My own forum.

I have had so much trouble with forums that I thought that I would try something different. I have just created my own forum with a free forum hosting site,Forumotion.

And my forum is about computers,Windows and Linux. And also about forums and web hosting. That is creating a blog or website and using social network sites like Digg and Facebook. The disadvantage is that my forum is hosted on a free forum site and not on my own custom domain like this blog is. Which means that your site is not as secure as it is when you are hosting on a custom domain.As they can delete your site or forum any time. But if your site is hosted on your own custom domain they cannot.

Why are forums so difficult?

I have been posting on Windows forums recently.But I have also had a lot of bad experiences with forums.

Last October I was banned for life from Seven Forums for doing nothing wrong. And then a few hours later I was banned for life from Expert Law Forums for posting about my ban from Seven Forums.And back April this year I was banned for life from Windows 7 Forums and Windows 8 Forums. But a few weeks ago the ban on me was lifted and I am now back on Windows 7 Forums and Windows 8 Forums.

But as you may guess I have had more problems with forums. And I find a lot of forums difficult to get on with. And a lot of my experiences with forums have been bad ones.

How to avoid update to Windows Live Essentials 2011.

Microsoft issued a mandatory update in July 2012 on Windows Vista with Service Pack 2,Windows 7 and Windows 8. To upgrade Windows Live Essentials 2009 version to Windows Live Essentials 2011 version. Here in this shorter video,I show you how to avoid the mandatory upgrade and keep Windows Live Essentials 2009 version. And you will also be able to carry on using Windows Live Messenger 2009.

Avoid mandatory upgrade to Windows Live Essentials 2011 version.

Here is one of my videos in which I show you how to avoid the mandatory update to Windows Live Essentials 2011 version.

How to avoid mandatory upgrade to Windows Live Essentials 2011.

I have been using Windows Live Essentials 2009,the Windows XP version,since I bought my first laptop. When Windows Live Essentials 2011 version came out at the end of 2010, I tried it on my Windows 7 netbook. And I knew right away I did not like it.

There have since been several updated versions of WLE 2011, and I have tried it several times, but I don't like WLE 2011.There are over 100 reasons why I don't like WLE 2011 version,too many to list here.

But the main reasons are,Windows Live Messenger 2011 is not the same as WL Messenger 2009 and the previous versions of WL Messenger.
