I'm an ancient user of K-Meleon who obviously hasn't been around much, but I couldn't pass the opportunity to join the debate here. Let me start by avowing that I jumped KM's ship around v1.5, when I started feeling that setting up KM was turning akin to running in a maze (fun, but unpractical). I have been a steady Firefox user ever since (in fact, I use the Pale Moon Proj

Sorry for digging up this old thread, but I think it's justified... oGet development seems to have stopped according to the comments at the last official page (http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/oget-2-4).

Just for the record, it's not the first time that a similar problem is reported here. It's been a while but if you search deep enough, I'm sure you'll find other reports here at the forum... IMHO, while something like this remains a possibility, KM should issue a very stern warning about the un/install location.

I beg to differ, I have been using wikidot forever for all kinds of things. You can set it for static pages, for blogging, for a forum(ish), or for a closed community site. There's plenty help around, check help while in page editing mode, and also the links on your admin area, and formatting is rather easy -- it gets plain HTML and the usual wiki lingo, with a few quirks.

Although it isn't the gospel, my advice originates from my empirical findings -- if you think differently, good for you then.
