The custom badge colour idea is interesting but it may be too cumbersome. Most of the colours are already being used by the staff in their badges. Also, the remaining (potential) colours may not appeal to everyone.

I find it rude for people to say they'd prefer this, they'd prefer that or "i'd rather use the services for free" in a such a thread like this when the staff obviously work their butts off.

If you can't subscribe or have no intention to then what's the point in saying anything else? I know i'm not a subscriber, but I have been and I rarely visit here anymore.

It doesn't make me a hypocrit to be saying this though.

Quick question that I find amusing & confusing:

How could you have been a subscriber before when you only have one post & this is the post? :D

Well, I've decided to add myself to the list of subscribers. I must come here at least 10 times a day (this site keeps me sane at work), and it's almost as bad as my habit of checking Facebook.

That's good to hear! :) Good to see more and more people supporting Neowin too.

Neowin is strangely addictive, isn't it...

For reasons I'm not going to divulge I was upset with this site and its staff back in August, and told myself I'd stay away from it. Two months later I came back, posting actively, hanging out on the Neowin IRC server and even re-subscribed.

Why? Because it's still the best tech forum on the interwebtubes, and has a great community.

Yes, it is rather addicting in a sense. I like the community and how, for the most part, everyone gets along even during a debate, and whenever there's a question there are always at least 3 answers and supporting material. Neowin really is a great resource, and I figured that seeing as I come here so much (I have been lurking for a while before I decided to register) that I might as well pony up the little bit of change it took to register and help support the site.

This (Right click and save as) is a PSD I picked up from Neowin that I used as long as you have the font that matches the sig it should be ok in Photoshop.

If you don't have PS btw Rob does all the Sigs on here.

Enhanced Service & Blog

Apart from supporting Neowin financially we also offer extended services for members for a measly ?10 (or round about $12.50 USD)

This package allows you to start a blog, offers extended topic/post editing, flood control significantly shortened, boosts PM storage to 200 messages, raises the upload limit for attachments to 1mb, includes a support forum and your online status is updated with + in front of your name and a shiny badge to show you support Neowin.

There is also an extra forum tied to the package where Subscribers are invited to post topics we wouldn't allow on the public forums (although nothing illegal is welcome there, our forum rules still apply).Sign up here!b>

When you say 12.50$ is that a monthly fee or an annual one ??

Edit :Never Mind .. I found that out

How can I pay for the subscribtion though Since we don't have PAYPAL (They Blacklisted Lebanon on PAYPAL), do you have something like a bank account I can transfer the money to ??

    • PDF4QT 1.6.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 by Razvan Serea PDF4QT is a free and open-source application created to provide a complete solution for working with PDF documents in a simple, flexible, and effective way. It offers all the essential tools you need to handle your files: you can view PDFs with smooth navigation, edit content, annotate pages, and highlight key sections for better collaboration. It also allows you to compare two versions of a document, making it easy to spot changes. Built-in security features give you control over protecting sensitive information and managing access. Applications PDF4QT Viewer Profi: Advanced PDF browsing with encryption, digital signature verification, annotation editing, regex text search, page-to-image conversion, and plugin support. PDF4QT Viewer Lite: Lightweight viewer with essential, user-friendly PDF viewing functions. PDF4QT DocPage Organizer: Merge, split, move, clone, or add pages easily with an intuitive interface. PDF4QT DocDiff: Compare two PDFs, highlight differences page-to-page, and export results to XML. Key Features Multithreading Support for faster PDF processing Hardware Accelerated Rendering for smooth, high-quality display Encryption to secure documents Color Management to preserve accurate color profiles Optional Content Handling to control visibility of content Text Layout Analysis for better text extraction and editing Signature Validation for verifying digital signatures Annotations and Form Filling for interactivity Text-to-Speech Conversion to listen to PDFs Advanced Annotation Tools (images, text, etc.) File Attachments Management to view and save attachments Optimization to reduce file size without losing quality Command Line Tool for automation Audio Book Conversion from PDFs Internal Structure Inspector to explore PDF structure Compare Documents to detect differences Redaction to remove sensitive information Document Signing for digital authentication PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 release notes: PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 brings a major image compression and optimization update, especially for PageMaster and assembled output documents. Image compression is now integrated into the assembly/export workflow, backed by new optimizer infrastructure, UI controls, feedback fixes, and tests. This should make PageMaster much more useful for producing smaller output PDFs directly from assembled or reorganized documents. The release also contains a large PageMaster refresh with improved drag and drop, recent files, crop pages, save/restore functionality, rotation and size indicators, a reworked icon set, and faster output preview rendering. Viewer and Editor workflows were improved with wildcard Advanced Find, Enter-to-search behavior, better outline keyboard selection, startup settings, fullscreen support, side-to-side scrolling, smoother scrolling, text selection, snapping, and expanded annotation controls. Compatibility and platform behavior were improved as well, including fixes for embedded files, fonts, checkboxes, invisible text, menu colors, highlights, XMP metadata, Windows color management, AppImage packaging, MSIX generation, installer behavior, translations, and newer compiler/Qt warnings. The commit history also includes a new scan-and-edit plugin foundation and color management performance work.

      A difficult position to be in. Either they cater to us users or they cater to news curators to potentially increase traffic. Personally, I wasn't being sarcastic. Hosting a website isn't free, so without traffic this site stops existing, and if you want traffic you have to play the game. I legitimately thought the title was good. Not because I like it, but because it's the kind of title people will click on. This site needs that.
