Question about Supermium before I dive in and try it. UI-wise, it just Chrome, correct? I wish there was a way to make a browser that looked like Chromium Edge did when it was in beta, but with today's engine.. It would be even better with tabs under the address bar. I'm just thinking out my replacement options for when Firefox ESR 115 bites the dust.

Sheesh - gotta love Andy Prough's really friendly mention on the Moonies forum. You'd think there'd be appreciation for AstroSkipper's UBO Legacy mod ... but no. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=30787#p247823

Thanks for the heads up

I actually meant the auto login (or auto-filled usernames and passwords). They're in there, because if you press login on the website, it works, but the boxes show blank.

Is the white boxes content also related to not seeing most saved usernames and passwords populated in the boxes? (auto-filled?) Otherwise, the x86 version is working quite well on Vista Home Basic.

It's actually gone. His XP based page for downloads is still there. But he shut down his forum nearly a year ago.

I just created an account over there too. Well, at least we're not stranded without RyanVM's forum.

Thank you. I have an old account there, so that's where I'll check. Thanks!

So again where are we to get status updates when the board goes down?

That's alright. I already have the LTSC 2019 box setup, customized, pared down and ready to go for use next year, so I'll stick with it. Plus the LTSC 2016 won't have support updates for as long, And I hear the more recent LTSC builds have a much fatter and bloated Windows Defender implementation that causes a performance hit.

No I actually prefer ESR versions. They stay with the same feature set, and userChrome.css changes to the UI are set. Otherwise, I'd have to make changes every three weeks. Plus I'm staying on Windows 8 for the meantime, not Windows 8.1

My understanding is if I skipped that month's update (I think it was April 2018), I would have the following updates, and not the one with Spectre/Meltdown patches. I never used the rollups. Anyway, everything worked out fine

I thought so. I had resigned to not using it, as I knew that October 2023 updates were going to be the last ones generally available. I have turned off the Windows Update service, since I now just manually update Windows Defender. So I'm going to run the OS as is for the remainder of the year. I'm still getting updates for Firefox ESR 115, so we're good until September there. I'm OK that I can't use these new ESU updates for Windows 8. I always installed the "Security Only Update" and not the rollups, since that allowed me to bypass the Spectre, Meltdown and Flash patches. End of an era. Next year I'll move to Windows 10 LTSC 2019. I'll miss ya Windows 8.

Hopefully what I'm asking is not in violation of the forum terms and conditions: Has anyone on Windows 8 attempted downloading and installing the November 14, 2023 update (KB5032247), which is the Monthly Rollup? I have turned off Windows Update, now that October 2023 has come and gone. I didn't wish to act as a guinea pig this time, but I am interested if it still installs, without any tools or patches.

Yeah but mina701, it's perfectly reasonable to offer up valid alternatives to bridge the gap. He just wants to read the files. If you're saying (like the OP) that only valid solution to an issue is exactly what was specified in the thread title, and no one can offer up a better idea, that's not being reasonable at all. You did understand what point I was trying to drive home in the doctor's visit scenario, didn't you? OK I'm done

I'll say! I mean, you try to help a fellow Canadian The way he sees it, it's like going to a doctor and saying, "My leg is in pain, and I need you to chop it off"! The doctor replies, "No need actually! We have medicine that will get rid of that pain. You can keep your leg!" But tirigliu doubles down and says, "Wait! I specifically asked that you fix this by amputating my leg. There's no need for your silly comments!" Sigh!

I just edited my post -- JUST before you responded

It's not off-topic at all. He's saying you can use a more readily available extraction tool, instead of messing around with WinRAR, especially since any version you can use on XP will not extract the RAR archives you want to read. Just source 7-Zip 9.20. Having paid for WinRAR, you can still use it on your modern OS releases. As for MPC, I use MPC-HC v1.71. What can't it play?

I asked already (twice) - and he won't. I am using it on Windows 8 Pro x64 now, as a 32-bit program. I'm just hoping Tobin will re-emerge with an x64 build.

Well the Linux community has no issue about leaving x86 behind. I'm not making a religion out of it. I just don't see the point of settling with an x86 build when in actual fact, x64 is de facto standard in 2023. It seems as much as I'm supposedly being "religious" about it, many here are stubbornly resisting my idea By the way, isn't there a 64-bit edition of XP too? I would think many would like to run a 64-bit mail client there too. I'm not trying to be smarmy. It's just that when I make a reasonable ask, and I have to listen to all of the protest of my opinion, it gets fatiguing. Nothing personal. I've already accepted that I'll no longer ask for an x64 build of MailNews, so we're all good.

MailNews IS based on Interlink. That's why the BinOC reference is there, for Interlink (mail) and Borealis (browser). I'm running MailNews for now, with the hopes that Tobin releases a new Interlink, so i may go back to it.

Thanks - mind you I have tried both Epyrus and SeaMonkey for quite awhile now. I'm just not as big on their UI. I really liked Tobin's interface for Interlink (which WAS an x64 build - why is it that everyone is curious about that? I simply want 64-bit binaries for my x64 OS). Anyway, I have been waiting for forever for Tobin to come out with an update, as he keeps saying he will. I customize the UI with the Photonic theme and it really looks snazzy on Windows 8. Again, I appreciate your chiming in.

Still I prefer to use an application natively, rather than through x86 emulation if I can. I don't see that as "just because". However, even if that were the case, I still prefer to run an application that utilizes the native bus-width of the OS I'm using. My choice - good enough reason for me

Is DeramMail Pro available in x64 builds?

I must have missed this thread (or maybe posted a response to someone not knowing where it was). I'm an Interlink refugee, and while I can move to MailNews (since Tobin has not updated Interlink in a year and a half now), I REALLY want to use an x64 build. I realize Roytam1 doesn't want to provide that, but it would have been the PERFECT solution. Has anyone attempted building an x64 build of MailNews? I'm testing the x86 version it on Windows 8, but I would LOVE an x64 build instead. Sigh!
