Living Room / Suggestions wanted for Best Sites for Kids on our links page

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 04:59 PM »

i'd like to ask those who have small kids for recommendations for the very top 3-5 websites for young kids, to add to our Best Links page (https://www.donation...com/Links/index.html).  Remember we aren't trying to list a ton of sites, just the top few.

(if there are other topic groups you think we are missing on Best Web Links page i welcome those too).

nighted these are fantastic posts - i love em!
may i recommend you post future mini-reviews like these in the "user mini-review" section:
https://www.donation...index.php?board=42.0

i will move this post over to that section in a bit.

this "software in the wild" section is also appropriate for what you are posting, but your posts are more full and complete than most, and with screenshot and website and recommendation, they are the kind of little reviews that deserve to be in their own section.  i'm making you honorary member and i hope you will keep making these kinds of posts, they are really nice to read.

thanks nighted, panekiller looks cool !
i wonder if i shouldn't move this post (and some others) into the mini-user-review section of the forum, we really could use more mini reviews like this, and i love seeing screenshots.  keep up these recommendations, very useful!

Finished Programs / Re: DONE - IDEA: modify system path (System Path Commander)

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 01:51 PM »

great find zeemar, never heard of that one.
more info on torry's site:
http://www.torry.net...thorsmore.php?id=919

i'll add it to the system path commander help file list of related programs.


ps.
the new versions of system path commander do in fact now update the path immediately after changes.

General Software Discussion / Re: Thumbnails on mouseover...

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 12:18 PM »

so i looked at Instant Thumbnail (http://www.contextmagic.com/) which you said does what you want but isnt the program you are looking for..

i wonder how they do that - it may be super simple to write a similar app.

what exactly about Instant Thumbnail don't you like - besides the fact that it's not free of course.

General Software Discussion / Re: Thumbnails on mouseover...

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 12:16 PM »

i know of some tools that show images in the right click properties menu but not any that show image on mouse over, though it does sound useful..

but you know it really does sound like a better solution might be an alternative file browser that has built in support for this, as opposed to the default windows file explorer.

nice find !
the site (http://www.gena01.com/) has a bunch of small freeware utilities that might really suit those people who like minimalistic lighweight tools.

Living Room / Re: link-exchange - spread the word about DonationCoder.com!

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 12:08 PM »

we could always use more attention   

so far we have decided not to take any advertising or do any link exchanging because we want to remain objective and not seem to promote any other sites or software that we don't truly believe in and recommend above all others.

our current page of best links on the web:https://www.donationcoder.com/Links/index.html

but we have talked about adding a special page to more freeware/donationware author sites than are currently on our links page, which doesn't have room for as many that i would like to list.  what do you think? it would be a special page listing sites that are run by freeware/donationware authors that we like.

Screenshot Captor / Re: "Save as..." bug - or is it?

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 12:04 PM »

i think you are right - at least when the new file name is in the main screenshot directory.
i think the reason i didn't do it that way is in case you save the file in a different directory i didn't want to have screenshot captor change directories.
but i will do it as you say when you save in the same directory - good idea!

next version will have to be called the "brotherS bugfix edition"

« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2005, 04:06 AM »

a lot of people entered for this one, winners were picked at random this morning, and everyone who entered was sent an email regarding whether you won or not.

if you didn't win a free copy, please don't feel bad, we will be having more drawings soon and your time will come if you keep entering

i guess it might be easier to keep track of if each bug was in its own thread..
but then maybe we might have so many threads that the forum software would crash
