[quote who="Jafo" reply="2" id="3971925"] It would be far more appropriate to have posted a single thread with the heading "Bugs in Galciv IV" and simply listed them together or add to them via comment responses. [/quote] This is a request, not a suggestion. Spamming the forum with multiple threads displaces other users' threads from current focus. Consideration for others using the Forums is a "standard practice" also.

saboorohit .. It would be far more appropriate to have posted a single thread with the heading "Bugs in Galciv IV" and simply listed them together or add to them via comment responses. 12 separate threads makes it far more laborious for people to follow and respond and is disrespectful to other site users whose own threads are hugely displaced. The trick is...when an Admin sees a large number of threads from one user he automatically assumes it is an un

Acronis is intended to Image your drive so you can recover from a total loss. To do that it's essential there is more than one drive as it's pointless to store images on the same drive you are concerned might fail. I've used it for decades, and it has saved me more than once [from my own stupidity even]. Without user input I do a full image of the OS drive on one day then the next 5 days are incremental backups [just things that change] then back to another full. <p

[quote]Sadly Microsoft is pushing the installation of Win11 on us even if we don't want or need it. [/quote] Resistance isn't futile. You can always say 'NO'. It's only been the last 6 months or so that original Windows 7 apps have been no longer supported and made inoperable as they evolved and only functioning still in 10 or beyond. All of them can be ignored anyway. This OS was first turned on in January, 2016. It outlived the M.2 dr

Stardock's Windowblinds and Stardock's Start 11 work seamlessly together. There is little incentive for Stardock to alter their perfectly good programs to cater for a competitor's. The onus to 'adapt' would be more correctly on StartAllBack as that is several decades younger than Windowblinds and thus should have itself been made to work with what exists already, rather than the reverse.

[quote who="Sarah" reply="5" id="3970492"] Curious—what draws everyone back to older games when there are so many new ones out there? Is it habit, pure fun, nostalgia, or a great brain break? [/quote] All of the above, probably. My old faves were things like Terra Nova ... ran that again recently via Dosbox. I still have pretty much every Mechwarrior game made [for PC], though haven't played it in a decade or so. Only 'real' game I frequent is F

[quote who="craiggunhouse" reply="9" id="3970328"] Norton 360? I don't know if anti-virus software alters the recycling bin, and is causing ObjectDock to act differently. Anti-virus software has been known to cause issues. [/quote] If any AV was going to cause issues it would be Norton.

[quote who="craiggunhouse" reply="6" id="3970320"] I found the problem; the recycle bin needs to be removed. [/quote] Yes, mine too has a recycle bin, but no issue. Sounds like something you delete from a removable drive isn't releasing its link to the drive when you attempt to eject. If you empty the recycle prior to eject then nothing can interfere, though I don't recall ever having to.

My system has been active since January 2015... an uptime of over 10 years. It has always had ObjectDock installed and there has never been an issue with drives not ejecting. Currently there are 11 physical Hard drives. 2 are USB, 6 are hotswap SSD. The only ones that do not 'eject' are internal M.2, 1 of which is the OS anyway...;)

In the late 80s Australia hosted the first Nascar races ever outside the US. Needless to say I worked them all. I enjoyed the ease of reading the car numbers anywhere around the track. They were fairly popular here... but the owner of the circuit had a falling out with the Australian governing body for Motor Racing and it all died away. The absurdity of it now is our world famous Touring/Group A/Supercar format has ended up identical to the Nascar road circuit format

I've therefore done 45 AGPs and all 40 Inter F1 AGPs, so it's time to retire after 50 years as a Race Official ...;)

[quote who="Iben" reply="2" id="3968456"] Bluesky is a decentralized, open-source social media app that's often compared to X (formerly Twitter). It allows users to share short-form text posts (sometimes called "skeets"), images, and videos. Unlike some other social media platforms, Bluesky is built on an open protocol, giving users more control over their experience and allowing developers to build features without being beholden to a single p
