Third party software and hardware support forums. / Re: USB TO PARALLEL

Gerry - thanks for the tip re: getting things posted on the downloads page. Simple when you know how. 

Meanwhile FWIW I agree absolutely with everything you've said about Mach's current state. I've stuck steadfastly to 3.042.020. Yes it has bugs (mainly ones I was blissfully unaware of until reported by Ray) but they've never caused me personally any issues and I figure on better-the-devil-you-know. Later versions? - no thanks.

Cheers

Ian

I haven't hear anything about this and it's already on the downloads page?

Well this was the point I was making in my post above really - HOW does this stuff get there? do you pay? do you have to be in some private circle? do you have to do a special handshake? what? I'll soon be hopefully getting my new DTHC to market and a full colour ad couldn't hurt things. It doesn't need a plugin though so maybe I'm sunk 

Cheers

Certainly the OP might want to reflect on how and how not to word his posts if he wants to get help but I think he's long gone.

For me it raises the question of HOW and with WHOM exactly does someone arrange to have a product listed on the downloads page? To me it's allways seemed a little one-sided that you can only (officially) advertise your 3rd party product in the somewhat obscure "Third party software and hardware support forum" UNLESS it would seem, it requires a plugin. In that case it seems you can get a "full colour" ad on the "downloads" section.

That said, as far as this particular offering is concerened, reply #7 made me raise an eyebrow. The only "requests" I've seen are from people complaining that they don't respond to contacts about their products.

LOL - I reckon your 4 digits of precision is a tad on the conservative side...

Man!  I'm sitting her reading this thread and wondering what has gotten into everyone?  This seems to me like a simple mis-understanding blown WAY out of proportion!  Brad seems to me like a stand-up guy that has, through no fault of his own, found himself in a peculiar situation, and everyone is treating him like public enemy number one!  I just don't get it.  This is usually such a friendly forum....

Regards,
Ray L.

Ray, Have you bothered to read the whole history of this? I suspect not.

So here's a brief resume. The guy registers as ONE user and then for no apparant reason registers as another. He then gets into some hot water over licencing issues WHERE PEOPLE BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP. FIANLLY I lock the thread and suggest GENTLY and POLITELY he comes back when he's legit. He then disappears for a couple of weeks and then comes back under the first username again. In all this - has he gone out and got a legit licence? NO - in fact he infers in several posts he's not of a mind to. Now when really pushed he's GOING to get one. Yeah well we've heard that one before. So then after a bit of checking I ask why he has TWO usernames here (unreasonable question?) and he gives me some crap about email addresses. Fine Ray - YOU trust him YOU support him.

I just don't get this Brad - If you're as up-front as you keep protesting why the two usernames here on the forum?

You've been given the benefit of the doubt and a lot of good faith. Don't you think it's now time to return that? You know what to do. This is not fair on other demo users and in particular to those of us who payed for our licences.
