Quoting the actual post... [quote]I've been trying real hard to get some Karma, but I'm not getting any....

Reply to Opera 9.50 Is Evil in Internet Stardock Forums

robinnorth, when you have a web app (like the forums that stardock run) which switch data/variables/display based on hostname, it's kinda hard to use http://localhost/anything. Additionally, when you have sripts/images/css based off of the root of a website using the localhost/appname schema can be incredibly irritating. This effects web developers who are doing things slightly more advanced to the point where a localhost address just wont do.

Reply to myBoard : The Mac OSX Dashboard on Windows in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

Well after having looked through the source code I think it's pretty neat what you're doing. I've seen some of the code in this app around the net in examples on code sites, some of it I think is pretty creative. Although requiring vs.net, .net 3.5 (which is an effin massive download) you're going to limit your developer base pretty severely. The success of Yahoo!Widgets/Konfabulator/OSX Dashboard is attributed mainly due to its ease of development, and Deskto

Opera 9.50 Is Evil in Internet Stardock Forums

Well it looks like the infinate wisdom of the people resposible for the Firefox 3.0 Download Manager has infected the developers of Opera. Opera 9.50 with all of its speed, rendering and UI improvements has managed to infuriate me. Why? Because I'm a web developer responsible (at the moment) for 20 something major websites, all of which need to be tested locally before we publish them into the wilds of the intertubes.

Hrm. This is a bothersome trend... people posting asking for karma. The Karma system is designed to be a reward system to users by other users for being a helpful/nice/pleasing member of the community. It isn't a status thing but more of a 'thanks' thing. I'm going to talk with Zoomba when he gets back amount making a new forum rule against Karma Begging. I feel it defeats the purpose of the system.

Reply to Forum bug: Mark all, does not mark all :( in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

It's generally bad form to tell a website how their website shoud perform. It's always appropriate to ask for features, but generally not to instruct people who run a website as to what they should be doing. ;) You will not always receive a warm welcome with that approach. If you are logged in, the forums will track what posts youve read and display icons for the posts appropriately. This has been in place for some time and works as designed. Because we have well over 500,000 posts (and

Reply to No textareas on Safari in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Zoomba is up north frolicking through the sand dunes so I'll be fielding posts like this, this week. Safari is not officially supported on any of our websites. We are not currently writing any code or layout to support Safari. This is the current, final word. We will likely support Safari in the distant, far off future. However, Safari support is not presently a priority and will not be for some time to come. Feel free to continue to discuss the issue, but our current position wil

Reply to Does sales ever answer the phone? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

You can also email [email protected]. The forums are used primarily for product techincal support and sales issues are never handled publicly and in the open on our forums. Stardock isn't known for unfair billing practices and I'm sure that our sales people will get you fixed up. I can assure you that no one is avoiding you or giving you the run around. Unfortunately we lack the sales staff of the larger online sales websites that many

Reply to Dear MozDev, WHAT Were You Thinking? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

[quote]I find the searching to be vastly useful, and if you need to see the download location, just right click any file.[/quote] Sure, great, they put info in another spot. That's cool. But zero points for removing functionality in favor of a harder-to-find implementation. I think it's great they put a search tool in there. But guess what? Files are downloaded to my machine which *gasp* has a search utility. I think they were trying to be too much like Apple and MS (xerox machine) by
