General Discussion

Sourceforge is running a poll, looking for votes for it's Project of the month. A few projects that are base apps of applications we have available are in the running.

Additionally, a rival site of ours, winpenpack.com, is in the running.

For some time now, when loading portableapps.com, there will be a (more or less secret) connection to the Google website (IP 173.194.69.95), circumventing any blockers (like "Ghostery", "Disconnect", etc.). I don't want Google to know about every website that I visit and that it, unluckily, has managed to infest ;-). What's the deal?

Hi,

Which portable program allows me to read my saved .msg mails (from outlook) ?

Thanks

I would like to say that I am a huge fan of Portable Apps 'SeaMonkey' & use it a lot at work. I have noticed that SM 2.6.1 portable hasn't been upgraded to SM 2.7 yet. This is quite fortuitous in my opinion as SeaMonkey 2.7 seems to be suffering from the same 'flash/Java cursor bug' that Firefox 10 is suffering from. I have returned to SM 2.6.1 on my C-Drive & 'wound-back' my Firefox portables to 9.0.1.

The bug appears to make the cursor disappear on certain sites like YouTube & also affects highlighting in the runbar (essentially making it impossible to highlight a Web address).

hey

I've downloaded some portable apps from another site.
how can I be sure these apps are actually portable? don't have the source code or anything...

also, these apps are actually great, I want them to be part of PortableApps.com's suit - how can I pass it on the PotableApps.com's team for that purpose ?

thanks

It is not clear when talking about installing PortableApps related Programms (for example FolderzMiniApp).
I cannot understand how to install - from inside Platform or in Windows Explorer.

Full details are online here (mod JTH):

I love this website so much that I want to alert you to a persistent web attack. I have norton 360 small business edition 5.0. I'm sure that this is not a false positve or otherwise i would not bother to write a post.
My security system says "web attack black hole toolkit website 12"
this attack is happening with EVERY single thing i click on this website.
I.P. address this attack is coming from is 72.32.40.232

Trying to make my netbook run faster in prep for taking it to ocs, so that it can pull weight like a full size computer. Otherwise, the base will make me buy one and charge me through the nose to do so. I am trying to dump some of my heavier programs and apps. Portableapps seemed like a good substitute. Can portableapps do a good job of taking the place of most programs on a netbook? I don't want to have to keep track of a jump drive through ocs so I was just going to install and use it straight from my netbook. Is this a good idea?

Hi all! I've updated the fonts sitewide to use a newer style. It's using a font from the Google Web Fonts project under an open license. The goal was to give things a bit fresher feel. What do you think?

I'm not new to portable apps and have been using them for the past six years.

I usually take a separate back-up of my data at work just for my own piece of mind. To do this I use Synkron portable. It's nice and convenient. I assumed that most portable apps install 'something' to the host machine when they are opened, but then 'clean their trail' when they exit.
