old_crone Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 that has been asked and answered before but what do the stars under the ratings mean? And how does a thread get them? Is it by how many view the thread or by importance? Thanks old_crone

old_crone Posted August 20, 2002 Author Posted August 20, 2002 I did look but couldn't find anything but I admit that I gave up because the site is sooooooo slow for me right now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
dstanovic Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Old Crone, Are you behind a firewall (router/software)? Dave
old_crone Posted August 20, 2002 Author Posted August 20, 2002 "Are you behind a firewall (router/software)?" Isn't everyone?? If not they should be! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> I use ZoneAlarm. I just added resource-zone to my local zone so I can accept the cookie, though I didn't want to have to do that and shouldn't have to do it, but did it anyway. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Hoping that fixes the slow login time.
giz Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I can also confirm that on dial-up access it works quickly, but when sitting on a network that connects using ADSL (broadband) via a proxy server with ZoneAlarm installed, all is painfully slow.
dstanovic Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 Uhgg! I had to turn off my routers firewall and open the TCP port required in ZoneAlarm Pro. Hopefully they will come up with a solution. <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
old_crone Posted August 20, 2002 Author Posted August 20, 2002 It does work better since I changed my ZoneAlarm settings but it's really not a good thing for us security conscious web surfers. Plus, it's not necessary. I have cookie authorization on the site I'm developing using php and mysql. I have no problem with my firewall and my computer accepts the cookie without doing any changes to my firewall's security settings. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />
dstanovic Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 Agreed and I'm sure they are working on it <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> I was able to get my router back up by allowing their IP and port through. Still have to keep it open on ZoneAlarm of course but I always feel safer behind the "hardware" <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> P.S. I forgot how many port scans etc takes place without the router blocking. I was getting hammered and Zone Alarm built up quite a log in such a few short hours. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> Dave
dstanovic Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 old_crone, They seemed to have changed the need to open port 7869 so you can change back your settings <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thanks Guys for doing this <img src="/images/icons/cool.gif" alt="" />
old_crone Posted August 21, 2002 Author Posted August 21, 2002 Thank You, Thank You, Thank You <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> to everyone!
dstanovic Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 I think this question falls under this thread title <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" /> What are all the stars under different users names? Is this discussed elsewhere and I missed it? I have seen the "rate this thread" function - don't think I used it, but I know where it is? Is this run by the number of posts like: xx= star xxx= star star star Feel stupid but I thought I would ask since I have all these stars and not sure where they came from <img src="/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" /> Dave
totalxsive Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Click on the name of the editor/member/stranger and then select a rating <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />.
dstanovic Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Neil, Thanks - Duh! <img src="/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" /> You just earned a vote from me for answering that question <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
