Can you PLEASE stop that infernal noise


Recommended Posts

i cant tell you how many times ive laid down to go to sleep then suddenly had to get up to close the window on my pc that has the range in it due to that super annoying "plunk ... plunk" sound that plays whenever someone replies or reacts to a post of mine

i want my range SILENT

is there any possible way you can make that happen?

Dude, toggle it off in the Shoutbox Settings.

is that where it comes from? i thought it was from replies to my posts. in fact, multiple times ive seen it happen exactly when the black box at the bottom of the screen tells you somebody replied. so either that was just pure luck or it comes from multiple places. i didnt even know sounds came from the sb so ill find it and shut it off, but i bet it doesnt stop all the sounds

Ahh, yeah, it does it for both. The SB you can toggle off, I had thew same thing happen and just remember to close my browser on my tablet

No, I meant the sound plays for the SB and when people post in a thread that you have open or when they quote or rep one of your posts

Yes it's the same sound oh, but it comes from a different place. I turned off the one for the SB, now I need to see if there is one for the replies or if Lit has to address it, if he feels like it

Its probably that Bills sign that used to be in your office.  You know, the one that was all crooked and stuff.

I'm surprised that nobody has mocked the thread title with their usual suggestions that someone take big pharma drugs to solve the problem.  ;) 

 

On a serious note, I've experienced similar things to Meat when I had my speakers turned up due to the volume on something else maybe being lower than usual, but I think I likely find the alerts more useful than not when the Range is otherwise slow and I do something else while waiting to be alerted of it showing signs of life.

Better than idly waiting for something to happen on a message board that only a handful of people post on

Your aggressive sexual fantasies aside,  If you had utilized your reading comprehension ability, it was stated that I found it useful while I was doing other things. If I hear a barrage of them, it can mean a lively discussion has started in the Shoutbox, for example(although it could just mean that Daryl is going apesh*t with BREAKINGs, lol).

Oh, you are the one that missed the point. When I’m doing other things, as is probably the case with everybody else on the planet that could potential he come to this website, I’m not waiting for people to post on the website and trigger an alarm to alert my attention to it

Before they go to sleep, a lot of people leave the range, and put their pc to sleep. Some turn them off entirely.

my pc goes to sleep automatically. the sound wakes it up

btw, turning your pc on/off is the harshest thing you can do to it electronically, including all the components like harddrives. if you want your pc and components to last a long time you set the power saving features to put them to sleep when they go idle

I did not say I was either.  But if I know folks are there and maybe we were chatting in the shoutbox but they stepped away for awhile, it can be useful to alert when they come back. 

Man, I didnt think I'd have to explain it in such detail.
