If you want to post a video you simply copy the URL to the video from the site the video is on and paste it into the thread or post. Our media parser will automatically extract the video and play it inline. The parser supports over 250 media sites. If you find a site that has videos and it's not on our list let me know and I'll add it.

Signatures: We invite all of our members to personalize their signatures but we ask that you keep the size reasonable. Anything over sized will have to be edited or removed. We have specific rules regarding signatures so you will want to read our rules and guidelines. Commercial Links in signatures are expressly forbidden without specific approval and will be removed. Links to recognized charities and personal websites are permitted provided that these sites do not contain anything that we would not allow here. Signatures will not be automatically added to previous posts if you did not have a signature at the time of posting no signature will appear even after being added to your profile. Changes made to a signature WILL alter your previous posts as long as a signature was included at the time the post was made. Avatars: We believe that the use of avatars personalizes our community and makes it feel more like home. After you register we encourage you to edit your profile and upload an avatar to personalize your experience at Microsoft Windows Bulletin Board.

Been thinking about adding a Twitter account for this forum. I have them for all the others I own. What you think?

I'll be first to introduce myself to anyone that happens along. My name is Bob Schwarz and I am the owner of this community as well as a few other which are all a part of Schwarz Network. I am an avid Microsoft supporter and also a beta tester of Microsoft software. I like to be on the bleeding edge so I will run the betas as my main software. In doing so I learn a lot. I will use Microsoft Help Forums to share that knowledge and help people.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you also. Welcome to the community also.

I didn't think you could use a photo for a screen saver.

Welcome to the new Microsoft Operating Systems Forum.

Hello back at you and welcome to the community.

Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy the community.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome. We're always gentle.

Welcome Richard and glad to have you here to help.

(thumbslinger1058587) Yep, it was far cheaper to get an HP laptop with the Adobe CS4 suite via an educational package than to get a new Mac laptop so I did. 18 year Mac veteran (I'm an art director) but now also using Vista. So far, I love it. Best advice I've had... disable auto-updates from Microsoft.. Vista for Dummies is awesome (as is AskWoody.com, the author) I've had zero problems. Best thing about Vista (working in Windows) for me so far? The free apps like FileZilla that work 100% perfectly and provide what I need instead of having to buy numerous small apps. Hello everyone If you like Vista you'll love Windows 7. Windows has it's advantages in the area of free software. Welcome to the Windows World.

Are you getting any kind of error messages? When you say it doesn't work what do you mean? A little more detail will help to solve the problem

Welcome to the community.

Go with Vista x64. That is what I use and love it.
