Firefox and cookies Posted: 11/4/2009 2:29:11 PM
There shouldn't be an issue. I, and numerous others on here, run various versions of Firefox without issue. No need to add Fish to the exception list. To delete cookies in Ff, Tools >Clear Private Data. This clears everything in one shot. Have your friend try to log in again. I have my settings to get a fresh page each time I visit (prevents stale data) and to clear everything when I close Ff. Have never had an issue except when I mistype.

Only once but that only shows for the last 30 days. I believe if you do it after the 30 days you will show up again (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

New Feature: I viewed Posted: 9/26/2009 11:03:53 AM
Yup, tried it out and like you, not sure how it bases its decision on who to show. Looking at who shows up, I'm sure that I didn't look at many of the ones it claims while I was logged in (I almost always look at profiles while logged out). Regardless, it's an interesting new feature. A bit more information on how far back it goes and if the people drop off just like those who viewed you would be nice.

W3C Validation and you Posted: 8/25/2009 4:42:33 PM
Do you put your CSS inside each html document or do you use a single CSS document to manage your styles? Advantages / Disadvantages to one or the other? As a rule, you should keep your CSS separate from the html. Just do a reference to the CSS in the head portion of your page. The biggest advantage is you only have to change the CSS code once and any page which references that CSS is automatically changed. You don't have to go to each page and manually change the code. For very small sites, you could get away with putting the CSS on each page but anything above 5 - 10 pages and it becomes a real hassle. Can you imagine if the folks who code the Victoria's Secret site had to update each pages' CSS? You can have multiple CSS pages depending on the layout of your site. You might have one page with your general stuff (background, font, etc) for pages of text and another CSS for more complicated pages. You just have to use whichever CSS does what you want to accomplish.

are most std's cure able ?? Posted: 8/25/2009 4:35:00 PM
Of course, these are NOT FDA-approved, because there's no money in them for drug companies, are thus NOT covered by insurance, so you have to pay out of pocket, and are NOT cheap. Here we go again with it's because there's no money it, the government is suppressing it so it must be the next best thing to sliced bread. The reason these "cures" aren't FDA approved is because they're not cures. Not one has ever stood up to scientific scrutiny to determine if they are effective at treating what they claim. None. Zero. Kevin Trudeau is notorious for floating this nonsense. He claims he has all these cures yet when asked to present his "evidence", he never does. That is why he's been repeatedly sued by the government. He's falsely claiming something is a drug when it is not because it has not undergone any scientific testing. The same thing with this nonsense. If he's so sure his "cure" works, submit it for testing. If it works, I'm sure the medical community will be all over him with kudos and the insurance companies will then cover it, just like they do any other medicine. You sound like a Scientologist and they're nonsense about how vitamins will cure everything. Worked really well for John Travolta's kid, didn't it?

All dudes on login page Posted: 8/23/2009 11:05:50 AM
Related issue: When I am on the forums, not logged in, the row of profiles at the top are now all men. This started occurring after the day or two when there were no profiles showing across the top of the page when not logged in. I realize that with me growing my hair out, from certain angles, depending on how the sunlight hits me when my back is turned, how far I am from you and how good your eyesight is, I might possibly, somewhat, maybe, if you squint hard enough, be mistaken for one of the female persuasion, but is that any reason to justify having only male profiles appear across the top of forums? It's obviously a flip of the bit in the database so if the OP's problem is corrected, I'm certain mine, and others who are having the same issue, will be corrected as well.

Braces on a 40 yr old? Posted: 8/16/2009 5:15:40 PM
I had braces on my upper teeth when I was turning 32 and never had any issues. If someone would make a joke about train tracks, I'd just agree and make a quip such as, "At least I'll be getting somewhere". The only issue I had was the feeling of tightness on my teeth. Theses were the standard metal braces. Other than not eating foods such as apples or corn on the cob, I ate whatever I wanted. The one thing you might have to watch for is you might talk slightly differently than normal due to your lips having to compensate for the extra mass on your teeth, but most people are too oblivious to notice the difference. For the last few weeks (months?) of having them on, I wore the brightest fluorescent orange rubber rings I could find. Sort of like a badge of honor that this was the last time I'd be wearing them. I had some people tell me they didn't even know I wore braces until they saw the orange in my mouth. As a final thought, I had relatives who had their entire family in braces at the same time. And they were in their late 30s, early 40s at that time (the parents that is). They would joke with people about having braces so late in life.

Colloidal silver Posted: 8/16/2009 5:01:40 PM
It has not been endorsed by the government and WHO because that would take away a huge amount of the profits their related pharma companies make on treating people with their own products. Riiiiight. It's all about the money which is why you can get colloidal silver for free. Because it would be horrible for a company which spends millions of dollars researching a drug using PROVEN scientific methods to not be compensated for their work. Oh wait, you have to BUY the stuff from people who aren't licensed, who have no studies to prove one way or the other whether their products work and whose products, when tested, vary so much in concentration that one never knows how much colloidal silver they're actually ingesting. Colloidal silver works as well as magnetic bracelets do curing arthritis or Scientology's regime of vitamins did curing Travolta's kid. For reference: http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/colloidal-silver/AN01682

What if someone had multiple spouses pass away on them? Can you say Black Widow (and whatever the male version is)? If someone keeps having spouses die on them, that raises flags. Maybe it's some weird, morbid coincidence, but it's definitely something to think about.

You can have a 10 that opens his mouth and goes down to a 6 or lower in about 5.8 seconds. There's a phrase that someone uses as their sig on a completely unrelated site which says: Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

unattractive men Posted: 7/3/2009 4:08:14 PM
I have been told by a few women from this site that they find most of the men here are unattractive looking, that there are not to many attractive looking me on here. By that logic, the same could be said about most women on here. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder (to mangle a phrase). I've seen couples out there that really make you scratch your head and think, "What does he/she see in their partner?" If they believe most men on here are unattractive, they might want to look in the mirror.

Why do people ignore emails? Posted: 6/30/2009 2:16:23 PM
[QUOTE]since when did good manners get thrown out the window online? [/QUOTE] About the time someone realized there was no way for the person on the other end to track you down for how you behave or what you say (though that is no longer the case). As others have pointed out, this topic has been beaten to death. Like you, I rarely bother writing any more. There have been numerous times I wanted to write someone because of something they said in their profile but thought better of it since it would just be a waste of time. Why be a nice/polite/considerate/whatever guy (you know, like 90% of the women on here say they want) and comment on shared interests or agreeing with a post when there's a 99.625% chance the person won't even respond with a simple, "Thanks!"? Also, as has been pointed out, there are those people out there who will whine/pout/threaten/whatever if you do respond with a simple, "Thanks but no thanks". I've actually had someone whine to me after I called them, out-of-area no less, and told them afterwards I didn't want to continue. Look at it this way: if the person didn't have the basic courtesy to respond to a genuine note, would you want to be with that person? If they're like this online, imagine how they're like in person. Not a pretty thought, huh? Here's a question for those who don't care if they're being rude. If you're out and the person in front of you let's the door close in your face, how would you feel?

Fellas, how would you honestly react to this? Posted: 6/29/2009 3:41:29 PM
If you're truly being serious about this, you could always go back, order the exact same thing and at the point where she asks you about a medium drink or large, you could then reply with a straight face: You on top is fine Then see how SHE reacts. If she stammers like you did, she could have been joking with you to see your reaction. However, if she responds with anything resembling "I get off at 6", "Ride 'em cowboy" or "Took you long enough", you know you're good to go.

CG: without straying too far from the topic and without going in to the technical details, what you want for the scene is probably a bit more than what Markus wants to do. He was merely offering something different for those who wanted to give their profiles a kick. Not that it can't be done, just that it would take a bit more coding to get everything correct and as soon as that was done, someone's profile would be screwed up and they'd whine. This way was the simplest and most efficient way to get the desired effect.

I think most guys who say they only like big breasts never have been introduced to smaller perky ones Those kind of guys think it's funny to bury their face between the big ones without realizing how much fun the smaller ones can be (says one who has been introduced to both). As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't make that much of a difference. So long as she laughs at my jokes, doesn't begin her conversations with, "Last night, on American Idol/Survivor/Lost/whatever...", and can hold an intelligent conversation mixed with double entendre, I'm happy.

I really hate to use the phrase, particularly since the last wombat in chief used it to justify spying on every American, but... If you have nothing to hide... Having your posts attached to your profile gives people something to go on. You can write whatever you want in your profile, as do the other 10 million people, but that's just fluff. The real stuff is what you write in the forums. It's very difficult to be the same person in both places. Besides, maybe someone sees something you wrote and likes what you said and they contact you. Is that so bad? I've had a few people do that and it was nice. If you don't want people to know what you're thinking on various subjects, don't post in the forums.

Asking for professional advice Posted: 4/19/2009 3:41:29 AM
Tossing in with the crowd, they're just trying to find free legal advice. As someone further up said, just put professional or something similar as your occupation, or even leave it blank. I'm in an industry which, like you, when people find out what you do they start asking questions trying to get some free advice. That's why I don't list specifically what I do though what I say isn't too far from the truth. The moment anyone starts asking you legal questions, that should be a red flag. My advice would be to either not answer the question (as 99.8% of everyone else does) or reply with a short but sweet, "I don't give out free legal advice".

The Pirate Bay Founders Have Been Sentenced To Jail Posted: 4/18/2009 9:41:45 AM
I believe none of this would have been made possible if it wasn't for priacy, No one is forcing you to buy any of the things you mentioned. If you don't buy products, the folks who manufacture the items will be forced to lower their prices. Witness the housing market. Very few people are buying so prices continue to be reduced. If you think taking someone elses work without paying for it is such a great idea, you produce your own software and give it away. See how long you last as a going business. Trying to justify not compensating someone for their work by claiming they're greedy is a bogus argument. They're the ones putting all the time and effort into creating it, they can set the price for the product. Don't want to pay the price they want? Don't buy it. Just don't claim stealing their product is a noble endeavor.

Unless the message is along the lines of, "That shirt would look good on my bedroom floor", there isn't a reason not to reply. However, as the others have said, there will be those guys who think the world revolves around them (it doesn't. It revolves around me ) and because you were polite enough to say "Thanks but no thanks", they will try to put you down and other goodies. Those are the ones you block and don't worry about because obviously they're not someone you wanted to be around anyway. It's basic courtesy to at least acknowledge the message.

General question and a stereotype Posted: 3/4/2009 6:16:45 PM
do guys really think that if they send pictures of themselves that is going to make me want to talk to them? It's called peacocking. Essentially, they're showing off in the hopes of getting your attention. Every mammalian species does it, as do birds, reptiles and other creatures. Based on your age, you have at least another 10 - 15 years of this before guys start calming down. Do guys go into friendships wondering if it will go any further in a serious way or just a physical way? For the most part, yes. However, there are those who realize it is only a friendship and have no problem just hanging out with women. I met someone in high school on a trip and have remained in contact with her all this time. There was never an inclination on my part that we would be anything other than friends. But every guy is different so be upfront and that should be enough for them to get the point. What are some of the stereotypes that go along with why men would want to sleep with asians? Some of the typical stereotypes revolve around asian women (supposedly) being more submissive than other women. That they'll do more for you and not complain. That they're easy. Speaking from experience, I can assure you that that is not the case. In fact, I have found asian women who are born in this country fall into two main categories. Either they are successful and very confident in themselves or they're hoodrats. As far as why some men want to be with asian women, it may have to do with the whole exotic look/appeal of asian women. Considering you folks have a permanent tan and your looks are definitely different than Europeans, that makes you more interesting. The same applies to what you said about liking caucasians more than any other race. They're different than you. I'm one of those guys who finds asian women attractive. Then again, I'm color blind so any woman can be attractive in my eyes. Oh, one other thing. Asian women have a different touch and smell than other races. Take that as you may. Hope this helps.

Anyone Ever Bring Out The Mean-ness In You? Posted: 3/3/2009 2:33:49 PM
OneMoreTime took the words right out of my mouth. As the saying goes, "Every day I add one more person to the list of people who pi55 me off". Unfortunately, in my line of work, I can't afford to let my meanness get out so I annoy people by being right 99.97% of the time. As far as people I've dated, no, not so much. Well, maybe that one time with the picking of the nails. That clicking noise drove me nuts so I let her know. She continued to do it which said everything I needed to know about her. If people try to provoke you to get you to be "mean", either, as someone further up said, you're too sugary sweet and never get upset or yeah, they're just trying to be a drama queen/king. Oh, and one other group. People who don't have the courtesy to say, "Thanks but no thanks." It's no wonder you're still single if you lack basic courtesy!

PSA: Poisoning by fish (no, not fugu) Posted: 2/27/2009 2:47:16 PM
Agree with you blues. Mercury is definitely a high concern, especially if you eat a lot of fish. I do enjoy my seafood though it's generally limited to shrimp, clam and (technically) salmon. On occasion I'll find something else from the sea to eat when the mood strikes me. I think in this case, it's because the symptoms mimic something not necessarily serious that people won't think about checking if there is something more serious going on. If you wait a week, it's too late. Better to be aware than oblivious.

I am hardly one to be called a worry-wart (or is it wort?), nor do I act like Monk when it comes to everyday things. In fact, some people might consider me somewhat reckless in certain instances. However, this is one of those odd situations where knowing is half the battle. For those of you who eat fish such as grouper, sea bass (without lasers on their heads) and snapper, be aware of ciguatera fish poisoning. Essentially, it's an incurable illness caused by the accumulation of coral algae toxins in large tropical reef fish. The symptoms may seem like food poisoning but can be much worse.

Where you've been on Net not private, judge rules Posted: 2/18/2009 3:26:35 PM
Is this the beginning of the end of net neutrality? What does this story have to do with net neutrality? NN is the idea that a provider should not give preference to one type of service over another. For example, if Comcast decided to slow or prevent you from reaching Google because Google wasn't partnered with them (i.e. Google paying them money so people could get to their service), that would break net neutrality. This is more a privacy issue than anything else. Which is exactly the words the judge used in her decision.

Message notification error??? Not being able to access my messages. Posted: 2/14/2009 10:36:04 AM
If you cannot find the name of person who sent you an email, then that means the account no longer exists. I had that happen once before to me and came to that conclusion. More than likely, it was a spammer who either deleted the account after sending the emails or had their account deleted when people reported them. One other thing you can try is to hit the F5 key on your keyboard. That forces your browser to refresh the page. Once the page has refreshed, you should see any messages which actually exist. Finally, and this is something most people don't do, the last thing you should do before closing your web browser every day is to clear all temporary files. In IE it is Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files, Yes on confirmation box. Too many times people never clear their files and so are getting stale data. You might as well clear your cookies on the same page while you're there. Hope this helps.

The ever-evolving POF profile Posted: 2/10/2009 2:37:02 PM
Have you stuck with your original profile for the long haul, Not even close. I was editing my profile after the first week. or has it also evolved over time into something a little different based on what or what hasn’t happened to you out here? Evolved into something different is a good choice of words. I've gone through the usual likes and dislikes routine, posted results of personality tests and just went crazy, but am now reposting a series of profiles I did last year at this same time. It's a six week interview of me (currently on week 2 with a new post every Sunday morning) which goes over everything. And yes, that is a shameless plug for you to go look at my profile. If that isn't different enough, I'm not sure what is.

Quick Question? Posted: 2/3/2009 3:09:45 PM
Here's a good rule of thumb for women since very few men have the problem of getting 100 emails the first day they create their account: If the email in question is along the lines of "Hey. Check me out!", "Do you (insert various sexual acts)?", "Waddup?", then delete them without answering. If the email in question is along the lines of "Saw your profile and liked what it said. Would like to know more.", "You (insert whatever activity)? Me too! Where do you (insert whatever activity)?", "Just had to write and let you know I was laughing when you said (insert witty phrase from your profile)", then a polite response is in order if for no other reason than courtesy and civility. If you' re not interested in the person, tell them. I use, "Thanks for writing. Good luck in your search." Yes, you will get those who whine and moan about how great the two of you would be together, how good he is in bed (yeah right) and a whole host of other reasons why you should talk to them, but that's what the Block function is for. If they're not adult enough to take the hint, they're not worth hearing from again. 9 out of 10 guys who answer such questions in the forums will tell you, they'd rather you respond with a "Thanks but not thanks" than nothing at all.

education Posted: 1/31/2009 4:27:44 AM
Here in the States, the order would be (lowest to highest): High school/NA Some college/university (same thing really) Associates Degree (2 year degree) Bachelors Degree (4 year degree) Masters Degree (6 year degree) PhD/Post Doctoral (8 or more year degree) Personally, I would like to see the High School and NA separated. Some people may not want others to know how far (or not) they've gone through the educational system and by selecting the current option, it might give the wrong impression.

What's with the . . . Posted: 1/28/2009 4:31:53 PM
I have to agree with CG. I recently received an email (yes, I actually received an email) from someone who had put me on as a Favorite. She liked my profile and wanted to know a bit more, so I emailed her back in my usual polite yet joking manner, filling in some of the blanks. I told her she was more than welcome to ask me questions and I would like to hear back from her. That was five days ago and yes, she has read the message (but not deleted). Then there was a woman who I contacted through another site. We exchanged a few emails and now nothing. Either you're interested or not folks. At least have the courtesy to save you're no longer interested. As far as the paying sites go... It is a well known fact that paying sites send fake emails to you to get you to pay. Miraculously this happens when you're about to cancel to your account.

Bits missing from pages ... Posted: 1/25/2009 1:30:03 PM
You didn't specify what browser you are using but regardless, the easiest thing to try and correct an issue like this is to clear your cookies and cache. In IE it's Tools > Internet Options > Delete Cookies/Delete Files. If you do this while logged in to your account and then refresh the page (pressing F5), you will be taken out and will have to sign back in. Every so often web pages get horked when your browser tries to interpret it and simply clearing everything generally corrects the issue. As a rule, I clear everything when I close my browser (Firefox can do it automatically) so I never have to worry about old data.

Are You Afraid Of Rejection And How Do You Deal With It ? Posted: 1/24/2009 12:54:03 PM
Fear of rejection? Of course not. After nearly 3 decades of rejection it's become second nature. Whether asking to buy dinner/drink/silk stockings and getting the same response, it doesn't bother me. It's like water off a ducks back. I look at it this way: I've made the offer. If they choose not to accept it, that's their right. I'm not going to whine and moan about the response. That's just someone else I can cross off my list of inviting to my secluded island. If someone does the read/delete or simply delete, that shows what type of person they are. If they turn their back on you when you ask them to dance, they're not someone you wanted to be with anyway, were they? When I decline an offer, I observe the Golden Rule. Who am I kidding? I NEVER get an offer. Regardless, I still treat everyone like I wanted to be treated. Everyone gets rejected. It's part of life. Whether on here, applying for a job you really wanted but didn't get (you know who you are you lying hacks!) or a loan for your third house, it's something we all have to deal with. I know I'm worth it. If other people can't see it, that's their problem, not mine.

your favorite evening comfort food. Posted: 1/16/2009 2:46:03 PM
With the weather being what it is, hot chocolate and if I still have any left, cherry soup. When things warm up, a frozen Frosty or ice cream. Generally when I come home, I'll have some cookies (chocolate chip w/ crumbled peanut butter cups) or homemade sand tarts, a mini-size piece of chocolate or smoked almonds.
