Ah OK, that explains it. I hope my statement didn't sound insulting to you because that was not my intention

@Jan Krohn Before the upgrade to 3.X that took place almost two years ago this forum was using subscriptions. The forum was always free, but one could subscribe and become a sponsor. Once a member selected one of the available packages Paypal has automatically created a recurring payment profile. We haven't had many subscription packages active in the past and most were canceled or became inactive several years ago. Two subscription packages remained active though and were closed this year (bphlpt and pennsylvaniaron). pennsylvaniaron probably had a serious amnesia and forgot that he was the one who chose to subscribe and donate $10 to support the forum :). With the upgrade to IPS 3.x, subscriptions module was removed from the forum and we had to implement a sidebar donate button. I have now checked for active supporters and I have removed katie-joy, Cartman586 and BYTE-ME from the sponsors' group as there is no recorded subscription for those users. Although, we also had the policy for the users who have donated to Liam (WinToolkit Developer). Those users also became sponsors even though they haven't donated to the forum directly. So, to conclude bphlpt and pennsylvaniaron (both canceled packages this year, but remained active), and Thiersee who is donating via international transfer using an IBAN account, are the only current supporters of this forum. If you want, I can send those donations to you Jan. @Thiersee Thanks for your generous support and contribution for all these years. I kindly ask you to send the next donation to Jan Krohn.

you cannot change the OS architecture with an upgrade. You'll have to reinstall if you want to use x64 bit version.

Dear members and visitors, forums have been upgraded to the latest version. If you experience any issues please report it here. Regards, Nik

Hey Thiersee, you can click the share button and you'll get a direct link to a certain post in the topic. For instance, when I click to share your post I get this link: https://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?/topic/13623-wincert-forum-default-skin/&do=findComment&comment=121655 I'm guessing that the post ID/number was replaced with comment ID shown as "121655" in this case..

I've edited the forum skin now to match the Blog colors. It looks much better now, just my 2 cents

Dear members and visitors, we have managed to restore the default theme on Wincert forum. If you still have theme issues please respond below. This new version of the forum has an option to change the default view of the forum. Along with the traditional forum index table view, you are now able to change it to display forums as cards in a grid: or Fluid: A simpler dynamic listing topics with a forum filter box. We hope you like the new forum features. Regards, Nik

That explains it. No disrespect to you, but you will learn with age what I am talking about.

Nah, sorry, I don't believe a word. Good person to sell the site to??? What's wrong with you people

I understand, but this is not the first time that he said he's going to close the forum. If he doesn't have time for it, why not sell it?

It won't be shut down for sure, surely another gimmick. Who would shut down a forum with such a huge database and number of registered members before selling it? Edit: I'm guessing that I was right. Xper just updated the board with the latest IP version. Who would do that a day before closing the forum?

Xper, founder of MSFN.org helped me start WinCert.net. Unfortunately, he wasn't replying to my messages lately so I gave up, but I'm sorry to hear that MSFN will close. I can see that the traffic dropped rapidly on MSFN, but I don't understand why isn't he selling it instead of shutting it down completely. I have to say, that I really don't believe that it will be closed for good. It looks like another gimmick to me.

Is it still slow, it is very fast for me? Maybe it was just a temporary issue.

Hi Thiersee, Thibaud de La Villarmois sold Wincert to Jan Krohn as he had to focus on other projects and couldn't attend more time to Wincert. Jan Krohn is now a new owner of Wincert. I will still perform forum administration and maintenance with Jan and I will also continue to write blog articles for WinCert. Forum will be slightly changed in order to boost the forum activity. We're currently discussing these upcoming changes in our staff lounge forum. Regards, Nik

Sorry to hear that Kels :(. Wish you all the best mate!

TBH I've never heard about this game before :(. I play only World of Tanks occasionally.

I've just tried to change the password with my test account and it's working fine. Can you please try to change the password using a different browser?

Seems everything is working fine.

You can't raise the functional level of a domain if you still have Windows 2003 domain controllers in that domain.

I had this issue at one of my clients. Probably "IsShortcut" string value for LNK filetype is missing in Windows Registry which could be removed by a Virus. Open regedit and navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Lnkfile In right pane, right-click on empty area and select New -> String Value option. Name it IsShortcut. Close Registry Editor and restart your machine.

You can't, but thanks for this. We might disable that board wide.

that other RAM might be incompatible with your laptop. The best bet is to go to the hardware store and let them install and test the RAM before you buy it.

Yeah, social networks are more and more popular, although I would call myself and old fashion. I still like the forums more and I am also not using social networks

Dear visitors, forum has been upgraded to the latest version of IPB. This version brings full support for php 7 and you should notice speed improvement when browsing the forums. Please report any bugs in this topic. Nim
