Reply to Paypal and the Current 24h Holiday Sales? You lost me ... in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

[quote who="milksama" reply="7" id="2479155"]That is correct... we're unfortunately unable to process orders with paypal as the method of payment if a coupon is involved. Mike[/quote] Unfortunately you chose a "coupon" system for you 12 day holiday sale, essentially locking out quite a few potential customers from it. If I had the possibility to pay with PayPal I would have bought my second title on you platform today. It's a shame that you are wasting an oppo

Securit/reliability is not the issue but a credit card purchase is currently simply not an option.

Thanks, I was actually looking for Fences subforum here ... little did I know that there was an entirely different forum for it. This forum was the one linked to when clicking "support" on the Fences website. I guess I'll still wait for Fences to mature a little bit before I give it another go.

Well, I just unistalled Fences and after a reboot everything is back to normal. It's a shame, I only used it for a day and I already miss it. I'm just a tiny bit disappointed to see, though, that nobody really seems to care about this feedback. :( Mhhh, I might give Fences another shot in the future. :)

First of: I really like Fences. It's a simple idea (one that I think I saw in KDE4 before, but who cares) very well executed. And it solves an actual problem very elegantly. Since it's a BETA, so I did expect bugs. Ah well, here they are, one is rather severe (and surprising): I'm among the lucky ones with early access to Windows 7 Ultimate and my OS is German (but with additional an English language pack). While fences isn't yet translated it works like
