  1. New Entry

     

    Merged [Garmin Express*] and [GARMIN MapSource*] into [Garmin*] and added some more locations.

    Please remove the [Garmin Express*] and [GARMIN MapSource*] entries.

     

    Should be kept separate IMO

  2.  

    I haven't seen anything that suggests that

    Neither have I, but every time I tried to update to 0.3 it said there were no updates available (last time I tried was yesterday), and visiting mozilla it stated I was using the most recent version. Very strange.

  3. Yet another bugfix release (making a slight mockery of the supposed major version numbering they adopted), version 43.0.3:

     

     

    - Fix network issue when using Nvidia's Network Access Manager
    - On some Windows configurations, improve the decoding of some videos on YouTube

     

  4. Watch out for Push notifications to be launched in build 44

     

     

    Info about this and how to disable it

    Hmmm, I can see one or two sites where this might be of use, but in general that sounds like a horrible feature. If I close a site, I'm done with it, I don't want it nagging me to come back every five mins <_<

     

    I do find it bizarre that Mozilla spent the last year or two stripping out functionality in the name of streamlining the browser, yet keep chucking in new tosh like this.

  5. Well spotted.. you win the Piriform Prize of the Month :)

     

    (hazel rummages in the moderators cupboard and finds the 'special' prize tin of biscuits !)

    Yay, I win ^_^

     

    Hang on, these say best before Dec 97, you sure these are safe??? :D

     

    This whole signed addons thing seems to be failing badly, I assume they are hoping making it compulsory will force devs to actually take it up. Especially when addons as simple as the British English dictionary are unsigned (and therefore this update will break spellcheck), along with 6 others I have that are currently unsigned.

  6. I of course meant for him to push the removals to the template, don't be stubborn for little reason.

    I wasn't being stubborn, was just clarifying that I was AGREEING with you to make sure there was no misunderstanding. Now my clarification of misunderstanding has been misunderstood. Not quite sure how you correct a misunderstood misunderstanding, that's like dividing by zero or something ain't it  :P 

  7. I don't understand this logic. If Auslogic Registry Cleaner is dangerous because it removes backup files made by that program, then all of the programs in the post listed below do the same.

    Correct, they should not be there, but until a member edits and submits (or suggests complete removal) of those entries they will remain. It's not that hard to understand. This is a COMMUNITY built file, all @Winapp2.ini does is compile all the entries into the downloadable file for US (no small job in itself). He is not a developer, he does this in his own free time and can't be expected to go through them all himself.

  8. And (as I believe I stated before) the only way to change/remove them is for community members to point out the entries which overstep this guideline, so @Winapp2.ini can cull them.

    I was referring to them being changed/removed by members, not winapp2 himself, he already does more than enough!

  9. I just wanted your lives to be easier. That program leaves lots of traces that are harder to delete manually.

     

    Read what you said before http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&p=264484

    My response http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&p=264572

    I was involved in that discussion, I know what was said. But the ethos of CCleaner right from day one was to be a SAFE cleaner, and not deleting registry backups has always fallen into that category. The solution to the entries that shouldn't be there is to remove/edit them, not add more.

  10. Thanks to all for the suggestions re: the problem I'm having with Firefox. I've managed to get the problem sorted out on my desktop computer but can't get it sorted out on my laptop! The settings on both computers are exactly the same so I don't know why Firefox works fine on one but not the other. Very curious.

     

    What I did was to disable then re-enable Shockwave Flash on both computers. It's worked for my desktop but not the laptop... I think I might have to uninstall Firefox from the laptop and then reinstall it and hopefully that will work.

     

    Of course the next update to Firefox, due in a few weeks time, will probably bring back the problem... oh for the days of Firefox 1.0 when everything was so simple!

    I followed the earlier suggestion of disabling hardware acceleration and protected mode and so far (coincidentally or not) the Flash crashes have stopped. Not got round to re-enabling one at a time to narrow down which of the two was at fault (presuming the fix is not actually coincidence)

  11. try uninstall/disable shockwave player

    for me, it's useless unless you're playing online games

    I'm pretty sure that Flash hangs in Firefox (I should know given the amount I see) inform you that SHOCKWAVE Flash is unresponsive, so probably nothing to do with Shockwave player (didn't even realise that still existed lol)

  12. Can anybody help me sort out a recurring problem I have with Firefox. Since the arrival of, I think it was Firefox 39 or Firefox 40, I am constantly getting a a script error on numerous websites which refers to a problem with Shockwave. It's annoying because the browser often freezes up and I must have to close down the browser upwards of a dozen times on some days. It's becoming very annoying and makes me think it's time to move on to another browser. I don't want to though as I've been using Firefox since December 2004. However all these constant updates are just seemingly wrecking what was once a reliable browser.

     

    Firefox has a help page that deals with this issue but I can't get their solution to work for me

     

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-plugin

     

    Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can do to sort out this problem?

    No suggestions for you I'm afraid, but you're not alone, I've been having regular Flash hangs for at least couple of months now.

  13. Ah, silly me, click the nondescript green square that for all the world appears to be, and functions as, a 'Go' button. Unless you leave the box blank, then it becomes a link to the advanced search page. So obvious :rolleyes: 

    Idiot forum software <_<

     

    Thanks Hazel

    Maybe it would help if I knew if Coffee4Joe used a mac or PC when posting the message I copied and pasted from my gmail inbox.  Maybe there is a problem there..... with the translation of line breaks?

    It's a formatting issue in the email notifications, I see it all the time, but given it's merely a notification of a new reply I click the link and read the, correctly formatted, post here. It's nothing too do with what machine Coffee4Joe is using.

     

    Start a thread about it in the discussion area if it bothers you, but given no one's complained about it (to my knowledge) in all the years I've been here I doubt it'll be considered high priority to fix, even if it CAN be fixed.

  15. @JDPower,

    and it appears again, later down...

    There's simply a line break missing in CSGalloway's copy and paste, it's a messed up formatting version of:

     

    Default=False

    FileKey1=

     

    You asked what FalseKey1 was, which doesn't appear anywhere.

     

    It must be psychic night on here or something :huh:
