Yes, that was me who prompted naroon1 to post his monthly AI graphics thread. It may not be something I will ever use, or want to use, but I know it's the future and is and/or will be extremely popular. I only know that because of my history of graphics without its use. ;)

Having been a Professional Designer [Architect] for 50 years I will never adopt AI as a 'tool' for graphic art, not when I was doing life drawing 54 years ago. Architecture itself has been rendered mechanical and lifeless by CAD already, even before the 1-click wonder of synthetic craft.

I don't remember you being on the list of lost accounts, but the login was problematic for several people at the time... just follow Basj's solution/action.

First involvement with computers was in 1969 or 70 ...Fortran and punch cards that were amazingly underwhelming. Second was visiting my brother in law who worked for the Snowy Mountains Authority as a Civil Engineer.... he had his own 'terminal' on his desk about the size of the original Xerox photo copier that had its own 5k ram independent of the mainframe that took up the floor below. That would have been about 1970 when I was still 15. I think I still have my first c

I would expect the 'Master Of Coding' is shifting focus to Wincustomize.com stuff beyond the Forums... Assume if things ain't working as expected there be spanners in play...;)

"Object Desktop" is Stardock's name for their Subscription process for the included suite of programs. By definition it is a Subscription-only Subscription. Reason being the on-going fee caters for both new and updated products across a range of types. A single purchase 'lifetime' option for the typical Stardock product, for example Fences 6, means you are entitled to each and all updates and revisions to Fences 6. It does not automatically follow on to a later r

[quote]So, I decided to start uninstalling things in an attempt to see what the issue was. I uninstalled Fences 6 first. Immediately my computer ran like new!!! [/quote] At best that only indicates something is conflicting with Fences, not that Fences is a problem. If the problem was specific to Fences we would be inundated with similar posts, which we are not. That defines the issue is 'specific' to your system installation and a combination of Fences

[quote]Wincustomize was started in 2001 and in internet years, that's about as old as the Big Bang. [/quote] Of course, those of us who were there at the 'Big Bang' just feel a little older.... .....older than dirt, it seems ... ;) Behind the scenes I remember the whiz-bang new 'Admin' site going online. It had that ultra-modern name 'Admin 2007'. Stardock's Forum structure was, and still is unique, but still more quirky than clunky.&nbs

[quote]I'm getting what I believe to be bogus messages from Brad Wardell, but I am sure it's not Brad. Anyone else? [/quote] I think what you mean is you are getting real messages from a bogus 'Brad Wardell'. The messages are real, the sender is not ....;) Context and relevance. Ask yourself what reason would Brad have to be contacting you 'directly'? Typical communication [outside of Stardock's 'Teams] would be our site's PM system.... and

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="12" id="3990493"] Might be interesting if you downloaded and installed Proton VPN (free and excellent), so you can emulate being outside the USA...

[quote who="drawson1" reply="1" id="3990118"] FYI, removing the "@Lindaackay" made the reply work. You need to fix that since it's a common way to refer to another individual who is part of the discussion! Dan [/quote] Ther's a quote option built into the Forums for that purpose.
