Here! Oh, you're not taking attendance. Did you mean to make an attachment? Otherwise that post makes no sense without context.

Oh, I get it. Were you testing out the program and viewing that post in it? That would make sense.

Exactly. Here, the forum watcher displays all exotic strings correctly. Same for you?

I haven't seen any issues thus far, jj.  :thumbsup:

I haven't updated it for a while, but you might like the latest version: it allows to search inside the posts.

Extract the exe to a folder and run it. Please report any issues, especially on Win10.

By default, it looks for strings that are typical for code, such as "mov" or "eax" or "rax". When you press Ctrl F, an exit box asks you to enter a search string. Type e.g. climate and hit Return. Matching posts will be highlighted.

Result right now:

Will look into it downloading and testing MasmBasic later... Couldn't PM in return to your PM:

Given that Stewart managed to activate safe surfing here, the version posted above didn't find its magic texts :cool:

Here is the new version.

There is a problem with your firewall: the program cannot download a required DLL.

- open this archive
- extract msftedjj.dll to the folder where you placed CheckNewPosts.exe
- start CheckNewPosts.exe

msftedjj.dll is a minimally modified (i.e. one byte) version of the Win7 C:\Windows\System32\msftedjj.dll

zedd151

okay the window now opens but...

Ok, that's not a surprise, given that the DLL could not be downloaded... so your firewall blocks downloads. Good, that's what firewalls should do (mine doesn't :tongue:). That probably means you must add an exception for the exe.

I am not running the firewall, never do. Nor anything antivirus...
The dll did download...  (592,384 bytes)

Just checked mine, it has exceptions for Firefox and several others but not for CheckNewPosts.exe :rolleyes:

Automagically, or by hand with the archive?

Ok, so that means it cannot download this file, which serves to check for new posts. Umpf... :sad:
