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:
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.

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

Mardin wrote our Post of the Week- and supplied his own answer! Mardin was set to leave Verizon and go to another provider and put in a request to have his phone number ported over. However, he changed his mind and decided to stay as a Verizon customer (good choice ) and, unfortunately, found his phone number in limbo. Find out how he solved this here.

Thanks Heather. Your up late.
Sometimes half the issue is figuring out the question. I guess I figured it out.
Justin. You sure are thorough in your explanations and support!
Now I could not get to PJLs explanation. Must be Lithium.
Kudos to all. And to Remodb for such a large number of Kudos. Someone figured out my secrete. Good Ideas really rack up those numbers. People really must want that content.

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.

First off, happy New Year!

Interesting...
My Beatles - 1 uploaded 11 tracks.
I can second the results for Petra's Unseen Power
My Pink Floyd - Division Bell uploaded 4 tracks: 1, 3, 10 and 11.
"You Don't Love Me Anymore" matched for me.
The Kinks' - Come Dancing With the Kinks tracks 2, 12 and 16 were uploaded. 1, 3, 9 and 10 matched. I do not own the rest.
I have lots of unreleased albums and demos so I uploaded nearly half of my library, which I fully expected to have to do. A few matches / uploads that surprised me:
The handful of ACDC I have matched except for "Thunderstruck".
Green Day's "Waiting" from International Superhits did not match.
All Star United - International Anthems For The Human Race matched 6 out of 11 tracks. The album is not on iTunes. 3, 6, 7, 9 and 11 were uploaded.
Jackson Browne - The Pretender tracks 1, 2, 3 and 8 were uploaded.
Jackson Browne - World In Motion "I Am A Patriot" had to be uploaded.
"The Living Years" and "Silent Running" from Mike & the Mechanics matched and are not in iTunes.
"Best I Can" from Queensryche's Empire did not match.
"Try Not To Breathe" from R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People did not match.
Tracks 1 and 10 from Bob Seger's Greatest Hits matched; the rest were uploaded.
Slaughter - The Wild Life tracks 1 and 14 were uploaded.
"Two Princes" from Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite was uploaded.
"Ace In The Hole" from George Strait - Strait Out Of The Box was uploaded.
"The Smartest Monkeys" from XTC - Nonsuch was uploaded.
There are others, but those are the most suprising.

I think Justin's picture should have won this one. Really I am not being modest! If I wanted I could have a Rev. E on one Channel, the first Rev. I on another Channel, the Second Rev. I on the third channel, and the 300N on the forth channel. I think I would need to figure out the overlap and spread them out, just to mess up the Neighbors.
Don't even ask how I ended up with two Rev. I Actiontec routers. The Rev. E I was told to dispose of, but at one time it was fine for a MOCA bridge. Now I have no MOCA.

In iCal I have double October 2012 (one instead of November) and no have March in 2013. Why?

In iCal I have 2 October 2012 (one instead of November) and no have March in 2013.
Mac Ox 10.5.8, iCal 3.0.8 (1287), Russian locale
So seems that other month's names moved
So now in Ical ( month view) i have: October, October, November, December, January, February, April
moreover( оr as result) in February ICal shows 30 days

Hi Satish,
In the css file, you should have a 'text-align' property set to 'center' for the BEx Table cell element. I'm not sure of the exact element name, maybe you can check. Also check if you can open the file in notepad if the MS VS format is not ok with you.

HT201269 My latest back up was on March 14th, 2013. My boyfriend has been using my Apple ID so we are linked on iCloud. Just recently we got each others contacts and now we get each others messages. Will that setting be changed if I switch phones without

Okay, so I cracked my iPhone 5 and just got a new 5s in the mail. I'm using the same number, sim and everything. My latest backup was on March 14th, 2013. My boyfriend uses my Apple ID for a year now but we just recently got each others contacts and now we receive each other's messages. Will we lose that setting if I don't back my phone up before switching new phones? Cause I didn't have that setting before when it was last backed up. If I could back it up I would but I don't have nearly enough storage so that's why I'm asking lol. We want to keep the setting like that so we still get each others contacts and everything

You can always resync the Contacts, Notes, and Messages by signing into those services with the same AppleID once you have the new phone set up.

What is the update number causing this issue?
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?
For more support for VMware products, a better place is the VMware forums, as this forum is for Windows 8.x Hyper-V. (

No Numbers after March Lync 2013 Client update

Hi,
We have problems with the EWS sync after applying the March Lync 2013 client update. All contacts are synced from the users private contacts folder but no numbers are shown. After removing the update it is working fine again. We are not using UCS as
we are still on Exchange 2010.
Any ideas?
Kristian

I didn’t have this problem when I installed the update.
Did you download the update from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42232 or
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42249?
Please check if this issue happens to other users.

Thank you, jtktlw, for detailing such thorugh step-by-step instructions on connecting your Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router.
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!
