    Set Minecraft as a trusted program in your firewall.

    Doesn't work.
    We pressed the little question mark and it says that even if you do that, if it doesn't have a trusted license, the pop-up box will still appear.

    posted a message on Minepranks
    I recently did the cake prank on someone, although he hasn't gotten on yet to see what I've done...

    I also pranked another guy in the same server (I had good reason to), buy making kind of like the chicken prank, except instead of random chickens, it was 3 doors opening and closing all the time.

    Of course he then filled my house with lava, but it was worth it.

    This is sort-of minecraft related, but I'd assume it goes here because to fix it, it has nothing to do with minecraft.

    So, whenever I try to connect to a server (that's outside my local network), a little pop-up box appears saying this:
    Do you want the application
    "Minecraft.app" to accept incoming
    network connections?

    Clicking Deny may limit the applications's behavior.
    This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of the Security & Privacy preferences.
    [Deny] [Allow]

    If I press deny, I can't reach the server. If I press allow, I would need to have an administrator password in which I do not have (my dad is administrator).
    My dad doesn't want me bothering him every time I want to play on a server on minecraft, and the solution provided by the pop-up box didn't work.
    How would I go about solving this problem, while only needing the admin password one-three times (since it sometimes repeatedly asks for the admin pass for other things)?
    This could also involve Terminal things.

    posted a message on small auto Vs. large "factory style"
    I usually make giant wheat farms, with water underneath, so I can just take a water bucket and clear it out.
    I wouldn't put that under any of the categories you gave though...

    But out of the categories you made, I'd go with either a large automatic farm, or several small automatic farms linked together, that way I'd have time to do other things.

    Quote from fm87

    If you just want to make basic 2D games Game Maker or Flash might be good options.

    Actually, learning how to make games with HTML5 might not be a bad idea if that is all you want to do. It's pretty versatile.

    Agreed.
    It's easy to learn, a great starting point, and can be used in many many places (such as every singe web page not written in flash).
    Although to actually make a game, you would need to learn Javascript, basically it's the actual programming, here it is a little simpler:
    HTML - building blocks of whatever you're doing.
    Javascript - making it do things, such as have something move across the screen, or do something when you click a button
    CSS - To actually make the webpage your HTML game (if you choose to do it in HTML) is in, look good, and not boring.

    W3schools:http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp is a good place to start.
    I'd suggest going to codeacademy to learn javascript, and search google for more advanced things in HTML.

    As to the C++ discussion going on:
    C++ isn't generally known for it's easiness. I, have not actually learned C++, but from what I've seen, if you don't have anyone teaching you, it's going to be really hard to learn without a basic knowledge of the logic behind programming. I like the example with the car, but I'll modify it a bit to suit what my point is.
    Go ahead, drive the race car. But unless you want to crash and burn (rage quit on programming), get a teacher to teach you, or start out on a minivan.

    I wouldn't call the infraction system a punishment system, it's in place to inform you that what you have posted is breaking the forum rules in one way or another. The suspension are there almost to go "Hey, you've broken this rule more than once now and we think need to give off to think about it". As long as you learn from your infractions, you should be on good terms with the staff.

    Reputation is a pretty arbitrary number that get from people pressing the up arrow on your posts, you shouldn't worry too much about it though.


    Light switch changes from the rich text editor to the pure bbcode editor which I would use more often if the buttons worked on that one :|
    And the eraser removes all formatting from the selected text.

    Thanks!
    But what about my posts disappearing? It also happened on this topic, is that just for the new people, or are posts disappearing a known bug?
    I post, it says that it saved after I press the post, but it doesn't show up on the thread. It also says I posted on the thread when I exit out, but when I open up the thread, my post isn't there.
    Should I be worried about that?
    (can't reply for another 24 hours, since the counter says this is my last post until the middle of the night (for me), so if I don't reply don't think I'm ignoring you)

    posted a message on Easy and Efficient Farms ( Sugar Cane, Wheat )
    I like how you do the sugar cane farm. When I make an automated one, I do the same basic design, but have the pistons go in and out 5 times to direct the sugar cane towards the water.

    Although you would easily improve the wheat farm by putting water under the dirt. And then if you have a water bucket, just place it on the platform and the wheat will all flow to one side.
    You could also have the long & complicated auto wheat farm, but I'd only use that if you're farming A LOT of wheat. Nice vid!

    I already knew that it was anything related to minecraft. I'm asking how things go around here. Are people generally nice? Are there a lot of spam attacks? things like that.


    Well, from pressing the quote button under your post I realized it's BBcode, but not one I'm used to.
    I want to know because I never understand what any of the buttons on the top mean. I have absolutely no idea what the "<>" button does, although I hope it's html (but that seems a little far-fetched)...

    Also, can someone please tell me if a noob's post disappearing is a known glitch? I posted something, my count (the count on noobie forumers to make sure they're not spammers, just incase you forgot) went down, and it didn't show up. I refreshed the page, emptied cache, etc... According to outside the thread I posted, but inside it didn't show up. And I didn't see anything for multiple pages.


    And to clarify more on before, I'd appreciate it if someone tole me what some of the obscure buttons do (such as the light switch, the "<>" button, the two paper clip buttons, the speech bubble, the binoculars, the clipboard buttons, the eraser, and the small picture of a cloud with a green line through it (next to the eraser).

    posted a message on Help With My Gaming Website.
    Quote from wacossusca34

    Games in a website are not HTML, they are either Flash, or Java applets.

    I disagree with this statement, I'm making a simple tic-tac-toe game in javascript.

    Well, it depends on what you're using to make the website.
    If you're using a hosting site (such as weebly), make a new page for it and search for how to embed it into that page (it's usually just iframe the source),
    if you're using your own web server, learn how to code HTML and CSS from here: http://www.w3schools...tml/default.asp
    To make it cooler, learn how to code in javascript from that website, or from codeacademy.

    posted a message on What do you hate about most of the people on this forum?
    Some of these questions don't seem that bad. Although I've joined only a few minutes ago, as long as they post it relatively nicely and in the right place, I don't see anything wrong with it. 4 of those example questions don't seem all that bad (I don't know how to quote here, so I'll just copy and paste the said questions here:)
    - What's MCPatcher?
    - What's Optifine?
    - How do I install this?
    "What is minecraft.jar?"

    as long as they specify what "this" is on the 3rd question listed above, then those questions aren't that bad.

    Well so far, the only thing that has gotten close to me 'hating' something here, is people not generally excepting noobs :P . And that's normal for forums.

    This forum is really the place to do anything related to minecraft. You can ask questions, post pictures of intersting builds or natural structures, post suggestions, and really do whatever you want.

    And I do not know what fromat it runs on, why, though?

    I joined about 10 minutes ago, and the rules link didn't really explain much. I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but you don't seem to have a new members category for the noobs to be noobs.. :/ .
    Can someone please explain to me exactly what happens around here? In the rules I saw something about reputation, and something called infraction that seems to be the punishment system. Besides for that, the only other thing I got was no bumping, be appropriate, and post in the correct category.

    Also, what does the posts run on? BBcode, HTML, or just the buttons located above the text area?
