Start/ Programs/ Accesories/ System Tools/ Character map °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Check what font you are using (in this case for this post [just go into advanced reply and at the top there is a drop down box where you can select which font you want to use] "Verdana") and then look for the characters within that font that you want to use select it and then select copy and then paste into the message box and hey presto. Although this depends on what Operating System your using but within Microsoft its pretty much in the same place. The character map is a handy little tool especially for finding standardised logo's and characters without trying to remember a bunch load of key presses to get something you only use once in a blue moon.

I wouldn't bother setup a raid array (not that JBOD is an actual raid format). I would just instal the drives as Drive0 & Drive1 and have 2 seperate hard drives. If however you do want to use Raid I would run them stripped although the performance gain on newer drives isnt that much of an advantage nowadays.

Yup I totally appreciate that, however the point I was asking is, is there a reason why you set VB up to do that instead of just clicking in the quick reply box and typing away? In VB admin panel under "vBulletin Options/ Message Posting and Editing Options" you have the options to either 1 Turn off the quick reply box. 2 Have the quick reply box (no clicking any other buttons you just click in the quick reply box and start typing). 3 have the quick reply box but click the pad and quill icon (how the board is set up now). TBH i was just mearly curious as to why you had it set like that, if there were any advantages for it being set that way. Personally I guess am just used to it being the other way round and a lot of other forums also do it like this. I do think however that people new to forums may not understand that they have to click on the pad and quill when there is a text box with quick reply heading.

Thanks Wolfeymole, That takes me to the advanced reply box and again negates the need for the Quick Reply box.

Is there any specific reason as to why you have VB's quick reply box set to be enabled to "Yes - Click Required"? As having it so as it is now you have to click to activate it instead of just typing away and hitting the "post quick reply" button seems a bit of a pain and defeats the whole object of it being there in the first place? Yes I am a lazy git and pressing extra buttons is too much like hard work lol :)

Have you installed any new software or hardware to your lappy?

Lol yeah that Diego can be a handful, however swipper is the one to keep an eye on :) Thanks all for the kind welcome :)

Well after Match going on about this place I thought I'd have a mooch round and pop my head in and say hello. So if your wondering who the hell I am appart from knowing Match, ill give you a breif intro. I have been involved with PC's, Repairing Synth's, Guitars and other musical gear (only simple stuff like capacitor/ component replacement etc and a little soldering and multimetering here and there) since I was about 14 years old. I started off computer wise with the old Atari 1040ste armed with notator, purley for music production, then around 95 delved into PC's and built my own PC purley for audio production. After a while of messing things up and reading up and talking to a fair few peeps on the old interwebby I built a few systems for a few people and word of mouth went round and say the past 12 years or so I have been doing that ever since. I have a client base of both local companies and individuals round Birmingham and the West Midlands that I look after. I do pretty much anything from pc repair to designing websites and anything else involving either me or my soldering iron gets asked to do. My other (main) passion is music, I am a performing musician, songwritter, studio engineer and I suppose music producer. Normally most weekends I am out gigging and then doing studio/ session work or pc work depending on whats happening that week, day or hour etc lol. So before I bore you all to death I'll leave it there and just say Howdy, nice site and nice to meet you all :)
