Has anyone else been having this problem lately? At least half the time I try to post, the forums go Boom and my post is eaten. And it's periodic; for example, I've tried to post something like 5 times in the past 10 minutes but it won't work. But I posted something earlier in the day and it worked just fine, but the day before I couldn't post anything either.

Also, if this post works, I will cry.

The biggest update is that Yahoo Mail will now let you access email from other account providers through the Yahoo Mail app. Users will now be able to connect mail accounts from Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL to Yahoo Mail. BUT…not to Gmail.

As for passwords,

Remember "Firefly."

That should be in the back of every programmer's personal perspective, like "Remember the Alamo," "Never again!," or the "Fermi Paradox," cosmic tweets conveying the essence of a haunting question or a meta-wrong still not set right, or, ... if you will, a battle cry!  Look up "Firefly."  Here's a reasonable source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(website)

So on the machine I use everyday I have an issue. I use Chrome. When in Chrome, I get constant redirects and popups. 

I have tried the following with these results:

AVG full scan - clean
MSE full scan - clean
Malewarebytes - clean
Superantispyware - clean
Spybot - clean
ADWcleaner - clean
Hitman PRO - clean

The popups and browser hijacks have to be some sort of virus. But all of these say the machine is clean???

The nice part is that it’s written in non geek English, and links to “How to stay safe online” and “How to protect your online privacy”…another two very good articles.

Windows still disappear when being moved when Wobbly windows is enabled, and a window is moved. There are a few windows that don't disappear (like the Object Desktop Manager), but most do.

I have also noticed these problems:

Window flip will cause a window to complete disappear, and text to be printed on top of whatever is behind the window.Other animations (Window, Menus, and Start menu) seem to occur with the object completely transparent during the animation. Menus appear after a br...

A while back I was having icons jump out of different fences. I was given a link to download a fix. It did not fix it.

 

Since then I've done a clean install of Windows 10 and Fences 2.13 entering my Product Key and all appeared well except that I'm still having the same problem. I can't recreate the problem. I create a fence and drop icons into it and View > Lock Fences." After a while an icon is outside the fence sitting on my desktop.

 

Any suggestions?

 I didn’t remember his name right off the bat…but I remember what he did. We all do, actually.Ken Taylor, a former Canadian diplomat who sheltered fugitive American Embassy staffers at his Tehran home at great personal risk during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, has died. He was 81.

"As Canada’s ambassador to Iran, Taylor played a key role in the rescue mission carried out by the Canadian government and the CIA. Known as the "Canadian Caper," the mission i...

I didn't buy Fences for all the bells and whistles - just the facility for taking snapshots and Saving/Restoring them.

It does that quite nicely - and that justifies my ten bucks.

 

But I think you guys should take the AutoArrange thing more seriously.   This is a significant lapse vis-a-vis Windows Desktop behavior.

I understand the thing about resizing Fences and wanting to re-flow the icons.... but it's also obvious that with AutoArrange=Off Fences could be re-si...

Several others have asked this question but I've seen zero reply from StarDock.  Maybe I can ask a bit differently.


What particular file would I need to sync in order to get the same layout on each computer.  Please note, all files that I keep on the deskop are synced to the cloud and therefore in directories that are identical on both computers (also, the same drive: C).  I use both DropBox and Google Drive.  Thus, all files on my desktop are in those folders. &nbsp...

Well my Partner and I have taken the plunge and bought a block of land and will be building our dream home. At the moment we are in the planning stage with a reputable builder. For those Aussies it's GJ Gardner Homes. We are auctioning the house in Melbourne in March so the proceeds from that will be more than enough to cover the entire costs for our new abode. So far in 2 open days there have been 68 groups of people gone through the house, 10 of those have requested engineering reports and...

So basically WindowFX 6 is just WindowFX 5.15 with added Windows 10 animations and Windows 10 compatibility?

I think Stardock should add Windows 10 features like "snap assist". I feel it is not worth to use WindowFX 6 just because of added Windows 10 compatibility. A lot of people still use Windows 7/8/8.1.

 

Thanks
