  Could someone please clean up those unsightly "Moved" posts from the Welcome & FAQ forum?

  I deleted them all since the most recent was several weeks old.  That doesn't, however, mean that more won't be added as questions are mistakely placed there and then moved to the proper board.  Perhaps your earlier suggestion of locking it as an announcement-only board is one that we should consider.

• Writting from Adobe's Forum Vs Google Groups

  Hi all!
  Does anybody know why if I post a replay from gloogle groups
  [macromedia.dreamweaver] it won’t show it in Adobe’s
  Dreamweaver forums? It doesn’t happen vice verse. Any idea?

  I didn't check your links, but here's the LAW -
  Posts to anything OTHER than forums.macromedia.com, or the
  adobe webforums
  WILL NOT SHOW UP ON THESE FORUMS... ever. Sadly, it happens
  much too
  frequently that posts to forums.macromedia.com also do not
  show up on the
  webforums, and we all get to spend a troubling 24 hours while
  this ponderous
  ship of state wanders into iceberg territory, and sometimes
  even falls off
  the edge....
  Us newsgroup users/posters all read AND post to
  forums.macromedia.com.

  Hi,
  I have had bt broadband opt3 for almost 3 months now and have always had a healthy 9mb+ connection, however have noticed it being very slow in the evening when I come home from work, I checked the speed last nite as iplayer was constantly freezing and was getting 1mb . A bit upset by this as I got bt broadband to play my ps3 online and to get faster speeds on my laptop, and I use these services mostly at nite.
  I checked my speed this morning and was getting 11mb, is this normal or am I being capped I cant believe Id be going over my download limit. Can someone from bt get back to me on this?
  Thanks
  John

  Yes Alison, I think I can see that now. I wouldnt mind if broadband was a bit slower at peak times, I know thats normal, but when I'm only getting 1mb when my max is 14mb, I just dont feel I'm getting what I pay for. And when it gets to the point where I cant watch iplayer without it stuttering everywhere and online games lagging on the ps3, this is certainly not what I'm paying for.
  I was hoping one of the mods here would help me and check my line and see if there is any cap on the line and get it removed.
  I really dont wanna phone India, I deal with them 5 days a week as is...
  Think I will just send one of the mods an email to check my line and see if it is being capped or if somethings wrong.

  You will never get decent speeds on Iplayer,
  BT limit it because they want you to subscribe to their precious BT Vision service.
  The only way you are guaranteed to get decent speeds on BT is to subscibe to BT Vision and also unlimited broadband.
  Then you will get priority when you stream TV at your exchange unlike fighting it out with all the other broadband users as you currently are for the available bandwith.the more over subscribed your local exchange the worse it is

  Hi John,
  I can take a look at the network side of things for you, to see if there is anything I can do to help improve your speed during peak periods. Please could you drop me an email with your BT account details? Please also include a link to this thread. It would also be very helpful if you could run a few speed tests using www.speedtester.bt.com when you feel your Broadband is running slow. I can then check those results from here.
  Thanks

  Well John i'll tell you what it is...
  First of all welcome to BT and I hope you'll enjoy 18months of pain and suffer.
  OK here it goes....
  If you look at your contract, find a rule that says Fair Usage Policy.
  Basically it states that BT will cap anyone that is abusing their lines.
  However, it does not say what are the limits after which you are going to be capped for how long and at what times. (I'll come back to this later and explain)
  If you ring 08007076044 I'm sure that someone will confirm my theory. As constant 1MBit between 6PM till 11/12 PM is actually FUP applied on to your account.
  Ok time to explain my frustration about FUP.
  Since I signed my contract with "lovely" BT for constant 4 months I had similar issue but it took me even longer to find out what is going on and how to deal with this problem (thanks to google).
  FUP team states that if you exceed 100GB in a month (everyone will admit that these days 100GB is nothing when a single game for PS3/XBox360/PC sometimes is more than 5GB and 1080p film is about 12GB) will cap you for a month at peak times to outstanding and superfast 1Mbit (about 130-150KB/s).
  I'be been watching my download and for few months never exceeded that 100GB in a month. Been ringing FUP team to verify when suddenly they told me that from (cant remember exactly) March FUP will apply only to accounts that are using Torrents and other P2P.
  you won't believe how happy I was hearing that.... So i've started to download and next month guess what.... 1Mbit connection.
  Really mad rang FUP team and asked them what on earth is going on. They confirmed that its only P2P and I've explained them that I only use Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Rapidshare, Steam and XBox Live, Beatport (just don't understand how ppl can use torrents and other P2P as they are just way to slow). So they were happy to take the cap off my broadband connection.
  Next month same issue solved exactly the same way.
  After that for consecutive few months I had no problem whatsoever until September where FUP Team said that there is no such thing and FUP applies to everyone.
  So just want to say that BT is rubbish that can't keep their word.
  I went to one of the sales advisor in the shopping centre and asked him how FUP works as it does not say in the contract "how, when, who and what".
  So he said that policy is applied based on amount of files downloaded within that 100GB. So if I download e.g. 3x 50GB (although its 150GB altogether) files I wont be affected but 100x 1GB will put a cap on me.
  I've been so curious if what he said was right and started to download 2x 60GB and guess what... Got frigging FUP placed on my account!!!.
  I've got 2months left with them and will be extremely happy to cancel my contract, moreover, I will do everything in my power to sue them under EU Consumer Rights Law (that states that contract should be clear and fair to both sides) as Fair Usage Policy is one of those things that allows BT to do anything they want to their customers;
  1. No clear explanation of what FUP is.
  2. Does not states the amount of downloaded data required to have cap on the acount
  3. Does not states for how long it will be applied
  4. Does not states when it will be applied
  If you look at e.g. Virgin Broadband everything is clearly written in nice and understandable way. It warns you at what times FUP will be applied under what circumstances and for how long. Isn't it what we all want to know??

  @Mateusz I think I maybe a victim of this outragous stint BT have done. I have 2 XBOX 360's running on XBOX Live, 2 Desktop PCs connected to the web constantly, and 3 laptops, we have a torrent sharing running and World Of Warcraft on one of the PCs. All of this is shared across a 6 person family. How can a family where two members goto to college and university do their college ork, download application such as VB.net do their coursework and revise without the hassle of a **** connection. Seriously BT get your ******* head outta your **** and stop this ********, we are customers, we pay for what we are offered. When I signed up several years ago I could download everything on the net woithout infracions on my line being set in motion. You altered my contract without telling me. You will lose custom from this. Also you have ****** my wireless

  You lot are lucky, We wish we could be capped to 1mbit. Our IP profile is capped to 500kbit because BT say the line isn't good enough for anything more. We are paying for option3 up to 8mbit and BT have said we must continue to pay for it for the remainder of the contract, or buy ourselves out of it early, the reason they give.... Up to 8mbit means up to 8mbit. If you dont get 8mbit then TOUGH LUCK SUCKERS!!
  The outcome? We feel like we've been turned over by a dodgey second hand car salesman called BT. The internet deal he flogged us was a dog, a ringer, it wasn't cosher and certainly had a false MOT certificate.

  Hi Amanda,
  Why have you joined BT Option 3 when you can not get what BT can offer?
  No pun intended but you are a bit of a sucker for paying high prices where other suppliers are cheaper and can provide what your line can support.

  we moved house last october to this one, the connection was rubbish from the get-go, BT said the router was broken and we needed a new one, we said OK. That "OK" meant that we had entered into a new contract for option 3 same as out old one. The router wasn't broken, the new one didnt fix or improve the problem, we have since asked for a price reduction or compensation and been told "no". we are in contract and can pay to buy ourselves out of it if we like but otherwise we have to pay for option 3 and recieve fixed rate 500kb.

  Hi Amanda,
  I think you'll find that the Hold To Term rules have changed. BT are now unable to charge you for the account if you no longer require it. It is against OFCOM's rulings for a company to make more money out of you as a leaving customer than an existing one. However, You will need to pay for the connection charge (if that has not expired it's original differed contract) which is £40. A cancellation fee of £25 if you are simply cancelling and not migrating using a MAC key and for any hardware. The Routers are advertised at £88 and i would suggest that if they believed on to be faulty then that would be replaced under guarantee and not be put on a differed basis. I would check exactly what they say the are charging you and query this through OFCOM. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/

  Months of impecable service form BT as an option 3 customer. (I've even recommended BT to people)
  but
  For the past 2 weeks peak traffic has murdered my connection.
  I can get 14mbit off peak, and it used to drop to about 7-9 at peak times.
  Now its down to 1-2mbit at peak times. (no i haven't breached FUP as I check my btinternet inbox for the 80GB warning)
  I think its resonable to experience drop off but 90%!!!
  BT advertising says fast speeds at peak times. less than 2mbit is not fast. (that the governments minimum standard!!!)
  I don't know how to procede because when I'm experiencing these issues if I ring up I will end up waiting so long to speak to someone (because its peak time) the concection wiill be better again.
  I can think of no recourse other than to approach trading standards...
  Guarnetee me 5mbit at peak times (enough to stream HD iplayer) and I'd be happy
  That is what BT vision customers are in essence are getting + what ever their PC is using.
  Fair usage? what about Fair Supply.

• I cannot post hyperlinks in a forum posting field

  Running 3.6.8, I have recently been unable to post hyperlinks in a forum reply field. Any attempt to insert a Smiley results in the Smiley being pasted at the beginning of the text rather than at the cursor point. Inserting an embed link to Youtube appears to do nothing but the link is there when posted. When I perform any of the above functions, the cursor disappears from the text field but it is possible to continue inserting characters 'blind'. If I open an IE tab, all functions work correctly. Could this be Java-related? I have tried versions 6.0.15 through to 6.0.21 without success

• Http post from an application with file attachment

  Hi ! I didn't know where else to post this message...
  I'm trying to make a HTTP POST from an application and upload a file with it. I have no problems with the posting, just that I haven't got any ideas how to get the file uploaded as well. I've been reading loads of examples regarding the topic, and searching older posts the forum here, without any help.
  Here's the method i'm using:
                 // open connections
                URL url = new URL ("TheURL");
                 URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
                            // We do input & output, without caching
                 urlConn.setDoInput (true);
                 urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
                 urlConn.setUseCaches (false);
                            // multipart/form-data because we want to upload a file
                   urlConn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
                // Open output stream
                   DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream (urlConn.getOutputStream ());
                // Set the actual content
                   String content = "upfile=" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\file.ext&";
                     content += "other_key-value_pairs";
                // write the data to stream, and flush it.
                   printout.writeBytes (URLEncoder.encode(content));
                 printout.flush ();
                 printout.close ();
                 // Get the response.
                   DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream (urlConn.getInputStream());
                 FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream("postto.txt");
                 String str;
                   BufferedReader bufr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
                // Write response to outputfile
                   while (null != ((str = bufr.readLine()))) {
                       if (str.length() >0) {
                       fos.write(str.getBytes());
                       fos.write(new String("\n").getBytes());
                 input.close ();Now, the response here I get from the url i'm posting to is "Failure, no data-file". I've tried many diff methods of writing the file to the stream, but always get the same result.
  I need to file attached like it would be when using a HTML form's <input type="file">.
  Please help ! This is getting really urgent !

  String content = "upfile=" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\file.ext&";
  content += "other_key-value_pairs";
  printout.writeBytes (URLEncoder.encode(content));
  printout.flush ();
  printout.close ();Actually, what this does is create a request like:
  GET /path/to/file/script.language?upfile=/home/user/file.ext&other=params HTTP/1.1
  Content-Type: multipart/form-data
  -- And other HTTP params --
  The file is not actually appended to the request.
  I really don't know how Java handles the file upload, but you could do it by hand, like so:
  public static void doFileUpload(String url, String filename, Hashtable params) throws IOException {
      // Construct the request
      String boundary = "----------------------mUlTiPaRtBoUnDaRy";
      String request_head = "POST " + url + " HTTP/1.0\r\n" +
                                       "Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary + "\r\n";
      String request_body = boundary + "\r\n\r\nContent-disposition: form-data; name=\"upload\"" +
                                       "\r\n\r\n";
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filename)));
      int b = -1;
      while((b = in.read()) != -1) {
           request_body += (char)b;
      in.close();
      Enumeration keys = params.keys();
      while(keys.hasMoreElements()) {
          String key = keys.nextElement();
          requst_body += "\r\n" + boundary + "\r\n\r\nContent-type: form-data; name=\"key\"\r\n" +
                                  (String)params.get(key);
      request_body += "\r\n" + boundary + "--\r\n";
      int length = request_head.length() + request_body.length() + "Content-length: \r\n";
      String req_length = "Content-length: " + (length + new String("" + length).length()) + "\r\n";
      Socket socket = new Socket(url,80);
      PrintStream stream = socket.getOutputStream();
      stream.print(request_head + req_length + req_body);
      // And now an option to read the response, I will omit that...   
  }Note: I have not tested this code, just wrote it up out of memory. If it does not work, it will propably need some small fixes.

• Change the Post Moved to another Forum procedure

  When a post gets moved to another forum, and you click on the green-arrow Moved: it shows you a new screen with the new link, and info where it is moved to.
  See here and here
  Could that be changed in such a way, that when you click on the Moved: it takes you direct to that post in the new forum, without the in-between message?
  Message Edited by RealBlackStuff on 12-22-2007 10:01 AM

  I wonder if it would do what you're asking if we didn't put anything in the comment box?  I'll try that.
  I had been leaving a placeholder and filling in that comment in for now just to reinforce the idea that people should watch where they're posting in the first place.  I wasn't planning to keep doing that once things are firmly established here, and we don't leave a trail of breadcrumbs at TPF any more when we move something.  It's just clutter.
  OK, I tried not putting a comment in, and it didn't change anything.  I did find out that I can delete the placeholder, though, without deleting the moved thread.  In phpBB, deleting the placeholder dumps the whole thread.  I think that's an improvement from Lithium over phpBB.

• Posting From IE11 in Windows 8.1

  I've put up a couple of test systems on the Windows 8.1 Preview, both Pro and Enterprise editions.
  Just testing to see how the forum interacts with Internet Explorer 11.  So far so good - I have been able to log in and see things looking pretty much right.
  Something I'm curious about is whether &quot;quoted&quot; strings are handled properly, because we have seen the double quote character changed to what looks like an HTML escape sequence by the forum software when IE10 under Windows 8 is used to access the forum.
  So here goes.
  &quot;Quoted text&quot;
  If the above comes out with double-quote characters at the ends, that will be happy news.
  Also, in typing this, I noticed that the forum software thinks I'm leaving the page every time I press a control - e.g., the Bold, &quot;Insert Image&quot;, or font size controls, and puts this up:
  -Noel

  Here I am, posting from a copy of Windows 8.1 RTM, available to the public for more than a week now, using the released version of IE11...
  The &quot;quoted text&quot; problem is still with us (noting the quotes on this line have been changed to HTMLese.
  The are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?  problem I reported above so long ago is still with us...
  And now we have a new problem.  The following pops up, after which you lose your post (I've had to type this twice).
  It's apalling to see how poorly Adobe is keeping up with technology.  How the hell do you folks expect to be considered the best source for content creation tools with this kind of web site management?
  Do you think no one notices?

• Posting from iOS

  Those frustrated by the hassles of posting from iOS will be pleased by a recent change.  I don't know where the change was, but the third-party iOS browsers I'm using (Atomic and iCab Mobile) no longer put double capitals at the beginning of a paragraph.  Previously, I'd see stuff like "THis is crazy."  Which, being a bit of an OCD perfectionist when it comes to spelling and grammar, drives me absolutely nuts!
  Of course, little quirks remain.  In iCab right now, I'm typing with no visible insertion point.  Yet it will probably be visible and flashing in the middle of some non-editable text after I post this.  But at least I can access the message editing toolbar and the Edit button!    (Oh, hey, look, there's the insertion point...  Guess inserting a smiley fixed it.  )
  Atomic seems to have lost the ability to access the toolbar in the message editor, though I haven't tested the advanced editor there yet.
  Safari, of course, is the most attractive and pleasant browser to use on iOS, in my opinion, but is quite badly broken when it comes to posting on these forums.  So I'm finding myself coping with the quirks of iCab for these forums at this point, while until just recently they were simply too much for me and I put up with the forum quirks in Safari instead.
  Anybody else have any good tips on editing posts here using iOS?

  STill does the double-cap for me (iCab). It's also slow.
  ANd to think, all of this because Apple won't listen to its own advice to feed standard, full web pages to iPads, rather than the mobile-optimized ones...

• Posting from WinXP64, the definitive thread

  Greetings.
  Posting from Windows XP 64 bits here.
  It's kind a useless at the moment. I have no sound, my printer doesn't have any drivers, HP DeskJ. 5550 and ATi doesn't have OpenGL support in the drivers that ship with the XP64 install. Direct X is almost as fast tho as Winxp 32bit.
  Any one feel that the Explorer is MUCH MUCH more smoother and more responsive and the system barely touches the hard drives in browsing mode?
  Everything is just super responsive and the boot time is shorter too.
  Regards,
  Simon

  ...YAY...thanks Bas...got sound...here...
  ...tip...download and unzip in a Windows 32-bit OS...XP 64-Bit doesn't recognize zip and has no right-click option to extract...might just be me   ...
  ...getting a few pop-behind ads...???...
  ...I visit a forum that uses Flash and the Macromedia install notice showed up everytime I went to a new page until I checked the "Alway Trust Macromedia" box and clicked Install...heh heh...
  ...Paint Shop Pro 8 locked up once but Task Manager got me out of it...
  ...one odd thing...when I start up Windows loads and I get the desktop but then My Computer opens to the F-drive Program Files (XP 64-Bit) page...???...everytime...

• SQL firewall rule to restrict traffic from only one Azure PaaS website (cross-post from websites)

  (This has also been posted on the websites forum)
  Hi,
  I have been asked to configure the firewall on the SQL PaaS instance to only allow traffic from a specified PaaS website that is within the same subscription. I can't see any way to set a static internal IP for the website, is there a way to identify it
  for the purpose of the SQL Database firewall rule?
  Thanks,
  Karina

  You're right, KG! Sorry.
  This article mentions a reserved-IP:
  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn690120.aspx
  It specifically mentions your scenario:
  You want to ensure that outbound traffic from Azure uses a predictable IP address. You may have your firewall configured to allow only traffic from specific IP addresses. By reserving a VIP, you will know the source IP address and won’t
  have to update your firewall rules due to a VIP change. This is especially helpful if you want to configure your firewall before you create your cloud service.
  The only thing I'm not confident on would be if it works with Azure Websites - it does mention cloud services, though. If you have further questions, I can give a shot myself and see if I can get a working example.

• Why can I not post from my main account?

  I had to create a second account to post from - any idea why I get a "user xxxxx is not allowed to post"

  Hi,
  There is one forum that I know that might give you that response.
  That is the Users Tips Contribution Forum
  It is supposed to need Level 2 attainment before you can access it - but as the Discussions are becoming Apple Support Communities it may have been changed to Read only.
  Sometimes the Hosts do "Ban" someone from posting dues to too many infringements of the Terms of Use
  If this happens the person involved should get an email explaining this to the address the used to register the Account/ID.
  (It can get sent to any new Email that has been changed in the Posters Profile and sometimes it then gets sent to both).
  I must admit I had not thought, at all, about whether a banned Poster can actually still read the Discussions. (I had presumed their Login no longer worked.)
