What happened to the RSS feeds

Submitted by marcdw on September 9, 2010 - 9:04pm

Is there something wrong with the RSS news feeds? In Thunderbird I check
and get nothing since August. In Chrome with Slick RSS the same.
If I click on the RSS button on the website it's also the same. No updates.
But there on the main page is a list of new and upgraded packages for
September.
Is it just taking longer to get listed now?

Anyhind, glad to see a slew of updates.

Freeware Rules: Launcher vs. downloading Installer [newbie question]

Submitted by Moonbase on September 9, 2010 - 6:47am

Hi everyone,

I’m quite new to portablizing, but I like the idea—and the PortableApps way of doing it.

Before I make any mistakes, here’s my questions:

I plan to portablize two freeware apps (non-Open Source) that I found useful in the past and think others might like to have portable, too:

1. MELM, a German-language software to check wins in the German state lottery "6 aus 49" (6-of-49). This software is freeware for up to 35 tips but can be registered to allow for more.

While I wasn't here for the beginning...

...I think it is safe to say I was a fan of PortableApps until the end. Not that I'm not now, but it seems like the project is kinda dead.

Google Chrome Portable - Flash buttons are not working

Submitted by hkBattousai on September 8, 2010 - 9:21am

I'm using the version 5.0.375.99.

I'm using Google Chrome for Facebook. I can successfully start playing Facebook videos. But as soon as the video starts, I can't click pause button, can't seek video position, and can't adjust volume. None of the buttons are working.

How can I solve this?
What do you guys experience, do you have the same problem?

Using Portable Apps for e-exams?

Submitted by AU2010gu on September 1, 2010 - 10:34am

We are planning to do e-exams on places where there are computers but we do not know for sure if there are LANs in the exam rooms
One way is to have the invigilator bring exam SW on a usb, one for each student/PC, let the student run the exam and take back the usb, now with the student answers as well.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to load the usb with an exam SW application and an answer file to be filled in by the student?
