Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default where is link for Pro version?

I purchased the Pro version for Mac last September which was supposed to include six months of updates as well as I recall but never received any so I assume there were none. Would anyone know if this correct?

Also, if I want to uninstall my current pro version (version 4.5) and reinstall it, where is the link for the version for which I paid?

All I can find now is a "new" version requiring addtional payment and I would not want to pay again until all of the bugs are worked out and it doesn't appear that they are.

Thanks for any help.

The Pro Page only shows the current version, and I've never received email notification of updates (always had to manually check). There were many releases in the six months after last September. Good idea for a feature request, but that doesn't help you now.

Thanks for the links to the free versions but there should be a link somewhere to the older paid versions. I've emailed and emailed and never received even one reply.

Since I didn't use it until recently, I would have never known there was an update but would think that I'm entitled to receive what I paid for. Right?

Any suggestions?

BTW, since I never received any updates by email notification, where might I find those updates now?

Hope you stay with me on my questions as I am now starting to use this thing and I see you've been at this for a while. So Thanks for that.

(I messaged you the rambling answer: here's the short)
--watch for posts by bootylicious (I'm too rusty on Classic, but will help when I can)
--major Mac OS bugs with java are too expensive to fix unless Apple releases its code to volunteers
--links for past Pro updates aren't stored (Pro Updates are dynamic)
--Pro email is not likely to respond to expired Pro requests

--Free is pretty much as good as Pro on Mac OS, and LW 4 should work the best.

regards--stief
