Andavari

I used Paint.net and make a transparent border around mine, it's easier if it's square though. I used 300x300 with the image well inside the square so it wouldn't be cut-off.

Win7 updates til at least 1st July 2025? Yeah, right.

Some of the changes make very little sense for usability.

I've just discovered today more non-intuitive rubbish, editing a topic title is worse. Screenshot:

CCleaner already has the ability to delete DNS Cache although I don't know if it's the same as running a system command like ipconfig /flushdns. It's located in CCleaner at 'Windows > System > DNS Cache'. Never having used it myself I'd assume you'd probably have to reboot after using it for it to be effective.

From the screenshots it does look very good compared to how Win10 looks.

Some don't know that's how you change the avatar now, I certainly didn't and had to figure it out when asked in a PM by someone. Dumbing down stuff for the sake of making it look "clean" has drawbacks.

How to change your avatar image using Invision v4.2.5: 1. At the upper-right click your user name. 2. Click Profile. 3. Click the image icon, and then choose your local image file to upload as your avatar. Screenshot example:

The Earth while it's a sphere isn't technically round, as explained here. Hey the magical ice walls keep you from falling into outer space.

Here's some examples: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|D:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile CustomLocation2=CHROME|D:\PortableApps\IronPortable\Profile

I'm not a fan of the circle images in this forum software version. Seems too restrictive, someone may want something square instead, and don't forget about the triangle fans.

MVPS isn't quite enough! MalwareDomainList is listed in uBlock Origin as a 3rd party filter ("subscription"). I also use their HOSTS file (which isn't updated too often, but worth having): http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt

Nobody likes the new forum software much, but messin' with the avatars has to be the last straw!

Finally updated it again after being stuck on the old v1.13.8 (Legacy), and this time it's not a mess using v1.14.20 - although I had to restore my settings that I previously made a backup of.

I don't have a Christmas hat to put onto my Ford GT. Avatar that is, I wish I had the actual car - hope Santa is reading this.

MVPS HOSTS File updated 30 November 2017. URL: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

It's not just the Adguard Annoyances List that takes care of the cookies agreement, one of the other filter subscriptions I have also blocks them - I don't know which other it is though.

Could also be Windows itself, some updates can botch the OS installation making it buggy, or a combination of software that doesn't work well together such as having two antivirus softwares installed at the same time. However the malware removal advice given in the post above this one is something to seriously consider!

Seems like every major forum software upgrade that the Admins have to play around with the settings.

You can also manually edit it if you use ccleaner.ini instead of having the settings stored in the registry. Example: BackupDir=C:\Some Folder\CCleaner Registry Cleaner Undo

Absolutely, been wanting that literally for years. Then again the developers could help tremendously by categorizing it so things don't just end up anywhere inside of ccleaner.ini, such as: [Options] [App Cleaners] [User Excludes] [User Includes]

I figured out my problem with not being able to post or send PM's, it was because I had DOM Storage disabled in Firefox. Re-enabling it made the forum usable again.

That's why I manually clean ccleaner.ini periodically. Remove renamed entries, and remove things I no longer have a need for.

All of the ExcludeKey's I have in my winapp2.ini for things I've personally put into it contain: \| Even for stuff located in D:\PortableApps which has to be written exactly as that in winapp2.ini with no environment variable used, otherwise they don't seem to work.

Glad you understood that Winapp2.ini, like Nergal I didn't know what that post was about.
