Thanks coathanger

[coathanger]

Glad you guys like it. Quick question - Do you think there are too many adverts now?

Hi coathanger!

Great site. Great content! It's bookmarked. Thanks for putting it up.
Is there any way to move the pop-unders to a side-bar or to avoid them?...

Hi Hewee:

The program I'm using is PhotoFiltre and I'm new at editing pictures too
Have you figured out the transparency? The transparency color is a color you choose. For example, if I had a picture of a lake with trees all around and sky, and I wanted to make the lake only transparent, I wouldn't choose blue as the transparency color because that would also make the sky transparent. So, I would fill the lake with the color red, and make red the transparency color, and end up with a picture with a hole where the lake was.

I'm not allowed to alter the pop under code unfortunately. But I have removed one of them (so only one popunder now).

Thanks lizard, I have not used the program but a couple of time so don't know how everything works yet.

Guys, I need an honest opinion here. I've place some massive adverts e.g. http://decentdownloads.x-istence.com/Office/Office.html
Do you think visitors would revisit after being subjected to these adverts?

[hewee]

Well I hate big ads but your site really was not to bad. It did not have the real big one on all the pages I looked at.

At first I was thinking you had flash ads and that I hate more then anything.
But after I turn my flash on I seen you had a flash menu.
Note: for people that don't have flash or want to use they will not be able to get around your site. I can get around if I go to your home page without flash but there is now link with the flash on the other pages to get to the other pages you have or the back to the home page.

coathanger you have gone to a lot of trouble gathering all the stuff / info you have and I applaud you for it. I agree with the others that have posted here. There is a lot of good stuff there. My one objection, please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't freeware intended to be free for as long as a user decides it to be. As your site is supposed to be made up of freeware why did I notice program(s) with 30 day trial periods? The first one I saw made me vamoose in short order. Dang it, I hate trial periods!

[coathanger]

Firstly, thanks for the comments.
Now, which programs are you referring to. Some of the freeware authors may have changed from free to trialware. I do make an effort to host the last freeware version though.

Sorry I don't remember which one it was.

[coathanger]

That's OK. It may have been True launch bar which I notice now has a nagscreen (but no limitation period). Previous versions had that 30 day limit.

BTW, I've now removed those big ugly adverts - they were an eyesore

Just thought I'd suggest an addition to your list of software. Ever heard of PDF995? It's an excellent and simple little utility that is totally free that is used to make PDF files. It really beats paying $500+ for Adobe. The only thing I don't like about it is that it opens up a sponsor page in your browser each time you run the program. Here's the link:

Thanks for the suggestion Holly. I have been meaning to place pdf creation tools on my site but haven't gotten around to it yet. I use Promopdf:

If you don't mind a small textlink at the bottom, I recommend pdfFactory which has a whole swag of features

I have just received an email from the author of True Launch bar. He has now released a lite freeware version http://www.freelaunchbar.com/download.php
