    Welcome (back?) to the forum, Im not completely aware of all mods, and I do think Techtarget, despite basically giving up on forums generally speaking also had a hand in the rules that were put in place. Some of the mods are here and have thankfully agreed to help us run the moderation team, that being said, if you feel slighted in some particular scenario please PM us. We are just as human as the rest of us and there times where mistakes are made. I am certainly not above this either. Heres to helping the forum grow and spreading knowledge to the consumer! :)

    Are you using the internal panel or external? The Alienware laptops of that era could switch around (as you know) so sometime I think maybe that's why they had better results? No idea, could be a list of parts contributing to input lag.
  3. Reciever
    Would love to see it when you complete the comparison!
  4. Reciever
    Lets try to keep it similar to NBR. That being said if you want to engage in that discussion in a PM that is perfectly fine.
  5. Reciever
    Well you should probably dig into it yourself if your so bothered about it. I have no idea, nor is it my responsibility to provide receipts for that as it holds no merit or principle in terms of this discussion.
  6. Reciever
    The rules have been the same since before this forums inception. The PG aspect of this forum was inherited by NBR which such a determination years before this forum's inception. Also, you agreed to the terms when signing up for the forum, which are linked in the Terms of Service when creating an account. Which is hosted in a couple of location , one you described in your post and one other. See here: https://efgxt.net/terms/ You can demo Invision for 14 days. See here: https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/demo/ This by definition, is something you can grab and test.

    If you have such criticism for a software you admit yourself "dont know much about" then I would recommend the same advise you, yourself, dont seem follow despite recommending to others. Hone your argument so you can critique something in a productive manner. Just like in the other posts that I have had to curtail on your behalf, as you seem to selectively follow the rules here. A lot of your criticisms that you have pointed towards Invisionboard are a direct reflection on decisions made by the Admins on this forum. This goes without saying, but I will lay it out regardless that this means a majority of the issues you claim to have with Invision are in fact issues with decisions made by myself and @Hiew while still pointing towards Invision in ignorance.

    @K4sum1 Would you like to suggest something else that works with this forum software?

    I agree with you if it wasnt for the fact that it was the second sale, and the second time that forum screwed its userbase. None of the changes made were a consequence of the forum moving to something else instead of what it was, who ever they sold to uses x software therefore OCN will now use x software. userbase be damned. Changed the domain to overclock.com even though its known as OCN (only to revert to overclock.net anyways) Deleted member flares (1-5 Flames for REP counts) Deleted Seller REP Stopped MOTM Stopped Case Mod of the Month Broke and Deleted Curated News Got rid of the Blue flame for a time Downright insulting and condescending Moderators (after the original guard had retired) Thats just what I recall, and I havent logged in over there since either 2017 or 2018.

    This forum isn't phpbb, so it's irrelevant for this thread. If you would like to make a review of each product I would be interested in reading it. However, it doesn't belong here.
  11. Reciever
    From what OCN originally was to where it is now, xenforo did absolutely nothing to either maintain or promote growth of that community. That's what happens when the site gets sold twice and it's user base is tossed around and told to deal with it. OCN was my original forum to post and its basically dead to me. This was mostly due to the ignorance and lack of laptop information.
  12. Reciever
    We went with Invisionboard because of the modularity that possible with it, no guarantees of course but I will put it on the list and see if it's viable for us here.
  13. Reciever
    Those rules are by design. In my opinion if you must see results before voting then it's not your vote anymore. Had absolutely nothing to do with Invision,and everything to do with the Admin team actually putting that in place. Next, I'm going to kindly ask that you operate within the rules you agreed to about less than 24 hours ago. Keep it PG rated. Next I am of the mindset that we need to allow for growth in other genre's or at the very least allow it grow. This is not to be confused with becoming an all purpose forum, or LTT. In fact we looked at LTT as example of how vague we don't want to leave our sub-forums generally speaking. The ideas and movements I have in mind for the forum (I believe) would set us apart as it's something that doesn't exist on any other forum that I am currently aware of. That all being said it would require much more from the members if we were to attempt building that out. Something I will announce soon after some additional consultation and review. If it's simply a matter of guiding other NBR members here we could have a thread named Notebookreview - from the ashes or something that makes sense from a search engine perspective.

    I had previously announced a couple of times that this would be coming up at 10PM CST, but I didnt factor in the members who may not surf every day. I made a small edit to provide more context.

    I'd like a 13" AW laptop, had the AW13 R3 but I was a bit misled (and a bit ignorant) as it has the Fn key for Graphics switching but there was no MUX on it so it doesnt actually switch anything...I had it for a year, really liked the chassis but I cant get used to the input lag Optimus can introduce.
  16. Reciever
    I remember the day of, went to school but at a certain part of the day there were no more lessons. I do remember the next day a lot of people stayed home, my mother at the time, told me that unless there were mushroom clouds just as sure as the sun rise each day I would be at school.
  17. Reciever
    Also everyone feel free to discuss here and or via PM's etc etc Its a community decision, there is no reason to not talk about it. :) Core-PC sounded simple enough and NBCore a summarized reversal Core of NoteBook(review)
  18. Reciever
    Good Evening everyone! The time has come to decide how we want to represent ourselves. Thanks for being patient with us! :) Chris If we have a close call between 2 or more names then we will create another thread for the final contestants where arguments can be made for what you feel would be the best name for the forum. 2/23/2022 EDIT: I have changed the header on the top of the page to reflect the new name. Nothing else has changed at this time. Both Notebooktalk.net as well as EFGXT.net will continue to point here for quite some time and as mentioned by @joluke is already in service for when we make the change to the domain.
  19. Reciever
    It serves a purpose, which is why its in place. I know that the basis for this forum is not exactly standard fare, but I cant account for everyone so we will have an even playing field for everyone. (or starting point)
  20. Reciever
    You want to partake in the marketplace in this community, going to need to have some skin in the game.
  21. Reciever
    The issue with copying the structure verbatim is we dont have nearly the same traffic quite yet, plus I have something else in mind for Reviews coming in the pipeline.
  22. Reciever
    Thanks :) I know through time I could find every model and have them listed, however despite the healthy starting point we dont have enough traffic to justify a sub-forum for every system. Ideally we would want to be able to have those threads kept in some degree of isolation so that splitting them remains a viable task without overburdening the moderators as well as Admin's. I have a few ideas still in infancy, but I would like to hear more opinions before I take any actions. BTW @Tenoroon I will get the MXM cards out back to you on Saturday, dont think I have forgotten about you! I'll PM you with the tracking number Saturday afternoon :)
  23. Reciever
    I have been looking at the Sager section a little bit and was thinking it might need some love in a similar token to how Alienware is currently formatted. Forgive me, all, I am not as familiar with all the different models of Clevo/Sager/Eurocom systems.

    TheReciever which was kindly changed to Reciever by @Charles P. Jefferies Registered in 2012, started posting regularly I believe in 2015/2016 after I ditched OCN.

    Hello

    Reciever replied to Blacky's topic in General Discussion

    Avid Linux user? Honestly I think Linux may get more of a fair shake in the coming years as Steam has done a lot of work with Proton as well as the steam deck running Arch. I know it probably won't 1:1 benefit pc at large but given that a lot users aren't too keen on Win11 for either practical or moral reasons, we may benefit from your experiences 🙂 @Hiew Is also an avid Linux user who has gone back to Linux full time. I hope to see more conversations on the topic around here to be perfectly honest.
