Hi!

Times displayed on the web site are formatted (apparently) in US locale and the values are in some timezone, that is one of US timezones, I guess.
As the site is visited from all over the world, at least the information about the used timezones should be available somewhere.
Maybe like this: November 1, 2008 - 6:37pm PST

Or use a one line Javascript that displays times in the viewers timezone (and format).

I'm a new user of the portableapp suite. Really love having these apps with me on my usb stick.

When I use the suite on my notebook at work (xp), all of the apps work except for FirefoxPortable, SudokuPortable, SunbirdPortable and StartPortableApps. All four pop the error "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. ...". When I looked at the properties of the executables i noticed that all the working apps appear to be signed, and the non-functioning apps do not appear to be signed.

Hello,

This may be a dinosaur item, but it would be extremely helpful. I'm working out of my home office quite a bit recently and would love to find a simple phone dialer application. I'm spending a good amount of time on the phone so being able to hook a phone line up to my PC, put on my USB head set, dial and talk is all I'm after.

I've talked to may friends, and get pointed to Skype, Google Voice, and a number of other places. Not what I'm after. Don't need, nor want, to sign up for a new pay services when all I want to do is use what I have.

Where's the old Windows dialer?

We've had some reports of download issues from some users in Puerto Rico and Australia in the last day. Specifically, we've had reports of redirect loops where the file will just keep redirecting back and forth until Firefox gives up. This first came up in the Firefox Portable 3.6 comments.

RU:

I have downloaded the installer a couple of times, thinking it was the installer but the same thing happens every time.

I start the installation to my desktop and the download begins at a fast transfer rate. It will only take 3 minutes. After about 2 seconds of downloading the transfer rate drops to .5kB/s or .3kB/s.

Has this happen to anyone else, if so what can I do to fix this? Thanks.

If I run Google Chrome Portable, and I would happen to visit a website that had malicious code and "drive-by downloads", would the malware be saved outside the Google Chrome folder and execute on my PC?

I have discovered a new medium for carrying my portableapps with me accross all my computers without having to remember my thumbdrive, dropbox. So long that I have an internet connection I can store my apps on a real time cloud storage service this means that I don't have to upload everything again every time I put it in the folder. I have used this successfully and I am inviting you all to do the same.

You can find it here here

I hope you like this Idea If you have any questions please let me know.

i need to ask to anyone who knows portable software. Why some portable software cannot be run on the Wind 7 OS???

[Title renamed by mod SL, was the entire post]

Is there a portable app available that can index inside the files on my thumb drive?

For example, I have a thumb drive that has all of my school notes as well as textbooks on it. They're in doc, pdf, html, and chm format. I'd like to be able to do instant searches for keywords like I can with the windows desktop search.
Is there a (free) portable app that can do this?
Thanks,
Ari
