Help! 'Poly counts as 'games'

[Nikolai]

Why?
Writing [color=blue]*something*[/color} seems to work fine for me? What is so good with this me thing?

[Adagio]

Because blue text on blue background is not a good mix

[Rasbelin]

And it's not good policy doing so. The /me feature should be used as that's the corrent one for using your astral body to do things like this:

/me grabs Nikolai and gives a good slapping for being naughty to ol' Skanky.

[Nikolai]

Blue background? You people are weird... Do you really use that ugly theme?
/me Nikolai tries the me tag thingie.

[Nikolai]

...with doubious result I see...

[Adagio]

The blue theme is the only theme that doesn't hurt my eye...

[Shogun Gunner]

/me likes the blue Moo theme

And update Hangman

Edit: In any case, go to http://www.openproxies.com/, write down a random address and port. Go to Tools->Options->General->Connection Settings. Manual proxy configuration. Plot in the address and port you picked up earlier, and see if it works now. If it doesn't, try a different proxy. Open and free ones tend to be sluggish, though.

It depends on what sort of filter they are using, this helps if a router is broken down and preventing any connections whatsoever, but if the filter is somehow content sensitive (i.e. still realizes that you are browsing Poly, just through a different route) you may be out of luck.

Thanks for this post with actual content - seemingly a rarity in this thread.

I did some research today and I will try the proxy stuff tomorrow. Thing is they are taking this whole blocking thing seriously - tonnes of sites are blocked, including many of the main sites used to find proxies.

I'll also check out other browsers.

What you need is to become friends with your network admin at work. Then you will have access to whatever site you wish

..or become an admin yourself...or,or become a civ programmer, that's even better, then you get payed to brouwse this site.

Yeah, being nice to technical support is an option. Last resort though.

Bah! Quit job.

I considered it. But in the long term being broke means no broadband, so it isn't worth it.
