Ok, the following are just my honest thoughts. At the end of the day what really matters is that your vision is becoming reality the way you want. I love what you do here and your programs are amazing and so are the people who contribute. I'm only telling you what I think not because I want people to think less of you, but because I wish those financial resources were spent on making donationcoder even better than it already is in a different way.

I was totally shocked to learn that you're paying 400$ a month for hosting services (I had to read it several times, even 400$  a year would look very expensive to me!).
Total overkill. The way I see it, . License key scripts take only a few seconds of cpu power (And I'm guessing you're not getting a new one every 5 minutes),  a forum with less than 10.000 active members + CMS and a few extras here and there, shouldn't cost more than 300 a year. Sure, shared hosting, it works fine. I don't think fpt hosting is needed on your site, the coders don't mind hosting their files anywhere else (all the links would live here).
I ran a forum with 9500 members, online chat (which eats lots and lots of cpu) and online arcade running fine for years, paying 200 a year. 
In my opinion, you've created a paralell universe in your mind where you think you need a dedicated server + maintenance, etc. but to an ordinary admin, it looks totally unnecessary given your current needs. At the end of the day, members want to see : life, movement, activity. If the page loads in 0.10 instead of 0.03, cool, but it is meaningless.

By the way, I think donationcoder's skin looks terribly out of date. It feels like visiting a 199x forum. I love it just the same, but I'm just saying...

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: "Invisible clip" ? (Ignore Clip Hotkey)
« on: April 21, 2017, 03:16 AM »
Thanks Tomos, I was aware of that, yes.

Mouser: I understand that some of our requests are much harder to implement than some of us naïve users imagine. But I don't think that addresses my request at all, because the real life scenario that most people get is completely different: People copy and paste stuff all the time. URLs, images, etc. Then maybe they have to copy a bank account number from their password list app, they have to switch off the program. Then switch it on again. Then they don't want to save an image into the clipboard, off again, on again. Another image, etc. Switching it on and off is actually a rather cumbersome "solution" to the situation I was describing. It makes it even more confusing than actually deleting it manually.
Having said that, being able to toggle on and off the program using a hotkey is definitely a nice addon to the program.

Clipboard Help+Spell / "Invisible clip" ? (Ignore Clip Hotkey)
« on: April 20, 2017, 09:54 AM »
Just a quick question. I don't know the program well enough, I don't think it's a current feature, but is it possible to copy something into windows clipboard but not being recorded by HSP? (call it "invisible clip" if you like).
The reason why I'm asking this is that there are times when you do need something on your clipboard but you don't really want it to be saved into the clipboard manager because you know you're going to have to delete it afterwards (because it's sensitive information or whatever other resason)  so it only adds junk to the clipboard list.
It'd be cool if you could just press a special combination of keys to do that...

IainB: not sure how I phrased that exactly (my appologies)  but the current behaviour (in this beta version) is what I wanted it to be! :)
Thanks Mouser!  :up:
