DC Forum Post Notifier Lite (a.k.a. Pop-Up Cody) - v1.1.6 - May 21, 2007
CodeTRUCKER:
I've been silent, but I've been using it! Two issues, probably not new, but still a problem...
* It keeps bypassing my proxy - need proxy dialog?
* Steals focus - yes/no/sometimes... I know this doesn't help much, but this IS what is happening. Seems like it did not used to so this,but then it started??

I have been holding back from writing because I was waiting for a pattern to emerge. None has, except now it is to the point where it grabs focus every time.
Any ideas?

Calvin, does the new upload work for you wrt proxy and stealing focus problems? :) (here I experienced a lot of the Notifier taking away focus from active app recently)
Update: the problem of grabbing focus is still there, guess I'll have to explore win32 api methods :(

This is pretty cool! :Thmbsup:
One small problem I haven't seen mentioned yet:
The links to posts open in the default browser, which is nice, but if the post contains a link and you click it, it opens in IE (yuck!)
Screenshot:
Oh...and autorun at startup would be better for current user and not local machine. It's more polite. There could be other users on a pc that might not appreciate this application as much as we do. :-[
And I have a feature request for the Pro version, if possible:
Ability to mark a post as read.

I have had some time to enjoy this now, and I am loving it...but...
I am afraid I won't be able to run this any longer. It's causing my general cpu usage to run much higher than normal (50-75%) for some reason...and of course raising the cpu temp (to near 67C).
Closing it seems to drop things back down to normal. (under 10% and about 52C or less)
For some reason, Explorer is going nuts while this is running.
Just for statistical reference:
P4 Prescott 3.2 ghz
Windows XP Home
1G ram
IE 7
What a shame too, because I really liked it. :(
If you need more info, let me know.
Wordzilla:
Thanks for the input app103. :) I'm sure the notifier needs a serious revamp and I'll get back to it asap (just needs to finish this DC web project first :-[)
