RDP concurrent “patch”??  Please explain.  If I can get away with Win7 Home that would be a big plus since I have a spare copy.

See http://www.missingremote.com/guide/how-enable-concurrent-sessions-windows-7-rtm.  If you run it on Home Premium it enables RDP.  From there if you don’t want to use WHS to RDP you can setup different WAN ports to map to 3389 on your LAN so you can connect to different systems externally.

With the RDP concurrent “patch” you can enable Remote Desktop on Home Premium but I do not know whether that works through WHS remote access.

My HTPCs I put W7 Ultimate since RemoteFX is limited to Ultimate edition.  I don’t believe RemoteFX makes sense for everyone but I’ve got a few projects in mind with it.  My kids PCs and our laptops all run W7 Professional.

HUGE sig issue still hasn’t gone away. It seems that the sig it shows for the comments threaded view in news posts is different from the sig it shows in forums (how the hell?). It’s showing my old sig (with image tag) in the comments view, which ends up all huge and overlapped. Meanwhile, the edited version (just text, small) shows up fine in the forums. HELP

Hi Jennyfur.  Your account (and Skirge’s) had some inconsistencies from the migration.  I believe I’ve fixed it but I had to clear your old signature.  Can you update your signature and see if it works well now?

[mikinho]

I don’t believe it exists but it would be a very useful tool.

Looks like it was a DNS change that caused the time out and issue.  Shouldn’t happen any more.

So it took forever for me to load pages on the site tonight, been trying for hours. Now that it’s back and speedy again, it seems like I’m on a backup or something… my HUGE sig is back! Trying to fix it again.

It is the same, one of the CSS stylesheets (the primary) is hosted on a different site than http://www.missingremote.com and it was timing out for some reason.  That caused the slow page load and visual oddities.

[mikinho]

That is a very good deal.  If anyone is on the fence check out Naylia’s review http://www.missingremote.com/review/vidabox-vcase3-slimline-htpc-case

I initially used 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model CMV4GX3M2A1333C9.  I ran into an interesting issue with that which I have in my pending review.  What I found was that the pairing of modules matter.  So if paired module A w/ C it would work properly at full speed; however, if I paired A w/ B (from the 2nd kit) it would not work unless I down clocked it to 800MHz.  After speaking with a Corsair technical “expert” I was told that while it was rare for dual channel memory to exhibit this behavior it did happen though typically with higher-end kits.

The memory was stable for ~6 months but I ended up swaping it for 8GB (2x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2A1333C9.  I needed the 2GB sticks for an embedded project so swapped it around.

I doubt this is the case but I’ll ask anyways.  Do do have them in the proper channels (i.e. same color modules) for the pairs?

[mikinho]

I’m a big fan of the NH-C12P if you have room for it.  The down blowing 140mm fan is great for the DH57DD since the memory voltage regulator tends to get hot (though I suspect some error on the board with reading the temperature.)

Please keep us updated whether the reseating has helped.  My full review of the DH57DD will be published soon.

Btw, Do NOT upgrade to the latest BIOS.  On many systems the Intel MEI firmware will fail to update and will turn the fans into mini-jet engines.

[mikinho]

What kind of memory are you using?  The DH57DD, as with most Intel boards, is fairly picky with memory.  It has to be 1.5V, dual channel or quad channel is recommend, etc.

In would like to see the submit news button brought back (or easier to find whatever the case may be).  It might not have been used too much but every now and then someone like me might have some “fill” for the community that might otherwise get overlooked in the forums.

Then again maybe I’m the reason that function has been omitted

It will be back.  We wanted to iron out any potential issues before enabling it.

I’ve been trying to learn to love this new look but I can’t.  I don’t like that it looks like Engadget now and I hate the fact that the most recent news, blogs and forum activity aren’t at the top of the page like the old site.  Hell, I even thought the gray back ground was cool and the pictures of all the remotes at the top was awesome.  After seeing the new site the first time I was half expecting an announcement that the site was purchased by Microsoft…

I’ll be making some of the feedback changes over the weekend.  Submit more feedback on Monday 

[mikinho]

David, I’m not at home but when I get there I’ll provide a patch for SP1 RC (what I’m using as well)
