Never did work out why I couldnt use dial up. Phoned AOL and heard a message telling us that broadband was down for BT customers in my area (no shit sherlock,I tried telling them that yesterday, but they wouldn`t listen to me ), asked AOL to help me find out what was wrong with dial up, and they kept giving me the same damn number over again to dial up on........
READ MY LIPS DIPSHITS, I CANT DIAL OUT ON THAT NUMBER, SO IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU GIVE IT TO ME!
Try this they told me, then you will be online
I try it, phone back to tell a different advisor that it wont work, and they start putting me through steps to try it again
I phone up dial up support to be told they cant help me because I am a broadband member, I explain broadband told me to talk to them because I am setting up dial up............
He says he doesnt know how he can help me
I refuse to be transferred to another adviser, my tone wasnt too happy at this point, so he puts me on hold whilst he talks to another advisor, comes back, and I discover he doesnt even know how to set up a new number on the software, and refuses to listen to me when I am telling him that the steps he is talking me through will only put me through the procedure that will get the browser to connect online to retreive access numbers. Lets just put me online to get numbers which will get me online! :crazy:
He kept getting confused because the screen he wanted me to get wasn`t appearing!
THAT`S BECAUSE YOU ARE ASKING ME TO GO TO THE WRONG SCREENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LISTEN TO ME YOU FUCKING DEAF AND RETARDED IDIOT, YOU NEED TO GO TO EXPERT SET UP ETC
and I`VE ALREADY DONE IT ANYWAY, YOU GOT ME TO DELETE THE PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS SO YOU CAN TALK ME THROUGH IT AGAIN ONLY TO FIND YOU DONT KNOW HOW, AND REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TELL YOU YOU ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG BUT IF YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW, ITS THIS PAGE HERE!!!!!
He asks me to try logging on, and he will phone back to see if I was successful. I knew I wouldn`t be.
ESPECIALLY AS WE`D DELETED THE EXISTING IDENTICAL ACCESS NUMBERS TWO ADVISORS HAD GIVEN ME BEFORE HIM
How the fuck does he expect me to get online with AOL with no aol access numbers at all?!!
What is so hard to understand about
Two different PCs, unformatted, formatted, two different windows systems, four different modems, (complete with drivers) three different phone cables and a phone that can connect to a working line, and the access numbers, both AOL access and net wizard access numbers not being able to connect
MUST MEAN THAT THE PROBLEM ISN`T WITH ME?!!!!
OMFG,And to think I thought I was crap at my job!
BT were just as bad
I am ditching AOL asap and taking up BT broadband, so next time I have a problem I only have to deal with one set of idiots instead of two.........
And when I phone BT to request broadband with them, that is exactly what I will be telling them.

Women and machines!!

Not being a chatroom user I don't care if I have a +, a gold star, a silver stocking or a metal plate... but it all looks a tad fishy. And Blue's right - there are a lot of room ops coming into the forum and making waves, and not the Mexican type ones either.

For those of us that went to the "Night of the Senses" earlier in the year (and for those who didn't) there is a two page photo spread from some of the evenings events.
Memories come flooding back. An excellent night reccommended to all the unshockables out there.

Venus it did't get 'nasty' as the chatroom admins wouldn't even debate it initially, our good Mark did, but no one in the first 4 pages (skimmed through) has been from the chatroom ops. When we started getting replies, they were along the lines of Us and Them.

I might be treading on 'dangerous toes' but as a Professor of Law I am quite prepared for the consequences and to defend myself; thanks for thr warning but it was unnecessary.

If some people cannot understand plain English (my turn to level a personal insult) then I feel sorry for them.

+m (and it's m not M) is a useful tool if the channel gets hit by a flooder. This has only happened once since I've been opping SH. And that was tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Psssst - What's a flooder?? :shock:

Quote by YouAintSeenMeRite
but the mere possibility that such a course of action would actually be feasible at some point, and ***could*** be contemplated, is IMO more than adequate reason to kill this.
