Impulsively Tired

all I was was to be animated

So....

I made (or.. apparently tried to make) a post last night on the Impulse Forums.... can't find it anywhere.

I don't know if it's because:

1) the forums have been going 'BOOM' quite a bit this weekend (at least for me).

2) TrendMicro doesn't like IMPULSEivness:

Going to the Impulse forums using Impulse or any browser... I'm bombarded with warnings...

I had read for the animations on the Halloween skin I needed 6.30.100

SDC shows I have 6.30.099 with no update available

Impulse shows I have 6.30.099 with no update available

Impulse's Dock says there's an update - which is not available using the dock apparently

The question(s) I had posted included:

1) what version of netframework is needed for Impulse? Currently I have NFW 1.1 & 2.0... but I don't know if I need 3.0 or 3.5 & whether it can be installed alongside the other 2 or does one, the other or both need to be removed.

2) how can you tell if Impulse is updating itself with no status bar?

3) why does Impulse keep popping out a message telling me it's decided to work offline since it can't connect to the servers, yet I can use Impulse to go to the forums, chat, etc (at least chat doesn't give me warnings)

4) why does Impulse always say I'm not logged in?

5) how can I get it to log in? I tried to manually log in using the change my log in procedures but it can't connect to the servers

6) I have earthlink dialup w/accelerator - TrendMicro 2007 w/firewall - proxy is set to localhost 8080 which seems to work on everything else (SDC included)

7) will WB6.30.100 ever be available on SDC? I have no probs with SDC - it opens and IDs updates within a minute

I'm willing to work with Impulse, but dammit Capn uh dunna think uh ken hold er

Having just connected my brother up to dial-up I now know what you have been going through.The Pony Express transferred data faster. And with less horses**t involved at that. Congrats on getting a better connection.

I had DSL Lite in SC and while it wasn't nearly as fast as the cable service I have now,it was reliable for the most part and no waiting to connect. Too bad my bro can't get DSL or cable,but it's unavailable where he lives.

Thanks Wiz... been putting with it since 2003

SP2 full version - download and save - 33+ hrs

and I find it somewhat irritating and sad that so many people live in some imaginary world where broadband is a given everywhere... anytime someone has an issue due to dialup and downloads they all jump in shouting get a better connection...

just noticed... Impulse at this post says me karma is 117, at WC it's 120, at SDC its 66

yet copying the link to me karma while within impulse (showing 117) is the link to me karma at WC (showing 120)

edit - and apparently if a page is fully loaded, you get extra stuff like edit button - too cool
