In the latest version of YW (Dec 7) the night sky appears to have more shooting stars than usual.
Is this a setting that can be adjusted manually?
They were just right in the Dec 4 release.
I'm looking forward to the Christmas surprises and don't want to miss anything!
Love and hugs

Re: Shooting stars
Hi Pamela,
you posted the same here http://yowindow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2286 and got an answer from Reinhart. Where is your problem?
Perhaps you can find an answer to your question here

Re: Shooting stars
There definetly must be something wrong.
Pamela, please let me know what is the interval between star shoots in average?
Pamela, please let me know what is the interval between star shoots in average?
Approach to YW problem over past few days:
- Feel bitter, uninstall YW completely, clean registry, clean cache and POUT for days.
Calm down, read nice reply by Par and his request for data.
Feel guilty/foolish, download and reinstall latest version of YW and get ready to count shooting stars per every ten seconds.
...
YW behaves perfectly.
Conclusion; "problems" with YW are more likely to be my laptop simply needing a good clean first.
*feeling very silly*

Re: Shooting stars
I've never seen shooting stars, but I *do* like seeing passenger jet airplanes flying by... even at night!!

Yes, she posted it there but received an off-hand response from a moderator basically saying that she had posted in the wrong forum - maybe that's why she asked here?Mallorca wrote:Hi Pamela,

I'm sorry, but I have to say that I find some of the moderators here very rude and unhelpful - never Par, he's great. I'm sure that it's very off-putting to new people

It is my and the other moderators job (beside other things) to take care that postings are posted in the right forum and to take care that there are no double-postings.
If you say some moderators are very rude and unhelpful, i definitely request that you to tell us which moderators you mean and when and in which posts those moderators were rude and unhelpful.
You should be able to prove your accusations.
If you are not able to do that, i demand an excuse.

Maybe you're right, maybe you aren't.
I would like to emphasize that English isn't always our native language and can therefor easily be misunderstood.
I can assure you that for the most of us, especially the moderators, we're out there to help you.
If we don't succeed in that right away, it could be that either we don't understand eachother right (or right away), ie the one asking isn't clear enough, or the one answering doesn't fully understand what's being asked.
If that's what appears to be the fact, we would welcome someone like you - from England - to clear up things for us!
So instead of blaming eachother, let's just try to understand and be as clear as we can.
To give you an impression:
I could consider you as being less kind, since you don't seem to want to give us your name.
I can only address you as frogger.
For me personally that's not as friendly as I would like it to be.
That doesn't make me angry to you though!
Maybe it's just the way you like it, or maybe you've simply not given it any thought. Maybe something else, it's alright.
It could just be a different way of looking at things, right?
Thanks for your understanding,
Fred

Re: Shooting stars
Hi friends,
I fully agree with Reinhart!
Since July 2010 I’m now a member of this forum and get more and more the opinion that the „sound“ is going in the wrong direction.
Reasons:
• Some people have obviously the opinion that this forum ist the commercial helpdesk of Yowindow and the moderators are the hotline.
• Some people have a bad nursery (no name, no please, no thank you)
• Some people are too lazy to use the search funktion or other helpfull possibilities like Google or Wikipedia before they post.
• Some people posts questions in a shallow manner without any details.
• Some people don’t answer when we asking for more details.
• Some people post in the wrong forum or make double postings.
• We have a lot of examples of this points, but show me one example were moderators are „rude, unpolite or unhelpfull“!
• In contrary some people show a absolutely antisocial behaviour.
So I thank Reinhart for his clear words!
Werner
