downloading problems with PortableApp

Submitted by Gary Segers on February 18, 2008 - 10:24am

I'm having a heck of a time downloading PortableApps and have tried finding the answer on the board to no avail. Am using Firefox 2.0 and want to install PortableApps to my Sans Disck Cruser 2 GB flashdrive. I have the U3 Launchpad installed on the flashdrive.

When I try to install the program on my desktop directory or my flashdrive I get an error message saying the PortableApps ex is "not a supported archive". I'm unable to install download on either my desktop G drive where I keep my downloads or to the flashdrive.

No Signature Option on Account Settings? - Solved

Submitted by José Pedro Arvela on February 17, 2008 - 10:54am

I have removed my signature a while ago (opps, I'm sorry for the previous mistake and it won't happen again). This may be strange, but today I was going to create a signature to answer to digitxp's signature when I found out that my option for creating a signature has disappeared.
Was because of my error that a signature was forbidden to me, or is it a bug? It isn't a big deal, but I'd like to know.

If this was expected please remove this tread after informing me. (I didn't even know if I should create this on Off-topic or in here).

Thanks in advance

hi all...
i want to download one of the open source image editors.
I was originally using GIMP, but it is not too new and the interface is sorta boring.
Is there an editor that you guys could recommend?
thanks

Editing thread OPs vs. creating them

I understand forcing users to preview a new thread OP before creating the thread. In fact, I agree with it. However, this behavior should not be applied when editing the OP. The "Delete" button is right where the "Submit" button used to be. I almost deleted one of my threads! Moreover, once a thread is created, is it really necessary to apply this restriction to the post?

I am trying to put several portable apps menus on my installation and noticed that every menu shows every other menu. I tried putting all menu variations inside the PortableAppsMenu folder only to discover that it might lead to several menus using same files and folders with different contents.

Trying to put the menu's one folder deeper doesn't work.

What executable can I try that will be ignored by other menu's?
