Look at the source. See JavaScript embedded in the post. Lots of cryptic looking stuff. There's an if. if the if is true, pop up a message box. If it's false, redirect the window. What's the condition? Well it's checking the textbox against something so obviously the one that's referencing the document is that and the conditional is against \x70\x68\x61\x73\x65\x34. Run a basic hex->string converter and you get phase4. Enter that and you get taken to a new page with a word riddle. Phase 4 I was born in 1969, but it took four years before I was defined. As I grew old, I was not called upon nearly as much as when I was young. My lucky numbers are 15 and 854. I am on the 7th floor, but there are no more above me. When you have discovered who I am, kindly direct me to teamliquid.net. He's R1CH so it's obviously something programm-y. Quick search of "programming languages 1969 15 854 7" gives Telnet as the 3rd result. So open telnet and connect to teamliquid.net Unfortunately I have to restart to use telnet (not enabled by default on W7 -.-) so that's where I'll stop. It's really not that hard of a puzzle. | ||

Programming, computer hardware, networking, streaming gurus, etc, should be given them. I know you're joking, but there's no way you could qualify posters without simply reading their posts regarding the stuff they say they know. I go to school for network and telecom engineering, so I think I'm fine giving advice on that, but I only semi know what I'm talking about in some other tech support genres. i don't know who you know is joking, I'm assuming you are not referring to me. The people i imagine would get a special tech support icon are people who post there alot, always with helpful advice. They don't post advice on stuff they don't know, and are pretty clear on what they are sure about and what they are not so sure about. | ||

Some people can have helpful suggestions if they aren't sure but are making a recommendation that wouldn't hurt to try. If it's a hardware question for example that has a definite answer, I agree about only posting if they are educated, but I've also seen people make a suggestion they weren't sure of that helped the OP in many occasions on things that don't always have a definite answer. no disagreements here | ||

But anyway, I think that the blue background / highlighted post idea should be ported over to the tech support forum (as Sonuvbob stated above). I always see solid advice from skyr and jinglehell, so I'd hope that they get highlighted. I can also attest to myrmidon's competency as he was extremely helpful to me when I was building my computer back in the winter (it turned out great!). A lot of the time I see people talking out of their asses and arguing with people like jinglehell when he is clearly right, and I feel like jingle spends a lot of time trying to convince the OP (or whoever needs help) not to take the advice of, ahem, *under-informed* posters. I think highlighting the well informed and intelligent members of the tech support forum would limit the amount of idiots trying to argue with professionals, and if they spend less time arguing they can spend more time helping! | ||
