Victory. lupo got taken down on one site

Submitted by agdurrette on March 2, 2010 - 5:01pm

Today a saw a post on http://www.pendriveapps.com/ where they posted lupo pensuit and Portableapps.com suit. I sent them a message asking them to take it down.
I removed the quoted text because I read some small text that said I could not post any of the contents of the email :/

He replied and then he checked what I told him and removed the link.

No signature?

I just noticed a glitch in the forum (maybe due to the updating). When I just created a new forum topic, the post did not get my usual signature. Replies to existing topics seem to get the signature just fine.

Help me avoid "Live"

Submitted by J Neutron on March 1, 2010 - 4:11pm

I keep my wife's schedule and make appointments for her using my computer. I currently use WinXP but will be migrating to Win7 as soon as I can get my new computer unpacked and set up.

My wife's computer is Win7 and it lives in her office and client-space in a different building, but it is connected using WiFi.

How to re-install portable apps in case of hard disk format?

Submitted by ununpentium on March 1, 2010 - 11:33am

Hello.
If I have to format the hard disk, could I just copy the folder of all the portable apps on another media (for example an external hd), format c:, reinstall Windows and then re-copy the folders, or should I re-install the .paf file for each portable app?

Thanks!

Site Maintenance Complete (Feb 28): Search Rebuilding, Any Issues?

We just finished maintenance work on the site. The search index and cache are being rebuilt, so the site will be a little slower than usual for a day or so and search won't be fully functional for about 24 hours while the site is re-indexed. If you notice any other issues, please post a comment here.

Thanks,
John

Please forgive me, I haven't been on PA.com for a while and I think I missed this discussion, and now I can't find it. So, I am going to ask.

A while back there was some discussion of an improvement coming out for PA. This was going to help with checking for updates to applications, and installing them automatically every time someone starts PA, which would be especially helpful with programs like Clamwin. I am not sure if anything ever came out of this or not. Just figured I would check.

Thanks for the info!
