bottom right hand side of screen
 

just a quick question.

on the bottom right hand side of the screen, i take it the green bars indicate how much of your available bandwith you are are using.

what does it mean when they are blue ?

cheers
Warhead.

Please provide a screen print of what you are talking about.

Hi Hobo

Do you thing Bikageboy is talking about the LW Internet Strength Indicator?

If he is I was thrown by the "on the bottom right hand side of the screen" description, cause the System Tray is in that area.



UK Bob

Sorry Hobo

I forgot you are a "MAC" man.


UK Bob

I wish newbies would clarify whether they are using a MAC or a PC. Still Hobo, I recall (in the dim and distant) you made a similare mistake yourself:) ;) :) :eek: :confused: :)

sorry, thats my fault.

you are indeed correct,
its the bottom LEFT hand side of the screen (the connection strength indicator)

green is good - that figures
red is bad - that figures

but sometimes it all goes blue - im not sure what that means .

cheers guys

Spot on Hobo

i know its stupid, but its bugging me now.

Blue is good...
I have basic and sometimes I might get one red bar and the rest blue, and for me this means one of my ultrapeers has dropped and I'm connecting to another.....

Hi Hobo, you are right it's not blue, it's green.....:p
Now I feel foolish lol :D

lol :D
But honestly Hobo I used to get blue, I know I've seen it before, maybe in the old version of LW that I had, or maybe it was a few posts back lol, its the Aussie summer it plays tricks with ones mind lol :D :D

i turned off fw but
 

ok turned off fire wall but on the bottem left side of screen it still shows a wall in front of the world???

Do you have any other firewalls..?

Heeello ppl.

Red as you have already figured out is not so good.
Green is Good.
Blue is the Best.

Blue means Turbocharged (as you also have figured out).
What that means (if I remember correctly) is that you are connected to at least a specific number of Ultrapeers (again, 6 if my memory serves me well).

One of the differences between Pro and Basic is that Pro connects to more people. You have thus more chances of getting and maintaining a Turbo-charged connection.

Well Guys (& Girls)

Isn't it funny how the smallest things cause the most confusion.

So, it follows:

RED = BAD - :(
GREEN = GOOD - :)
BLUE = BEST - :D



Happy is the man (or woman) that knows about LW
