Good idea .
Let us all have a moments silence for FB5 and his very inquisitive attitude.
That site hacks your msn account through saying it can tell you who blocked you, true it does, but ultimately causes mote problems than it solves. You get the URL through messenger from people on your contact list that have been hacked. www.blockdelete.com and www.free-offers-for-you.com cannot be sent through messenger but the newest redirecting link www.don't-miss-this.com isn't.
I checked it out and screwed my old computer (so I had to re-format it and put windows back on it) and my old MSN account so I have got a new one.
Moments silence for FB5 begin.

Dude, it's called Phishing. They'll get your password because you're giving it away to them.

No one sensible would ever use a suspicious website to check if people have blocked them. You want to see who blocked you, you use an alternative instant messaging program, like Pidgin.

Edit: Nevermind I got off my lazy tail and looked around. I guess I'll just live with that one itty bitty inconvenience until they implement it.

Not sure IF they'll implement it. Things like hand writing has been around for a while, but never implemented.

You want these extras, you'd need to ask for or even create a plugin, I think. If it's popular, who knows, it might be added into the actual application at a certain point...

Speaking of which, maybe I should give plugin writing a shot once for the small inconveniences (MSN: voice clips, hand writing, direct webcam/audio communication...). Dunno nothing about all that though!

the reason i cant use a filesystem is because i am running Mandriva directly from my disc drive. it has not been installed yet and i cant access the hard drive. the disc drive cant be used because if i opened it i am sure it would stuff up, like when you are playing PS2 and suddenly open the disc drive during play...

anyway i dont want to install it because i hope there is a way to fix my hdd

davince, if you went to the sites specifically posted by us then it should take you to www.blockdelete.com i dont think they contain any games

Um, no. The reason you are not able to access your hard drive is because you're not competent. I've used a Linux LiveCD to fix a Windows installation myself, several times. How I did that if I could not access the hard drive from it is flabbergasting, huh, son?

i forgot how to set it to nested view. anyway i find it even more confusing, since new posts arnt always put on the bottom, in nested view they are scatered everywhere

'yeah, but the new posts are a different colour' - if you said that i would rip your face off. what if i dont get to the computer for a whole week? since TDN doesn't have the functionality to tell me which posts i have not seen, (mostly due to redink1's laziness) i wouldn't know which posts are new

'then how do you know?' - i will also rip your face off. i just check every thread to see if there are any new posts.

'why don't you just do that in nested view?' - again, i will rip off your face. nested view makes it more difficult, and time consuming. i have to check EVERY SINGLE NESTED POST to be able to view new ones. yes, it is a big waste of time, and is much easier to just use non-nested view

any good people willing to convince me may have a try, but i am good at exposition, and will come up with rebuttals to fry your argument

BTW have any of you'se used online gaming clients? if so, you will be used to the chat rooms they contain. have you noticed anything weird with them? oh yeah-NO FREAKING NESTED VIEW!! every 'post' is in a line. and so what, i dont care how confusing they are, BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT!

Hey, mister angry preteen. If you don't want to use nested view, fine, but you could at least show those who use it enough courtesy to reply to the correct posts. Not using nested view causes enough confusion as it is, if not people like you making it confusing for nested view users as well.

Put it this way. A lot of people are percentages. My last fling was mostly straight, but significantly not. I know a couple of guys who cuddle together because they are both between relationships, but I wouldn't describe them as anything but straight.

I also know someone who has problems getting touched by the other gender, except for one or two people, one of which is one of their lovers.

So yeah. Like who you like, and crush who you crush, and don't give a flying duck about what kinds of terms you need to describe yourself. They always come up lacking.

last time i checked, if a boy loves a girl that makes him at least have SOME straightness. if you then turn around and start likeing other boys that makes you not fabulous, but g-a-y. if you like both, then you're bisexual

i dont get along with most boys, since a lot are jocks, and try to annoy me etc. and i like a girl doesnt that make me straight? i just dont like being called g-a-y. the reason i write it like that is because it will otherwise turn into fabulous and that is confusing since i am arguing that i'm not great???

anyway just dont call me g-a-y or fabulous or homo. i just dont like it.

If you were secure about your sexuality, FB5, you wouldn't have a need to defend yourself like you do. It seems to me like you have to justify being straight by example and verification, such as saying that you love a girl, and asking if loving a girl makes you straight.

Learn to ignore what others tell you. It's how you feel that matters. If somebody calls me "fabulous", I don't mind. Either they are insecure about themselves, or they feel a need to hurt me, something at which they are very unsuccessful. However, with you, with the way you react to this, they would have a great time. Why? Because you let yourself be offended.
