Are you on an up to date build of the beta release?

I am guessing not. Latest build here https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 469#p33469

Time for an eye test? Maybe you should read this? - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3968

Also, could you hold back from using the term 'Spazzing' as I find it offensive!

Antonio,

Please DO NOT use that type of language as in your subject on this forum. It will not be appreciated. You were worried about getting banned because of your ads, you are more likely to get banned using terms like you have in your topic heading.

One other thing. please remember, you are helping to test a BETA version of Cumulus. When things go wrong, you do not need to scream and shout 'what on earth is this?' It is the wrong attitude to give to this forum and also Steve who is developing this wonderful software.

Another please, take time to look through this forum, the Eurekalog message has already been discussed a few times before. That's the idea of a forum, search first and if you really can't find an answer then post a question.

Now please, take some time before posting anything.

gotta admit, when i got that message earlier, i hit the search function first, hence finding out i needed to update to the latest beta, and all that without asking

Rant on.

I probably should leave this alone but I can't. After reading this thread, and not knowing the slang meaning of "Spazzing out", I Googled "Spazzing out" and found absolutely nothing offensive in the entire first page of definitions. I might suggest that much as "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" offensive words or phrases might also be. It seems to me that the Word Police force should be limited to a single person (whose name starts with Stev.) and to suggest one might be banned from the forum is the height of "Spazzing out"!!!

Rant Off

Might I suggest that a quick look in this dictonary may help clarify things.... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... azzing+out

AS someone with Epilepsy & Aspergers Syndrome, I personally find any term relating to the term 'Spaz' offensive!

[robynfali]

I tend to agree with the above, and if you refer back about 20 years, the word "spaz" was a highly used slang word for disabled people.

Would it not be far easier to say "the program is not working", after all, its not that the program was going crazy, it was merely not starting up at all.

Poor choice of words, lesson learned, leave it there?
