Since I see it's gone, I'm going to go back to my regular headshot! ... The point of the letter was to show Multiply we didn't like being branded, without a choice!

(Well, I don't have a Premium account... this was done by those who had a free account & wanted to support those who did have the P put on without there consent!!)

That's over with now... I hope!!! :o)

I just wanted to let you all know, I'll be posting quite a few videos from today. ... So, I'll probably be loading up your inboxes.

Well, our wonderful Kitty Cat has done it again... She done thunk up a great idea to drill the point home to Multiply that we don't like that P to "brand" us for having a Premium account. (Well, when I say "we"... I mean those who have upgraded.)

Anyway, Caghs has gone & put a B on her headshot... & she's helping others put a letter of choice on there's. (I'll have one on mine soon!!) (I have mine now... It's R for RAMBLER!)

So... with that said... Multiply has a poll listed for you to vote on if you like the idea of a letter to show you've upgraded (or not!) EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT upgraded, you can still vote. Just CLICK HERE!!! :o)

P.S. Caghs says for those who'd like one of their own are to send her a PM with your letter & color choice.

What? I'm a human? (answer as to why that message)

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

Ok... I have a contact who works at Multiply (don't ask for the name, I won't give it. Mainly because I bug this person enough! LOL)... & here's the answer why some of you get a message verifying you're a human.....

*******
You only get that message if your computer is loading an extraordinary number of pages from Multiply at once. This usually suggests that the user either 1) is using some type of "accelerator" program or browser plugin that's designed to load all the links on the page they're currently viewing in the background so that they load instantly when they click, or 2) some form of spyware that repeatedly hammers pages in a similar manner.

Either way, these peoples' computers place an extraordinary amount strain on servers and they need to disable whatever is doing this, as they're using resources that would otherwise be making Multiply faster for everyone. So here are some suggestions:

* Run a spyware check on your computer, especially if you use Windows. There are a bunch of free programs for doing so (but I'm not up to date on which are the good ones to use these days). Something you're not aware of could be accessing pages on the Internet, including Multiply.
* See if you have any browser plugins or "accelerator" programs on your computer (these typically claim to make browsing faster) and disable them. They are able to do this by using servers in an abusive manner, loading tons of links that you haven't actually clicked, but might. (These might also mess with viewing histories on Multiply, making a contact of yours think that you've viewed a post of theirs that you haven't.)
* If you're not sure how to check for these programs or plugins, it might be a good idea to try a different browser and see you can surf using that without bumping into the 'verify' page. (For instance, try Internet Explorer if you're having trouble with Firefox, Firefox if you're having trouble with IE. There's also Opera, Safari and so on.)
* Or, if this doesn't work and you have access to another computer (work? public library? friend's house?), maybe try your account there, to see if the problem persists, for the purposes of troubleshooting.

********
Ok, does that answer it for you? I know, some of you are like, HUH? Tell you what... just run an ANTI-SPYWARE search... & clear off anything it finds. I'll warn you, it may find a ton of "tracking cookies" you 1st time around... but those are (I was told) pretty harmless... but still good to clear them every so often.

I personally have yet to get this message. *knocks on wood*. So, I can't really be of any help beyond this.

(OH.... a link to a good ANTI-SPYWARE program is AVG by Grissoft.

Hope this helps! :)

Back in business!! :o)
