Great!,
Now it's the norm to keep your "primary" system specs on the forum as a signature.
Obviosly, if you are like me you may have 1 work system and one home. Just use the PC that you use the most and have admin rights too.
Because you may be asked by the dev team or you yourself may want to change settings to see if it resolves an issue at some point.
Other than that, write your posts clearly. if you have any ideas that you have about powerarchiver tools, features or even new requests please post them.
If you feel it's for the dev team only which can happen, just email them via the support page.
Your a programmer, so you are more than aware that at Alpha "prealpha" you are accessing potential unreliable software and even more importantly a glimse into the future of the program.
So it takes time for the dev team to trust a person to reach alpha level as you can fully understand.
We obviosly dont want the competitors to get wind of any new features in the testing motion before it's offical.

If you are a PA fan, you will remember the time we brought out the 1st ever archive tool with ribbon interface.
Winzip soon followed.. and in our opinion they still cant get it rite
Ow, and speak your mind! if you feel pasionate about something dont give up but explain why. I still remember arguing the toss over why PA should have FTP! and adjustments to the way it looks or works in certain aspects and many of them are still in thought and some are in the program and to me thats the rewarding aspect.
hope this all make sense and welcome!
PS: Remember, there is 2012 Beta 2 out now so start testing buddy!
