Change Chrome Icon

Submitted by BPeddle on June 30, 2011 - 8:07pm

Is there anyway to change the Chrome Icon, Ideally I am going to have 3-4 versions of Chrome Portable running. I do support and have to log in to multiple accounts frequently and they can't be in same browser. Id like to be able to easily identify the instance open by icon.

Thanks!

Forum pagination (page navigation)

This is a simple request. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but I'd like to see the pagination for the posts both at the top AND the bottom of the page.
For multipage threads, often the first thing I want to see is the last post posted, or I'll want to browse through all the pages, but that means I need to scroll down to the bottom of the page every time I want to advance to the next page.
Can we have page navigation at the top of the page as well?
Thanks.

Portable Apps on SDHC Card

Submitted by pigphish on June 29, 2011 - 11:17am

I have been successfully using portable apps on a removable sata drive.

However, I tried to migrate to a lexar 133x class 10 sdhc card. It was unusable.

I am curious if others have been successful using PA on an SD card and what their success has been.

I called lexar and they did state it should not be a problem but cautioned that excessive writes would significantly shorten the life of the card.

thanks, George

[Resolved] PortableApps.com red-flagged and blocked by Trend Micro firewall

As of today, it's fixed. Here's the original post, though its contents are now outdated.

Somebody really, really hates PortableApps.com and has used Trend Micro against this site. Trying to access it from work prompts, not the usual work firewall (e.g. if I were to try to access, say, xbox.com), but one from Trend Micro.

The danger of accessing PortableApps.com is High, and the site is classified as a "Disease Vector", I believe it said. It did not make sense. I submitted a correction, saying the status should be Safe, and classified PortableApps.com as "Computers/Internet".

Request uTorrent v1 Installed

Submitted by Micko on June 26, 2011 - 12:06pm

Hi

I would like a copy of the last utorrent portable v1 which is v1.8.5. I downloaded the PA installer from the PA sourceforge archive but the problem is that the installer needs to download from the utorrent server but it downloads v2 instead. Does anybody have an installed portable version of v1.8.5 that they can zip up and put online please ?

How do I send a PM or email to another member of the forum?

Submitted by Moroni on June 22, 2011 - 8:49pm

What am I missing here? I would like to send a PM or email to another member of the forum in answer to a question he posted, but would like to give him a personal and private answer (solution) to his question.

Does this forum not support PMs or emails to other members.

If so, then what is the work around to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

dock concept

Submitted by Aldendino on June 18, 2011 - 2:36pm

I think it would be neat if the portable apps dock had the option for a alternate dock feature similar to the rocket dock dock, except customizable for the portable apps installed on your drive, and with all the features of the current dock.
