It would even be okay if these anchors were not visible and required viewing the source to find.

Good idea, easy to do, done.

For simplicity, I simply took the feature captions as anchors, it seems to work, e.g.:
http://www.xyplorer.com/features.php#Find Files, File Search

OK, the forum software cannot handle a URL with blanks, so:
http://www.xyplorer.com/features.php#Fi ... e%20Search

Well that was rather short-lived...

If you don't want to have them that's fine, but now you might want to consider some redirects...
features.php >> product.php#features
licenselounge.php >> support.php#resources

Good points.

- I added anchors to product.php, so it should work again as before.
- I also added features.php, so it should even more work again as before (no duplicate code: the table is centrally made from a small database).
- I added licenselounge.php redirection.

The no-installed package doesn't have Startup.ini, XYplorer Homepage.url
So, the installed package is different?

Sure, the "installed files" listing only relates to the "Installer Package". I thought this is obvious.

What the?!?!?! DON! Someone just hacked your site! They made it SUPER PRETTY!!

Try looking at it via IE8 on XP - it looks like someone barfed on it - alll over the place...and...a nbr of potential customers are still on that platform, I think.

Anyways, when was this design started? I was very surprised about it although I haven't really been here in ages... Anyway very very nice looking! Good job!

Also are the link to the lounge anyway on the main page? I can't seem to find it. I know the direct link but there must be a link somewhere too right?

EDIT: Thanks j_c_hallgren. You just ruined my vision of pretty ponies and rainbows. I just HAD to take a look after that.

Actually does not look too bad in Netscape Navigator!! I mean very simply and to the point!

EDIT2: A comment. I think the feature list style now seems a bit out of place with the new style. I don't have any suggestions though...

Hm - I'm under XP, but with current Firefox: I think it looks correct. (Same as FF under Win7.)

Maybe you should try?

Ha, brilliant!

Yes, right! I tried something:

Erm, what happened to the License Lounge?

Taking a rest...

Yes, there are some sites that I now HAVE to use FF for due to security issues, etc., but my point was that some users (incl me) will still want to access it via IE and the prior site worked just great with it...I use IE for this forum and thus use IE for XY site.

I agree that trying to support the older weird IE6 vers isn't realistic but given that IE8 is last IE for XP, it should look decent at least with that, I feel.

Hi j-c, nice to hear from you again!

I have a similar problem with my old (and portable) Opera 12.17, which I still prefere to use wherever I reasonably can. Of course, it has more and more problems with the new standards (the new XY-page included - no check box icons on it with the old Opera).

As a kind of emergency exit in such cases I prefere a Vivaldi technical preview 3 (well, Blink/Chromium based), which can also be used in a portable mode (albeit having a footprint of almost 200MB!).

YES. That looks a lot better. Awesome!

@Borus
Yeah I missed Opera 12 as well since it's been having more and more issues with new web pages so I stopped using it. Still have it installed though. Really waiting to see how Vivaldi is going to be like since it's supposed to be what Opera is supposed to be.

Should that be interpreted as "it is currently being updated to deliver new value-add content to licensees in the light of recent disclosure of previously License Lounge-exclusive content to the general public" or "it is gone, deal with it" or "something else"? If it is something else, can you please elaborate what else? If it is the very first potential interpretation, could you please elaborate as to what this new value-add content is likely to be? Thank you.
