As I have very recently re-posted, Be that as it may, for probably the last time: 1. Latest version of Mypal is 28.17.0 2. There have been no locale string changes since much previous version 28.13.0, so LP for that older version should be compatible with the latest version of Mypal. 3. This is general advice and I lost count of how many times I've posted about it, but in Mozilla-type browsers, for the language pack to take effect, you have to a) visit about:config and search for pref general.useragent.locale The default value would normally be en-US b) change the value to the one corresponding to your locale en-US => it c) restart browser Tada!

Just one lone update from Server 2012 to apply for December 2020: KB4592497 Still going strong with Windows 8.

Personally, I have not used XP since I upgraded to Vista about 13 years ago, but I have enabled TLS 1.1 and 1.2 for IE9 on Vista. If you hope to turn IE8 into a good browser to use in 2021, then you are probably wasting your time. Here’s another link where this was already discussed at MSFN: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177500-upgrading-ie8-to-tls-12/

WinNTSetup 4.5.0 Beta 2 - removed NT5 uxtheme patch - fixed mounting boot partition regression - improved bootice darkmode

Hi Noel! Thanks as always for your updates... I still look for something that I can find positive with Windows 10....but sadly I can't...Windows 10 has shown so many things that do not work and it varies from version to version what (if anything) has improved (or got worse). I have seen such simple things as "plug and play" not work at times....One aspect of Windows I have never liked is One Drive. People start there new computers and come to connecting to there network and nearly everyone connects to their Lan or Wifi and then you have to log in with a Microsoft account....it causes so much problems for the elderly that have short term memory problems. Even if you don't connect to your network and create a local account...Microsoft is forever asking us to finish off our settings and create a Microsoft account....as soon as folks do this and get conned into One drive...it ***** up their system folders and it is a pain to fix...Never liked One Drive and if I want to use it I login to my Microsoft account to transfer stuff I want on line for support. I had a customer the other day that had forgotten their login password and had no Idea of how to fix it....most of my pensioners are just not any good at writing up passwords etc ...and even if they do...they forget where they have written them....Of course I fixed this now with a local account and no password so they do not have to try and remember them... My partner likes Microsoft Teams and thinks that works well...several other customers have commented about that ...but I won't even waste energy on Microsoft and stick to third party software..... I upgraded my work computers to Windows 10 a while back and that is 1909. I froze all updates...removed all apps....and it has been OK...still prefer Windows 7 over this rubbish! The downside of this is going to the next update and going through the procedure again....just wish Microsoft could respect their users settings and leave them alone....

Don't find the REPORT / EDIT Links anymore? They are now behind a 3dot-icon, in headline of postings, right side. You can try if clicking it works for you, or if not: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182240-missing-buttoncontrol/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-1193841 (there's also a workaround for the menu on Login name, if broken) .

Broken ICONS in page header, post editor, 3dots-menu? Most such icons need a special icon-font, called FontAwesome A) either installed locally AND added to browser prefs (font.name-list....) B) or let browser download fonts from web when visiting a page (needs permission prefs) HOWTO: https://msfn.org/board/topic/176837-disable-web-fonts-in-google-chromemozilla-firefox/ example for A) pref("font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western", "Arial, Microsoft Sans Serif, FontAwesome, Symbola, OpenSansEmoji"); But use your own fonts, and copy pref for "x-unicode", "x-cyrillic" etc, And then the same for ...."list.serif.", and "list.monochrome." etc. pp.... .

<semi-OT> Another IPS board I occasionally browse (but don't belong to as a registered member) is nsane.forums . That one has also undergone the forum software overhaul last autumn, but the IPS default theme has been kept as a custom choice; do note that what's currently available is an updated iteration of past IPS default, but if one enables the new version now, one can get a good glimpse of what the pre-update version looked like... @asdf2345 : Scroll down to the bottom banner, then choose via "Theme": @siria : I combined your "fixes" into the following Stylem userstyle: @-moz-document domain("msfn.org") { html body.ipsApp li#cUserLink:hover ul#elUserLink_menu { display: inline-block !important; } html body.ipsApp ul#elUserLink_menu { background-color: yellowgreen !important; } html body.ipsApp ul#elUserLink_menu li { line-height: 1 !important; } ul.ipsComment_tools ul.ipsHide:hover, a.ipsComment_ellipsis:hover + ul.ipsHide { display: inline-block !important; position: static !important; } } to be used in Tycho based browsers (NM27, Arctic Fox) ; still, the overall MSFN experience in these browsers is highly problematic ... (I don't mean to be disrespectful , but the site owner tested the new layout only in Google Chrome 87/Win10 and, of course, all things work there as "expected"; so, no sympathy is expected/felt for (us here) users of older browsers on older OSes, which, I believe, is a unique trait of MSFN itself as a broader community, i.e. not to look down on users because of their Windows OS/hardware choices... Anyhow, the dice is cast and Rubicon crossed... ) <semi-OT/>

Update on this: Colour Picker custom selections are now stored in HTML5 cookies: The extension used is CookieKeeper 1.9.3.1

<semiOT> The new forum layout caused real havoc to me... 1. The "primary" and "secondary" colour settings (in "Colour Picker") are no longer stored in cookies. My personal preference was Marble (not the forum default) for both, and then I would protect these cookies with a specialised cookie extension, so that everytime I logged-in, those custom colour settings of mine would stick... 2. The newly instituted "sibebar" unnecessarily takes up horizontal screen space and the new "Customizer" wizard only allows for displaying it on the right (default) or left side of the page ... I ended up removing it altogether via uBlock Origin: msfn.org##.ipsLayout_sidebarright 3. We no longer have "Theme" choices, my preferred "IPS default" theme has vanished, while the only one available theme currently is a poor relative of the former default, "Swift"... 4. In Chromium based browsers, basically 360EE, the Dark Reader Chrome extension no longer yields the excellent dark result it used to with the previous MSFN Forum iteration... 5. The new layout is largely unusable in older browser engines, e.g., as posted already, in Tycho-based browsers like NM27 (Goanna 3 based KM should also be affected, can people check?) . Not only the "reaction" button is just a huge grey circle there: but now the Edit (post) button has been hidden inside a post header ellipsis (...) button, that doesn't work at all in Tycho ! To add insult to injury, to sign-out in NM27 I have to delete MSFN cookies, because the <myusername> button does not respond to clicks! If it was up to me, I would revert the layout changes without second thoughts... But perhaps it's just my middle age revolting against any type of change... If I had to guess, the new IPS forum software is specifically "improved" for the teen-aged users on the latest model of their hyped, touch-screen, mobile device, whereas on desktop devices, basic compatibilty with recent Chromium is all the IPS devs cared for... EDIT: And I just freakin' hate the fact that e-mail notifications now only display a truncated version of the post they refer to, whereas in the previous forum software ALL the relevant post was included in the body of the e-mail; VERY convenient for when the forums go off-line for days (has happened in the past) or for archiving/recovering content when, God forbid, the forum's huge database gets corrupted and months' worth of users' posted content gets forever lost (has already happened once during the time I'm a member here... ) <semiOT/>

As my dear Italian friend mentioned, only the ActiveX version of Flash (e.g. for IE) will be removed via Windows Update in Win > 7; Microsoft Edge (Chromium based) will, no doubt, be updated to a Flash-free version at that same time... NPAPI and PPAPI Flash versions manually installed by the user will have to be also uninstalled manually, but, if your OS is compatible, future browser updates (Mozilla Firefox and the numerous Chromium variants) will come with Flash supporting code completely removed... Of note is the fact that MCP browsers (Pale Moon, Basilisk) and forks will not drop support, but this fact will become a moot point after Jan 12th (unless user downgrades to NPAPI Flash <=32.0.0.71, to satisfy whatever niche needs...).

Today, the official Adobe Flash Player "version check" page no longer shows up; it was still working yesterday, Jan 1st, 2021, successfully detecting the last release, v32.0.0.465 ... https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ => https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html ... And it's the very first time they're revealing details about the time-bomb (included in versions > 32.0.0.371) set to go off on 12/01/2021

install WUFUC. it sometimes pops up after reboot, but don't worry about it. https://github.com/zeffy/wufuc

Screenshare works, but audio does not. In browser it works and when you use app verifier and spoof windows 10, audio works too. It is intentional

It's basically embedded Chromium, if screenshare only works on 10, something is either broken in Chromium or on Discord's side

Well yes, I'm aware of that. But discord still list windows 7 as their os requirement. Since they still list windows 7 I think we should not add it yet. source: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/213491697-What-are-the-OS-system-requirements-for-Discord-

The first "problem" and the one that needs to be addressed by UXP issue #1675 is the embedded web player on rutube.ru not loading/displaying in UXP browsers (New Moon 28, Serpent 52, IceApe-uxp, BNavigator, etc.), whereas the rest of the rutube.ru site is being loaded/displayed correctly. The second problem (probably unrelated to the first one) with the rutube.ru site is that in NM27 it appears to load at first, but then it vanishes into thin air, leaving an empty tab; in deprecated Mypal 27.9.4 and in Arctic Fox 27.11 (both Tycho forks, much like NM27), the site in question does load (no "second" problem present), but, of course, minus the embedded web player ("first" problem still present...). One begs the question what good it might be having a video portal working in a browser minus the ability to watch videos there (...), but to each their own...

... Thanks ; I arrived there independently myself, as posted here: Have a Happy New Year, I hope you weren't affected by that recent, strong, earthquake in your region...

As reported already by others, NM27 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2020-12-25) effectively kills several of previously installed extensions, below follow the status/addon bar of the same dirty profile first loaded in 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2020-12-11): and then loaded in latest 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2020-12-25): Missing icons, from L->R, are for: Dismiss The Overlay 1.0.3 Age Unlimiter for YouTube 1.0.2 (currently broken...)

So first of all why are you hostile againts me? where did I accuse you of something? What exactly have I done to you??? Alright this was my last reply to any of your posts, but you seriously misunderstands me. [Moderator's note: Suggestions about illegal activity, even indirectly, are not permitted here]

Mypal and Centaury related queries should be best directed at: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal/issues https://github.com/Feodor2/Centaury/issues (you need a GitHub free account... )

Latest versions of UXP browsers should have this issue fixed, e.g. latest Serpent 52:

SwiftSearch is great, such a shame that it only works on NTFS formatted drives. I actually find the search on XP to be pretty good, as long as you switch all the dancing dog rubbish off, but I fully agree that Windows 10 search is absolutely awful! It's not great even when the drive is indexed, and if it isn't the search is so slow as to be unusable. I absolutely hate the way it presents the results too!

I'm still using winamp 5.65 (not anything newer) due to some weird bugs appeared in newer builds.

You can always report this on the Nvidia driver forum (I'm only guessing because I don't have a desktop to test these GPUs on or an rtx 20xx or 30xx GPU). Customer is always king, as @xpclient rightly said somewhere on this forum

I found an easier way. Here's how to do it: 1. You will need Windows Vista installation media and Windows PE media that has diskpart and imagex (not DISM) (If you don't have it, you can use Windows Embedded POSReady 7 setup, which is what I used) 2. Boot the Windows PE or Windows Embedded POSReady 7 CD 3. When you get to setup, open command prompt 4. Type in these commands: diskpart sel disk 0 clean convert mbr cre par pri size=256 format quick fs=fat32 (You can also use NTFS, but FAT32 also works) assign letter w cre par pri size=32768 (or 32000) format quick fs=fat32 assign letter c exit 5. Now insert the Vista DVD or media, and type in these commands: imagex /apply D:\sources\install.wim 1 C: bcdboot C:\Windows /s W: bootsect /nt60 C: /force /mbr 6. Run Startup Repair. If you booted into Windows PE, reboot into the Vista DVD. When it tells you to restart, restart. 7. As mentioned here, the boot process will be VERY long. During the second stage it will give you an error. Open CMD by Shift+10, go to HKLM/System/Setup, change the CMDLine to cmd.exe, and change all values to 0. Then go back to the Command Prompt, and type in these commands: cd oobe msoobe 8. After the oobe has completed, it should close. Go back to the command prompt and type in taskmgr. 9. Go to Processes and kill "winlogon.exe". 10. You should now have Vista fully functioning on FAT32. I guess a good use for this would be to access a Vista partition from DOS or Windows 9x.

https://caniuse.com/webgl https://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/BlacklistsAndWhitelists If your GPU driver is blacklisted, you may try to force-enable webgl in the browser by toggling webgl.force-enabled;false and restarting the browser (depending on actual GPU, this may work or not, worst case scenario: the browser crashes upon launch - you'd have to restore that pref back to false by editing the prefs.js file in your profile...). It is needed by the mapbox API they're employing for displaying "Server Location"; as for actual deprecation, the Wikipedia entry for it is unclear about this; .. If you mean WebGL 1.0, well yes, this has been superseded by WebGL 2.0, but the latter is still being maintained, I think: https://www.khronos.org/news/tags/tag/webgl But then again, I'm not a gamer myself, so perhaps within the context of video games, the WebGL technology has been surpassed by newer APIs... That doesn't mean it's dead for simpler graphics tasks within a browser,,,

Well, that told me....lol...thanks jaclaz....can always rely on you.... Thanks for the information...will have a look and stop trusting Microsoft....lol....hang on was it me that wrote that.......lol bookie32

Well, Windows search sucked (and sucked big) since what? Windows XP? Depending on what you need, either Everything: https://www.voidtools.com/ or Swiftsearch: http://reboot.pro/topic/18855-windows-file-search-utility-that-is-fast/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftsearch/ are more than advised, needed . jaclaz

That's not happening on my Win7 SP1 (Pro, non-N) test VM, but that's maybe due to having a different edition.

... Wrong link there (to the test site itself!) Should've been: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=25830&p=205294 BTW, many thanks for raising this "there" (as you seem to be one of the very few that can coexist in both "camps" , without being given the "enemy agent" (and other, more derogatory) "accolade" by you know who... As the case is, @JustOff once more pinpointed correctly and swiftly the culprit ; too bad Moonchild (instigated by you know who) recently ostracised him from the core of the MCP devs... IMHO, he was the only one really sane person among them...

BTW, you're misspelling my name

Thank you! I finally managed to dualboot them. Man you saved me.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Could you also please lock the thread? since it may help someone too, but I don't need any more help.

You know why I can't rollback to earlier versions, scroll back. Also, btw, I DO understand English well but I have a god-awful 1366 by 768 TN panel on my main laptop. I don't use custom dark themes and also Dixel's customisations make it super hard to see the difference. I strained my eyes very much trying to see it. I thought you saw what @UCyborg said about the same. My issue is resolved now so let's stop arguing.

Now that you said that, I remember running 8.1 on some old 1.9GHz Dual Core AMD laptop, think it was like the TK-57 or something

Hear, hear @Dixel I wanted to keep the Server 2008 updates and also the extended kernel, so I thought the best solution to my problem would be uninstalling the Meltdown and Spectre patches that I carelessly installed. Turns out, it worked! Tested this with the latest November build of the extended kernel and also Opera browser, worked just fine (though I have deleted opera browser as I don't use it)!!

windows 8.0 vanilla user here, no problems on ryzen 5 1600x, gtx 1060, seems super stable also for some reason ms supports 8.0 with the new edge chromium, so I use that browser as well

Well yes, but last one is from january 2020 so you still need WUFUC to function. For example reliability updates to support new browsers: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4534297/windows-8-1-kb4534297

Actually sometimes they are not only security fixes. Windows 8.1 received nvme updates and usb-c reliability updates. They are important for new systems.

Most thankfully , you decided not to merge official issue #1684 changes, so perhaps, for clarity, you should've added that in the "reversals" of your latest UXP builds, e.g.: - Reverted "Issue #1684 - Move global user-agent override to networking component. (b863bd2ed)" Your praiseworthy efforts are highly appreciated once again !

You can directly bypass this with a neat script. Here's all the details: https://www.csoonline.com/article/3190832/bypass-microsofts-update-block-for-windows-7-8-1-pcs-with-kaby-lake-ryzen.html And even if that script didn't exist, I'm gonna tell you right now, I've been forgoing Windows security updates for YEARS. Never had a single malware issue since... What... A decade ago? But having said that, I'm a home user. For anything enterprise at all, you should be using Linux, or if you can't do that, Windows 10 with all sec. updates.

Except CPU blocking due to some updates. Those don't affect Windows 8, while using Server 2012 patches.

Well back in 2013 I absolutely hated that os. It was weird for me at the time. Windows 8.1 improved the metro ui, added start button and for me at least improved my pc performance (especially ssd io). Telemetry can be removed, so that’s why I asked that very question. I absolutely don’t want to make anyone angry or anything, just being curious.

I seriously do not understand why they f****** did this. Just why?? I hate modern software companies nowadays. Everything is a f****** expensive subscription, new operating systems are pieces of junk trying to spy on you whilst looking ugly. Back to my point, why would virtualization software check if I had patched my uxtheme to sideload a new theme for example? Unbelievable! Their explanation:

Windows 8.1 does this as well. I really hate Windows 10 UI in general. I like aero, but I also like colorful borders that Windows 8.1 has. Windows 10 is just ugly.
