I opened Paint and a small banner asked me to join “Windows AI Labs” — an opt‑in program that, according to the on‑screen card and an attached programme agreement, will let selected users test experimental AI features inside Microsoft Paint before those features are broadly released.

Good news to report!
For May 7, 2015
Today we have updated the forum software to the latest version. This fixes some small bugs and performance issues.
We are talking about removing the Profile Posts from the front page and will be discussing this.
PHP upgraded to 5.5.24

I came across this incidence in another Forum site.
An OP asked about Win 10 TP Windows Automatic Updates. He asked if he could make it Manual.
I posted an answer of using registry editor. I also mentioned that it could be done using gpeditor as well.
Then an moderator came along and copy/pasted...
I have been spotting spams very regularly.
One fact to be certain is ....... the spam post is also always the first post by the "new" member/spammer.
In some forums, the FIRST post of a new member does not get posted automatically until it is "approved" by moderation.
This definitely will stop...
Whatever the Profile Post is meant to be, it seems to have been misused.
Spammers had been using it to post spams, and now new members are using it to post computer questions.
Perhaps, management will consider adding a line at the profile box to explain to new members what it is NOT meant for?
We all know that Pay4key website is not allowed to be posted in these forums.
I reported it several times and the threads were subsequently removed.
Now there is a "new" member posting the link in his/her "profile".
Perhaps the admins or mods will remove that also ?
Thank You
First of all a big thank you to all those users who take the time to report unwanted posts like spam for example.
Most of the time we manage to catch many of these posts but as it's an international forum many of us are from differing countries with different time zones so some errant...

I know this may a sort of political post here and I know such discussions are discouraged but hear me out.
