  1. I think the new stable release here. Cheers and Regards
  2. np, take your time and do it right. As to where, I'd say just start a new thread here. If it ends up being Win Toolkit specific, then Liam can move it where it is most appropriate, maybe here? If it is more general, then may a mod will decide here is better. The best thing is to just get one started when you can. Cheers and Regards
  3. The questions remains. Why is this happening with this particular brand/size of USB stick while it is not happening with others, and how to prevent this behavior? Cheers and Regards
  4. I am also interested, including how to verify whether your system is capable.Thanks in advance! Cheers and Regards
  5. File for Windows x64 seems to be missing, but the one for x86 is still there. I don't know if this has been tested on Windows 8. I guess you'll have to do that yourself. If you do, please post your results here so others will know. Cheers and Regards
  6. Yep, Cheers and Regards
  7. Here you go. Use this as you see fit. These are the seven bugs or annoyances that I am aware of. Only one of them, #4, was addressed at all in the latest update, and it is still a little screwy. Cheers and Regards ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) -- You can't quote a post with embedded quotes using the quote button and have any existing embedded quotes survive. It only quotes the "new" text. You also can not copy from one edit box to another, that is open in another browser tab, using "highlight-CTRL-C-CTRL-V" in "WYSIWYG" mode and have the quote or code boxes survive. The only way to copy from one edit box to another and have the quote and code boxes survive is to do it in "BBCode" mode. But I did just discover that you can copy directly from a post to an edit box using "highlight-CTRL-C-CTRL-V" and the quote and code boxes will survive. So that's one way to accomplish what I want. It's strange that works better than the quote button. 2) -- If you toggle the "BBCode Mode" button many characters are changed in the existing code. For example the % 16, (without the embedded space), in % 16422% and % 16426% disappears if you toggle the "BBCode Mode" button. It actually disappears when switching from "WYSIWYG" mode to "BBCode" mode. If you enter the % 16 in "BBCode" mode or in "WYSIWYG" mode and then post it will usually survive. But if you ever then switch into "BBCode" mode for that post it will disappear. 3) -- The board software will not create a proper link by simply surrounding a valid address with [ url ] tags. I tried to create a link like this: [ url ] http :// www .msfn .org /board /topic /156730-unattended-installation /page__p__1030189#entry1030189 [ /url ] without the extra spaces of course, and it becomes: [ url = undefined ] http :// www .msfn .org /board /topic /156730-unattended-installation /page__p__1030189#entry1030189 [ /url ] Actually, it's more messed up than that. Back at Wincert, where I first discovered this issue, what started out as a post to our admin: Apparently I didn't have enough embedded spaces in my original post so the "smart" board software got too smart for it's own good and turned it into: Sorry if all the extra spaces make the above hard to read, but I don't know how to turn the board's "intelligence" off so it won't mess up what I'm trying to post. 4) -- It is really annoying when you edit a post with code or quote tags, or any BBCode tags I guess, that it is dangerous, at least to your sanity, to try and edit within the code or quote block in "WYSIWYG" mode. If you happen to be deleting within the quote block and backspace just one too many characters, you lose the block outline and its heading ( such as "NIM, on 15 Feb 2013 - 02:12, said:" ). Everything that was inside the quote block is now outside it. This issue of the code or quote box disappearing with a backspace and not being able to get it back with Ctrl-Z is sort of fixed with the latest update. Sometimes it comes back with one Ctrl-Z but sometimes I have to hit Ctrl-Z as many as three times in a row to get it back, even though it disappeared with a single backspace. I have no idea why. But it's a little progress I guess. 5) -- There is still a lot of difficulty in trying to get the spacing the way you want it between the code or quote blocks and the surrounding text. The board software usually deletes "empty" lines around those blocks, sometimes even multiple lines and sometimes even if you put spaces in them so the lines are not truly empty. This problem is especially bad if you are editing in "BBCode" mode. 6) -- When editing in "BBCode" mode, line wrap in the edit box does not break at word boundaries, but will just wrap in the middle of a word. It can be a little confusing. 7) -- Editing in "BBCode" mode would be much more productive if the other buttons in the edit box, for bold, links, etc, would function instead of being disabled.
  8. I still can't quote a post with embedded quotes using the quote button and have them survive. I tried to quote your post just above this one and this is all I got. Is there any way for me to be able to do what I want? You also still can not copy from one edit box to another, open in another tab, in "WYSIWYG" mode and have the quote or code boxes survive, but I did just discover that you can copy directly from a post to the edit box and the quote and code boxes will survive. So maybe that's a way to accomplish what I wanted to above. It's strange that works better than the quote button. And no, the issue you mention in the above post is NOT fixed. Type % 16, without the extra space. Toggle the BBCode mode button and it will disappear. It actually disappears when switching from "WYSIWYG" mode to "BBCode" mode. If you enter the % 16 in "BBCode" mode, it seems it will survive getting posted. It also seems to survive if just entered in "WYSIWYG" mode. But you can then never go back to "BBCode" mode for that post. Let's test and see: I'll type % 16 between the parentheses while in "BBCode" mode - (%16) Then I'll switch to "WYSIWYG" mode and do the same - (%16) Now I'll post and see if they survive, but if I ever open this post in "BBCode" mode they will disappear again. The issue of the code or quote box disappearing with a backspace and not being able to get it back with Ctrl-Z is sort of fixed. Sometimes it comes back with one Ctrl-Z and sometimes I had to hit Ctrl-Z as many as three times in a row to get it back. I have no idea why. But it's a little progress I guess. There is still an issue of the difficulty in trying to get the spacing the way you want it between the code or quote blocks and the surrounding text. The board software usually deletes "empty" lines around those blocks, even multiple lines and sometimes even if you put spaces in them so the lines are not truly empty. Unfortunately, from reading over at the IP Board forum, I'm not holding my breath that any of these issues that have anything to do with the "BBCode" mode will ever be fixed, even though there are indeed many users who are complaining. It seems the staff believes that they just need to make the "WYSIWYG" mode work correctly so that folks don't need to use the "BBCode" mode at all. But maybe if they get enough complaints, who knows? We know none of this is your fault Nik. Thanks for doing your best to keep the board as updated as possible. Cheers and Regards EDIT - Changed "pretty" mode to "WYSIWYG" mode
  9. Odd, since with IE9 you are able to have both IE9 32-bit and IE9 64-bit as separate installed options. EDIT: From reading at the link you provided, it seems that many are having issues with IE10, though that was a little while back. Also, reading further at a link provided at the other site - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2012/03/23/understanding-ie10-enhanced-protected-mode-network-security-addons-cookies-metro-desktop.aspx - shows that there are differences in IE10 depending on whether it is installed on Win7 or Win8. It is very confusing to follow because there are now all these things to consider: Manager Processes Content Processes Enhanced Protected Mode AppContainer IE Tabs Not to mention Desktop IE and Metro-style IE. From a quick read, I'll quote: and Bottom line, I'll think I'll wait a bit for it to get settled out a little more, especially since I try to avoid using IE anyway. Cheers and Regards
  10. You mean you can no longer find it to DL again? As if it knows you are already running it so it knows you don't need it? Does it seem to run correctly? (I DL'd both 32 and 64 bit versions for my collection, but did not install - I don't use IE) I guess I could PM you or post the direct links if that would help you. Just let me know. Cheers and Regards
  11. Thanks mooms. Cheers and Regards
  12. Video has been deleted. It must have been really good. LOL Cheers and Regards (I suggest thread be deleted if another copy can not be found)
  13. @dotfusion, I'm curious. What did App/Tweak did you add that added the "Opens with" and "Security" sections to the General Tab of the Properties box? Any other useful goodies added? Cheers and Regards
  14. And use USB2 ports, not USB3. Cheers and Regards
  15. If that is true, then it might depend on your install medium, ie HDD vs SSD etc, how much Ram you have installed, whether you use a RAM disk, the speed of your RAM and CPU, how many drivers you are using SAD2 to process, and perhaps other things. I guess you'll have to try it and find out. And even if you find the optimal mix for your system, that doesn't mean that will be best for everyone. Cheers and Regards
  16. I guess you could even "compress" them at compression level 0, which is no compression at all, so that your decompression should be instantaneous. Cheers and Regards
  17. What kind of changes, since I have an account there I use on occasion, and what kind of upgrade did you have to do? EDIT: I saw your note at Ryan's that you can no longer share certain types of files with a free account. Can you give a link where that is documented? Even their FAQ page is down right now. EDIT2: Your DL link works fine now. Cheers and Regards
  18. Blocked and doesn't work for me either. Cheers and Regards
  19. You have my permission to quote all or any part of any of my posts as you see fit and post them in the IPS community forums. Perhaps if they get enough complaints it might inspire them to come up with a fix sooner, even if it is a temporary one until version 4.0 comes out. I know you are doing what you can for our benefit. Cheers and Regards my friend
  20. I'm not clear. Do the installs cause the requirement for a reboot themselves, or will they not install correctly because something else caused the need for a reboot? In either case, you could try to change your install order so that the one that causes the need for a reboot is done last. Cheers and Regards
  21. All I did was quote your post, (my edit box is set to load with BBCode Mode enabled), and sure enough, all instances of "% 16" (without the extra space) just vanished. I thought maybe this was one of those times that the actual post was going to be different than the edit box, so I posted after doing no changes at all, but nope, still gone. Good catch mooms. I then also noticed that when I came back in to edit the post the "smart" software had decided to delete the "no longer needed" first color block [ color = # 0000ff ] [ /color ] since there was now nothing inside it after deleting the % 16. I wonder if there are other "magic" character strings that are automatically "interpreted/changed" in either "BBCode" or "pretty" mode? I wish there was some way to turn off the edit box's "intelligence" so it would just "Da*%&n it, print what I say, with no interpretation at all because I know what I want!!!". N1k, is there any possible way to reload the board software with an older version? There don't seem to be any major issues for casual or first time posters, but this is beginning to effect the frequent posters more and more. Just a thought. Cheers and Regards
  22. Assuming you wiped the USB and the build was the only thing on the stick, I can't see why either thing would happen. Very strange. Cheers and Regards
  23. Thanks, I thought so but thought I'd make sure. I wonder if it would also be compatible with wGetGUI v1.20? I'll have to try it and see one of these days. Cheers and Regards
  24. Since the USB 3.0 Stick should be USB 2.0 compatible, does the same thing happen if you plug your USB 3.0 Stick into a USB 2.0 socket? Because you might be having problems with USB 3.0 drivers not being available at setup. But I would think that in a USB 2.0 socket it should work. If it doesn't, to verify whether it is the USB situation or your build that is the problem, you could copy the EXACT same install that worked from your "older 4GB USB 2.0 Stick" onto your new "32GB 3.0 Stick" and see if that will install from the USB 2.0 socket. If it does, then there is something wrong with your new build. Cheers and Regards
