I don't know if the ability to select apps for download from within the Portable Apps platform is new or not, but I just found it and think it's great!

I was starting with a fresh install of the latest platform which doesn't come with any apps other than the music offering. So when I looked at it and found that I could just check the apps I wanted and then let the platform download and install them from one operation, I was very pleased.

I've been getting errors for many app downloads (not all):

Could not connect to remote server

Last happened when attempting to d/l Opera 11.60.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I saw in the donor list, that not many people donated for PA.
One way how to make people donor money would be to add the donor status to the username in the forums.

So instead of my username "OLLI_S" there is my rank displayed:
OLLI_S (Supporter).

This might encourage people to donate money.

If some users help in the forums (answering questions and helping users) they might get also a special rank.
They helped a lot although they did not donate money (they donated time).

Greetings

What if the site could just be accessed with a short URL, like PA.c? (Kinda like Overstock's URL... Sorry if this would violate CR law...)

I know those are mostly extensions, they are just shortcuts, so these are the following:

-Firefox Accessibility Extension
-DownThemAll! Extension
-FireFTP Extension
-Sage Extension
-Lightning Extension

And this needs to be removed:

-PortableApps.com Backup
-PortableApps.com Menu

Good Afternoon Group;

The new platform has some music on it if you download the one with it. I never have used any Music or Video Apps before. Can or will someone give me an idea of what to download so I can try the music out. I know it it is a very basic question but not for me since there is a number of Apps and I do not have a clue.

Just curious

Start exe doesnt seem to be working for me, when clicked it looks like its loading then does nothing. I have to go to J:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe just to open the platform.

How can I tell which version of portable Opera I'm using? The last update I did was version 11.52, but I'm currently seeing version 11.60 on the website.

Hi,
I suppose this may have been asked before....

when using portable apps and more specifically, stuff from PortableApps.com, do you need to have a dedicated USB Flash Drive?

In other words, can I download and install and use portable apps on my existing and in-use stick (USB Flash Drive)? OR...
Do I have to have a dedicated USB Stick which is only for the Portable apps use?

I was looking at some Puppy's the other day and in order to install to my Flash Drive from the live CD, I would lose all my data on my flash drive (so I didn't save it to my flash drive)
