I grateful to Ken and to you for letting me about all past problems with the forum!

1) Uploading should works now. 2) Email topic feature also workable now. 3) Posting counter is working now, as Invision technician wrote to me right now.

Please read http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....opic=3667&st=40

The first beta will be available for all soon.

Tom, if I show demo of slide-show right now (without giving beta), you will not able to wait at all after it

Thanks for letting me know. I just sent new request to Invision about this current problems.

We'll have a first internal alpha of PTE v5.00 within several days (with minimal features, but workable Pan/Zoom/Rotate with Fade effect). So first beta will be soon.

Yes, the forum was moved to another server today. It's still Invision, but absolutely new server. I hope it will work better now. And I apologize about this long down time.

We are continiously asking Invision for this problem. And if it will not be solved soon, we will change forum hoster.

The problem with false detection of slide-shows created in PicturesToExe v4.30 was solved yesterday. Please update your AVG antivirus. Here is response from AVG developers: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your email. This False-positive is probably corrected in the latest AVG Update. Please download all available AVG updates and try to check if the problem persists. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invision wrote me: ------------------------------------- Apologies for the inconvenience, this should now be resolved. We are working to resolve the difficulties with this server ASAP. Thanks! Stewart Campbell Senior Technician & Conversions Specialist

Stupid problem, really. Three years ago we had exactly same problem with wrong detecting of EXE created ONLY with PTE v4.30 with Norton Antivirus and Kaspersky Antivirus (as now problem with AVG). I wrote directly to Cris Kaspersky and to internal email of developers of Norton Antivirus and they quickly solved this false alarm. Now it seems that AVG took same earlier bases with this error... Here are letters of Norton Antivirus to Cris Kaspersky concering similar problem which happened 3 years ago:

I just sent a letter to AVG. This problem occurs only with old slide-shows created in v4.30 And I think AVG will solve it very soon. If it possible, please send your response to AVG. Here is example of slide-show created in v4.30 which AVG MISTAKENLY marks as a "virus": htttp://www.wnsoft.com/test/PTE_v430_SlideShow.zip

Yes, I remember similar problem with mistaken detecting with Norton Antivirus and Kaspersky Antivirus - they fixed that problem very soon.

Ok, I'll contact to AVG to solve this problem ASAP.

Tim, I'll send you email with special test version which will help us to find exact reason of this problem.

What exact antivirus program you use? And date of last updating.

Quote and other forum codes are working now.

It should works now. p.s. currently Invision is solving the problem with incorrect displaying of quote.

You can now upload avatars. Also I just sent new request to Invision about problem with forum codes, quotes.

All problems with the forum should be resolved now. Please let me know if still something doesn't work.

Some members still can not start new topic or reply. It happened because after upgrading of the forum. "Restrict posting indefinitely" option was added to all profiles automatically. This problem will be solved soon.

We are very near to the first beta version. As I said earluer, we've finished the new main graphical engine. Currently we're working on code which manages slides and realize again all features in slide-show.

Thank you for your patience! Invision staff already working on solving of all these temporal problems. We use Invision forum's engine and we use Invision web hosting for the forum and they performed upgrading of the forum. So I think the problem will be solved soon. Also I have full backup of the forum before upgrade. I never did this upgrade, but all highly recommended to do it because of possible safety moments of the old version of the forum.

I'm sorry for temporal problem with access! We're updating the forum and all problems will be solved very soon. p.s. updating is very necessary because of old version of previous forum's engine and possible security moments.
