Our readers have confirmed: they are, indeed, waiting for-freaking-ever to get some discs from Netflix. These include classic films, animated movies, television series, and new DVD releases. Is there some kind of nationwide DVD shortage, or is Netflix trying to strangle its DVD business?
I'm about to cancel my Netflix account and I'd like to be able to keep the list of movies in my queue. Is there an easy way to export the list in plain text so I don't have to resort to printing it out?
After failing at the above suggestions several times, I just opened my Netflix RSS, went to File/Save As. it defaulted to .xml and saved it to the desktop. Then I opened it up in Excel. Got a lovely little spreadsheet that was ready to edit, sort, and delete unneeded columns. The entire 375 item queue was available in seconds.
I opened Internet Explorer 9, logged into Netflix, went to my queue, and right clicked the page. There was an option to "Export to Microsoft Excel" which when clicked opens Excel. Copy the address of the Netflix queue you would like to save, paste in Excel "address" bar, and click "Go."Go ahead and click "Import" and wait for Excel to import the data. Once finished, click "OK" on the Import Data window to import into the existing sheet, then delete any unnecessary rows and columns.
Because of the missing rss feature I also had to make use of jQuery. The following snippets run on the "My Activity" page return 3 newline separated lists which can be easily copied into a spreadsheet document. Nothing else than a browser with a javascript console should be needed.
If so my douchie friend from across the pond, you are a shill and you drive to my mothers house every 2 days a reset her unit so she can watch movies. I bought it for her because it was supposed to be simple and I relied on the WD name.
However, yesterday afternoon while I was at work my wife called and told me that the Instant Queue was no longer available. I told her to use the Wii instead and it worked fine. I performed the reset procedure I found here and got it working again.
im having this issue as well now. i wanted to know if everyone here has blu-ray added to their netflix accounts? i just added blu-ray and now im having this issue. looking forward to the firmware update. i have no other complaints except the long startup times when the wdtv starts up. its much longer than the normal wdtv live.
another thing for those of you who are havng probelms reaching the deactivate option within wdtv. make sure you start pushing the arrow sequence once the netflix window opens up and starts to load up the queue. u should see the circular progress indicator when you push the buttons. if it reaches the queue error screen you were too slow.
The queue times for Diamond+ are ridiculous. Towards night it is so bad people have to switch to like EU to get games. Why don't you just allow us to queue with plats or something. I'm forced to wait for a long time to just get a game how is this game going to be fun for me after a while. Do something please. Last night i was queuing for diamond and after 10-15 minutes i didn't get past 20 people, so i got off for the night. That should not have to happen, stop playing because the queue times are so bad for a game that broke the player record?
What hasn't helped was the glitch where a good number of the players who got to Plat first who play a lot just carried on getting into gold/silver lobbies to progress past Plat, through Diamond and into Apex Pred. Means that anyone who didn't know about the glitch or didn't want to use it are now sat in a queue of 18 players waiting for Plat games to pop for 10 minutes to only then have to go back and play regular Apex.
They should reset ranked and seed the brackets up to Diamond by some of the S1 results they collected so games actually start popping. It's not a perfect solution but it's better than people just not even bothering to queue for ranked anymore because they can't get a game.
It's a joke. I wish they would get bought out because they have no idea how to even fix this game. Long wait times and back when I was low gold they were putting me against people 200+ RP against me. Meanwhile I was in high gold getting Bronze 4's. [Removed - CM] is so stupid. About to just go back to overwatch because they are killing their game
From the way that PC players on here have been talking I think this has always been possible on PC but a week ago you could queue all night on xbox and not get into a game if there weren't people available at your league. Now on xbox it seems that after queueing for about 12 minutes it will fill your lobby with literally anyone who is available.
Queueing last night and just decided to sit there until a game popped or until I had to put netflix on my laptop to deal with the boredom and eventually a game popped, despite the counter never moving from 17 players. It went from 17 to instantly full. I'm Plat, my team mates were gold and the champ squad were all bronze players.
Longest que I've ever had so far was 2 minutes. I wait way longer on almost any other ranked game. (I no life it so usually top ranks) League is a perfect example I've waited a legit 15 minutes on that before. I live East coast on NYC servers usually insta-pop except super late night 2am+

The AICPA and NASBA recently shared the CPA Exam score release dates for 2024, and candidates may have a longer wait this year than in the past. We understand that waiting to get your exam scores can feel interminable - you've put so much work into studying, took a four-hour exam, and now you want to know if you passed so you can move on to the next section. While we can't help you get your scores faster, we can share some tips on how to pass the time while waiting for your CPA Exam scores.
Now that you have a free weekend, it's time to tackle that one project you never had a chance to get to. It could be a jam-packed closet that needs to be cleaned out, maybe your gutters are clogged with leaves, or your Christmas tree is still up. A home improvement task gives you the chance to catch up, take your mind off waiting and boost your confidence and your momentum.
During the early days of the pandemic, making bread, particularly sourdough, became incredibly popular. If you missed out on that craze, or your starter didn't work the first time, now is your chance. Get some whole-wheat flour or a gluten-free option, some bottled water, a clean glass container with a lid and the King Arthur sourdough starter recipe, and you're all set.
When you're studying, you're at your desk with a textbook and a notepad or watching Mike Potenza explain LLCs and Mike Brown dive into IT-related issues. While you're waiting for your CPA Exam results, you could be enjoying the latest bestseller or knocking out your Netflix queue.
You could clean your gutters, make a sourdough loaf, or rewatch The Office. But don't turn your back on your books! The best thing you can do between taking the exam and getting the results is to start studying for the next section of the exam.
This may seem counter-intuitive to move forward when you're not sure if you will have to re-take the section again. However, if you're following Becker's recommendations for the best order to take the CPA Exam, you'll know that everything you studied for will help support what you need to learn in the next section. You'll be in a good position to succeed moving forward, especially if you don't let any big gaps in your studying derail your progress.
And if it turns out that you do need to re-take the section of the exam again, it's okay. Whether you decide to go back to that section to re-take it or put it on the backburner and move forward on the new section you're studying for, everything you learn will benefit you in the long run.
If you're waiting for two, three, or even five months for your scores and don't keep up with studying during that time, it may be hard to get back on track once you get your results back. You'll have to regain your motivation and your momentum. Taking a short break, then focusing your attention to the next section of the exam will keep you sharp and motivated.
When you are prepared and confident to take the CPA Exam, waiting to get your scores isn't so bad.
