http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6867193Untitled.jpg I can sit with it like that until the cows come home - No progress though.

Same, but not with all files for me. Using SRWare Iron I had this problem with trying to download BOSS 1.7 installer, the archive version downloaded fine but the first 6 or 7 attempts to grab the installer nearly completed ... but hung at just before download completion. Right now I have the same problem with Wrye Python 04 file, its been hung for about 10 minutes now circa 95% complete, which prompted me to search out if anyone else was getting un-usual behaviour without changing browser or any system or anti-malware or firewall settings recently.

Thank you :), its a lot better than managing multiple windows. :) Yep that works, thank you - http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8173653Untitled.jpg I think this may also be a problem for Google chrome users in the not too distant future too, SRWare Iron is grabbed from the Chromium Dev builds, usually a bit more ahead of the updates to Google Chrome Stable and Beta channels.

A New problem with downloads http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4034412Untitled.jpg No matter how big I make the pop up window in SRWare Iron, there is no longer a scroll bar on the right to get down to selecting a server. I presume this would be the same whether using mvps hosts file to block bad url's or not, the space dominated at the top by a video having been shown would still push the server options off the bottom. (See this topic http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/302120-mvps-hosts-file-detrimental-or-advised/ for my reasons, should anyone wish to advise me not to block anything) On a laptop on windows 7, the window cannot be dragged any further up to get more vertical space. And the scroll bar now missing on the right of the window effectively disables your ability to select a server. Can we have these pop up windows go back to being able to open the download by right clicking on the file and choosing open in a new Tab again?, in a new tab I believe a scroll bar would show.

Ahah! thats how you do it :thumbsup: Thanks Dark0ne, apologies for taking you away from bigger priorities.

Once you add another user ID in the relevant box to enable that user to edit your file, is there anything else needs to be done, or should that user then get the edit file options?. Just wondering if it needs any further admin/moderator approval or is it just another by-product of the site anomolies and the recent changes (Been waiting a day, no change) I have been entered as an additional to edit http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37336#fileanchor, and have an update ready to go for the bain but no joy editing.

@ Leetgamer - Bit of self promo :) but could you add Wrye Bash Pictorial Guide in there somewhere? In fact the whole Wrye Bash, BOSS, Install order and Load order importance to modding Oblivion. Also applicable to OBMM so how you want to mix it up is your prerogative ... maybe a bit OTT for the target audience (who may never read it of course :D), but for completions sake. I occasionally have a look around nexus forum for something similar to Bethsoft Oblivion Mods FAQ, I think your topic comes closest. Edit: Also reference Archiveinvalidation, I occasionally see people with problems deriving from using BSA Alteration, which has long been accepted as a successful method - But a safer and just as effective method is BSA Redirection, which by default Wrye Bash and OBMM/OBMMex use. Edit: Might be worth mentioning the continued development of Scenttree's OBMMex too.

Yes, I think I have drawn the same conclusions as you evilneko, its a sad state of affairs and the problem lies I think with how ad vendors have become the hungry dog eat dog buccaneers of the world, how they operate, and how honourable they are (or rather aren't). Obfuscated methods of intruding on our digital lives are always going to be the same avenues less desireables will use. Bit of a 'rock and a hard place' problem really, money being the root of all evil. And I guesse anyone trying to answer the questions in the OP in any official capacity will be a bit un-comfortable really. At least we in the PC world have a minor reprieve recently, I understand the trend for malware is moving fast over to clueless mobile users installing shiny apps as fast as marketing can push them on their more capable but less secure communication devices, lots of ID content up for the taking. :pirate:

:biggrin: I like the Vilja quote

Is using the MVPS Hosts File detrimental to the nexus sites revenue gain from Ads?. Or, on the other hand would the site recommend use of such protection measures. The guys that have been working on that list have been around for a long time and are very well respected. Its a proven good security layer for a lot of ills on the internet. It also does the same job AdBlockPlus does I think more effectively (unless the hosts file becomes compromised of course) because you do not need another plugin slowing down/complicating your browsers functions. Main point - They also have to be careful and mind their P's and Q's with regards to who they include in the hosts file. I believe not just to make sure they are not blocking the wrong people but also for legal reasons. See this section of the site for Criteria used when decisions for inclusion in the hosts file are made Whilst using this, I do not see ads on any nexus sites (even the new necessary video feeds before a download commences, I see a blank space and the countdown in the pop up window for each download) Further question to the topic title ... Are the Ads served via Nexus sites not as carefully scrutinised as MVPS list is (obviously if I am not seeing any of them here, the hosts file is blocking everything you have set up to gain revenue from free users), I realise you cannot ever be as expert in the same field as they are. Which leads me onto my final question - What percentage of people does the site consider acceptable to be potentially subject to the multitude of tricks associated with utilising ads connections (potentially with malware) and the resulting damage/loss of personal software/equipment/time, who are currently subject to all those connections currently deemed bad news by the MVPS team? I would like to support the site and its 'methods' and drop the hosts file, however the criteria which blocks the same as noted above seems pretty comprehensive, and well researched on a regular monthly basis to keep on top of shifting targets. And I visit far more sites than just nexus, so I consider not using it a very bad option, especially when we have advanced ransomware lurking out there just waiting for a mistake/window of opportunity to encrypt our hard drives rendering them useless - I cant afford to lose my machine.

This is not a poke at your need for advertising btw, I trust the management of the sites, I just dont trust advertisers (bigger scallywags than pirates IMHO) and the multiple sources which you cannot possibly monitor (as has become evident quite recently with piggyback malware associated with advertising)

Also noticed recently when logging out from TESNexus this happens .... http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=9340450Untitled.jpg Too much URL tracking? To go back to TESNexus after a log out, I need to run CCleaner first.

With any fork of the Chrome browser, we used to be able to right click on a file to download and open it in another tab. First advantage was that downloads appear in the bottom of the main window alongside each other, and you did not need to open up downlaod history to view progress of multiple downloads (and thus you know when all downloads are complete and can close the connection) Second advantage is extensions, in new tabs, extensions are active in the sandboxed process of each tab - In pop-up windows they are not. So any protection extensions to chrome become I believe effectively disabled while downloading. For instance the new AdBlockPlus for Chromium, and Ghostery blocking Web Bugs (for instance such as eXtreME Tracker, Comscore Beacon, Google analytics and OpenX) Third advantage - You dont have multiple pop-up windows! Can we have this behaviour reverted please - Or is this yet another unfortunate side effect of advertising. I dont see any adverts in pop-ups (probably because of the mvps hosts file I use (unwise not to these days)), but I have seen that mentioned even for premium users - Being addressed at the moment. Current behaviour when you right click a file and choose open in new tab ... You just get a duplicate of the page you are looking at, instead of the old behaviour of commencing choosing download server, and the download commencing thereafter in the new tab.

Got it! - Auto-fill puts your user id in the confirm new email address box which you have to change :rolleyes:

okay new problem - Changing email address, I keep getting The entered Email address do not match, erm, thats because its a new email address which the form asks for, you go through the I am human steps only to be thrown that error ??? - Been through it 3 times now checking I am doing everything right but get the same error ... confused.com Until this is resolved I cannot delete my compromised email address otherwise my account here will no longer be valid. Frustrated.

Aah, thats where the spam for appendage 'enlargement' has come from :) - successfully blocked by my email server anyway, guesse its time for a new email address, it was a throw-away one so no biggy.

Please disregard, I was tired when posting the above and thought wrongly that Tesnexus also utilised the same facebook connect button bethsoft uses, as previously mentioned I do not use facebook, and so could not connect through facebook if I wanted to ... the issue was not related to this site but a consequence of the changes made, seemed also to increase performance of this one. Which gave rise to my thought that something on this site in connection with facebook may be causing a bottleneck for users page loads here also. I now believe this was wrong and have deleted the OP. If you wish to delete these posts please do so. Edit: Oh lord, I am now a Fan, Enthusiast was nice but Fan, brings me memories of that film Misery, and the No.1 Fan, please please please delete these two posts so I can go back to 249 posts and stay there indefinately :D

Please disregard previous posting

Aah, noob uploader fubar on my part. Oh well I have been getting good experienced feedback on bethsoft so its not important. And obviously saves you guys more work monitoring problem posters, I was anticipating the subject matter generating a lot of frustrated installation questions which should not be my concern, which is why initially I did not allow them. Anyway no problem, thank you.

If a file uploader has previously disabled endorsements, is there a timeout whereby the option to re-enable them is forever lost? I just cant seem to be able to find the option at the moment.

:thumbsup: And in the spirit of "helping to visualize" ...... Wrye Bash Pictorial Guide for Newbies

glad to see I am not the only one thinks that is weird, it does not give you confidence if the settings you set dont seem to be ... set. Crippknottick quoted my post earlier.. which was erm, a different subject to pink banners, but it still remained un-addressed, so not sure if it will be looked into.

:whistling: Its a good thing I got a move on with the first pdf then, for the first few days it was a no file page with just the images uploaded constituting the tutorial, there have been a few versions and expansion on files since.. but I may have been getting close to drawing attention initially - Noted for any other future projects :thumbsup:

Aah right, thanks Buddah, so uploaders WITH files may ignore it - It just seems a bit ominous "Crap what have I done wrong!" or "Is this part of the site scripting fubarred, am I about to be banned by a mentalist site bot for doing nothing wrong? - bad bot".. :D

erm - seems like this is a bit of a hot topic currently ... Not a wronged mass here .. but an additional question to my last one a few posts back which remains un-answered (apologies if I am asking in the wrong topic but the title seems appropriate for my questions - noob uploader) New question: Reference those Pink warnings Do they ever go away?, they seem to be rather sticky no matter what options you have chosen. If thats intentional behaviour and pink banners are to be blaring at you loud and clear every time fair enough, but currently I have a Pink banner warning me I will be banned if I do not upload any files ... Which is obviously wrong.
