Marking Spam

Darkbee's picture

I know it's not a huge problem here generally, but is there a way for us commoners to flag spam so that the moderators can quickly search for and remove spam? I'm thinking for example of replying to a spam post with a subject of something like "****SPAM****". Is this even necessary?

Just a suggestion.

Downloads Blocked to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria

As some of our users discovered, about two weeks ago, SourceForge.net (which hosts all our open source software), began blocking downloads from IP addresses in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. This is due to those countries being on the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanction list.

Can I hack PAM to look for Portable Apps in more than one location?

Submitted by ak.h on February 3, 2010 - 11:49pm

I have installed bblean on my flash drive and currently have it auto starting w/ PAM 2.x beta. This is nice and all however my version of bblean has been combined w/ several other shell replacements. One of the shell replacements (cameo) incorporates some portable apps however those need to be installed in the root of the bblean folder which as of now is in the portable apps folder. (e.g. \PortableApps\bbLean)

Is there a way to hack or modify PAM 2.x Beta to not only look in the portable apps folder (\PortableApps\bbLean) but also the bblean (\PortableApps\bbLean\apps)folder?

Paint.net - available - works great - English

Paint.net is portable and it works great. You can find it at the following link. (in English)

If you look hard enough you can find this information in these forums but I had a dificult time finding it so I thought I would start a new topic, to make it easier for people to find the information.

PAM Theme Rating System

Submitted by jamvaru on February 1, 2010 - 9:34pm

Is there, or would such be possible, a rating system for themes, as it seems there are now 1000's of themes, so browsing them is rather tedious... we need a hosting or link forwarding site that has thumbnails and rating systems via voting. Would a wiki be appropriate for this or something else?

Any ideas?

Categories, searching themes, rating themes, sorting by rating or color, etc.

thanks

Portable Apps and Netbooks

Submitted by adisaunders on January 31, 2010 - 11:08am

I am thinking of buying a netbook for home instead of bring my work laptop home with me all the time. Do portable apps still work with netbooks that have usb drives? some state that they have windows xp installed. others say they work on linux which I have never come across before.

Is a netbook a simplified laptop without the optical drives?
