Problems/bugs are a natural result of software development. SRS has done a great job with this application and I'v felt it should be one that is sold. It is easily worth anywhere between $10-$20.

I have also had problems using TodayPlus from caching pages that eats up all my storage space (I've since changed pages cached to 0) to it not saving my preferences, to I suspect causing a hard reset recently, but that is to be expected. I hope SRS continues to develop and improve this application.

In any event, freeware is use at your own risk and no one should be angry with the developer (if that IS in fact happening). Keep up the good work SRS, I look forward to using future releases. BTW, going back to my original question, when can I expect it.

Kudos!

In the past, the TodayPlus community has been know for providing excellant assistance by creative and knowledgable people, who were committed to seeing TodayPlus succeed, by freely donating their time.  Now I am afraid we may be known as a community that whined and complained and drove away a GREAT developer who was willing to share with us a GREAT piece of software.

Please, lets try and get back to providing helpful solutions and constructive feedback, along with a positive attidude, and hope that SRS will return.

I would encourage everyone who is a satisfied user of Today Plus to send SRS a private message offering him positive feedback on your experience with his application and ask him to return.  We'll start our own campaign.  Just click on the srs name in a post and there will be a logo 'pm' that you can use to type him an email.  He might not be visiting the forum, but I'm sure he will read emails.  

And as an example, I included my email to him:  

SRS,

I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I've enjoyed using TodayPLUS AND that you missed at the forum.  There is a thread that is getting longer each day from happy users wishing you would return and continue development of this great app.

There will always be people who complain, whine and are generally otherwise unhappy.  This is just part of the territory.  The work you've done is appreciated by a much larger group of people who have become dedicated users and look forward to seeing future releases from you.  

I encourage you to give the forum another chance and build off your already successful work.  This is an app you should sell and make a profit off of.  I'm sure you could charge anywhere from $10-$20 for the application which would help you continue development and keep your happy user base as loyal as ever.  

You've done great work and are missed!

Sincerely,
yvesrn

Let's see if you can come up with a version that will solve our problems.

I'll leave the out the CAPS as it would consist of "!**&@##*@@"


That's pretty much what is said here.

Hi SRS:

I am just repeating what others have covered in own way. I have used TP in more ways that I can express in this forum. TP have challenged some of us to do things that we would not have thought we are capable of doing. It is all possible because of the wonderful program that you have created. I am speaking for myself and probably most of that have used the program.

I am a very positive individual that believes in people. I know that you also believe in sharing, if not, you would not have created such a wonderful program to share with us.

We miss you and all your participation. Come back and soon.

Everything I need to know - Part I
I know that several decades ago, I dedicated myself to spend the rest of my life with my best friend - I got married.  I know that throughout the years, I have often disagreed with my lovely bride, sometimes with great PASSION!  I know that if I disagree so strongly with someone I have committed my life too, my chances of agreeing with everyone on this board to whom I have commited nothing (not even financially), are relatively slim.  And yet, we are stronger because as a community we raise this product to a higher level.

Everything I need to know - Part II
I know that because of this board, I have learned a great many things about some wonderful people.  

I know that the two canine brothers (Blazingwolf and CoolWolf), besides being great desiginers, show tremendous patience and kindness with each newbie post that asks a question.  Even if the question is almost exactly the same as a previous post several days earlier.  Their gift of patience is truly amazing, and for that I am greatful.  By the way, Blazingwolf was the #3 response on the original Brighthand board when SRS first asked for help so if anyone wants to talk about time involved in this journey, he should get first shot.

I know that the scholars of this board - Morpheus, Jhollin1138, RBG08, Lightman, YA1950, fishboy, arbitrajeu, joelw135, yogiman, and many others have provided wisdom and direction and generated many wonderful discussions on what this product can be.

I know that many people from all over the world have come to this board for help, direction, laughter, and to share in a great product.  I currently see 8 translations on the board - wow!  I know that we come from many backgrounds, professions, experiences, etc., and many of us come with respect, kindness and patience looking for guidance and help.  We all have something to offer, even if it's our affirming a product and a job well done.  

I know that the new people to this board, such as madtxn, have shown an incredible passion for this product in a very short time period.  It's interesting that today+ can inspire so much feeling.

I know that LordTwisted does not sleep.  No matter what time I check this board from which country, his is always the most recent post.  And except for his sometimes interesting spellin' (warnning - lol), he is the most wonderfully creative person designing for Today+.

I know that we are all here because of:  Eitel.  His hosting of this board is a great gift that we all take for granted, yet takes a tremendous amount of energy and time (and money).

I know that this is the only board I check regularly.  I watch the feature requests turn into sticky's to get an idea of what might be in the next release.  And even though I don't know how I could use all the wonderful ideas that people suggest  (I live in St. Paul, Minnesota where the high today was 5 below, and the Ice Palace was closed because of cold - I will never see anything but a Blue temperature), I am constantly amazed by the breadth and depth of suggestions.  And yes, SRS is always one step ahead of us.

I know that I don't post with any regularity - although, I do try to help people through PM with problems from time to time.  While some people want to see only one day of calendar's events at a time, I would like to fit one day on a page, just once.  So, I apologize SRS for not being more active, I never seem to have enough time.  

Everything I need to know - Part III
I know that I get tremendous use out of this product. I've tried and paid for the others, but this is the product that lets me see it my way.  Different weather reports and different time zones, schedules, and news.  In a font that even I can see.  My days are busy, and this simplifies a great many things for me.  

So, everything I need to know, is right there on Today+.  SRS, THANK YOU!

First of all sorry for my bad English, it is not my foreign language.

1. Ones upon a time I wrote a tool program for my colleagues (80) in the company.
2. After same time there came a second  version for bug repair and for changed demands.
3. When I made version 3 I was still bugged by people telling me it did not work well, that where still using version 1.
The are just to lazy to download the new version, and preferred to blame other colleagues for the damage done.
There was also a vandal who put his name in stead of mine in the program.
4. So in this version 3 I build in a expiration date, and worse it did look for the old programs and deleted them. That was worse then SRS.
5. Off course I did NOT tell anybody about this because the would have made a backup of the old program.

SO IF YOU LIKE, PISS ME OFF,
but leave SRS doing what he is known to do excellent, Write programs.
Just meabe, he is not strong in communications that's not what we need from him. I't is not my strong side I think I'll understand him.

SRS a cannot imagine that you do not peek here, or get told what is happening here. Don't let the good suffer from the bad. Remember the friends you have here and don't let go of them, for nobody!
Greetings, HansH
Oh, Just love this program!
