I have noticed an alarming trend among the 'new user' profiles of late in which a significant portion have commercial / advertising / spam URLs connected to the 'current signature' section of their profiles. POSTING using these types of URLs or hidden / masked URLs will GET YOU BANNED from this forum WITHOUT NOTICE and the offending post will either be removed (if irrelevant) or edited (if it contains anything that actually contributes to the forum). If this trend continues, more actions by the moderators may be necessary to keep the Ketarin forum focused on Ketarin. It would also be nice if other legitimate users would use the 'Report' link related to an offending post to help the moderators in this effort. Thanks for everyone's cooperation! I have started banning new users with frivolous posts to ANY thread if they have spam URLs in their profiles as of 8/8/10... Addendum: THIS THREAD is for the Admin and Moderators unless you have some input of MAJOR significance.

Just more proof of the need to dump IE... one of the first things I do when building/customizing a client's PC is to install Firefox and Google Chrome portable with updater. The ONLY thing I do with IE is forced MS update if I have a choice.

Although I have never used {startuppath} in any of my templates... it is documented as being added as of version 1.0.7 (beta) in your post Flo. See this: http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2522#p2522 Has it been dropped?

Sorry Flo... I haven't looked at that in months now and simply forgot it.

@necrox, Look at some of FranciscoR's templates... if I recall correctly, he used a similar method at one time.

@Flo, Thanks for the new release. I don't think I can do much testing but can you enlighten me on the 'multireplace' additions?

Actually Flo, I am discovering the Ketarin forum to be more therapy for me than I ever realized. I need the therapy at least a few times a week and it's a lot cheaper than counseling. LOL In other words... you may be stuck with me, albeit less frequently and in a more limited role. As I have stated before, I LOVE Ketarin and wish to contribute to it's future as it has radically modified my tech responsibilities! Without it, I would still be manually retrieving 100s of dls for PC/Linux support or using much less effective means.

deogracia has already developed a NSIS installer script here Flo: http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=478 Maybe this would work for ELECTRIC1.

It's working with the extension in place and extracting normally for me... I don't have a clue on this one.

I believe shawn wishes to decrease the amount of html that regex would have to process and possibly increase performance Flo. Forgive me if I'm wrong shawn, but it is a very interesting prospect if possible.

Yes Shawn... variables within the referrer is one of the things we lobbied Flo for and it was added in February to Ketarin's feature-set. See this post: http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=3294#p3294

@Flo, I'll continue to contribute when I can... at the very least I will log-in every couple of days to delete spam for you and answer questions on a less frequent basis. BTW, forum member username 'shawn' has offered to help as a moderator on a limited basis (2x a week or so). He apparently is a 'technogeek' like me, so I feel confident he can contribute in other ways to the forum as well as his time permits.

FLO!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with these spammers... 'Elfin Ruler', 'yentb' and this 'leekien' character above have GOT TO GO!! PLEASE either give me the ability to do it or do it as SOON as possible. This is ridiculous and is killing the forum that we have worked so hard for... IMHO. There may be others but this would be a start.

I'll still get this to you Shawn at some point... I may e-mail it to you instead of posting it until I'm completely satisfied with it.

Yes... THANKS deogracia... I will package it for my less techno-geek clients.

Sorry josh... I forgot about that being added or I would have responded.

That works for some of mine but not all 60+ SF downloads... I'll figure it out eventually.

@necrox, Although I have removed them from the two forum sections that I still have moderator privileges for, I don't have privileges for the other three, so at the present I can't help. I just e-mailed Flo regarding escalating my privileges so at least I can log-in every couple of days and clean things up for him since he's tied up with CDBurnerXP and hopefully he'll give me the privileges required to boot these offensive spammer accounts as well.

Thank you all for your kind comments, however, this is not goodbye as I'll still be stopping by from time to time to see how things are going and contribute... (should have made that point more clear). And... I won't rule out offering to help again in the future if Flo will allow. I just don't have the time necessary to do justice as a moderator here for the foreseeable future.

I think I had the two forward slashes in my previous post confused with two backslashes ( \\ )... Try two backslashes ( \\ ) with EACH backslash you use... in other words... 3 backslashes will make 1 backslash in regex.

See my post regarding SourceForge in the 'Templates' section shawn.

Yes indeed shawn, ALL of mine are broken as well. It appears you MUST have a referrer now for ALL downloads from SF. I have figured it out, but it will take some time to adjust all of the effected apps and change my personal template as it is a major tweak. I am capturing portions of the download URL and piecing it together to form the referrer. Such as: hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/{refer1}/files/{refer2}/download Where: {refer1} is the alphanumeric section just after hxxp://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ in the download URL and {refer2} is the remainder of the download URL before ?use_mirror to form referrers such as: hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/akelpad/files/AkelPad%204/x.x.x/AkelPad-x.x.x-bin-eng.zip/download Hope this helps!

THANK YOU Trident and I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for coming down on you so hard... it is out of my character and I should not have let my personal/professional situation 'spill over' into the forum. The last thing I want to do is sour someone's experience with Ketarin as I am so fond of it I donated my time for the past year to aid Flo's efforts. Under 'User List'... sort by number of posts... descending... and the Titles are listed... I believe Flo is devoting all his time to CDBurnerXP these days and will eventually address this... Sorry, but I was a 'Newbie' at one time also as we all are... Not so... it was not the question but the accusatory tone, however, I should NOT have reacted as I did. Again, I apologize. I am sure Flo will be back as soon as possible... PLEASE BE PATIENT EVERYONE and ENJOY Ketarin!

It is with deep sadness that I announce my resignation as moderator of the 'Tips and Tutorials' and 'Templates' sections of the Ketarin forum. I would like to THANK YOU ALL for the time here, especially Florian for allowing me to help here and with the development of such a WONDERFUL application as Ketarin. Life has changed dramatically for me in the past year, for better or worse, which has dramatically changed my priorities. I've lost so many family members this past year, my love for technology has now been relegated to a tertiary role in my life as I want to spend more time with my loved ones in the future. I pray you all can understand and respect my decision. I wish you all the best in life, especially Florian and those members that I had frequent direct contact with such as appyface, FranciscoR, Stalker and andreone... to name a few. THANKS for the ride and the memories. Again, THANK YOU FLO for the opportunity!
