Fixer! Thank you for that. I copied your code and it just worked, I was beside myself. It forced me to look at other parts of my code and lo and behold.. I found the problem in another part of my program.. It happens like that sometimes. So thank you for removing my blinders, I owe you a beer! Jack 8-)

The forum may not be a desktop application, but your browser sure is. Either way, those ads are still appearing on your desktop/laptop screen one way or another. I think people just have a bias against desktop application advertising. I see it as a way to pay for an effort. Which bring me back to my point. Where is it written that programmers must work for free. Maybe a better question is, why are so many of use willing to work for free? I think I can answer that question. We do what we do because we love what we do right? For many of of, this is all we want to do.. Problem is, much as we love to do it and generous as we definitely are.. We still have to eat and pay bills like everyone else. Most people won't pay for software, that's a fact. Either they get it free, or the pirate it. Even honest people who pay for software won't but everything out there. You could spend your entire paycheck every week paying for all the software you would love to have. It's just not practical to buy everything you want because there is so much out there. So how do you solve the problem of getting paid to do what you love? In app advertising may not be a perfect solution, but I think it strikes a good balance. Everything in life is a compromise. http://www.blinkenlights.com/classiccmp/gateswhine.html

Unfair how? I don't understand.. The screen on a mobile is so much smaller than a desktop. I find ads on my mobile to be somewhat annoying. Sometimes I will see an ad that looks interesting, but it's so tiny I can barely see it. By comparison, we see desktop ads all the time. This forum has ads but we never think about it, and no one complains. There are ads on just about every website we visit. It may not be in your desktop software per se.. But it's still being displayed on your desktop isn't it?

Verry funny! Enjoy your broke life.

I find it odd that people in general reject in app advertising on desktop software. But the same people are perfectly okay with in app advertising on mobile devices where screen real estate is extremely limited and where fumbled fingers inadvertently click on ads. It's annoying but I don't hate it. Just have to be more careful with your fat fingers. Mouse clicking is so much more accurate. No accidental clicks. I actually kind of like ad's because they help me to find out about new products and services that I would not normally just find.. It's like finding something cool by accident. Where is it written that programmers must absolutely work for free?

Hi Everyone! So I use Autoit to automate my logins. Gmail has recently made some changes to their login page that breaks my script. The username goes in okay, but not the password. I can type in the password manually and it's no problem. What I can't understand is how does the browser know the password is not being typed in manually? I tried every trick I could think of (i'm an Autoit noob) to simulate human typing. Using send() raw and slowing down the type rate of the keys. Nothing works, can anyone shed some light on this? #include <WinAPIShPath.au3> #include <Array.au3> Opt("SendKeyDelay", 25) Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 25) Send("email@gmail.com", 1) sleep(1500) Send("{enter down}", 0) Send("{enter up}", 0) sleep(1500) Send("password", 1) sleep(1500) Send("{enter down}", 0) Send("{enter up}", 0)
