Hi! Please donīt copy/paste entire articles from websites, thatīs almost always a copyright violation (check the "Terms of Service" of the website or the copyright notice). Only post the link to the article. Itīs ok to quote a few lines from a copyrighted text, a short free article (less than one page) can be posted in its entirety. Please always provide the original link and always wrap quoted text in Quote tags or use Italics. Thanks!

Plus when people see what looks like an incredibly long post they tend not to read it anyway.

Yup, newbs I contact via PM, but recently a forum veteran knowingly made that mistake twice, so I bumped this ancient thread to remind everyone of that rule.

Cause im wondering if the vista image i put up on the vista thread is what your going on about?
No.

Now im getting paraniod, i dont need this man:D

We donīt have a non-verbose list of forum rules yet that could be posted in a sticky. I had made such a list a while ago, but Neal hasnīt approved it yet.
