Help. Who are the mods

hoggys2much · 01-10-2014, 05:01 AM

Can any one help me please.

Can any one tell me who are the mods around here please?

The reason I ask is that I want to report this thread here http://lechenie-diabeta-5.ru/showth...ghlight=Sabina

I went to the thread yesterday and tried to download one of them and the download site is as dodgy as hell. It damn well nearly destroyed my computer.

When I got it working through I.E 11 (the site says my Firefox 19 isn't recent enough) I.E said nothing had been downloaded.

I had a lot of trouble with my PC afterwards but managed to fix it.

Now I reported it but it looks as though nothing has been done about it.

Now isn't there something about reporting bad links or what? And why is that thread still up?

you are correct, meg.co.nz can be a pain the ass for downloading if you don't use a compatible browser. it happens to be a decent host for download speed and wait time between downloads; it also doesn't often delete files.

updated firefox or chrome works fine for downloading.

you need to give more details when making a report.

The links in the posts do not work. I thought they were going to damage my PC.

Also it is a very dodgy site they linked to.
The links are fine. Mega is not "dodgy".
The post you reported uses a good pic host and a good download host, and you didn't give any details about what trouble you had with your computer.
Many hosts try to get you to download their software, and there have been many reports of that software triggering the anti-virus, so be careful and make sure you are downloading the right file, if the download box file size seems to be smaller than the file size you want to download, it means you are downloading the wrong file.

Thank you for the responses.

Just to let you know I updated the Java, Shockwave player and Firefox on my PC and added this Firefox add-on that the site has and everything worked brilliantly.

So it looks as though you were right and that the problem was at my end. The site didn't like my outdated equipment.

Once again thank you.
