    No more get-togethers??

    I guess this was the phrase that brought some members to a conclusion that the majority of people here is not from US or "Europ", but Argentines. I do not quite follow the logic here. However, for people with a refined sense of political correctness, it may be more evident. Well, let's take a...

    That means that you don't have any unread posts in this thread, no? I guess you are just expecting to jump to the last post in the thread, but you are directed to the first one.

    "Vto" in Personal Usage/Balance Text Msg

    Each phone company has a site to manage your calling plan online. Why don't you register with them and see what additional packages you can buy there? Basically, you buy additional data from your balance. Either online, or from an app, or by sending an SMS.

    "Vto" in Personal Usage/Balance Text Msg

    Vencimiento is an expiration date, I believe. Your balance expires on Feb 7. > do I have to specifically ask for talk, text, and data or is the default all three? With prepaid phones usually, you just add money to your balance. Then you can buy some add-on packages using this balance. Most...

    Ok, specially for uniformity lovers. It is now Liberation Sans, that is probably the closest free font to "Helvetica Neue".

    Hi @Vagrant Violet , I've changed your name, please use it to log in as well. As far as why it happened, I tried to explain it before.

    Hi Ben, I have not even seen it with Segoe UI yet. I'll take a closer look and think about it later.

    It looks like it still does. If a thread contains an unread message, its title is shown in bold and "/unread" is added to the link. And it jumps to the first unread message properly. Just it thinks that everything imported from the old forum is read. So, give it some time.

    Hi @Rich One , I checked the old site. Your avatar is not there either. So, if it disappeared, it happened before. Please, add a new one (main user dropdown, mouse over your pic, click on "Edit Avatar"). As to jumping to last unread message, I am trying to figure it out. Thanks,

    Upcoming Software Upgrade

    Ok folks, I am getting closer to upgrade the forum software. And it will happen within the next week or so. The idea is first to upgrade the platform, stabilize everything and only after that start adding features. So, at this point the major visible difference will be a greatly improved mobile...

Go to Mi Claro -> Servicios -> Configurar Mi Linea, scroll down. Enable "DDI Full" as shown on the picture. Good luck and have a...

    Tell Me What You Want

    So, this is what is going to happen. This forum has not had a major software upgrade for like five years. And yes, it looks a bit dated and yes, it could be more mobile friendly. (And I have some technical reasons as well). So I am going to update the software to something top-notch, and that...

    Tell Me What You Want

    Wouldn't that actually mean that every single view presented on this forum got to be absolutely in line with the moderator's own opinion? Including the one that you expressed in the quoted post?

    Tell Me What You Want

    It has just been fixed. I think you missed a word "ideally" somewhere. Name me a single open organization that operates this way and survived longer than a year. What you are suggesting would cause endless discussions of moderator actions (or missed actions) with a strong emphasis on a...
