My morning coffee never tasted so good!
I created a template myself and commissioned this mug from an online supplier and, voila!

As much as I'd like to be the only one... if you want one you can order it here: Totally Kickass "Kickass Mug"...

I'm posting this here because I'm too lazy (maybe too stupid) to find the appropriate area in the forums.
Anyway, here's my problem:
Can anyone tell me why, suddenly (for the last 3 weeks or so), my embedded Youtube videos (ie the ones posted on facebook) no longer play properly?
The picture stutters and jerks along at a fraction of the proper speed while the sound continues normally!
If I go to Youtube to play the video there, it's less of a problem but the problem disappears almost entirely if I go fullscreen (this only works on the Youtube website)!
I'm using a pirate copy of XP (which I can't currently update) if that's relevant!
Also, I've just discovered that I'm not the only one experiencing this (or a similar) problem, so perhaps it isn't a local issue but a more widespread problem.
Anyway, I've tested it on all my browsers, Chrome, Firefox and IE8.
All have the same problem.
I've cleaned out my cache, deleted temp files and history, even freed up 20 gigs of space on my C: drive, all to no avail!!
I'm almost at the end of my tether.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

I just came online the other day to discover my new status as "Super User".
At first I thought it was just another "Achievement" based upon the length of time I'd spent on KAT since my initial sign up.
But, having spoken to others, I now I realise that apparently... someone, somewhere, thought I was worthy of this accolade!
Don't get me wrong... I am truly flattered and humbled by the faith this anonymous benefactor has for me, but I fear I can't live up to the standard!
As I see it, a "Super User" is someone who will help others who are having some technical difficulties.
OK, it's true: I will always help wherever and whenever I can, but I have such limited technical expertise, I have no idea why I was chosen for this "promotion".
Again, please don't misunderstand, I am happy to be singled out in this way, but I'm scared that this isn't so much an "award" as it is a job description lol
The spirit is willing but the flesh is kinda... meh!
