Just curious how the folks here watch / buy movies. I am talking about DVD Releases, not movies that have come out in theaters.

I have found myself shying away from DVDs personally and picking up HD DVDs for the cheap. I know its a dead format but since my HD DVD player was free I feel like I might as well get some bang out of my buck for it. I can't justify picking up movies in just standard DVD format due to the fact that I know in the distant future they will be released in HD (blu ray of course, so I will probably have to pick up a PS3 ). The quality is just so much better (well with a HDTV) it just hurts me. Of course there are some HD DVDs that were pumped out rather quickly and weren't polished for released so they don't look true HD - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=942015 is a great thread that lists the quality of HD DVD movies, I am sure on that forum that there is one for Blu Ray as well.

But now there is Apple TV and Xbox Marketplace. Both amazing places to just rent HD movies for cheap and almost no wait (at least that considerable long of a wait) to stream it to your player and begin watching. This is obviously where I think the future of rentals/purchases of movies is heading and I feel its a damn shame since I like to have the actual physical object. I am sure if things go the downloading for rent/buying method I will have to accept it.

so wait... it works on other HDTVs?

Got a chance to see this movie last night and it was really good. Its the movie about the MIT kids that go to Vegas and win loads of money on Blackjack. Don't know what to call it (not action, comedy or really a drama, at least in the romantic sense), its probably just a good character movie than anything else.

Trailer - http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/21/

I still need to play Mass Effect but Rock Band just owns my soul.

Beat Army of Two over the weekend, fun co-op but I couldn't really see it as a fun single player game, too bug and I shudder to think what your AI teammate is like.

Popped in the Simpsons game the other night, and still play that from time to time. So much better than the last 10 years of that show. Definitely just a puzzle platformer but it brings back old memories of the first few seasons. How that show got so bad I don't know.

Mapcore might be down for the next couple days as we finally move to a new servers :monocle:

Sorry this won't go as smoothly as we hoped. and I cannot apologize enough for how the whole mapcore issues has been addressed, I am truly embarrassed

Quote from FrieChamp

It's a shame the movie was shot somewhere near Vancouver instead of in a more tropical surrounding, nevertheless I'm so gonna see this

this is the only Boll Movie from which, after watching the trailer, I thought "Meh I could probably sit through this one"

Guys, I really appreciate your patience. Things have been kind of crazy for Mike and I and we are working our hardest to get site to another host. It really shouldn't be long now.

interesting but .. /me hugs his TF2

link to where this is happening? I could have sworn I have seen larger images being posted

Sorry Dan, I'll nuke from orbit D:

its called "The Server is Down." When the Host likes to take down the servers for either repairs or upgrades, they have to turn off the Servers

The More You Know...

It's not just the forums. The problem occurs on the main front page as well, and we are talking about multiple trojans here. The source is something more complex and bigger.

The only thing on the front page is HTML. There is not Java. There is Java in the source Code but it is all commented out. But since commenting out doesn't do shit in IE maybe its not being really being commented out. All that should show up on the main page is the Mapcore Logo. If somethign else is showing up then Goddamn You IE

And to Thrik's tests, what he is doing shows that its more than likely the hosts. And if that is the case we will see about switching it over to some other site

Yeah, I'm with Mazy. I don't really see Christmas as a time for receiving significant gifts anymore, and just enjoy the family/atmosphere/food. Anything I need I've already bought myself.

same, YEAH for growing older and wiser now its time to party

I have no idea what it does and where this came from this suddenly.

I am still looking in to this. A lot of the ones that people seem to be getting seem to have had their detection rules updated in early Dec, so that is why it is suddenly popping up now. We are looking into if its the host or the forums themselves.

"HTML/ADODB.Exploit.Gen" seems to be a variant of Troj/Psyme-GG but both don't yield many results on Google, which makes tracking down what actually causes this problem some what difficult (especially when the forums themselves consist of many many different parts

Anyone try what they suggested here? http://forum.avira.com/thread.php?threadid=25966 (More the deletion of files in the temp folder, then the turning off of system restore).

I am trying my best to figure out what exactly is causing this. If anyone else can look up these issues and see if they can find any consistencies the better. Its INCREDIBLY tough for 1 person to figure this all out, especially when the problem is not occurring to them.

those should not show up now. I only did that since it was easier for me to tell exactly how some of the bodies (the avatar section and the post message section to be exact). Sometimes the colors would overlap and other times they would do things that just didn't make sense. Adding those odd colors (for only the times I was working on them), assisted me in discovering how these pages were exactly laid out. Since I fixed it a few days ago, these colors should no longer be showing up. There is no local copy of the color style sheet (I think) and it is all controlled on the server (I think). But if it it is server side, then it should be happening to all of us and not just you. Since it is just you I would suggest just trying a complete refresh of a thread page CTRL-F5. That should do the trick. I haven't had that color scheme up for a while and its odd that it is still showing up for you

E: Ok I just looked at this in IE and it does show up like that. Goddammit

EE: Its IE's fault. GG IE for not understanding that // means to comment out something. // worked fine in FF and those colors would not show up, but IE choose to ignore // and decided to show those colors again. Good eye C'Mac

well, after a lot of pulling out of wires and fluff in Forums' insides, I was finally able to get the damn posts to show up correctly and not really have weird ass spaces between the avatars and the post messages. I am still tweaking the spacing a bit for the avatar space.

EDIT: I have noticed that now the sigs start at the bottom of the profile and not the post, something I will look into. I am fairly certain how I created this problem and how to fix it.
