Well as for the upgrade not working, Microsoft did present to the world a set of system requirements for Windows 10 to work. And as you said, you have a 5 year old laptop, the chances of Windows 10 working isn't that good since there have been changes over the past 5 years in the technology. So as you probably guessed, you have to buy a new one.

I have problems with this logic I'm afraid (from a user perspective, not a mega corp, profit at all cost perspective).

Why? My video card worked fine with Windows 7. It works fine with Windows 8.1. That means Microsoft knows the video card. It knows the drivers required to make it work for those 2 operating systems. Why then, wouldn't they simply add that driver information to the new version of windows? Of course, because they can simply state it's incompatible (I know this is nonsense), it means users have to upgrade their computers, and they get a licencing fee in the process for the new operating system.

If I was cleverer with these things, I'd probably have a laptop with Linux on it, and be happy with my lot.

So, I'll keep to what is working now, until my hand is forced. Personally, Windows Xp was my favourite version of windows. I don't ever remember it causing me any grief whatsoever.

I clicked the windows button upgrade thingy today, and it told me my video card wasn't compatible, and the upgrade couldn't continue.

Shouldn't Microsoft, with all their billions of dollars and tens of thousands of employees, be able to make their operating system work with EVERY single video card, manufactured by the BIGGEST video companies out there? My video card is one made by Nvidia.

My inner geek was most disappointed, for all of 4 seconds.

I guess when I replace my 5 year old laptop, the new one will come with Windows 10 anyway. I don't know what the fuss is about with all these operating system changes, I pretty much only ever use a browser, a graphics program and the MS Office suite anyway. It seems a licence to print money by software companies (genius marketing!).

I'm pretty sure our excellent team of story mods, will be able to figure out these most important and intellectually challenging categorisation conundrums (ccc) 3601

At 76% for, this looks a slam dunk in favour.

I know you two clowns will like this Joan of Arc reference:

Is everyone high or on something today? I guess it is Saturday ... Personally, I'm enjoying a rather crafy Pinot Noir.

Bottoms up. 3601

The cover looks great.

This will be loaded onto my kindle this week.

Good luck with the promotions!

I was told I have to wait for my "upgrade" as they are rolling it out gradually.

Gav tells me it looks pretty good. Seeing it's free with the Windows I bought last year, I may as well give it a whirl when it's available.

In that case, I'll only read that one if there's glitter involved.

Funny you should say that. I spoke to a Primary School teacher a while ago, and she said that glitter was "the syphilis of the craft world". laughing9

I think we should go for it. It'll bring newer stories to the site that aren't so typical to the ones you find here. Maybe it can be a revenge historical piece. Since that won't be its own category.

Will you stop jiggling around please, I can't concentrate on what I was trying to say in the first place.

Maybe I'll write 'Orgy at the OK Corral' with a new meaning to the term 'gunslinger' featuring Cock Holiday.

Why are they not typically included? Not historic enough? When does something become "historic"? dontknow

We only allow one picture at the top of the story.

The reason being, stories with images strewn throughout, often take the reader away from their mind's view of the story. They can visually decimate a story. That, and copyright issues.

We've had quite a response in another thread, about adding a "Historical" sex story category. It's hugely popular on Amazon, and therefore makes sense to add one here.

Proposed category description to give you an idea as to what type of stories might be suited to it:

Immerse and indulge yourself in tales of sex and romance, set amid a backdrop of rich historical detail. Mingle with the upper echelons of society at a Venetian masked ball, witness the gluttony and debauchery of ancient Rome, and experience the shocking scandal of a Victorian high-society love affair. This category is exclusively for stories set in a historical time period.

Poll open for 2 weeks.

31 Jul 2015

Looks like a no for this one.

I would still like to see a 'historical' category.

Medieval lesbian princesses, roman gladiatorial orgies, victorian high-society blowjobs, etc...

Phew, so would I now!

Did we put this up for a separate vote already?

Those douchebag crap-eating pond life at Twitter just permanently suspended my account. All my 29k followers wiped out, just like that.

But they can't keep me down. I'm starting again. One down, only 28,999 to go.

Oh, and its now @naughty_annie

Followed!

Why did they suspend you? I thought they had a no holes (sic) barred policy?

Happy Birthday. Enjoy the plate smashing today!

Interestingly, AM approached some of the top City of London brokers to help them raise £130m in order to float the company on the Stock Exchange. They were politely turned away. The brokers did not want to be associated with them. I believe the same thing happened in Canada last year.

Makes you wonder if they were being hypocritical and guilty of double standards when compared to some of the things that go on there. Or is it, perhaps, that there are some things that money can't buy!

I know, I get it all the time too!

"A haiku is five beats,
Followed then by seven beats,
With five beats to... Conclude."

(SHIT)

xx SF

Why is that FUNNY?

Anybody? Liz? No one???

I'll explain. Like all my jokes, it works on a few levels, okay... Most obviously, on it's OWN it's funny 'cos it's NOT a haiku. It COULD be if you replace 'conclude' with 'end' or even 'finish' both one syllable words... (Go on... TRY ME ON 'finish' being a one syllable word!!!) But FUNNIER STILL is that if you replace 'conclude' with the word 'complete' not only does the joke still work but IT RHYMES!!!

It's like playing in 5/4 time. People who know music get it...

A pianist and singer are rehearsing "Autumn Leaves" for a concert and the pianist says:

"OK. We will start in G minor and then on the third bar, modulate to B major and go into 5/4. When you get to the bridge, modulate back down to F# minor and alternate a 4/4 bar with a 7/4 bar. On the last A section go into double time and slowly modulate back to G minor."

The singer says: "Wow, I don't think I can remember all of that."

The pianist says: "Well, that's what you did last time."

Woo hoo!!! Poppet, you might get your wish after all sweetie! The boss has spoken and agrees with you!

Well, I said, "if the demand is there."

Usually we go with a 70% in favour vote. It looks pretty much on the fence as it stands.

24 Jul 2015

It needs fixing. It reflects badly on us.

I am sure Gav will take a look when he gets a chance. He's still duelling with Mr. Mongoyagi at the moment sad1

lol @ Cleo el Gato.

Cheating stories - how I cheated on my partner.

Revenge stories - how I got my own back on my unfaithful partner.

They are different enough I guess, to warrant a new category in their own right, if the demand is there.

EDIT: Moved to the site suggestions forum.

Nicola and Gav both read through the posts in this thread. John was simply offering his opinion on your proposal.

If I understand you correctly, you believe it would be better for the site to automatically close user-created rooms with no shields, booting out all of their users, instead of leaving them for the chat mods to look after? This sounds to me like a very annoying irritation for users of the chatrooms.

We have deliberately set the chat rooms up in such a way, having researched all the biggest and best ones, and the way they operate.

The vast majority of adults, behave as such. Kicking everyone just because the room creator left, doesn't make sense at all.

If it is a user generated room, and the member who created it leaves, I am sure that in most cases, the conversations will continue to flow, in the same manner. If anyone steps out of line, then crowd control should be used to kick them, or if the whole chat room has turned pear-shaped, there should be a way to report the whole chat room easily.

I can click YT videos on my profile, they play fine.

Some are restricted from playing on anywhere other than YT, but that has always been the case.

I think Gav has either fixed it, or YT have.

Or whatever the case may be -- is it possible for us to get their avatars and related info removed from the timeline? I'm always staring at big white questionmarks - it's only a mild irritation but an irritation none the less.

This should happen automatically as the site cache clears. If not, there needs to be some clear up process added to the scheduling.
