really)
YvetteNBrown: Who says we do? Often the take that makes it on the air isn't the best take, it's just the one they could use. And not just Donald. Jim Rash and Ken Jeong have been known to crack us up too. The tag where the dean is singing to Troy and Abed they had to cut away from each of us before we laughed when they edited it. I'm still almost lasting in my take.
Guest-13: Do agree with Gillian that it is almost impossible to keep a straight face when Jim Rash is delivering his lines??
YvetteNBrown: Yep! Jim studied with the Groundlings he is comedy GENIUS! No telling what he will say or do.
Guest-294: Who is your favorite musical artist? And, on a random note, how do celebrities feel about dating fans?
YvetteNBrown: Are you asking me out? Are you over 30? tee hee… favorite musical artist of all time? That's hard. SO many Gladys Knight, Ledisi, Switch, New Edition, The O'jays, Jason Mraz, Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Cece Winans, Donna Summer… who we just lost today (may she rest in peace). So many!
Guest-269: I see from IMDB that you have had a lot of guest starring roles on television shows. Any role in particular your favorite or is there one that stands out to you?
YvetteNBrown: The one I'm playing now: Shirley!
Guest-146: what was it like on set after Jim won the oscar? And how do you feel about the show being shut out at the emmy's?
YvetteNBrown: I was overjoyed for Jim! So well deserved. And I think everything happens for a reason. I'd love for the show to be recognized in some way by the awards system… but with the fans we have, asking for awards on top of that love seems a bit greedy.
Guest-335: will there be more andre?
YvetteNBrown: I hope so! But Malcolm has his own show on BET, that's why we only had him for one episode this year. If possible, I hope we can have him back next season. I love when he's on set!
Guest-412: Yvette, I remember hearing you say that everyone know's its "#sixseasonsandamovie" But you wanted it to be "Four Seasons & A Graduation" Why is that?
YvetteNBrown: I didn't say I wanted that, I said I'd be happy with that. Danny and I were filming a "please save our show" video for USA Today and that's just something silly we came up with as a consolation prize. Like "C'mon! At least let us graduate!" LOL! It was seriously said. Either way, whatever is meant to be, will be.
avadakedalek: Are you feeling any better? I know you had a crazy day with twitter today... I was worried! Don't let anyone bring you down! God bless you, beautiful You are such an inspiration, and I know I said this already but a great role model to women like me!
YvetteNBrown: Aww, thanks! I am much better. And please know that no matter what I tweet I'm always okay. It's just twitter. I just don't understand rudeness… especially from strangers. It's just easier to be nice. My tweets are meant to just remind folks of that. And it's my goal to always be kind when I get them TOLD! Lol!
Guest-180: I remember seeing you in "The Office". What was it like to work with Rainn Wilson? Sidebar: Community is the best TV show I've ever seen.
YvetteNBrown: Rainn was such a generous actor. He's super funny but his gift is that he's not selfish. He wants everyone else to get as many laughs as he does. And that's not always the case with super funny folks. I loved working with him and Steve Carrell good folks!
Guest-405: Greetings from the Philippines! I love you. I love the show. We're still on season 1 and 2 here though. 1st season in the morning, and at night. Believe it or not, I find myself saying "Thats nice" almost everyday. What was the most difficult thing you did in the entire series and why? - @jasonreyes00
YvetteNBrown: Hello TO the Philippines! Thank you! The most difficult thing to do is to keep a straight face when my cast mates are SO hilarious. I have ruined MANY takes with giggling!
Guest-319: Your singing voice in the holiday episode a few years back was extraordinary. Any chance we will get to hear an album from you?
YvetteNBrown: Aww, Thanks! I really only sing now in the shower, in my car and in the pew at church unless an acting role calls for it. So though I'd never say never, it'd have to be a word from God that got me behind a mic professionally again. LOL!
Guest-122: What is something random about you that not many people know?
YvetteNBrown: I love puzzles. They are so relaxing! Whenever I get a few days of uninterrupted freem time I'm doing a puzzle. Corny, I know! LOL!
Guest-349: Hey Yvette! love Shirley and the show. Malcolm-Jamal Warner was very cool in the episode he did for this season. Question. What is your all-time favorite episode of the Cosby Show?
YvetteNBrown: The one with Gordon Gartrelle shirt! Denise tells Theo to tuck it in and he says thru clenched teeth "It's tucked into my SOCKS!" Comedy GOLD!
Guest-400: Loved Shirley in facial hair. Again. Are you afraid the writers might find reasons to put Shirley in a beard the same way they put Jim Rash in bizarre costumes. And how about a Best Buy kiosk at Greendale.
YvetteNBrown: I think I make a fine looking man just as Jim makes a pretty woman. That's the reasoning behind it… I think? LOL! And a Best Buy kiosk at Greendale would be awesome as long as I got to use all the goods they sold for free! LOL!
bricatfree: Love you and love the show! (Side note: Could you tell Donald that I'm in love with him?! Hahaha) Do you think Annie and Jeff should be together (eventually)?
YvetteNBrown: Consider it done! LOL! And I think Greendale is more about the relationship of the whole study group with each other. Aside from that any pairing is in the hands and minds of Dan and the writers. I have no preference.
Guest-14: First, thank you for representing the BBW out in the world. I'd marry you if I could. Second, any hopes on Malcolm Jamal Warner returning next season?
YvetteNBrown: Are you over 30? Seriously, thanks! And I hope Malcolm will be back. We'll see!
Guest-124: I would like to thank you for being so sweet to your fans! It's amazing that you're taking your time to answer our questions, I wish every celebrity were like you! Lots of sucess to you and the show, because you both deserve it.
YvetteNBrown: Aww, shucks! That was sweet! It's the least I can do for all you guys have given to us! It's not a small thing that you love and support us as you do! We're all so grateful. A Q&A is nothing compared to THAT! God Bless!
Guest-334: Any hidden talents you have?
YvetteNBrown: I can curl my tongue like 3 or 4 different ways. And my left wrist was broken so I can bend my left thumb in directions it really shouldn't go. How's that?
Guest-233: What's your favorite costume you've had on? also what's your favorite that a castmate wore? Thanks for a wonderful season!
YvetteNBrown: My favorite is "Sam Jackson/Jules" from Pulp Fiction. Of the others… Gillian's (Stink's) squirrel costume from halloween season one is pretty stinkin' cute… see what I did there? Stinkin' cute!
Guest-79: If you had to go back to college and could only bring one member of the cast with you, who would it be?
YvetteNBrown: Danny. Because he's cuddly. And he'd sing songs and dance for me when I was stressed out by classes. He's like a toy!
Guest-319: What's one assumption people make about you that you wish they wouldn't?
YvetteNBrown: That because I'm kind that I'm dumb, weak or foolish. I promise I'm NONE of those things.
Guest-30: Did you have dinner yet? Anyway, love to you, the show, and every contributor to the show, and I hope you have a good night.
YvetteNBrown: Mom, is that you? tee hee. Yes, I had dinner before I started the chat. I was well fed and well rested before I started the chat. LOL! Thanks for the message and I hope you have a good night, too!
Guest-269: When you mentioned puzzles earlier, did you mean like crosswords ones or jigsaw ones?
YvetteNBrown: Jigsaw, baby! Thought Crosswords and Suduku are fun too. But Jigsaw puzzles are my thing!
Guest-294: Yvette, I just want to thank you so much for doing this. You seem like such a genuinely nice person and the fact that you are taking time out of your day to talk to fans is awesome. Thank you <3
YvetteNBrown: My pleasure, darlin!
Guest-371: Love Community and You! Do you know what's going on the outtakes this season? i really love seening how you guys interacting and play with each other
YvetteNBrown: Aww, love you back! And we never know what the cameras have caught until we see the bloopers on the DVD when you guys do… unless it's something that needs our approval…like Donald's bum being out. They sent that to me in advance to make sure I was okay with that being on DVD.
Guest-79: Who messes up their lines the most while shooting?
YvetteNBrown: we all are guilty of that. But Ken Jeong probably makes himself laugh the most, thus messing up his own lines. LOL!
Guest-319: If Shirley was given her own spinoff, what would you want that to look like?
YvetteNBrown: Shirley and Andre raising their kids. I bet that household is dysfunctional! LOL!
Guest-16: Do you think you guys could pull off a live episode with all of the off-camera shenanigans from Ken, Donald, Jim, and the rest of the goofball cast?
YvetteNBrown: We would never survive it! We all laugh TOO much at each other as it is. A live episode would be 22 minutes of all of going "Sorry. Okay. Pull it together. Here we go. We can DO this! Focus. And a one two three…" it would NEVER work! But that said, I'd be game to try and mess up LIVE repeatedly for all you guys to see! LOL!
Guest-400: When I watch episodes for the 2nd or 3rd time I look for things the cast does in the background. There's usually a funny action or something bizarre going on. Is that written in the script or is it something the cast and the director work out on set.
YvetteNBrown: It's usually something we're doing to make someone else who's on camera laugh. Like "Chang tongue" that Ken does. He does that in the background of numerous scenes just to see if we'll notice. It's on full display in the courtroom in the Law and Order episode.
Guest-363: Hi, Hey, what's up, who's you're favourite character on the show outside of the study group? I love Garrett & Vaughn was great as well.
YvetteNBrown: I really like Vicki, played by my buddy Danielle. She's fiesty and unpredictable. And she's a perfect example of how our show works. If you're on once you're almost sure to return. Greendale is like that. Danielle had one line in the election episode and has done like 10 episodes since. I also love Leonard. That Richard Erdman is a national treasure! Charley Koontz who plays Fat Neil is a favorite too. We've been blessed with our guest stars and co-stars! Ooh and Luke Youngblood as Magnitude… i could go on and on! Wait, I did! LOL!
Guest-334: Which place would you most want to go for a dream vacation, and who would you take with you?
YvetteNBrown: I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, Paris or Australia. And I'd probably take my mom especially if it was out of the country because she has a passport that's stamp-less right now and that HAS to be fixed!
Guest-418: Which is you favorite Halloween episode?
YvetteNBrown: I really loved the ghost stories from this season. It was a lot of fun shooting all the vignettes and we got to hear "Daybreak" by Michael Haggis for the first time. And Heaven knows that's been the gift that keeps on giving!
Guest-390: Hi Yvette! I love Community! What is a typical day on the set like?
YvetteNBrown: Starts at 5;30am for the girls on Monday and goes for about 16 hours with lots of laughs and foolishness in between! That's the short version.
Guest-196: If you could make a Shirley sandwich. What would be on it? Thanks again for doing this!!!! Six seasons and a movie!!!!
YvetteNBrown: Pepper or Jerk turkey by boarshead. spicy hummus on potato bread. Simple.
Guest-233: Thinking of doing a squirrel costume like Gillian's. Any advice?
YvetteNBrown: Get a wonderful costume designer like our fabulous Sabrina to get it made for you!
Guest-412: What's your favorite Shirley moment on the show. And what do you think is the best thing about Shirley's personality?
YvetteNBrown: Any moment with Andre. And I love that Shirley is so loving and forgiving. She's truly a good egg… flaws and all.
Guest-426: Has being Shirley ruined "that's nice" for you?
YvetteNBrown: Not at all. I actually just said it while I was driving the other day when someone let someone else merge
Guest-319: Love you, Yvette! What's your favorite food?
YvetteNBrown: Bacon!
Guest-149: I know it's not a question, but I'm probably going to have to leave soon, so I just wanted to send my gratitude =) Jumping on the bandwagon here a little bit to thank you for everything. For your time here today, and for all the awesome stuff on the show, and just for being awesome! #sixseasonsandamovie
YvetteNBrown: Thanks for chatting!
Guest-180: Are your fellow cast members still making fun of you during the DVD commentaries? Have you heard if there will be Blu-ray releases? Thanks so much for talking to us!
YvetteNBrown: Always! And we don't know about a blu-ray release yet. Fingers crossed!
Guest-269: The fact you said jigsaw puzzles makes me love you even more! Are you a 1000 piece gal, or more or less pieces?
YvetteNBrown: I do 1000 pieces if I've really got time to focus. But 750 is my usual.
Guest-416: Why do you call Gillian Jacobs stink?
YvetteNBrown: I'll never tell!
Guest-196: What is the one food you CANNOT live without?
YvetteNBrown: potatoes
Guest-370: If you could be another character on the show (man or woman), who would you want to play and why?
YvetteNBrown: Probably Troy. He has a beautiful mind!
avadakedalek: I love how Community is so relatable! I am a weird combination of Shirley and Annie for sure, but I know that everyone can find a little bit of themselves in all of the characters. I saw in a clip that you know about the fan art and fiction from the fans? Do you have a favorite piece that you have seen?
YvetteNBrown: I know about the fan fic, but I don't read it. I'm saving all that for when the show ends and I miss the Greendale gang. As for the fan art, it is AMAZING! I see it all and I try to retweet as much of it as I can!
Guest-319: What lasting legacy do you want to leave as a person?
YvetteNBrown: Kindness, joy and faith. If folks thought of me as a person who did her best to embody those three things I would feel like my life was well spent.
Guest-387: Howdy, it's Chels725 from Twitter. Just wanted so say the eps were great tonight & brought me to tears! Congrats on a wonderful season.
YvetteNBrown: Thanks, Chels!
Guest-294: How did the whole "Daybreak" thing start?
YvetteNBrown: I think they just looked for a smooth jazz kinda song for the scene and "Daybreak" won out. That it's been featured over and over is a testament to how much we, the cast, love it. Every other time you've heard it, I don't think it's been scripted.
Guest-82: Favorite animal?
YvetteNBrown: I was born in August, so I've gotta go with lions.
Guest-335: will you and troy have an arc together?
YvetteNBrown: Gosh, I hope so. I've been begging for that for three seasons. The only time Troy and Shirley have spoken to each other away from the group is in the first season paintball battle. How crazy is that?!
Guest-244: Congratulations on another wonderful season Yvette. Any idea if we'll see a season 3 soundtrack? I'd love to hear full versions of the songs from the Christmas/Glee episode.
YvetteNBrown: Good question. I don't actually know. But that would be great! I'm rooting for it!
Guest-376: What's your ideal ending for Shirley? Love the show!
YvetteNBrown: A degree she's proud of and a loving family life.
Guest-334: What do you like to do in your free time? So cool chatting with you. Coolcoolcool!
YvetteNBrown: Nap! And spend time with family and friends. The simple things!
Guest-79: Who do you think was the funniest guest star this season?
YvetteNBrown: Way too many to name. But John Hodgmand sticks out as a favorite!
Guest-418: Loving your tweeter feeds. How was the dialogue like during you Dungeon & Dragons episode, did you make stuff up?
YvetteNBrown: No, it was all scripted! But we did have fun acting out what they wrote!
Guest-449: which character from the show could the world most use more people like?
YvetteNBrown: I'd say Shirley, of course. She's very loving and wants what's fair for everybody.
YvetteNBrown: But I'm biased… lol!
bricatfree: Thank you so much for doing this, Yvette!
YvetteNBrown: No, thank YOU guys!
Guest-435: my name is yvette brown
YvetteNBrown: Hi, Yvette Brown!
YvetteNBrown: Guys, this has been a blast! Thanks for taking time from finale night to hang out with me! Please remember that Best Buy has got some great deals on season one and season two of the show and you can pre-order season three and be the first to have it when it comes out later this summer! Thanks to Best Buy and Sony Pictures Entertainment for setting this up! Have a great night guys! I'm off to watch the THREE new episodes from tonight!!! Can't Wait! GOD BLESS! xoxo YvetteHere ya go!

Have DW CS5, Local IIS 7 (Win 7 64x) testing server (Server Model: PHP MySQL) set up and working. External browsers render .html files with PHP fine (URL=http://localhost/testphp.html), DW Live View will not parse/display the PHP with ".html" extension. No ".htaccess" file, DW PHP Tag Library has all PHP "Used In:" boxes checked. Example:

How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
Thanks in advance, have spent 2 days trying to accomplish!
SteveFile name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is not PHP code
The red code part should read as to be classified as PHP script
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Apart from the same mistake as above, this file will not be recognised as containing PHP without the PHP extension. You can setup the server to accept HTML and to interpret same as PHP, but I would not recommend this.
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
This is amazing! With the code above? If you hadn't told me I would not have believed it. I tried it on my humble setup and you are correct. It works using the PHP file but not the HTML file. It doesn't matter, it is still not correct.
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
It is not up to DW to determine, it is the PHP server that determines whether PHP in an HTML file will be shown. Have a look here http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/p/html_php.htm .Once again, I do not recommend this
I hope this helps.
